UPDATE Feb 7 2025:

Hi everyone! I'm still working on this mod here and there, and I believe I've fixed some of the instantiation issues (for example, the mod not showing up when sims first spawn in the world). I am currently trying to figure out how to get a different animation for the talk loop (it is currently still using the insane trait talk loop), but for all intents and purposes, the mod is now working! Please let me know if you run into any issues when using it because I want to see if I can fix them myself.

If anyone has interests in taking and editing this mod for themselves, please feel free to do so and credit me (and link me so I can check out your improved version! I have a lot to learn in the modding sphere, so it would be lovely to see how people take this.)

Anyway, I've updated the file for y'all to try! Have fun!

Hello everyone!

I hope I'm doing this right; after much pain and frustration, I have FINALLY created a mod that I have sought after myself for so long: a script mod that allows ALL sims to "Talk to Self" to fulfill their social needs. (Meaning, it is no longer locked behind the "Insane" trait).

It is the first time I've ever modded something, and I don't really know much about it still. However, I'm very happy because I was able to get it working in my game, and I'd love to know if it works well for other people, because I want to share it with others who may have been looking for the same thing.

Thank you in advance!

This is just what I need for one of my sims. I'll be happy to test it for you, I actually prefer having the Insane trait's animations for the interaction for my personal storytelling. :D

EDIT: Working fine. I'd recommend setting this one as non-autonomous, as I saw townies chatting with themselves all over the place all the time. But otherwise I'm really enjoying this mod.
