About this mod

Empath Mods are great, but this is different. I searched and yet there were none that were a little more well-rounded or gave me a feeling of an experienced/well-lived Sim. So I created the Dark Empath Trait, where you're more in control of your emotions, more focused, more confident, and more likely to spot evil sims, with a lil' extra. Enjoy!

What's Included:
Trait in CAS/ Under Emotional:
Description - 'A Dark Empath is one form of an Empath, though they no longer express their compassionate empathy as impulsively as their kin. Experiences for this Sim have been rough, and lead their ability to evolve in a way that they are now in control of their empathy, unlike regular Empaths. This means, Dark Empath's have the ability to single out 'dark energies' and challenge them.'

Proximity Buffs
I made the majority of the Buffs proximity based based on the Dark Empath's ability to detect emotion - while an Empath would usually react compassionately and impulsively, this would make a Dark Empath focused/stressed etc depending on the type of emotion as they have already expressed the ability to control and understand their own and other Sims emotions.
Nearby Sad/Angry/Happy Sims Buff - Detects Emotion
Unfortunate Traits - Gloomy/Loner, Sad reaction due to being unable to remove trait.
