I just got into modding my game, and am trying to make a teen-adult romance/woohoo mod as none of the ones i have found will work with a core mod I made. Problem is I can not seem to find the parameters I need to edit in order to make this mod happen I would like to do it as an addition to my core mod but I am not quite sure which dll I have to edit and what section of code I am looking for. I do have some programming experience but this is getting frustrating for me. I have spent 2 days analyzing the cl code of sims3gameplaysystems.dll and ui.dll and cant find what I am looking for. So i thought I would post this on here and see if anyone can help me, I know this mod has been done before, and I think I may just be overthinking this or overlooking something.

Thank you for any help you can offer

if it helps the only thing my core mod does is makes the IsSufficentlyrelatedtoruleoutromance method in the sims3gameplaysystems.dll default to false to allow romantic interactions between family members for a story line I am working on. I dont know if it makes any difference or not what the core mod does to get this mod working but i thought i should add this to my post as well just in case.

Twallan's Woohooer has options to allow teen-adult woohoo as well as near-relation woohoo.

As far as modding it goes, I believe he overrides it by removing the regular interaction from all sims and related objects and adding his own replacement. No core-modding is necessary for that (though it's probably not as simple as it sounds). And I think his mods work well together with core-mods if you need to keep your core-mod for other reasons.

The woohooer does conflict with my mod, I am not sure why but I had a feeling that it was some sort of seperate code to over ride the game's original code. the problem is I am not too fluent in cil, I am for the most part a vb programmer. I probably could go through the woohooer code and find how twallan did it, but it wouldnt feel much like I accomplished anything by using code from another mod, All I am trying to figure out is how I can get code I write to over ride system code. How i can get my code called instead of the systems code. I have been fighting with this mod for like a week now, and I am just at a loss. I started this mod because I can no longer find the extended tunable core engine mod or whatever it was called, that is what I used to use, it allowed for family romantic relations, turned off the age barrier and did a whole lot of other things.

I think most modders would agree that looking at another modder's code is the best way to learn

I took a look at the code for the woohooer and it seems like it is all his own code, nothing seems to be from the original packages for the game. I tried using search to find the method for teen-adult romance in the code for the original packages but no luck. Seems like the woohooer is a separate beast in itself. I am definitely not good enough ad understanding CIL code to create something like that yet. I have updated my mod to allow for polygamy but I still can not seem to crack the code for adult-teen romance. If it was not so important for my storyline I would just age the teen sims up to young adult and forget it all together lol. I just can not seem to figure out what I am missing here. I am starting to think that there is nothing in gameplay systems that does some sort of age check to prevent romantic interactions between different age groups. I know alot of this comes with time, i didnt expect to be an expert modder right away, but this mod is just driving me mad lol. I do appreciate everyone's help very much, I am going to keep plugging away, I will get it eventually. If anyone seems to know what I am missing here dont hesitate to reply or shoot me a private message to my inbox. I get on every day.

take a look at:

Sims3.Gameplay.Actors.Sim.CanHaveRomanceWith

you will find the "age check"

That is what i was looking for, ty vm, that was driving me absolutley insane

Ok So I changed that method to default to false for the age check aged my sims approprately in cas to get an adult and a teen and nothing, still no romantic interactions. Not quite sure what I did wrong.
