Every setting

Click any sim → BQ Night Visitor → Configuration. Every change saves by itself.

This page lists everything. If you only want to get the mod running, Turning it on is the short version.

Actions

Not settings — buttons. They do something the moment you click them.

Button	What it does
Spawn Night Visitor NOW	One appears on this lot immediately, ignoring the clock and the odds.
Spawn DUAL Night Visitors NOW	Two of them, same sex, against the same target.
Cancel current event	Stops whatever is running. Your escape hatch when something gets stuck.
Manage VN candidates	Pick which sims in your save can be Night Visitors. Click a sim to toggle the trait.
My predator stats	Level, XP and unlocks for the active sim.
Smirk creepily	A small XP gain. Needs the trait.
My cravings…	The cravings menu. Needs the Victim trait.

Spawn & Target

Who appears, when, and who they go after.

Setting	Default	What it does
Auto-spawn master switch	OFF	Nothing spawns on its own until this is ON. This is the switch.
Enable home spawn	ON	Visits to residential lots.
Home spawn chance	100%	Per night. Drop it if every single night is too much — it goes down to 1%.
Male VN preference	90%	How often the visitor is male.
Strict gender filter	OFF	ON means: if there is no candidate of the preferred sex, nothing spawns instead of falling back to the other one.
Homosexual attacks	OFF	Off means male → female, female → male, always.
Homosexual attack chance	20%	Only matters with the switch above ON.
Dual VN auto-spawn (pair)	OFF	Two visitors instead of one, on their own.
Dual VN spawn chance	30%	How often an auto-spawn becomes a pair.
Watcher idle distance (m)	3	How close the second one waits during the fight.
Peeper turns Night Visitor	—	A sim caught peeping through a window can escalate into a break-in.
Peeper break-in chance	—	The odds of that escalation.
Peeper watch time	—	How long they have to watch first.
Allow teens as victims	OFF	See the warning below.
Allow teens as Night Visitors	OFF	Same.

Teens

Both teen switches are off by default and you have to turn them on deliberately. If you do, WickedWhims still decides whether a scene runs — if its own teen settings say no, the animation simply never plays. That is WickedWhims’ call, not this mod’s.

Children, toddlers, infants and pets are never valid, and no setting changes that.

Public Spawn

A separate system with its own switch, for parks, bars and clubs. Turning on the main auto-spawn does not turn this on.

It behaves differently from home visits: several events per visit, it can target sims who are not yours, and it prefers a victim who is on their own.

Setting	Default	What it does
Enable public venue spawn	OFF	The switch for this whole section.
Public spawn chance	50%	Checked every 30 sim minutes while you are out.
Public cooldown (h)	2	Sim hours between events at the same venue.
Spawn at any time of day	OFF	Off means 19:00–08:00 only.
Target NPC sims too	ON	Off restricts it to sims you play.
Only attack isolated victims	ON	Nobody nearby, or it does not happen.
Isolation radius (m)	8	How much empty space counts as alone.
Max target distance (m)	50	Candidates further than this are skipped. 0 removes the limit.
Sex spot privacy radius (m)	15	No other sim may be this close to the spot when the scene starts.
Parks / Lounges / Bars / Nightclubs	ON	Which venue types are in play.
Gyms / Pools / Libraries / Cafes	OFF	The quieter ones, off by default.

Combat

Setting	Default	What it does
Fight winner rule	Fitness + bonus	Four modes: fitness with a bonus, a fixed chance, the visitor always wins, the victim always wins.
VN fitness bonus	+2	How much of a head start the visitor gets. Goes from −5 to +10.
VN win chance (fixed)	60%	Only used by the fixed chance mode.

Note

Some situations skip the fight entirely and go straight to the scene — a sleeping victim, a pregnant sim, or a victim who has learned to surrender. That is not a bug.

Trauma

Setting	Default	What it does
Suspicion buff chance	40%	How often the victim ends up suspecting something happened.

Victim

Setting	Default	What it does
Enable Victim system	ON	The whole victim arc: trait, skill, phases, buffs.
Attacks to grant Victim trait	3	How many it takes.
Attack window (sim days)	3	Within how long. Three attacks spread over two weeks do not count.
Auto-surrender at level 9+	ON	At the end of the arc she stops fighting on her own.
NPC surrender chance (lvl 5-8)	75%	For victims you do not play — they get no dialog, so this decides for them.
Crying during WW	ON	The master switch for the tears.
Crying sound	ON	Just the audio.
Crying VFX (tears effect)	ON	Just the visible tears.
Room Tour (change spot during WW)	OFF	Moves the scene around the room between animations. Off by default: it can reach into other mods’ scenes.
Debug Victim data	—	Lists every registered victim and lets you clean one up, or all of them.

Marks

Two lists, and who reacts to them. Covered in full in Marks.

Row	What it does
⭐ Mark a favourite victim	The chosen sim’s own Night Visitor starts preferring her.
⭐ Current marks	Who is marked, and how to release them.
🛡 Protect a sim	Nobody ever touches them.
🛡 Remove protection	Undoes the above.
👁 Stalking by the marked victim’s Night Visitor	Whether he shows up to watch on his own.
⚔ Attack by the marked victim’s Night Visitor	Whether he attacks on his own.

WickedWhims

Row	What it does
♂ Male NV animation list	Which of your WickedWhims playlists a male visitor uses.
♀ Female NV animation list	The same for a female one.

These read the playlists you already made in WickedWhims. If you have none, the row says so and the mod picks animations the normal way.

Advanced

Reset to defaults — everything back to how it shipped. It asks first.

If a setting will not stick

A value you saved once wins over a changed default. If you set something long ago and a mod update changed what the default should be, your old value is still the one in force — set it again by hand, or use Reset to defaults.
