(Preview) Functional Handbag | Gameplay Mod
🕑 Added 2024-07-22 01:25:12 +0000 UTCHey everybody, I hope you are all fine and doing well. The mod is finally done, and I am super happy with how it turned out!
It has taken a lot of time, but I think that it was worth it, and I do think that it is my new favorite (I know that each time I make a new mod, I say it😂), but I am really proud of it and excited to share it with all of you,
So, where should we start? The mod is called Functional Handbag. It will be all about adding quality-of-life interactions to the bag that will help in youre sim's everyday life,
The bag is now Fully animated. Everything about it is animated: the zipper, the button pin, and everything has its own custom sound,
Get Ready Interactions:
Let's start with what you have seen in the preview videos: the "Get Ready" interaction that you can use on mirrors. This interaction will allow your sims to apply makeup and get ready to go out.
I want to clarify that the interaction won't make your sims wear any makeup. The in-game vanity lets you do that (and to be honest with you, I don't like it at all. The in-game makeup looks so bad), and even if I wanted to add custom makeup to it, it would always be way better to apply and chose youre makeup with cas, So I didn't think too much about it, and kept the mod focusing more on enhancing the gameplay and the outcomes of the interaction.
The get-ready Interactions can be played On all types of mirrors. It contains a lot of kinds of Makeup animations that may play randomly during the interaction for better immersion; each animation will have its own animated object that youre sim will pull directly from their Handbag.
To see the interactions, your sims should have a Designer bag in their inventory. Then, you will find a new pie menu in all the mirrors: Get Ready.
You can choose inside it the occasions that you want your sim to get ready for;
Each interaction will help your gameplay differently, depending on what you plan for your sim to do, and will have different outcomes.
Sims around you will also be affected, like your romantic partner may feel flirty, and others may receive a happy or confident buff and may be fascinated by how well-maintained your sim is
As in real life, getting ready will take some time, around 40 to 50 sim minutes. But the outcome will be rewarding for your sim and others around them,
Getting ready for a date will give you a +2 flirty buff for 5 hours; the interactions will help your sims have a successful date or even help single sims have a successful romantic encounter.
While the buff is still active, it will allow your sim to Build a romantic relationship faster than usual,
Getting ready for an event will give you a +2 Confidence buff for 5 hours. This interaction will help your sims to have successful encounters with other sims.
While the buff is still active, it will allow your sim to Build a Friendship relationship faster than usual,
Getting ready for your day will give you a +2 Happy buff for 5 hours. This is more of an everyday interaction; it won't help in building friendships or romantic relations,
but it will help with negative emotions. Negative Buffs won't affect your sims that much, and some of them will decay way faster,
It's quicker to apply. Your sim will be done getting ready much faster than the others.
While the "Get ready for date and event" are great for building relationships, "Get ready for the day" Will work great to build skills or tasks or just random chores in general,
"How do I look?" Interactions:
New romantic interactions will be available after getting ready. How do I look? It will only be available for sims that have more than 60 in romance,
I added this feature much later, so I didn't have much time to create a new animation for it, so I just used some in-game ones. I think that I have mixed two or three animations together to achieve the question, the compliments, and the reactions afterward.
This interaction may be played autonomously; it has some cute comments and flirty emotions for both the target and the actor,
Maintain Appearance:
There will be a "Maintain appearance" interaction after using the get-ready one. This one will be available directly in your bag, and your sim will only use the hand mirror instead of the big mirror, so it can be used anywhere you want. But you can't choose what occasion with it,
it will carry what you already Have Chosen with the mirror, and it will not be available unless you have used the get ready on the mirror one,
This one works as maintaining the makeup. Or a quick refresh: it has its own outcomes, and they will also carry the same benefits as the original ones, so it can help to extend the Buffs if youre sims haven't finished their date yet or the event isn't over,
so, if the buff runs out and you still want the same benefits, this interaction will come in handy since it's way quicker than the big ones,
Inside The Bag Interactions:
As I said in the beginning, this is a gameplay mod that will serve to help out youre sim in their everyday life while keeping it realistic enough to be more immersive and fun to use,
First off, there is a whole new pie menu Called "Inside the Bag" on the designer bag itself in your sim inventory.
It will have a lot of new interactions That will help significantly with your sim needs, but their uses are limited by time, so you cannot spam them. They will be missing after using them and will be available again after their buffs have run out,
Those are gameplay interactions that will help youre sim on their daily basis. Each new interaction will help to fill different needs:
All the interactions have Their own animations with their animated object and their own custom sounds,
Eat a snack, youre sim will eat a Protein bar/snack bar that will fill some of your hunger and will give your sim a happy buff,
It will also make your hunger need decay a little bit slower.
Chew Gum: Your sim will take a refreshed gum that will increase your oral hygiene (This is a hidden need that can be filled by brushing your teeth). It will also fill a little bit of your sim's General hygiene with some fun.
The interaction will give youre sim a confident buff and give other sims around you a positive buff.
It will also make your Fun need decay a little bit slower.
Drink water. It will fill your thirst (This is also a hidden need that can be filled by drinking water from the sink). It will give you an energetic buff and increase your energy needs a bit. So it can work great in a gym or while working out.
It will also make your energy need decay a little bit slower.
Spray perfume will increase your fun and hygiene, and it will also work as a deodorant for your sim, which will slow down the hygienic decay a bit.
It will also give youre sim a confident buff and give other sims around you a positive buff;
Hand sanitizer will also fill a hidden need for Hand hygiene (That can be filled by washing your hands at the sink). and It will increase your general hygiene and give you a happy buff,
It will also make your Hygiene decay a little bit slower.
Those interactions could come in handy in certain situations, like sometimes when you take youre sims out and forget to fill all their needs. Those interactions could truly help with that and let you play with what you wanted them to do, but they aren't that overpowered, so it doesn't feel like cheating!
The gum and the perfume are great for socialization since they give positive Buffs to the sims around them and can help your sims to have successful interactions!
All of the "Inside The Bag" interactions are limited to use by time. To do them again, you must wait until their buff has run out. so for some of them, it would be better To save them until you need them,
Maintain appearance interaction won't be available until you have played the get-ready one.
You should have the bag on youre sims inventory for most interactions of this mod.
If you are wearing a bag and played the get-ready interactions on the mirror, youre sim will automatically use it to apply the makeup.
If you have a lot of bags in your sim inventory and have played the get-ready interaction in the mirror, your sim will use the one that you are wearing. If they aren't wearing any one of them, they will choose one randomly.
This mod is BG-compatible.

