Requires: Base Game
This is a rabbit hole base game mod but includes some features from other packs.
This is a huge rabbit hole mod with 500+ places spread across food, fun, classes, vacations, wellness, work, events, and storytelling. You sims will build motives, skills, and 1,600+ moodlets/buffs to match every single place they visit. Includes over 100+ social scenarios to meet sims!
I wanted it to feel like your Sims actually have places to go for everyday life, fun, work, classes, little story moments, wellness stuff, events, and vacations.
Some places are cute and cozy, some are realistic, some are more dramatic, and some are just there to make storytelling more fun.
What Kind of Places Are In It?
Each place provides its own skills/motive increases, its own moodlet/buffs, and some will have extra benefits. An example is a hostpital visit will medicate your sims, voidcritter places might give you booster packs, and some places will earn you money.
Food Places
Food has a lot of variety. There are cafes, ramen shops, bakeries, dessert places, seafood places, burger spots, brunch places, tea places, smoothie bars, and more themed stuff like Voidcritter Cafe.
Fun Places
Fun is more for outings, hanging out, and entertainment. Things like arcades, aquariums, theme parks, skating, bowling, game places, and stuff like Karaoke Lounge, Paintball Arena, Aquarium Night, and Corn Maze.
Classes
Classes are for skill-building. This includes creative classes, wellness classes, practical classes, tech classes, performance classes, parenting classes, and more.
Vacations
Travel all around the world, they last a day, and your sim will get a moodlet/buff explaining their experience.
Wellness Activities
Peaceful places, nature places, self-care places, and medical places.
Work / Odd Jobs
Part-time jobs, side hustles, odd jobs, and everyday money-making.
Events / Festivals
Festivals, fairs, church, markets, expos, concerts, competitions, and community stuff.
Storytelling
This category has things like family visits, sleepovers, appointments, shopping trips, relationship moments, milestone events, and more everyday roleplay type places.
Social Options
Requires: Get Together
Sims can make enemies, friends, and even catch up with familiar sims.
Automatically build relationships with sims on the same lot that are traveling as well.
The interaction affects the sims mood not just their relationship.
Missing Options?
If you are not seeing options inside the menu please understand that:
Not every place is open every day.
Not every place is open early.
Some places are meant to feel more special or more realistic, so they show up on certain days/times only.
How to use: Just click on your sim and choose an option to do.
Note: Canceling the interaction will take away the benefits.
Smarter Autonomy
Sims will not constantly leave through rabbit holes non-stop.
Sims will go to places based on their motive/needs.
Not all places are autonomous like storytelling, religious places, work, and vacations. You will have to manually make your sims go to those.
There is a HUGE cooldown to make sure sims aren't constantly spam leaving.
There will be an option to download an "No Autonomy" version.
