I’ve added to my Motive Overhaul to make it stand alone and do more! Now, in addition to motive changes, the main version supports infant, toddler, and child PlantSims without relying on any other mods.
This overhaul does the following:
- Enables infant, toddler, and child PlantSims
- Fixes the bugginess of toddler and child PlantSim motives
- Removes Energy motive in addition to Bladder
- Renames Hunger to “Sunlight”
- Replaces Water with a new “Water” motive that’s actually a renamed Hygiene and should now work correctly for children and toddlers. This is based on the mermaid version of the Water motive. Note: toddlers’ water need will go down slowly because toddler hygiene goes down slowly without dirty diapers.
- Gave toddlers water gain from drinking bottles. As a side effect, mermaid toddlers also gain more hydration from drinking bottles.
Be warned that this overrides the Hunger and Hygiene motives and will conflict with any other mod that does so. I would love to figure out a way to not override something so major, but from what I can tell even the XML Injector doesn’t have a thing for that.
Details
- Ilex_BG_PlantSimOverhaul - The main mod. Designed for use on its own. Compatible with Triplis's PlantSim Interactions & GOOD_BOYgoneBAD's PlantSim Inheritance. Other mods may require a compatibility version.
- Ilex_BG_PSO_Compat- Compatibility versions of the mod to be used in place of the main mod. Current versions include: SrslySims's PlantSim Lives & Gauntlet's PlantSim Stuff. Includes an instruction file.
- If you use only the objects from Gauntlet's PlantSim Stuff the main mod should work rather than needing a compatibility version.
The new strings are in:
- English
- French
- Polish
- Russian
- Vanessa Sims – French translation (addon not translated)
- SER_KISYAN – Russian translation
- Aarathiel - Polish translation
- Infants don't gain water from bottles. It wasn't as simple as I'd hoped and I don't want to hold up the release any longer. Should be a trivial issue since they lose water so slowly.
- jiskett - Extensive beta testing
- Vanessa Sims - French translation
- SER_KISYAN - Russian translation
- Aarathiel - Polish translation
- Green hair option for infant-child sims
Addons
- Addon with overrides to change PlantSim appearances. The mod defaults to green skin and normal hair. If you want something else use one of these.
- Includes: GreenSkinGreenHair, NormalSkinGreenHair, & NormalSkinHair
Requires StrangerVille
- New trait for PlantSims that are infected by the Motherplant. PlantSims who become infected or infected sims who become PlantSims will get the "PlantSim of the Motherplant" trait
- These sims have a custom overlay instead of the green one
- They are also more connected to the Motherplant and can walk through spores and communicate with her without becoming possessed.
- However, because they're so connected they can't be cured of the infection. It's permanent! (Okay, yes you can cheat it, but humor me)
- If anyone more artistic than me wants to try their hand at a better overlay I welcome the help and will provide credit and thanks of course!
- If you use a GreenHair appearance addon for the main mod you should also use a PinkHair appearance addon for this. Otherwise you'll have PlantSims of the Mother Plant with green hair.
Requires StrangerVille
- An addon to an addon. The PlantSimMotherPlant addon defaults to normal hair, blue skin, and a pink and purple overlay but if you want some other variation use one of these.
- Includes: NoBlueSkin, PinkHair, PinkHairNoBlueSkin
- If you use a GreenHair addon for the main mod you should also use a PinkHair addon for this. Otherwise you'll have PlantSims of the Mother Plant with green hair.

Patch Notes

- Added a variety of appearance addons, some by request and some to anticipate requests.
- These patch notes may not look like much, but this is actually a huge update. Please let me know if you run into any problems with it!
- Once again, a huge thank you to jiskett for testing so many versions for me! This mod wouldn't be where it is without her help!
- IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove all old files related to this because it will not all overwrite correctly and could cause problems.

- Updated the main mod to support the addon.
- Added Polish translations from Aarathiel
