Muscle Worship 2.6 [Businesses and Hobbies Update]
Added 2025-05-12 17:25:19 +0000 UTCAdded Two Business Activities "Flex Your Muscles" and "Appreciate Muscle." These also function as club activites.
Updated all Flexing and worship Interactions to be compatible with Club system from Get Together and the Small Business System from Business and Hobbies. Specifically updated permissions for each interaction so they are available when the respective Activities are chosen, and added monetization to Flexing Interactions performed by Business Employees.
Added a "Synthesize Steroids" interaction to the Chemistry Lab from Get To Work. This can be unlocked by learning the "Ox Strenth" Serum. This can be used synthesize steroids from Basemental's Drugs mod.
Reworked how NPC sims's get classified as Muscle Gainers or Muscle Worshippers, and cut back significantly on the generation of massive NPC Bodybuilders, in order to allow for more organic growth through gameplay. NPC sims that reach 30 Fitness automatically gain the "Muscle Gainer" trait and begin accumulating muscle growth rather than growing immediately from working out (how vanilla Sims 4 Fitness works) or randomly being given assigned sizes based on traits and careers (how this mod used to work). Any previous muscle growth value gets added to their fitness value whenever they are spawned in to account for growth done off screen. The Worked Till Failure buff no longer requires muscle recovery activities for the accumulated growth to start applying, however it does cause the commodity to decay significantly slower rest and recovery is still recommended for player sims to reap the benefits of their work. (If you use Roburky's fitness limit extender and you want to see npc's getting big, be sure to turn off the setting that prevents NPC fitness changes.)
Add discovery moments for sims to become gainers and worshippers through gameplay. (I think I added the gainer one a while back but the worshipper one is new this round.)
Added a Bodybuilding Show Venue lot trait has bodybuilding shows on the weekends for the player to attend as an audience member. This will allow your gainer sim to meet muscle worshippers and fellow gainers for the completion of some of the work from home tasks for the fitness model career.
Added an Optional Override Add-On which makes the work out business activity available for Employees, and adds the "Practice Posing in the Mirror" interaction as well as the excercises from Cepzid's Let's Get Fit Mod Pack to the list of interactions the activity encourages.
Created a Give Posing Feedback interaction to allow mentoring of Posing Sims.
Updated the "Begin Posing" Interaction so that NPC competetitors at a Body Building Show don't start flexing until you do and instead engage in prep activities as well.
Fixed an issue in which Gold was impossible to achieve even with the ISBB Pro Trait. The intended mechanic was for it to be impossible to achieve gold in your sims first bodybuilding show, and for having the Pro trait (achieved by receiving Silver) to unlock the potential for Gold. In order for this to work performance score points rewarded from poses were reduced significantly, and the score is now more directly tied to a sims fitness and fat values. The Pro trait now doubles the rate at which the performance score increases, allowing you to more easily achieve Gold as a pro.
This has an added bonus of allowing Pro sims to earn more money from flexing business activities as these use the same performance score.
2.6a
Made compatibility adjustments for upcoming Chastity mod patch.
Fixed an issue where an errant reference to the Gay Archetypes mod prevented worshippers from interacting with other sims. (The two are meant to be compatible with one another but not require one another.)
Made some adjustments to Bodybuilding Shows to improve performance.
Comments
Any bonus insight on getting the Chemistry Lab to show the steroid option? I have the ox serum but dont see it.

2025-06-03 05:53:04 +0000 UTCSo to have the sim participate they need to plan it through the calendar. They need to have the gainer trait for it to appear. Iโll look into why itโs not appearing with the lot trait.

2025-05-23 20:06:32 +0000 UTCI've been running into an issue where I can't have a sim sign up for a bodybuilding show or that even if there is a venue with the bodybuilding show venue lot trait, the event hasn't been appearing or going through. Are there any prerequisites to have the event happen or for a sim to sign up for the event?
