Urn/Stone Overhaul v2.1.0  

Mod Description

With this mod, the following interactions are added or modified for the urns and tombs:

• The urn/stone can now be instantly destroyed through a new Destroy interaction without having to release the spirit first. The urns with a spirit are immediately destroyed without a confirmation question. Even when releasing the spirit without destroying the urn/stone, there is no longer a confirmation dialog. You know what you're doing!
• Even children (but not toddlers) can now release the spirits and destroy urns/stones. I don't know why EA didn't allow that.
• An empty urn and an urn with a ghost can now also be destroyed directly in the inventory without confirmation! Away with it!
• In addition, the two interactions (release spirit and destroy urn/stone) are no longer blocked if the grim reaper is still present at the lot. That was also blocked by EA.
• Upon releasing the ghost, the Sim will receive personalized buffs. From now on it's not just the two standard buffs "Sad +1" and "Happy +1". Now the palette is a little richer, namely: "Energized +1", "Fine 0", "Sad +1", "Sad +2" or "Sad +3", depending on the relationship between the sim and the ghost or some of the sim's traits. In addition, the duration and icons of the corresponding buffs have been optimized. A happy buff is not appropriate here.
• The option to add the ghost directly to the household has been removed again, since this is already possible via the standard ways in the game. I didn't want to overcrowd the pie menu.

Translations

The mod doesn't use its own strings, so no translation is required.
