Summary of Features
– Custody & visit system, for Sims who had a child together
– Splitting of funds, in case of permanent separations
– Amicable or non-amicable permanent separation
– optional child support system
Separating (Amicably or Not)
o Break-Ups and divorces can be attempted amicably. If one of the parties involved is against the divorce, it may still go sour, but there is a good chance that the amicable approach makes things easier for both sims involved. They can this way stay in good terms and have special interactions.
– In case of amicable separations, no bad sentiments will come.
Upon divorcing, the Sim asking for the separation will explain why.
You can either use a premade reason (most give moodlets, the rest give notifications), or write your own reason.
Custody Decisions
If the separation is AMICABLE: Sims discuss custody and the player will decide it. The interaction is ‘Discuss Custody’.
If the separations is NOT AMICABLE: sims will go to court and custody will be decided on factors such as income, housing, child’s preference, and a bit of chance. The interaction is ‘Go to Court for Custody’.
You can choose which to use, even if the separation type doesn’t match, so that if you want a specific outcome you can get it even if it’s unamicable.
NOTE 2: You can cancel custody arrangements (and then later re-do them or switch them). See under “Cheats and workaround” at the bottom of this page.
NOTE 3: Auto removal of custody: Once a child ages up to Young Adult, custody for them should be automatically removed. If Sims re-marry their ex, permanent separation and custody will also be removed.
NOTE 4: Custody availability: available to any Sim who have had a child together and don’t live together.
Custody Visits
Auto-schedule (“Shared Custody”)
- An automatic visit schedule: children switch household every 3 day.
- This system can be started in person or via calling on the phone. All children had together by thee two parents must go (one-off visits let you choose only some if you want).
One-off Timed Visits
- One, two, three, four or five-day visits, from which the children return automatically.
- This system can be started in person or via calling on the phone. You choose which children should go, as many siblings as you want so long as there’s available household spots in the other parent’s household.
- A Sim can also ask to end their children’s visit early.
- Other Sims may also send your Sim spontaneous text messages to request visits or ask to end visits early.
- There is a chance the other parent will refuse to initiate a visit. This chance is higher if the Sims separated unamicably.
- The sender parent can check on the children sent on visit.
General visits notes:
- When visiting another parent, children may be happy or annoyed (sometimes they just want to be ‘at home’) – annoyance being more likely for teens.
(Optional) Child Support System
- Weekly Child Support
- You choose the value
- Calculated based on Custody. Whomever has custody of most children gets child support for the difference.
- Example: A and B have 3 children. A has custody of 2, B of 1. B pays Child Support to A for 1 child (since A has custody of one more child of the couple’s than B).
- Child Support is automatically triggered by setting up custody if the setting is on. You can manually add it too under “Custody”
Cheats and Other Workarounds
- You can switch custody from one parent to the other for any child under ‘family and pregnancy’ then ‘custody’.
- You can remove custody arrangements for any child under ‘family and pregnancy’ then ‘custody’. (you can then re-do custody under ‘actions’ when clicking on the ex if you want).
- You can switch permanent separation mood (amicable or angry) by clicking on the ex, going under ‘actions’ then ‘RPO Special Actions’.
- You can remove a permanent separation by simply getting back together. You can also click on the ex, going under ‘actions’ then ‘RPO Special Actions’.