I love your mods. However, Passionate Gifts is noted as a broken mod, especially according to MC Center and their bots, the mod has been broken for awhile. Is there any news to a update? I loved using this mod but it completely broke my game till I removed it.
CMT
THANK YOU!
UTOPYA_cc
To get the mod running properly, make sure you have the Passionate Gift version 0.3.3.
UTOPYA_cc
Hey, sorry for the late reply! The mod shouldn’t be broken unless there’s a conflict with other mods I’m unaware of. Could you let me know what exactly isn’t working?
Sattyn Kolka
I haven't been able to get it to work either. Last time I checked Scarlet's Realm it stated there was a tunning error and causing LE's.. I am going to be testing it again today.
Kiki Doll
Wait, is this broken? I never was able to get it to work correctly.
Sattyn Kolka
Have we heard anything on this update?
Charlene Byrd

Minxtastic
My sim was able to give the bag to his wife, but she has no options to get ready from the mirror and clicking the bag in the mirror only offers the option to wear it, nothing else.
Andrea Morway

Hi! Thank you for all your nice words. I am sorry for the late reply.

It is way faster for me to check it and answer them way quicker. I don't know what the issue is, so I will contact you Via messages to see how i can help you
UTOPYA_cc
Hi! I have double-checked again, and everything seems fine; The tunings are Fine. Nothing is conflicting so far, Can you tell me what is missing? It also may be another mod conflicting with them
Shekinah Owens

hi, i am subbed to that tier, if your talking bout the 0.3.3 i have that and o course the functional handbag file, also the xml im not sure how to use it in the game though, when i press the option to gift my sim a handbag it doesnt work.
Vinna DP
Hi! I already figured it out, You have to be subscribed to the $6.50 tier for you to unlock the functional handbag :) It's a different file you have to add with this. Mine is working fine since I upgraded and download the bag package.
🩷Queen🩷
not to sound rude , but can we get an answer on this?
Cassy98
I am enjoying this mod. I love the autonomy with interacting with the bag. My Sims one time after eating at a restaurant, took out the purse and went inside for some gum. It was so random and I loved it because people do eat gum to freshen their breath after eating.
Vinna DP
Hi! I just recently subscribed to your tier but I've always been a fan of your works! I was wondering what am I doing wrong, because I do not see the new pie interaction for the bag? Also, when it's on inventory I only have the option to wear it. Idk if it contradicts to anything? Any advice?
Maddawg
I am in awe with every single mod you release! You are amazing!
Deonne
Hi everyone, does anyone know if this mod can be placed in a sub folder or not?
cerulean_crayon

shawanap
Hello! I am having the same issue with all of the animations, and I have the newest version of the passionate gift mod.
BERN
You're amazing!
UTOPYA_cc
Hey, thank you, But did you update the Gift Mod to 0.3.1? I think that you have the old bag . So make sure to update it by removing the old (Passionate Gift) package and install the new one. you can find the link fr it in DOWNLOAD post
