This is a simple tuning mod that increases the rate at which parents develop authority over their children, which influences the acquired relationship bit upon aging up.
Technical stuff: what determines the relationship bit you get upon aging up is a unique relationship track that’s invisible. A relationship track does exactly what you think it does; it tracks your relationship with another Sim. Your friendship meter is an example, which also influences it, but as far as authority is concerned, it’s Authority_Default.
Each Parenthood interaction has loot attached to it (think of it as an outcome; a result). Interactions that have your Sim showing authority, such as punishing dependents, forcing them to do things, and yelling at them, have “Authority Gain” loots, which increases your relationship track by a certain amount.
By default, these amounts are ridiculously small. There are three potential loot actions, depending on the interaction: loot_FamilyRelBitAcquired_Authority_SmallGain, loot_FamilyRelBitAcquired_Authority_MediumGain, and loot_FamilyRelBitAcquired_Authority_LargeGain. A small gain is only 0.76, medium is 1.15, and large is 1.53.
So here’s how this mod works: it raises the amount of relationship gained in each loot. There are three versions and the changes are as follows:
Normal Version
Small: 1 point
Medium: 2 points
Large: 4 points
Fast Version
Small: 2 points
Medium: 4 points
Large: 6 points
GOTTA GO FAST Version
Small: 4 points
Medium: 6 points
Large: 10 points
You can only use one version!
