Hi guys, I need help. I need to add an action to the Household category on phone, how should I do it? I found files named "Household.Tuning" and "Household.SimData". How should I change them to add my own action?   |

Those are the pie menus you see in game. You need to clone an existing household phone interaction instead, make it into a custom tuning file, then use XML Injector or create your own injector script to add it to the phone menu. If what I'm saying doesn't make sense, here are some beginner resources that should help, one being how to make a custom file, and then Zer0's tutorials go over making interactions (though social interactions). TuningScarlet's Beginner tutorials (starting on page 2): www.simsvip.com/category/the-sims-4/how-to-create-a-mod/page/2/Zer0's tutorials (for beginners and beginning intermediate): www.patreon.com/posts/tutorials-35031545How to Start a Custom Tuning File: www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-start-38023976And then you need the TDESCs and TDESC Browser as it helps you understand how files are built and what each thing does. TDESCs (make sure to build your folder right, it's TDESC Folder > Subfolder for each patch TDESC): www.forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/976578/1-63-133-tdescs#latestTDESC Browser (when referencing the folder in your settings do the main TDESC Folder): www.modthesims.info/download.php?&t=618199XML Extractor if you want to update mods before S4S updates, and XML File Finder to see connections/references between each file without having to manually search for them modthesims.info/d/563256/xml-extractor-for-the-sims-4.htmlTuning Error Notifier is to help you make sure you don’t make mistakes. scumbumbomods.com/tuning-error-notifier/There are tools that handle injecting for you for common areas, so you don’t need to focus on scripting until the time is right. This includes: XML Injector: (interactions, loots, buffs to traits, reward traits, name objects, object relationships, states): scumbumbomods.com/xml-injector/Injection Tools: brainblasted.itch.io/injection-toolsAndrew’s Crafting Enabler: sims4studio.com/post/72754Mod Constructor: (not an injector, except where needed, but can be used to make interactions, buffs, traits, careers, aspirations, events, and a few others): zerbu.tumblr.com/post/181782526135/the-sims-4-mod-constructor-v4And a couple of misc others for specific areas, like Trait Tracker Injector. ScriptingWhen you are ready for Sims 4 scripting, know that there are very little tutorials and no documentation, so you have to learn through a lot of trial and error. You will need to learn Python, which is well documented and has plenty of tutorials, but it won’t help too much with Sims 4’s data. Beginner's Guide to Python: wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuideGetting Started with Sims 4 Python Scripting: sims4studio.com/thread/15145/started-python-scriptingTuning Inspector, which helps you figure out injection paths: modthesims.info/d/642704/tuning-inspector.html |
