This is a pack of mods that make insects sensitive to weather and environment, and make some insect-related interactions more reasonable.

Updates
1 Sep 2021: Fixed a bug that allowed insects inside to be affected by weather. Fixed a bug that prevented roaches from spawning inside during unfavorable weather. Please redownload simNopke-insectsSanity-core and simNopke-insectsSanity-roaches.
4 Jul 2021: Added lessApparition versions of simNopke-insectsSanity-bugsHunting and simNopke-insectsSanity-butterAndFireflies compatible with BartekStu's Less Apparition.
1 Jun 2020: Fixed a bug that prevented residents of dormitories from catching bugs, butter- and fireflies. Please redownload simNopke-insectsSanity-bugsHunting and simNopke-insectsSanity-butterAndFireflies.
Conditions
Terms and symbols used later in the description.
Weather conditions:
  • W: it's winter,
  • T0: the temperature is below 0*,
  • T1: the temperature is below -15*,
  • P0: it's snowing, hailing, or raining on the insects,
  • P1: it's snowing, hailing, or heavily or torrentially raining on the insects,
  • A0: there's any precipitation accumulation under the insects,
  • A1: there's snow accumulation under the insects.
Autonomous hunting conditions:
  • Sim is on a hobby lot, a non-business community lot, or on a lot they live on,
  • in case they're a vampire, it's night or insects are in a closed room.
* In the game, 0 is the most comfortable temperature for Sims, -30 is the temperature of thaw.

Core mod
The main file containing a global function that checks weather conditions. Every other mod from this bunch requires this mod.

Bugs hunting mod
  • makes Sims unable to hunt bugs when their bug collection is complete, or when at least one of the following weather conditions is met: W, T1, P0, A0;
  • allows Sims to hunt bugs autonomously only when all of the autonomous hunting conditions are met and their nature enthusiasm is at least 6 points or their predistinated hobby is nature, in addition to the previously mentioned conditions;
  • fixes the icon of the autonomous hunting interaction, it was binoculars originally;
  • makes the interaction chased by bees not clear the interaction queue of a Sim who's been hunting bugs.
Requires the core mod, Seasons and FreeTime.
Additionally, I highly recommend Bug Collection Fix by Cyjon to be able to catch every bug.

Use the ordinary version of the mod unless instructions in the conflicts section say otherwise.
Use only one version at a time.

Butter- and fireflies mod
  • makes butter- and fireflies not appear or fly away when at least one of the following weather conditions is met: W, T0 (for butterflies) or T1 (for fireflies), P0, A0;
  • allows butter- and fireflies to fly away after interacting with them: 25% chance after chasing or failing to catch them, 100% chance after successful catching;
  • makes the lifespan of butter- and fireflies swarm random: from 1 to 5 hours. Originally, their lifespan was always 4 hours;
  • allows Sims to catch butter- and fireflies autonomously only when all of the autonomous hunting conditions are met, and when they're children or have at least 8 points of playfulness;
  • makes Sims' willingness to catch butter- and fireflies increase with their enthusiasm for nature.
Requires the core mod and Seasons.
You can change the chances and the lifespan by editing the behavior constant from this file in SimPe.
Additionally, I recommend my No Jars Leaving mod to prevent unselectable Sims from leaving jars with butter- and fireflies on lots.

Use the ordinary version of the mod unless instructions in the conflicts section say otherwise.
Use only one version at a time.

Butter- and fireflies spawning mod
  • prevents butter- and fireflies from spawning when at least one of the following weather conditions is met: W, T0 (for butterflies) or T1 (for fireflies), P0, A0;
  • allows up to 5 swarms of butter- or fireflies to be on a lot at the same time, there could be only one swarm originally;
  • makes the probability of spawning (once an hour) a swarm of butter- or fireflies depend not only on the current season but also on the plants outside, and on the number of currently flying swarms:
    • The base probabilities of spawning butterflies are: 15% in Spring, 10% in Summer, 0% in Fall; of spawning fireflies: 10% in Spring, 15% in Summer, 0% in Fall. The original chances were 20% – 10% – 5% for butterflies, and 10% – 20% – 5% for fireflies.
    • Every swarm of butter- or fireflies on the lot decreases the probability by 6 percent points.
    • The probability is increased by 5 p.p. if there is at least one tree, shrub, or alive flowerbed on the lot.
    • Every shrub outside increases the probability by 2 p.p., every tree – by 1 p.p., every blooming flowerbed – by 3 p.p., every not-blooming but alive flowerbed – by 1 p.p.
Requires the core mod and Seasons.
You can change the chances by editing the behavior constants from this file in SimPe.

Hiking mod
  • makes Sims being on a hike unable to catch bugs or be chased by bees when at least one of the following weather conditions is met: W, T1, P0, A0.
Requires the core mod, Seasons and FreeTime.

Ladybugs mod
  • allows ladybugs (from a ladybug house named Lovely LadyBug Loft) to fly only between 7 AM and 7 PM;
  • prevents ladybugs from flying when at least one of the following weather conditions is met: W, T0, P0, A1.
Requires the core mod and Seasons.

Roaches mod
  • makes roaches outside die when at least one of the following weather conditions is met: T1, P1, A1;
  • prevents roaches from spawning (e.g. under a pile of trash) outside under the above conditions;
  • makes dead roaches under deep snow disappear just like leaves do.
Requires the core mod and Seasons.

Conflicts

Bugs huntingAnti Fly Catching by PescadoMy mod must load after Pescado's mod.The features of Pescado's mod related to bug hunting will be replaced with features of my mod. In case you also use the butter- and fireflies mod and a mod changing autonomy of birdwatching (eg. Sensible Birdwatching), Anti Fly Catching becomes useless.

Hates The Outdoors – No Auto Bug Hunt, a part of Random Assortment of Trait Mods by DeeDeeDon't use it with my mod.

Mods from this bunch do not conflict with any default replacement textures of insects. They're also unlikely to conflict with mods that change chances of catching insects.
