Ask Category & Menu Cleanup

Ask Category & Menu Cleanup

16k Downloads

This collection of mods aims to group similar interactions together in appropriate sub-categories, and generally improve the social interaction menus by making them less cluttered. This should make it easier to find the interactions you are looking for, without needing to cycle through many pages of "More Choices...". 


Ask Category

With this mod installed, you'll find a new social category called "Ask..." marked with a question mark speech bubble. Use this menu for any social interaction where some new information or other tangible reward is given to you. Small talk options like "Ask about Day" and "Ask to Stargaze" have been left alone, however.

Interactions moved into the Ask category include the following:

  • Ask about Hobbies
  • Ask about Favorite Color
  • Ask about Taste in Music
  • Ask about Taste in Decor
  • Ask about Career
  • Ask if Single
  • Ask about StrangerVille
  • Ask if Mermaid
  • Ask about Major
  • Ask to be Flower Spreader
  • Ask to be Ring Bearer
  • Ask to be Officiant

Small Talk Addon

The Small Talk addon is for interactions with "Ask" in the name, but are generally treated as normal Friendly interactions which don't actually offer any information to the player. This includes the following interactions:

  • Ask About Love Life
  • Ask About Day
  • Ask Risque Question
  • Ask for Massage
  • Ask for Gardening Advice
  • Ask for Repair Advice
  • Ask to Stargaze
  • Ask About Being Old
  • Ask About Favorite Author
  • Ask About Food
  • Ask About School

Vampires Addon

(Requires Vampires)

The Vampires addon reorganizes Vampire-oriented social interactions and computer interactions into relevant categories. 

Purchase interactions for vampire tomes, plasma packs, and plasma fruit seeds on the computer are now sorted into the "Order..." category.

"Search for Information on Vampires" is now found in the "Web... > Research..." subcategory. 

The following social interactions have been moved out of the "Friendly" and "Mean" categories into the "Vampire" category:

  • Ask to Turn
  • Offer to Turn
  • Offer to Cure Vampirism
  • Throw Vampire Cure
  • Vampiric Duel
  • Slay Vampire
  • Vampiric Spar
  • Ask About Vampire History

The following social interactions have been removed from the menu entirely and will only be performed autonomously:

  • Praise Vampire Lifestyle
  • Debate Existence of Vampires
  • Enthuse About Vampires
  • Confess Fear of Vampires

Village Errands Addon

(Requires Cottage Living)

The Village Errands addon puts ALL social interactions related to the Cottage Living townie quests into their own category so you don't have to fish around in the Friendly category.

This includes:

  • Offer Help With Errands
  • Eavesdrop on Gossip
  • All delivery interactions
  • All "Report Back To..." interactions

Languages Included
