Note: I do not recommend the main module of this mod for low computer specs (the two other modules are just fine). If in doubt, just try out to see if it slows down your game considerably.

Complete overhaul of (almost) everything wrong with conversations in TS4.

clean pie menu: Fixes pie menu oversights after the pie menu recategorization and also tunes down the frequence of some interactions that tend to clutter up your pie menu. Each interaction has its own file. Don't forget to delete the files/folders for packs you do not own, otherwise you'll end up with blank text strings. I expecially recommend preferencecategorytweak as that one adds pie menu icons for hobby and activity interactions so that they are easier to be found.

Sims will also be more sensible in autonomously taking care of their baby's needs.

Mod for rotational playstyle: When you have two teenagers who are either significant others or promised to each other, they will now be able to do some romance interactions when one of them ages up to young adult. Note: The kissing and make out animations are a little off (see picture), so there are addon packages to disable these for your teen-young adult couples.

Enhances the chances of Sims actually eating their sack lunch at work. Whenever a Sim eats during work/school, household funds will be reduced by 12 Simoleons.
The separate mod package "TakeItEasy" let's your Sim's motives (esp. hunger and bladder) go up when they choose this at work action. It is thus a workaround for when you don't stay at home while some of your Sims are at work/school. By default, they will not be able to take care of any of their need while you're away from your home lot.

The anyplayedsim module is specifically designed for players which play rotationally and want their played Sims to stay among themselves, but do not want to have to scroll for ages to find their Sims in the menu of the invite_any_sim Mod linked above.
