The Homebody Preferences mod by SimwithShan is a new Sims 4 mod that installs new preferences for sims that enjoy being at home.

The Sims 4 Homebody Mod: How To Use
The Homebody mod gives these additional preferences, or 'likes and dislikes' which you can assign to your sim:
- Instant Cameras
- Blankets
- Fall
- Video Chatting
- Coffee
- Letters
- Deep Cleaning
- Book Clubs
- Livestreaming
- Polaroids
- Lo-fi
- Cuddling
- Movies
- Studying
- Texting
- Candles
- Planners
- Baths
- Homebody
- Naps
- Snacks
Preferences will give certain buffs or moodlets depending on the actions your sim performs. This means if your sim actively does something they like or dislike they will get a moodlet for it. The sim's social needs can increase or decrease if the sim's preferences are ignored or nourished. The moodlets generally give a plus or minus one and so they rarely affect the overall moods it simply gives more detail to how your sim may be feeling at that time.
