ALL - Mental Health
🕑 Added 2020-09-24 16:27:32 +0000 UTCThe main picture of this post describes perfectly how I feel right now. I tested this mod all day, solved a bunch of issues and got my girlfriend angry at me because sleeping so few like I did in these days is not good for my own mental health... so I'll be taking a break after this...
anyway...
THIS MOD REQUIRES THE XML INJECTOR AND ABILITY TO READ
To deal with the Gender Dysphoria included in this mod, you need Hormone Replacement Therapy
I think most of you know what this mod is about, at this point... but here we go again:
This Mod adds a Mental Health System into the game, Psychotherapy, Pharmacological Therapy and the possibility to get a Diagnosis.
There are 11 possible Disorders that can be diagnosed to your Sim:
ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline, Clinical Depression, Dependant Personality, Eating Disorder, Gender Dysphoria, Narcissistic Disorder, OCD, Schizoid.
And 2 not Chronic ones:
PTSD and General Depression
You can read more about them HERE
They are not meant to be a 100% accurate representation of real life disorders! They're more a generic, Sims version of them. There are too many variables depending on sigle individuals to represent something like this properly.
To get started, you can click on your Sim's phone and go to get a diagnosis:
Your Sim will be away for a while, and come back with a diagnosis based on their pre-existing personality. Many factors can impact the outcome, but it's still very much random, so it's pointless to list it all (for example, men should be more likely to get the narcissistic and schizoid outcome than women, like teen are more likely to have eating disorders).
You'll get an hidden trait, and the trait will impact your sim. Now, most of this relies on multipliers and mood modifiers, so unless you look at it closely, you'll not see this huge -10000 angry you can see in many other personality traits with the same purpose, but I still advice you to turn off emotional dead... 'cause Morty piled up enough anger to drop dead a couple of times in my testing. I didn't want to do something that relied on buffs and over-powered emotions, so most of it happens in the background.
Apart from the diagnosis system, this mod adds the possibility to buy general anxiolytic and antidepressants from the PC, that help dealing with stress and sadness. the medical system is mostly used with the diagnosis.
The psychotherapy, on the other hand, is useful for everyone.
You can go to a therapist from the phone or the PC. You can have family sessions and couple sessions. Therapy helps getting rid of negative emotions, helps with childhood phases (and, by the way, you can also encourage it... it increases conflict resolution)
Rises the relationship if done together and gives a random buff. (The one you get from the couple therapy affects your sims social behaviour for the time it's active).
Disorders can pile on each other if you ask more than a consult, and can be misdiagnosed. If you get Bipolar and go to diagnosis again chances are high that your diagnosis will change.
There is a cheat menu from where you can force an outcome (you still need to take the diagnosis, and it's not 100% a sure method) or directly add the trait you want:
To use it, enable testingcheats on and shift click on your Sim (there are other cheats if you have Tmex all cheats unlock, to trigger the symptoms and bipolar phases, but I suggest you to avoid using them). Via cheat it's also possible to remove the disorders.
Children can do everything in this mod, you need to send or bring them to therapy, they can get 3 diagnosis (schizoid, dependant, ADHD) and also take the prescription.
The prescription is only one for everyone, but the effect on the sims is different and based on the disorder they have.
Don't use anxiolytics when you don't need them... just an advice.
I Had fun making the Psychotherapy, so I also added... Support Groups!
They're way less effective than therapy, but they're free.
Friends in Griefs helps dealing with sadness and loss; New Steps helps dealing with gender Dysphoria but it's open to everyone, rises fun and social need, also helps with childhood phases; Addicted Anonymous doesn't actually help with addictions but helps dealing with symptoms like stress, anger and discomfort, also rises social need. P to P (Parent to Parent) reduces anger, stress, and increases parenting skills; Self Help deals with mental disorders;
...then, in the middle of doing this... Caleb spoke to my mind and told me that this was the perfect occasion to give him a place to vent, and since I always do mods for Morgyn, I decided to make him happy... so the last one is exclusive for Vampires who don't want to drink from sims (you can select non vampires but they'll not go, the good vampire perk is not required) the Vampires Support Group offers free packs... so yeah, going increases thirst and also reduces the decay rate for some hours, it also reduces eventual stress if your Vampire was unable to control themselves.
KNOWN ISSUE:
The Sim reset when drinking the medicines from sitting. I have no idea why, but I'll keep investigating (this happens also in the HRT mod)... doesn't happen when they're standing.

This one is not on curseforge. I also haven't checked it in a while so it might be outdated even if it has no overrides. Make sure you have the Xml injector for this one to show.
MandiMods_Sims4
I love the thought of having and using this mod. However, it's in my mods folder and isn't appearing in the game. I checked that it's not in the tray, which it isn't. I'm not sure what to do, and I'm really frustrated about it. Is there an English version of this mod on Curseforge? I've tried to download it from there, but they just have translations.

It's still working for me.

Is this mod still working?

I've read de whole description like 4 times but the Mental Health cheats thing doesn't appear for me when I shift click.
Lucy Miskova
i know it's written in the description but if you didn't read it and just don't understand i wrote it in the comment
Lucy Miskova
I thought it didn't work too but then I discovered it under the shift-click cheat
Lucy Miskova
Hey! Just in case you didn't know - you have to press Shift and click on the sim if you want to add a chronic disorder (you can find it there under - Mental Health Cheats-) :)

still not working

HI! I have a quick question. Is this mod updated so I can download and use it today? or should I hold off on adding it to my game?
Michael Jackson love!!!
How can I change the language of the mod?

