What is Smarter Self-Care?

Smarter Self-Care is a mod created by Chingyu Mods that allows your household Sims and NPCs to take better care of their needs and hobbies before getting uncomfortable from their motives going too low. This means that your Sims will be more proactive in fulfilling their hunger, energy, hygiene, fun, social, and other needs, as well as engaging in activities that match their personality, skills, and aspirations.

Moreover, the mod works with other mods by Chingyu, such as Balanced Life and Less Obsession, and supports various game resources, such as Baby Care, Bladder, Chat, Energy, Gardening, Hobby, Horse, Hygiene, Less Risky Woohoo, Mermaid, NPC Care, Pet, Plant Sim, Spellcaster, Toddler and Infant Care, Vampire, Werewolf and Wild Fox. 🦊
