BG - Hormone Replacement Therapy
🕑 Added 2020-09-18 12:50:05 +0000 UTCThis is another mod that has been on my to-do list for a while.
As the title suggest, this mod gives your Sim the option to take HRT for transitioning or other story telling purposes. It adds 3 new items you can purchase on the Computer:
Tostran 2% Gel (Testosterone), EstradiolGel 0.1% Gel (Estrogen) and Anti-androgen Treatment
(there are various solutions for taking hormones, I chose to introduce only the gel ones for various reasons, one of them is that the shots are monthly and I don't know what lifespan/season length other people play)
To unlock the option to buy them, you need to visit a doctor to get the prescription:
Research Hormone Replacement Therapy on the web. Once done, the option to visit the Doctor will unlock on the phone:
- Making the research on the PC will also unlock the option to tell other sims about your sim's intention to start the therapy.
- Once the other sim knows, they can ask your sim about the therapy.
Your Sim will be away for a while
Once they got the prescription, you can purchase hormones from the PC under the "order" menu
Taking the Therapy:
To keep up with the therapy, you need to take hormones on a daily basis. The effect wears off in 24 hours. You'll not be able to take hormones twice a day.
___
The effects of the hormones are different between estrogens and testosterone (they actually vary from person to person, like I never experienced more sex drive, for example, but I went for a standard approach in this mod)
The effect of taking hormones is also different if the gender in CAS is set to female or male. Females taking Estrogens will not experience the moods effects, same is valid for males taking testosterone. The effects on the body will be the same but less intense, this means that:
1. The mod can effectively be used to play other conditions than transition, like menopause ad hypogonadism;
2. You can decide when your sim is done with the transition and can pass to the maintenance therapy, going on taking hormones all life if you want. Once you change the gender in CAS, it will mean that the transitioning phase is over and the body doesn't experience anymore the fight between the biological hormones and the therapy, so the mood will be stable.

FtM therapy:
You only need Testosterone.
Effects:
Immediate: gives a +1 energized buff and makes them more likely to exercise for a couple of hours
Increases muscle gain, increases fat loss, increases physical stamina, increases hunger, on an emotional level, makes your sim more irritable (anger will decrease slower and they will feel it a bit more) increases the sexual drive (flirty buffs) and all the energized buffs. Lasts 24 hours
Testosterone can give random angry, flirty or energized buffs;
ALSO testosterone should stop period if you have WW (needs testing)
MtF therapy:
You need both Estrogen and Anti-Androgen to have the full ride.
Estrogens:
Immediate: gives a +1 confident buff and makes them more likely to flirt for a couple of hours
Increases fat gain, decreases hunger, makes harder to build muscles, on an emotional level, makes the Sim generally more emotional. Lasts 24 hours.
Estrogen can give mood swings (Optional) - to add this, I would have had to replace a lot of tuning from Maxis. Since I didn't want to, I used a trick... the estrogen buff will add the uncontrolled emotions trait to your sim (unless they already have it, or have the controlled emotions one) and will remove it once it's removed. THE PROBLEM: this method will remove the trait also if the sim has it from aging up... you'll need to add it back manually at the end of the therapy. For this reason, this feature is optional (estrogen, though, gives moods swings on high doses like the ones for HRT, and I wanted this realism)
Anti Androgen:
Increases muscles loss
This is only for the transition phase, you'll still need to go in CAS and fix the gender options/sliders in case you want to... also, usually you need to take the therapy all life long, but in the game you can actually stop once you got the desired result, I chose to not cast this hassle on your sims.
You can use this mod to play other things too, like hypogonadism, 'cause I put no restrictions of genders on buying the hormones.

UPDATES:
09/23 Updated for Psychotherapy
Added: some interactions to the PC if you have the mental health mod and a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Your sim can now decide when they're done, and request a change of documents. Be ware that it's pricey, and requires time. Once they get it, tough, the trait Gender Dysphoria will be removed and cannot be added anymore.
___
Sims with a diagnosis or that made the therapy can also chat in dedicated chatrooms and research gender dysphoria.
>> Chatting and researching Gender Dysphoria will remove the permanent buffs for a while (they should come back if you go through a Loading Screen if your sim gender and clothing preference match) and will also slow down the random ones, in case your sim can't take the therapy for some reason, doing these things will help them cope with the dysphoria.
Sims should now keep up with the therapy autonomously if you have the autonomy on and the effect of the hormones is over.
The request of change of documents doesn't impact your ability to purchase hormones.

The up to date xml injector.
KC
is this mod still up to date? I added the mod and didn't see in the research options. Are there certain conditions that need to be met to see it?

The autonomy relies on maxis system, but I didn't push it too hard because I didn't want to make them obsessed with the stuff. I can increase it a bit, though, if they're skipping... Or make it rely on commodities.

Hello~ This mod is fucking magic and I'm really enjoying being able to add a bit of personal experience to my sim-life with these features. One detail that I don't want to relive via sims, though, is accidentally skipping dosage lmao~ I'm having trouble with the autonomy and I'm here to ask if you can specify what settings need to be adjusted to allow it? Autonomy is on via TS4 game settings and WW settings. My sim was able to autonomously dose only once that I noticed, but all times before then and all times after, I've had to manually command the action.

I don't use custom personality traits.

Hi, I have a suggestion. It would be great if this mod could interact with Marilynsim's gender dysphoria trait
Zero_
thanks for reporting. the interaction is a clone of that one, I may have forgot something (and also the string)

Hi! My sim is a celebrity and when he went to visit the psychiatrist for prescription, he received a celebrity cleanse and his fame perks were reset (along with 'clean state' moodlet...) I think there's something messed up with celebrity cleanse with this interaction...! (Actually when I hovered over the interaction inside the phone I saw the tooltip string for celebrity cleanse) I think this mod is so awesome but just wanted to report this bug! Thanks, for this mod, and for all your other mods :) They're really taking a big part in my gameplay!

Solved 4 days ago.

I'm experiencing a conflict with this mod. The "Gender Transition" string is overriding the "University" Pie Menu and I can't figure out why
Kristofer
This is amazing! I really love the attention to detail you've put in. Also, "Your sim can now decide when they're done, and request a change of documents. Be ware that it's pricey, and requires time." Don't I know it...
Zero_
thanks... I tried to remove some states, see if it's fixed now.
Sis
So I found that an option to empty dirty dishes from inventory appears, and actually throws away the meds.
Zero_
Thanks! I'll add both the translations I have so far in the next update
trail_of_blood
Hi! I translated the mod into Russian. http://simfileshare.net/folder/111076/

You need both files.
Aelan Ryland
Its not working for me. I installed the XML injector, and the optional mood swings package. Yet, the option to research on the computer is not showing up. Trying the regular version now to see if it will work.
Zero_
I think you need to take less than for transitioning (like hypogonadism vs transitioning FtM, the gel is the same in that case too but the dose is inferior for biological males) so applying the gel maybe once every two days can recreate a therapy for menopause.
Kristel
Oh really? Thanks, I didn’t know that!
Zero_
Can be for that too! The gel used is exactly the same.
Kristel
When I got the short notification on my watch with just the title, I thought it was for menopause! Laughing at myself now.
Jennifer M
I can finally put realistic versions of my brother and my friends in my game. This is f*cking AMAZING! THANK YOU!!!!
Zero_
I did the Gel too.

I'm a trans man who uses gel - thanks for this!
Gina Eaves
As someone whose partner is Trans, I really appreciate this level of inclusivity! 💜💜💜
Annika Anderson
😯 I love this inclusivity! I feel I could use this for nefarious purposes as well ... 😈
