Petty Exes PT-BR
Breakups in The Sims 4 usually end with a sad moodlet and a few awkward encounters. Petty Exes PT-BR changes that by turning your Sim's romantic baggage into a full-blown drama generator. This add-on introduces a chain of petty interactions that lets your Sim poke an old flame, wait for the comeback, and then decide whether to apologize or double down. It is a small mod with a big personality, and it fits perfectly into the chaotic storytelling that Sims players love.
What Petty Exes PT-BR Actually Does
The core of the mod is the petty voicemail. From your Sim's cellphone, open the Social Menu and you will find a new interaction that lets your Sim leave a deliberately snarky voice message for an ex. The ex does not let it slide. They respond with a message of their own, equally petty and often hilarious, and your Sim receives a notification asking whether they feel bad about what they said.
That single question branches the story in two directions:
- If your Sim regrets it, a new apology interaction becomes available.
- The ex can accept the apology or reject it, and the outcome is not guaranteed.
- When the apology lands well, the ex may want to rekindle the relationship.
- At that point, the choice is yours: get back together or walk away for good.
This loop turns a forgotten ex into an active character in your save file. Instead of fading into the background, they call back, they hold grudges, and they sometimes want a second chance.
Requirements and Compatibility
What You Need Before Installing
Petty Exes PT-BR is a translation package paired with the original mod, so you need both files for everything to work in Portuguese. The mod also depends on two external libraries: Lot 51 Core Library and Lumpinous Mood Pack. Install those first, or the interactions will not appear in your game.
The add-on is built for The Sims 4 and works with current patch versions as long as the required libraries are updated. If you play with a heavily modded folder, keep Lot 51 Core Library and Lumpinous Mood Pack at the top of your load order to avoid conflicts with other script mods. The original mod is created by Lumi and distributed through Patreon and Curse Forge.
How to Install Petty Exes PT-BR
Installation is straightforward once the dependencies are in place:
- Download the original mod and the PT-BR translation files.
- Extract both archives using a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
- Place the .package and .ts4script files in your Mods folder.
- Delete the localthumbcache.package file from your Sims 4 directory.
- Enable script mods and custom content in Game Options, then restart the game.
If you are wondering how to install without hunting down each dependency manually, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole chain for you. It keeps Petty Exes PT-BR and its required libraries in one catalog, so a single click installs the mod, the translation, and every supporting file in the correct order. The launcher also pushes automatic updates whenever Lumi or the library authors release a new version, which means you never have to worry about a patch breaking your petty voicemail drama.
Why It Fits Brazilian Simmers So Well
The PT-BR translation goes beyond swapping words. The petty voicemail lines and the ex's comeback responses carry the tone Brazilian players expect from a good novelinha: sharp, dramatic, and just the right amount of ridiculous. The humor lands because the dialogue sounds like something a real ex would actually say, not a stiff machine translation.
For players who enjoy rotational saves, this mod adds real consequences to relationships that would otherwise stay frozen. An ex you broke up with three generations ago can suddenly call back and demand closure, and your Sim has to decide whether to give it.
Final Thoughts
Petty Exes PT-BR is a compact add-on that punches well above its size. It gives The Sims 4 players a reason to revisit old relationships, adds meaningful player choice through the apology system, and does it all with dialogue that feels natural in Portuguese. Just remember the two library requirements, keep your mods updated, and let the petty voicemails fly. Whether your Sim patches things up or makes them worse, the story is always more interesting than a quiet breakup.
