Political World Mod

Love the mod so far, but I just can't find "Research politics" anywhere on my computer. The only related thing I saw was political rants upon reaching lvl 3 of influence skill, but I'm not able to progress my aspiration further

Came here to second the comment about the mod being a bit intense in terms of buffs sometimes. I absolutely love this mod, as it adds a lot of unique flavor and personality to Sims, but I do really wish there was a way to tone down the buffs. If a sim is very into politics, for example when they want to become a politician themselves or when they are active protesters etc, then I would understand it if they have buffs about their political alignment all the time. But most of my Sims aren't that much into politics. Some of them, for example, might be more active when the election comed around, and then there's the ones who have a basic idea of their alignment.. but that's about it for them.

I would love it if we could perhaps even specify per sim just how much they are affected by their alignment. So a sim that is very affected will have buffs very often, a sim that is normally affected will have them every so often and very unaffected would rarely have the buffs. I guess permanently affected and never affected would also be valid options to add as well. I mean being a politician means you're affected by politics pretty much all the time, right? So they could have the buffs on literally all the time. And the never affected Sims would only be prompted for a buff if someone else brought it up, but never just by themselves. 

Plus it would be great if we could actively switch between the strength levels of the buffs too, just likes with the alignments themselves, as interests can fluctuate over time. Most of my teens won't be as interested in politics, but as soon as they age it suddenly becomes more relevant to them. Right now I have teens stressed over bills when they don't even have to pay anything as they are living with (young) adult / elder Sims and that feels a little odd 😅

I hope it makes sense what I'm trying to say! It's not meant as criticism, I just wanted to throw some ideas out there 😄 All in all a great and highly recommended mod that I can't imagine not having in my game now! Thank you for creating this and keep up the good work 👏

Hi - I like this mod a lot, because it does add a lot of realism to be able to discuss political topics, have certain lot types, and be uncomfortable or more comfortable around people of a similar political alignment. But I'm curious if there's any possibility to make it less intense? The political gurus are *always* at the bars, no matter what (is it possible to play without the political guru file at all?). My Sims are also just constantly suspicious of Illuminati members and I don't know how to make a Sim no longer a member of the Illuminati. And maybe just reducing how often they have moodlets about their political ideology? (I love the moodlets based on their conversations with other Sims, but if they are *always* feeling energized because of being a socialist or happy because of not  being politically engaged, it's a bit too much)

Hello this is a wonderful mod but unsure where to download this mod?

I really like the concept of this mod but I know I wouldn't be able to stand using it given that there are real politicians included in it. If you're taking suggestions, I'd like to suggest an option to turn off the inclusion of real politicians and instead replace the gurus with fictional sims.

Edit: Just noticed that you stated in a reply below that this is already planned!! Looking forward to trying out this mod once that update is released.

Love this mod! 

Is there a way to reduce the the possibilty that that npc get the Illuminati Member Trait? For me it seems that anybody around me is a member. My sim live in a dorm right now and every roomate is a member Oo 

Been playing around with this mod for a bit, must say I really love how in depth it is. I do have a few suggestions if you are open to them.

1. Add an Apolitical/Unaffliated option, for sims who are either unsure on where they align or don't care for politics.

2. I see prefrences only have a left, right and center option, prehaps you could also include "Political Opinions" as a way to add in some more nuance behind a sim's beliefs, such as a Progressive sim who is also supportive of Firearms or a more Conservative sim who is more open to the LGBT+. Opinions could be tied to specific topics, specific sims or specific actions which would also affect a sim's mood and prehaps choosing a prefrence that is normally contradictory to whatecer the alignment normally has it as, the prefrence takes priorty.

3. I personally don't have any issues with the Gurus being based off actual people, but I imagine some people might not like that so much, and although it would be easy to manually change everyone, I would suggest a version that has all Gurus be original characters instead.

I was just wondering why "Technocrat" appears to have a Guru, but can't be chosen as a political view.

Hello :) I just installed your mod and my sim who has his own tattoo studio drew the trait that he doesn't want to work under someone and is fed up with it, so does the mod version include the latest Businesses and Hobbies expansion? Because there is a huge contradiction between who my sim is and has his own small business and the political views drawn.

What exactly is the difference between the two versions?

I'm having an issue trying to change my sims' alignments - the "assign political trait" button doesn't pop up when I click on my sim. I have the other necessary mods (Injector script, injection tool, and the zerbu requirements. 

I am going to try this mod. This is funny. 
I seen another mod/trait that had these as the parties 
''Simdipendent, Plumbobicans, Llamacrat''

I would say trump is an oligarch who is an asset of putin (nationalist).
