Download: Attachment Styles (A Gameplay Mod)

Base Game Compatible
XML Injector by SCUMBUMBO
So, I've recently been playing through the Lovestruck expansion pack, and was inspired to create a mini relationship mod that adds attachment styles to your Sims! This mod is base game compatible but requires the XML Injector by SCUMBUMBO.
This mod comes with four (4) traits that represent the four main attachment styles:
• Secure Attachment Style: Sims with a secure attachment style are confident and comfortable in their relationships. They form healthy, trusting bonds with others and are adept at balancing independence with intimacy.
• Anxious Attachment Style: Sims with an anxious attachment style crave closeness and reassurance. They often worry about their relationships and need frequent validation from others to feel secure.
• Avoidant Attachment Style: Sims with an avoidant attachment style value their independence and often feel uncomfortable with too much closeness. They may keep others at a distance to protect themselves from vulnerability.
• Disorganized Attachment Style: Sims with a disorganized attachment style display unpredictable behavior in relationships. They may fluctuate between seeking closeness and pushing others away, often due to past trauma or inconsistent caregiving
The traits are located underneath the Emotional Category in CAS (Create-A-Sim) and are only available for Young Adults-Elders. Also, Sims can only have ONE attachment style at a time.
Instructions:
In order for the Attachment Style pie menu to show up, you must have a decent friendship and romantic relationship with your partner. If it does not show up, continue to build up your relationship with that Sim! In order to access the menu, you'll need to click on the Sim you have the romantic relationship with. There you will find a few interactions based on your Sim's attachment style.
The Avoidant, Disorganized, and Anxious attachment styles also come with 1-2 self-interactions when you click on YOUR Sim. For these interactions, they will not need another Sim to complete.
NOTE: Be careful with some interactions. Your Sim may get very angry or very sad, which makes it easier for them to die of emotional deaths!
Custom Buffs:
I also added a few custom buffs to some of the interactions. Note that not ALL interactions will come with a buff. Also, some buffs may show up on the Actor Sim (The Sim performing the action) while other times it will show up on the Target Sim (The Sim receiving the action) Here are a few examples below:
There are also notifications that your Sim will get for a few of the interactions.
Disclaimer:
I understand that there is some nuance when it comes to making personality mods. I also understand that there is more to attachment styles than what this mod portrays. Though a complex topic, this mod simplifies it for gameplay purposes.
Ensure that you have read and understood my Terms of Use HERE.

hi. Will there be an automatic assignment of the type of attachment in the form of rewarded character traits?
Linda E.
I really looking forward to using these, as I have dabbled with the topic a lot in the last years (I was secure, leaning anxious and I befriended someone avoidant - not sure if dismissive or fearful). I worked a lot on myself and am re-typed more or less fully secure now. So my question is: Can Sims naturally re-type in game with these traits, maybe due to expirience? I know the game sometimes make non-commital sims more commital through self-discovery.

can sims get these styles autonomously?

this is so creative and amazing!

Hi! I love those, so significant, thank you! I have an idea, maybe you can add possessive attachment style

Just so you're aware, this is based on childhood attachment styles identified by psychologists, and there are indeed 4. It's referring to a very specific thing, not just relationships in general.

I wish it was for teens too

can this trait obtain from reward store?

Yessssssssssss

Hi, no hun its base game compatible.
LBoogie
Do I have to have the new expansion pack
elle.
Hi, it is updated and compatible.
EdgarAllanHoe
is this compatible with 1.107.151 or 1.107.112?
EdgarAllanHoe
It's really good as is, so I hope you don't feel pressured!

Sentiments don’t affect attachment styles, but an attachment style can affect sentiments. For example, if an avoidant Sim hurts their partner’s feelings, then the partner may get a hurt sentiment.
Perfect Cyan
Do sentiments affect attachment styles or is there no relation between the two systems?
dmitriy_podolny
great idea to create relationship styles. But I think this mod needs to be expanded and increase attachment styles. and add here such attachments as relationships for money, among other things. And dependent when one partner becomes dependent on his partner. unhealthy love when the ex-partner begins to pursue his other half and sort things out with her even after breaking up. There can be a huge variety of them, so I ask you to expand and improve the mod. don't chew it up. And don't stop at just these four styles.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Christine Main
Thank you so much xx
Liyah Matthew
do you need lovestuck pack to have this??
Stephanie
totally fine if not, but would it possible for an update for an option for them to be reward traits so you don't have to use one of your three traits?!
elle.
Thank you! 🤍

Thank you so much for your hard work! Once I start working I’m definitely subbing I enjoy your mods so much you’re so creative. Can’t wait to use this, thanks again!

I love it!

Hey hun, you have to set their attachment style in the trait section in CAS first. In terms of gameplay, they will autonomously do the interactions based on their attachment styles! 🤍
Stephanie
Does this work during gameplay, too? Like do they randomly get assigned a type of attachment or do you have to manually do it? This is amazing! Thank you! ❤️
elle.
Thank you! 😊

That’s great to hear, thank you hun! 🤍
