This script tweak addresses a common complaint about The Sims 4: relationships between Sims decaying too fast. It gives players direct control over how quickly friendships and romances fade over time.
There are two versions to choose from. One completely stops relationship decay, meaning Sims will stay as close as they were no matter how long they go without interacting. The other lets you set a custom percentage for both friendship and romance decay, so you can slow it down, speed it up, or leave it at the game's normal rate.
It's a good fit for players who find Sims drifting apart too quickly, want more control over social gameplay pacing, or simply want relationships to behave differently than the default game design.
