Zero/BFM - MBTI Personalities
🕑 Added 2022-02-02 11:03:32 +0000 UTCI've been working on this with Bloodfiremage in the past few days and I'm finally ready to release it (there is still a missing look up personality interaction to add, it will be updated in the next few days).
First thing: this mod was created with version 1.80.69.1030 of the game, as I dropped out patches in November, but it's been tested by Bloodfiremage on the most recent patch.
THIS MOD REQUIRES THE XML INJECTOR
What's inside the mod?
Obviously, the 16 personalities of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
These personalities are meant to sit in the background of the standard 3 personality traits from Maxis default to differentiate Sims a bit more.
They influence skill gain, a bit of autonomy, careers progresses, moods and especially, relationships. Sims will be more likely to gravitate around other Sims with a compatible personality and will get a relationship boost from being around Sims with compatible personalities.
The skill gain boost isn't huge, and every personality has its specific set of skills where they excel, they also have a set of skills where they struggle (for example INFP gains creative skills faster but struggles with logic, and so on)
A Sim under stress will go in grip, showing some aspects of the opposite personality type (example ENTP/ISFJ) and will struggle with the skills they're usually best at.
How to get started
Head to the PC, you'll find a new category under WEB
Or from your Sim's phone under ENTERTAINMENT:
Taking the Personality Test will give your Sims a random profile based on their traits:
It will also unlock the MBTI Typing Skill:
Levelling up this skill will unlock some interactions, and allow you to attempt to type (or re-type) other Sims like NPCs:
The profile will be assigned at random based on personality traits. On highest level, the skill will allow you to pick a specific profile for NPCs and for your Sims without relying on the random test:
There is no limit on how many times you can retake the test and change MBTI profile for your Sim or for NPCs!
If you don't want to bother with the skill: my testing cheats are still inside the mod, enable testingcheats on and shift click on sims to give, change or remove the MBTI profile.
NPCs:
Npc sims can and will autonomously take the test. Once they took it, they'll not take it again unless you remove all MBTI personalities with the cheat. You can change the profile they got with the cheats or MBTI Typing Skill.
Notice that some personalities like INFJ are rarer to get than others regardless of traits.

UPDATED 01:
- Added the interaction to look up informations about the different profiles.
- Changed the way the test works to hopefully be more accurate on the first try. Since the new method testes the function separately, the result of the standard test is decided before you even try to take the test, and it will always be the same. In case you're not happy with the result, the old testing method (that was working quite nicely already) is still inside the mod, take the Alternative Test to try and get a different profile to the one the Standard Test gives you.
UPDATED 02:
Made Personalities types more meaningful for social interactions!
This is something I really wanted to do, now different personalities types will interact with each other differently. First of all, you can now see the compatibility with another Sim in the profile panel:
There are 5 possible matches and will affect how fast you can build a relationship with them and also how fast said relationship will decay as follow:
Ideal Match -> Friendship and Romance both decay slower
Kindred Match -> Friendship and Romance both decay slower
Complementary Match -> Friendship decays slower, Romance decays faster
Challenging Match -> Friendship and Romance both decay faster
Polar Match -> Friendship decays faster, Romance decays slower
Here is a chart of the compatibility between personality types:
ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD: GOOGLE DRIVE
FIXED:
Sims getting duplicated compatibilities when you manually change the profile. The existing compatibilities will now be removed!
I was notified about this problem on discord. Also added a cheat to manually remove all the existing compatibilities if you already have them duplicated, it will remove all the existing ones, but don't worry, they'll get back the correct ones for their new personality profile upon interacting with the other sim again!
