Tempest Tuning by GCirelli

For any TS3 simmers who use NRaas Tempest and are unaware of this mod, I want to share one of my favorite game tweaks that I lost and just recently found again yesterday. Made by GCirelli at the NRaas site, this tuning file contains custom weather profiles for almost every EA world (minus a couple of the newer ones). The creator based these profiles on the climate in comparable real world locations, and every detail from the morning, noon, evening, and night temperature ranges to the chance of fog, hail, rain, snow and sun has been individually set to correspond with the average forecast for that real world place for each of the four seasons. So with just a couple of clicks in the NRaas Tempest menu, you can quickly and effortlessly have warm tropical sunshine in Sunlit Tides, gray foggy drizzle in Moonlight Falls, or dry desert heatwaves in Lucky Palms.

For anyone interested, you can download the tuning file HERE and the instructions on how to enable it HERE. As these are exported NRaas settings, the package needs to go in your Library folder, and I believe you will also need NRaas Overwatch to import it. If you have any trouble getting it to work, feel free to send me a message or an ask, and I will try my best to help. :)

These are the worlds that are included alongside the real life city that was used as a reference for it.

Disclaimer: I take absolutely no credit for this mod. I lost track of it a while ago and just found the download again, and I thought someone here might be interested in using it as well. Just to be 100% transparent, I found the link on this post, but I was unable to locate any more information about the mod. However, if you are GCirelli and you’d like me to remove this post, please let me know, and I will do so immediately! :)

Slower Friendship Mod V2.

This is an overhaul of my original “Slower Friendship Mod.” In the first version, I felt the values were a bit inconsistent, too tailored to my personal gameplay at the time, and somewhat unbalanced overall. In this version, I’ve streamlined things a bit better and have included various general improvements + additional features.

So, what does this mod actually do? In short, this is a tuning mod that makes it take longer to make friends in The Sims 3!

This mod slows down the rate at which Sims gain LTR (Long Term Relationship) points, and it also decreases the charisma bonuses so that friendships don’t form quite as quickly for charismatic sims.

This is especially useful if you play on longer lifespans, use NRaas Relativity to adjust how time passes in the game, or if you just want an extra challenge!

Changelog

March 30, 2025

Work tones are now affected by the mod. No more rapid best friends when working in rabbit holes!

Charisma bonus on LTR is now impacted.

The time required to become “Old Friends” or “Old Enemies” has been reverted to the default 14 days. The previous change felt too specific to my personal lifespan settings.

Social visit lengths have been restored to their default values, as modifying them felt arbitrary upon further review.

The mod now affects relationship decay.

The “Celebrity” achievement reward in charisma skill journal has been changed.

Slower Friendship Mod v.2 Details:

Flavors - There are 4 flavors available: 3x slower, 6x slower, 9x slower, and 12x slower.

LTR Gain - All positive social interactions yield 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x less LTR gain, depending on the flavor selected. This means gaining relationship with another sim will take longer.

LTR Loss - All negative interactions result in 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x less LTR loss, based on the chosen flavor.

Work Tones - LTR gains from work tones (hanging out with co-workers or sucking up to the boss while working in rabbit holes) are also reduced by 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x.

Charisma - Charisma gained through socializing has been cut in half across all flavors. I might change this later on if people feel like charisma is still too easy. (I also recommend using NRaas Relativity to change skill gain factors).

Relationship Decay - The minimum time before relationship decay begins (default: 48 hours) is now multiplied by 3, 6, 9, or 12, depending on the flavor. In other words, it takes longer for relationships to begin to decay, scaled to each flavor of the mod.

Charisma multiplier - The charisma multiplier applied to LTR gains during social interactions has been scaled down by 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x. This means that charismatic Sims should no longer experience such huge relationship jumps when socializing, so it should be more challenging to form relationships even with the charisma skill. They'll still have a bonus, it's just less drastic.

Skill journal - With the “Celebrity” charisma skill journal achievement, you only get a boost of 10 to LTR gain during social interactions instead of 25! Simply having a lot of acquaintances shouldn’t make you so instantly popular with everyone, in my personal opinion. Applies to all flavors.

Conflicts

This mod alters the following files and could conflict with other mods that also alter these files:

Charisma_0xa6403da8acb1faae

HangWithCoworkersTone_0x130fa34c077ce60c

SocialComponent_0xd23f83ef7f810490

Socializing

SuckUpToBossTone_0x5392ff23bc6a3464

TraitTuning_0xc4e3fd010a0b7db0

This mod does not alter relationship scoring, so it’s fine to use it with other mods that do (such as Retuned Attraction System). 😊

Installation

Choose one flavor and place it in your Mods > Packages folder. Only one flavor can be used at a time—do not install multiple versions simultaneously!

Be sure to follow standard mod installation practices:

Back up your save files before making changes

Use Delphy’s Dashboard to check for conflicts

Monitor your game for any issues after installation

Made on game version 1.69. Should be base game compatible.

Uninstalling

This is a tuning mod, so it’s safe to remove at any time if it’s not to your liking.

Credits

Thank you to @ratthew-sims3 for giving me feedback on the first version of the mod and helping me brainstorm so that I could make it better!

Let me know of any issues!

Please feel free to share any issues or feedback you encounter, especially if something doesn't work as expected or if there's something you feel could be improved. I am sure I'll do more tweaks at some point; I'm always playing around with this! Just shoot me an ask with any issues or questions. Thanks. :)

Did I ever post this? Idk. Anyway, I had to regenerate an entirely new ts3 folder and now my game is stuck on the forever saving screen. Either that or whenever I enter edit town it’ll just load forever 🙃 I have no idea how to fix this problem. I’ve removed mods and everything ughfjskkssn

Script

Jared Frio: I'm sorry, Connor... I couldn’t save her. It’s all my fault.

Jared's Father: You’re a murderer, Jared. You killed your own mother! It’s all your fault!

Jared: You’re suspending me? But that’s not fair! I didn’t start the fight!

Teacher: The other kids say that you did, Jared. They’re saying it’s your fault.

Jared's Father: Why did you make me do that, Jared? It's all your fault!

Claire: This relationship is over, Jared! And it’s your fault!

Echoing voices from the past: It’s all your fault…

It’s all your fault… Is all your fault…

It’s all my fault…

Thoughts/Notes

I actually thought about omitting this part because I don't want to scare anyone off. 😬

I will admit, this turned out to be a bit heavier/more dramatic than I intended. 😅 Sorry for the slightly darker themes than usual, but I felt like it was important to share a glimpse into Jared’s troubled backstory before going forward. He has a very deep sense of guilt and shame instilled within him that has tailed him most of his life as a result of his mother's death and his father's mistreatment of him (and it definitely plays a big role in his behavior).

Me: My blog is for ADULTS ONLY. My gameplay is soo GRITTY so WATCH OUT and don’t follow me if you’re WEAK and can't handle DRUGS, SEX, and MURDER. 😈

Also me: Can’t wait to play my Family Dinner Simulator tonight. 🥰Gonna have everyone sit down and eat grandma’s goopy carbonara together, then lots of cooing at the new baby in the family, maybe a lil sunset fishing trip with grandpa after making some flower arrangements.🥹💐
