This is an overhaul of my original “Slower Friendship Mod.” In the first version, I felt the values were a bit inconsistent, too tailored to my personal gameplay at the time, and somewhat unbalanced overall. In this version, I’ve streamlined things a bit better and have included various general improvements + additional features.
This mod slows down the rate at which Sims gain LTR (Long Term Relationship) points, and it also decreases the charisma bonuses so that friendships don’t form quite as quickly for charismatic sims.
This is especially useful if you play on longer lifespans, use NRaas Relativity to adjust how time passes in the game, or if you just want an extra challenge!

Work tones are now affected by the mod. No more rapid best friends when working in rabbit holes!
Charisma bonus on LTR is now impacted.
The time required to become “Old Friends” or “Old Enemies” has been reverted to the default 14 days. The previous change felt too specific to my personal lifespan settings.
Social visit lengths have been restored to their default values, as modifying them felt arbitrary upon further review.
The mod now affects relationship decay.
The “Celebrity” achievement reward in charisma skill journal has been changed.
Flavors - There are 4 flavors available: 3x slower, 6x slower, 9x slower, and 12x slower.
LTR Gain - All positive social interactions yield 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x less LTR gain, depending on the flavor selected. This means gaining relationship with another sim will take longer.
LTR Loss - All negative interactions result in 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x less LTR loss, based on the chosen flavor.
Work Tones - LTR gains from work tones (hanging out with co-workers or sucking up to the boss while working in rabbit holes) are also reduced by 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x.
Charisma - Charisma gained through socializing has been cut in half across all flavors. I might change this later on if people feel like charisma is still too easy. (I also recommend using NRaas Relativity to change skill gain factors).
Relationship Decay - The minimum time before relationship decay begins (default: 48 hours) is now multiplied by 3, 6, 9, or 12, depending on the flavor. In other words, it takes longer for relationships to begin to decay, scaled to each flavor of the mod.
Charisma multiplier - The charisma multiplier applied to LTR gains during social interactions has been scaled down by 3x, 6x, 9x, or 12x. This means that charismatic Sims should no longer experience such huge relationship jumps when socializing, so it should be more challenging to form relationships even with the charisma skill. They'll still have a bonus, it's just less drastic.
Skill journal - With the “Celebrity” charisma skill journal achievement, you only get a boost of 10 to LTR gain during social interactions instead of 25! Simply having a lot of acquaintances shouldn’t make you so instantly popular with everyone, in my personal opinion. Applies to all flavors.
This mod alters the following files and could conflict with other mods that also alter these files:
Charisma_0xa6403da8acb1faae
HangWithCoworkersTone_0x130fa34c077ce60c

This mod does not alter relationship scoring, so it’s fine to use it with other mods that do (such as Retuned Attraction System). 😊
Choose one flavor and place it in your Mods > Packages folder. Only one flavor can be used at a time—do not install multiple versions simultaneously!
Be sure to follow standard mod installation practices:
Back up your save files before making changes
Use Delphy’s Dashboard to check for conflicts
Monitor your game for any issues after installation
Made on game version 1.69. Should be base game compatible.
This is a tuning mod, so it’s safe to remove at any time if it’s not to your liking.
Thank you to @ratthew-sims3 for giving me feedback on the first version of the mod and helping me brainstorm so that I could make it better!
Please feel free to share any issues or feedback you encounter, especially if something doesn't work as expected or if there's something you feel could be improved. I am sure I'll do more tweaks at some point; I'm always playing around with this! Just shoot me an ask with any issues or questions. Thanks. :)

⚠️My sims are very slider/cc-heavy and may look different in your game depending on what sliders you have installed and what defaults you're using!!⚠️
Please don't re-upload and claim as your own blah blah blah, but otherwise do whatever you want with them! You can use them as is, or you can use them as base sims and edit them to your heart's content. Feel free to tag me if you put them in your game, but it's not required!

Sage showed up to Coachella like the main character in a desert fantasy
All black, all drama, fishnets and lace catching the wind like she was casting spells with every step. People were turning heads, whispering, "who is that?" and honestly… same. Even the sun backed off a little when she walked by. She didn’t come for the attention — just the music, the energy, and maybe to dance barefoot under the moon later. But somehow she still ended up looking like she owned the place. No costume, no cosplay. Just Sage being Sage. Witchy, wild, and 100% in her element.

Hey everyone, I hate to do this but maybe you can help me a bit. My female cat needs an exam to check her heart, but it's too expensive for us, so I thought about doing a fundraising/donations thing, maybe it helps a bit, even if it's just 1$.
Story: my female cat Luna was born on the streets and was a stray till she was 1 year old, when we adopted her. At home we noticed that her breathing was a bit fast, we thought it could be first time at home excitement though (she purred for two days straight 😊). The vet examined her and said she couldn't detect anything and said to keep an eye on her and call if she coughed like cat asthma videos (luckily she never did that). She gets more tired than my male cat when playing. One time in a hot day she started panting when playing, I stopped playing immediately and tried to calm her (I thought it was cause it was too hot and maybe I pushed her too much, maybe she doesn't know when to stop playing if it's too much). Ever since, I take breaks when playing with her, so she doesn't get tired. But she only does like two jumps and she lays down breathing fast, she wants to keep playing, but I don't let her till she rests a bit. My male cat plays for so long running around like crazy, so compared to him, I get even more worried. So we went to the vet again and said the fast breathing never stopped, and she even breathes fast when she's resting/sleeping. The vet said the breathing was a bit fast and should've calmed down by now (she's at home for 1 year). She prescribed anti-inflammatory and allergy pills, but it did nothing. So she suggested to check her heart with an exam, because heart problems affect the breathing. We need 150€ for now and we can't afford that, I've been postponing this since last year, but I'm terrified that something could be wrong with her heart and something bad will happen to her 😢 I really hope there's nothing wrong and maybe the exam is a waste of money, but if there's something in her heart, she needs to start medication as soon as possible. If anyone can help, I would be much appreciated 💜 anything is appreciated really 🙏 Thank you for reading.
I leave the links below, in case you can help this way. And a picture of my baby Luna 💜

Madison: Are you all right? I came as quickly as I could! Oh my god, I can’t believe you were shot!
Madison: I was so pissed at you because I thought you were blowing me off again. I’m so sorry— Jared: It’s okay. I’m fine, Madison, I’m fine!
*Door shuts quietly. Muffled voices coming from inside the room*
Frida: *heavy sigh*
Frida: Xander? What are you doing here?
Xander: Shit, I must’ve fallen asleep. I just wanted to make sure you were all right. And Jared?
Frida: Yes, we’re both okay. How long have you been here? You look like shit.
Xander: You look like shit too, doofus. C’mon, let me take you home. I’ll make you chocolate chip pancakes, yeah?
Frida: You, cook? I don’t think so, Clavell. Last time you burned the shit out of them. Xander: You’re still holding that against me after all this time?
*phone rings*
Frida: Cornelia? Sorry, I know you’ve been trying to call. My phone was dead, and I’ve just had the worst night…
Cornelia: Where the hell have you been? I’ve been trying to reach you all day and all night! Frida: I’m really not in the mood for a lecture right now, Cornelia—
Cornelia: Frida, I don’t know how to tell you this… Gunther’s missing. No one has seen him since the wedding. And Erik Darling’s death? As of a few hours ago, it’s now officially being investigated as a homicide.
Frida: WHAT? Cornelia: Frida, I think… I think something terrible has happened to your brother.
