I was trying to look into this, but I have no experience with python so I think this is beyond my knowledge base for now. Anywho, I play in the medieval time period alot and was wondering if it was possible to make a courting mod where the relationship status of 'boyfriend/girlfriend' is changed to courting, 'ask to be boyfriend/girlfriend' is changed to 'ask to court', and maybe if possible to have a sim have to ask the parents for permission to court their daughter/son before having the option to show up in the romance interactions. Not sure if that part is possible though.

When I'm playing a historical game, anachronistic text also annoys me, and this was pretty quick to fix, so here you go: www.simfileshare.net/download/2408288/The changes are limited to the strings (text) you mentioned above, and a couple others around that interaction that seemed in line with what you were looking for. For example, there's an option to "nervously ask to be boyfriend/girlfriend." The full list of changes is below the spoiler cut. {Spoiler}Old: Get a boyfriend or girlfriend within a week to complete this Resolution.
New: Begin courting within a week to complete this Resolution
Old: [M1.Boyfriend][F1.Girlfriend]
New: [M1.Courting][F1.Courting]
Old: Nervously Ask to Be Boyfriend
New: Nervously Ask to Court
Old: Ask to Be Boyfriend
New: Ask to Court
Old: Become Boyfriend of [1.SimFirstName]
New: Begin Courting [1.SimFirstName]
Old: Nervously Ask to Be Girlfriend
New: Nervously Ask to Court
Old: Ask to Be Girlfriend
New: Ask to Court
Old: Become Girlfriend of [1.SimFirstName]
New: Begin Courting [1.SimFirstName]
Old: Have a Boyfriend or Girlfriend
New: Court Someone
Old: After performing Romantic socials with another Sim, click on them and select Ask to Be Boyfriend or Girlfriend from the Romantic category.
New: After performing Romantic socials with another Sim, click on them and select Ask to Court from the Romantic category.
Old: Have had [1.Number] Boyfriends or Girlfriends
New: Have had [1.Number] of Courtships
Old: [1.SimFirstName] just became the [M1.boyfriend][F1.girlfriend] of [0.SimFirstName].
New: [1.SimFirstName] has begun courting [0.SimFirstName].
Old: Click on a Sim and select Ask to Be Boyfriend or Girlfriend from the Romantic category.
New: Click on a Sim and select Ask to Court from the Romantic category. As a fair warning, it doesn't cover literally every instance of "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" appearing in the game. There's some random ones that don't easily fit into what you've described above (e.g., the Sim text message/notification that reads: "I heard you and {1.SimFirstName} started dating! Congratulations on landing a new {M1.boyfriend}{F1.girlfriend}!"). And while the title of file reads "Dating to Courting," I didn't edit any date-related strings, of which there are many. For what it's worth, editing in-game text is actually fairly simple and requires nothing more than S4S---I have no experience with python, either. Here's a step-by-step guide by Scarlet if it's something you're interested in learning more about. I think the second part of your request (asking the parents for permission to court) should be possible through Mod Constructor, and I'll take a look to see if I can do it.
Edited to add: Also, if I read this post too literally and you were actually looking for a collab, as opposed to a quick fix, apologies for the misreading.

OMG, thank you so much waitingforsappho! I had just spoke to someone else who said they would try and include it in a mod they are working on, but this is just awesome! There are a few other things I want to change for editing the in-game text, but I'll try and look at it and see if I can do it myself since you said it is fairly simple.  Once again, thank you so much! |
