RelPrint Console Cheats: Sims relationships in exact numbers by todoabout - MTS


Ever had the same problem as poor Rose here?
Then maybe I have a solution for you!
 Problem Description

In Sims games before 2014, it was relatively easy to sort relationships by their range. The game simply did it for us, the leftmost Sim in the Relationships panel being the most friendly and the rightmost Sim being the least friendly towards the active character.

Then The Sims 4 came out, and suddenly the sorting order became less helpful and less obvious. Friends and bypassers and enemies and lovers, all jumbled, all pell-mell... It's like the Relationships panel was put through the blender. I'm not sure what the current sorting order is supposed to be (last talked to, perhaps?), but you surely can't decipher who's your first and second best friend from there.

In the game resources, there is relationship.print_score cheat, which is supposed to show relationship score. It was never officially announced by Maxis, and it doesn't seem to work at all. (This mod is loosely based on relationship.print_score, the difference is this one actually works).

The worst thing about it is that some challenges like The Bachelor or my very own Thirty-One (which I'm currently playtesting in TS4) require the player to distinguish between relationship levels. The absence of this info renders the challenge virtually unplayable, if you simply can't tell which Sim is winning and which one gets the boot. That is a serious problem.

This is where I come in.

 Overview and Usage
RelPrint Console Cheats is a small mod which allows you to get Sims relationships represented in exact numbers. It adds two console cheats to the game, Relationship Print (relprint) and Household Relationship Print (hhrelprint). Using these, you can print out the needed information in the console.