Can you change the language of the mod?

I absolutely LOVE this mod, but I've had to remove it because it's causing a weird glitch wherein one sim displays the moodlets of another household member and the task queue sidebar disappears. :/
Geneve Andersson
I think I may have found a solution to your issue. I was having the same problem with one of my sims when they suddenly got insomnia while sleeping and became completely unplayable. What I did to solve the issue was: 1. Saved and exited the game 2. Removed the mental health mod from the mods folder 3. Restarted the game and opened the specific save 4. Saved and exited the game again 5. Put the mental health mod back into the mods folder Basically by resaving the game without the mod present it took away all of the sims' information related to said mod and got rid of the issue causing them to become unplayable in the first place. If you go back into the game they should be fixed and then you can just use cheats to add back whatever disorders they might've have. It's a slight inconvenience but it works.

Lovely mod! I had an issue though, and I think this mod was causing it. My sim diagnosed with depression got completely stuck to the point where debug couldn't even save him. Couldn't interact with anything, couldn't even cliclick on his icon. It happened when his sleep was interrupted by insomnia. I had to remove this mod in order to fix him. :(
Jordan
I'll look into it... I have to check this mod
Coline Saglier
Hi! Thanks for the wonderful mod! I'm having a trouble with the update: I can't find the new traits (autistic, schizophrenia...) when I'm searching Mental health cheat

Did you install the XML injector?
Jordi Marston
Hi there, I love the idea of this mod and downloaded it straight away, however it's not showing up at all and I did exactly what you said to do in your readme file..
Coline Saglier
I also tried to do a normal diagnosis, my Sim being self-absorbed, but the outcome is Clinical depression.
Coline Saglier
Hello, I'm sorry to bother you again. I think I'm having problem with the Narcissistic Disorder: the option doesn't show in the "Force diagnosis outcome" cheat menu, but instead there's two Clinical Depression. It doesn't appear in the "Add chronic disorder" menu either. I tried the two Clinical Depression options, but they trigger the depression symptoms. Could you please help me? Thank you a lot for your help and patience.
Zero_
The mod is complete, I plan no further updates
Zero_
No, it's intended. Manic phases are not so frequent
Coline Saglier
2) Do you plan on uploading the mod? I was wondering if you were interested in making autism available? It's no request, just curiosity. :) Thanks so much for all your hard work!
Coline Saglier
Thank you for the wonderful mod! It adds so much depth and content to my game, I'm ever grateful for it. I have two little questions: 1) I have a Sim with a bipolar disorder. I've played for days and he only has depressive phases. Is it a bug? It's the seventh in a row and I never had a manic phase...
Zero_
Works for me.

This is literally answered in the description.
Aelan Ryland
It stopped working for me too recently.
Aelan Ryland
The ability to read link no longer works and thus I can not download the required file.
TheItsmemaya
is there anyway to manually choose which disorder your sim gets diagnosed with? or is it always random

like it！

Hi! I’ve had this mod downloaded for over a month; it’s worked perfectly fine up until now. The uh. Menu isn’t showing up. None of the options for psychotherapy or buying treatments either. However, my sim still gets buffs from the mental illness and can take the prescribed medication still in her inventory. I’ve tried re-installing the mods, xml injector, I’ve deleted local cache, I’ve removed all mods except this one to see if it’s clashing. I feel so stupid for having to ask, but is there anything else I could possibly do to see if I can get it to work? Thank you!
Syrup1998
is this updated?
Zero_
May be the xml injector. Try updating it.
orangesodaaa
Hi! For some reason the UI menu isn't showing up in my game, I can still add traits via MCCC but the actual menu to decide the disorders is now gone. (Same problem with the "Force Breast Mod", not appearing in UI but can add in MCC) Do you have any idea on why this may be? Thank you!
Zero_
everything I didn't update is safe.
Christina Elizabeth
Hi! Is this mod safe for the new update?
Zero_
They both should unlock the treatment on the pc under the mental health menú
Rashad Currie
I got anxiety and Depression
Zero_
Not all the disorders unlock the pharmacological treatment, what diagnosis did you get?
Rashad Currie
When my sims get a diagnosis, I do not get the option for treatment on the pc. Am I doing something wrong?
Zero_
Probably doesn't meet the tests, since they're based on maxis personality traits.
Monna
It seems that the diagnosis does not work for sims with Basemental's ADHD trait. I only mention this as I saw you use Basemental here and there and you might want to know. I tested in a new save, the sim with the trait will go to diagnosis and after the visit ends (or even before that time) she comes back with no diagnosis, no pop-up message at all. Once I changed the trait to a normal one she got diagnosis on next appointment.
Zero_
All new tuning, shouldn't conflict with anything.
Ginger
Oh my, I def need this right now.I'm sad to say I have been having more suicidal ideations and through my Sims I get support and comfort. Thank you so much for this. Do you know if there are any known conflicts with any other mods? Thanks
Leila Beam
This is incredible! Great work! Thank you for all hard work. Now make sure you get some rest 😊 💜

I already got another translation in Russian for this one. I'm going to wait uploading translations for it because I have the feeling that there may be more strings to fix that I didn't notice.

Hi! I translated the mod into Russian. http://simfileshare.net/folder/111766/

Oh she's pretty chill and let me go wild, usually... That's the only reason we work... She's only angry because I slept like 2 hours per day in the last week. I'll try to rest a bit now.
Lina Armstrong
I appreciate you so much. Take care of yourself first and don't ignore your girlfriend :)
