Teenage Interaction Reactions

Similar to my other Interaction Reaction mods, this mod adds new moodlets, notifications and sentiments to some of the interactions for teenagers in the game.

With the release of the High School Years expansion getting closer I got thinking about some of the terrific interactions the teens actually do have in the game.
The downside to them is that they don't really do anything. They don't mean much in the greater scheme of the game.

So, I wanted to change that by gradually working through the interactions that I feel need a little more depth.

 You Will Need:
The Mood Pack by Lumpinou ~ My mod makes use of several of Lumpinou's new moods and it will not work without it.

Version 1.0 of this mods edits the following interactions:
Ask About WooHoo (Base Game)
Give The WooHoo Talk (Base Game)
Boast About Messing Around (Parenthood Required)
Spread Rumours About WooHoo (Parenthood Required)

More details on what's been added to each interaction can be found below.
*Some of the screenshots above show incomplete sentences. These have already been fixed in the mod and were noticed during testing while I was navigating the new pronoun tokens. So don't worry, the sentences are complete in game*

Boast About Messing Around



A little known fact; Messing Around is in fact the name given for teens to the WooHoo interaction.
The game has a hidden trait that is applied to a Sim after their first WooHoo and teens get this trait if they 'Mess Around' with a partner.

With that fact, I wanted to have some fun with the Boast About Messing Around interaction from Parenthood.
My overhaul includes the following:

➡️7 new Moodlets for both the Boasting Sim and the recipient. The moodlets the Sims receive are dependent on things like traits, mood and the relationship between the two Sims. Similarly, there are different reactions if the boasting happens to be true!
➡️ 1 new Sentiment for Sims who've had enough of listening to another Sim Boasting.

Spread Rumours About WooHoo



Teens spreading rumours is another interaction I enjoy from Parenthood but it seemed such a shame that nothing ever really came of it. So I tweaked that and now you can see exactly what those cheeky teens are saying.
My overhaul includes the following:

➡️ 6 new Moodlets for both the rumour-spreading Sim and the recipient. The moodlets the Sims receive are dependent on things like traits, mood and the relationship between the two Sims.
➡️ 5 new notifications to show what rumours the teens are spreading and 4 new notifications to show the response to the rumour.
➡️ 1 new Sentiment for when teens get caught lying.
➡️ I also made the interaction autonomous. Let the mischief commence!
➡️ I created a new hidden trait, Heard Misinformation. Much like the hidden HadWooHoo trait Maxis made, this trait will be applied to your Teen sim if they hear, and believe, a rumour. This will have an impact on their other woohoo-related conversations (more later).

Give The WooHoo Talk



This one I really went to town on. This interaction is only availed between teens and their parents; the adult can give a WooHoo talk to their teenagers.
In real life, there are hundreds of different ways this can go. In the game, if felt very lacking and devoid of personality or any real feeling. So I wanted to change that and, with the suggestions sent to me by multiple members of the community, I've ended up giving, what I hope, is some personality to this terrific interaction.
My overhaul includes the following:

➡️ 33 new Moodlets between the parents and the teenagers. Once again, the responses to this interaction will be dependent on the relationship between parent and teen, their mood, traits, whether or not the teen has heard rumours and whether or not the teen has already had WooHoo.
➡️ 4 new Sentiments relating to the experience.
➡️ Now, if the teen has already heard some rumours from other teens, this is an opportunity where those rumours *might* be debunked. If the interaction goes well (especially with a high relationship between parent and teen), then the hidden 'Heard Misinformation' trait will be removed from the teen.
➡️ I've also added a new hidden 'Had WooHoo Talk' trait that is given after this discussion takes place.

Ask About WooHoo



This little interaction is available for teens and they can ask any other Teen, Young Adult, Adult or Elder. Again, it's a great addition and a nice touch but never really seemed to do anything, so I've tackled that.
My overhaul includes the following:

➡️ 17 new Moodlets for the asking Sim and the Sim being asked. Once again, the responses to this interaction will be dependent on the relationship between the two Sims, their mood, traits, whether or not the teen has heard rumours and whether or not the teen has already had a WooHoo talk.
➡️ 9 new notifications to show the response by the Sim who's been asked.
➡️ 1 New Sentiment
➡️ This interaction now provides another way of debunking rumours. If the asking Sim has heard a rumour and the target Sim has not, or is older, then there's a good chance they'll be able to debunk a rumour for the teen. This is especially likely if they've already had a successful WooHoo chat with their parents.

 Compatibility
➡️ If you have Lumpinou's LQBTQIA+ Mod installed, then your Asexual Sims will receive appropriate moodlets, akin to the Unflirty Sim.
➡️ This mod edits the following tuning files:
mixer_social_AskAboutWooHoo_targeted_Friendly_alwaysOn_teen
mixer_social_BoastAboutMessingAround_Targeted_Friendly_AlwaysOn_teen
mixer_social_GiveTheWooHooTalk_targeted_friendly_alwaysOn_teen
mixer_social_SpreadRumorsAboutWoohoo_Mischief_AlwaysOn_Teen
As such, it will conflict with any other mod that does the same.

 Technical Details
This mod is Base Game Compatible, although Parenthood is required to see the 'Boast About Messing Around' and 'Spread Rumours About WooHoo' interactions.

I hope you all have fun with these new responses. More interactions will be added to the mod in the future, so keep an eye out!
Please Note: The rumours in the notifications are, of course, rumours and are definitely false.

The mod is available in the following languages:
English (Me)
French (Kimikosoma)(Included)
Portuguese (Vólusims, Download Here)
Spanish (Laura, Download Here)(Chofis, Download Here)
