Adult Life: a Sims 4 Mod for WooHoo Drive, Styles, Roles, Preferences & Discussions (2024)

* Woohoo drive: (OPTIONAL via Setting)

* First of all, note that WooHoo drive can be enabled or disabled in settings globally. Secondly, if it is enabled globally, you can still disable it for specific Sims also.

Each individual sim can have a different level of woohoo drive.

NOTE: On WOOHOO DRIVE FLUCTUATIONS:
* There is a baseline for each sim but then circ*mstances and actions influence it in actual effect (which manifests as the effective metric, which is what ‘counts’ for the actual sim’s drive, but is still connected and relative to the baseline).
* Age, mood, fertility cycles and hormonal elements impact effective WooHoo Drive.

WooHoo drive affects how often Sims have the desire to WooHoo, and whether they accept or refuse when propositioned (you will always know if a Sim refuses due to WooHoo drive, as they say so in a notification).

A hidden motive is part of it, which moves at different speeds depending on the sim’s WooHoo drive.

If a Sim who has WooHoo drive does not WooHoo for a length of time (the exact length depending on their drive and other factors), they can get lustful, which pushes their autonomy towards asking for WooHoo (and makes them less discriminating about who they would ask to, also).

In a relationship, if Sims have balanced wooHoo drives, they are satisfied to see that their propositions are rarely rejected and get a relevant moodlet.

However, in case of unbalanced drives between partners, it is the opposite. Sims can get frustrated.

Especially when a Sim is at a ‘it’s been a long time without’ stage, being rejected when knowing that drives don’t match in the relationship and that there have been rejections before can cause serious frustration to a Sim.

Such a Sim or their partner might decide to offer to open up the relationship or engage in Expanded WooHoo (if you have the ‘Expanded WooHoo (RPO M18) Mod), via reactions that become available directly in the aftermath of a rejection, with related wording.

Sims can also complain / enthuse about the state of their woohoo life, when relevant (drives in balance or not, many rejections have happened, etc).

Sims who wish to increase their WooHoo drive can take supplements. It is left to your interpretation of the supplements or (stuff to balance hormones, or food supplements, or both).

[NOTE: there is a grammatical person shift on the screenshot below, which has been fixed since!]

Not necessarily realistic, but supplements can also be used to decrease drive, just because I figured some of you might like that for storytelling.

Sims can ask each other about WooHoo drive, so they can know what’s what before getting in a serious relationship. There is no right or wrong, it’s just a matter of finding someone who is in balance with them.

Sims can also increase / decrease their drive and / or satisfaction in relationships by engaging in “self woohoo” or watching WooTube (from RPO M18 ‘Expanded WooHoo’). Reactions to those actions depend on whether a Sim is Open about WooHoo Life or Shy about WooHoo Life.

* WooHoo Roles:
Insertive, Receptive, Either, Neither – Select or Discover via Gameplay

If they have none, the Sim is considered up for anything / without preference.

You can select manually, randomize°, or discover through gameplay via the “Exploring / Not sure yet” option. More on this in the ‘Exploring’ section below.

° When randomizing roles, results take into account orientation and gender and use different chances accordingly. For example, a heterosexual fem Sim is more likely to be given ‘receptive’ by the randomization than a heterosexual masc Sim.

You decide whether or not roles and preferences should impact acceptance and refusal of WooHoo, via a global setting.

If a Sim refuses WooHoo because of incompatible WooHoo roles, you will always know because they will say so in a notification.

If the setting for Roles to impact Woohoo acceptance is ON, Sims with conflicting roles can agree to do typed of Woohoo that would not involve such matters – for one time, or for all times they Woohoo (can be reversed anytime of course).

WooHoo roles are also useful when browsing the WookUp app, as they appear listed in profiles to help your Sim decide who to meet up with.

* WooHoo Styles & Preferences: (‘kinks‘) – Select or Discover via gameplay

Sims can choose their own WooHoo Style, and the Styles they want in an ideal partner. If they have none, the Sim is considered without preference.

Styles and preferences also impact WooHoo satisfaction. If preferences are mismatched, negative moodlets will result from WooHoo, with notes about it – and vice-versa.

You can manually select, randomize, or discover through gameplay via the “Exploring / Not sure yet” option. More on this in the ‘Exploring’ section below.

Sims can discuss styles with each other, and react based on both Sims’ preferences.

Specif Woohoo styles can also unlock additional romantic interactions and reactions (moodlets).
This can be individual, or depending on both Sims’ preferences.
For example, Sims who form a Dominant / Submissive duo have extra interactions with each other.

Here is an example of an extra interaction for ‘Romantic & Tender’ Sims.

* “Exploring“: how Sims can discover WooHoo Roles & Styles via experiences

Sims can choose ‘Exploring’ for either or all of the following: WooHoo Styles, WooHoo Roles, WooHoo Style Preferences.

When a Sim is Exploring, they may acquire new characteristics when WooHooing with other Sims if they are having a good time.

What they may discover is always relative to the other Sim’s roles, styles and preferences: the discovery is contextual to what actually ‘happened’ during their WooHoo.

For example, Sim A sleeps with Sim B. Sim A is exploring style preferences. Sim B has ‘Wild & Hot’ style. Sim A had such a great time with Sim B, that they discover they like ‘Wild & Hot’ partners.

* Shy or Open about WooHoo Life: different comfort levels, different reactions

Sims who are Shy about Woohoo Life get embarrassed reactions to some Woohoo-related conversations and actions (such as self-Woohoo), and refuse to answer in detail to questions about their Woohoo preferences.

Sims who are Open about Woohoo Life react positively to Woohoo conversations.

Sims who are neither generally react like a sim who is Open, but won’t get some moodlets that are reserved for Open or Shy Sims.

* WooHoo location preferences

Sims can have a preferred Woohoo location, and a special moodlet when they are doing it in said location.

The list of course depends on what packs you have installed!

* Other Extra Aspects: anti-kissing, WooHoo Trauma Survivor, etc

‘No embracing or holding hands‘ is an aspect for Sims who are touch-averse or aren’t into that kind of interaction. They don’t perform them and reject them when others try.

‘No kissing‘ is an aspect for Sims who don’t want to kiss or be kissed. It blocks off these interactions and these Sims also reject kisses from others.

‘Celibate‘ is an aspect for Sims who decide to not engage in Woohoo. They reject propositions.

‘Woohoo Trauma Survivor‘ is a storytelling aspect. Sims with this aspect find it extra important to use their agency and ability to refuse Woohoo, and decline a bit more often than Sims without such an aspect. They also may experience occasional dissociation at Woohoo.
