So I downloaded the No Relation decay mod for the Ultimate Collection version of the Sims 2 (the one by "NinthWaveSims"), added it to my download folder (where all other mod should be) however when I load my game and play for a while I have issue.
For example a sim with 80 Daily relation and 3 Lifetime doesn't rise as intended in the original game, but I'm also having Sims at 100 lifetime and daily falling down like 100-97 daily in a day, showing me that the no relation deprication mod is failing to function properly..
Should be no mod conflicts as I've checked, any idea what is wrong?

I will link it to help you find it easier:
Seems as it would be put into downloads though since it doesn't modify actual game file.
None were peformed since both Sims were not near eachother at all in game for the time. Nor do they often have negative icons above their head since I rarely have them perform negative interactions or have rejected conversations/bad chats when near eatchother

SimLogical ones don't play along too well on mine for some reason. Nothing incompatable either
ETA: Last line of the notes:
All relationships can go up and down as EA intended during any type of interaction between the sims.
ETA: And this: I have left the long term relationship out of this because it could be someone the sim only met briefly and the ltr may not even have been triggered. However I believe the impression would remain.
The mod basically makes relationship levels remain static if they are really extreme in both long and short (close to 100 or -100) or near 0 (between 10 and -10) for just short term.
So your really close BFF you made in college you aren't suddenly going to not be BFF with them just because a lot of time passed. You'll lose the friendship after you've interacted and realized that you've grown apart. If you've indeed grown apart.
And the stranger who came up and bragged about themselves to you, you'll remember that you didn't quite like them (bad first impression) instead of "forgetting" that.
The mod doesn't change what causes the BFF flag to apply or come off.
It makes relationships more realistic than EA's way of doing things. Not completely what the OP wants, but closer. And given the OP's response, isn't likely going to work for her due to mod conflicts (only thing I can think of that would prevent a mod from working as intended. Inge Jones isn't a bad modder).
I've ran some last minute tests with the original mod I tried, and I found out it only affects BFFs for some reason and happens after a day.
With a clean folder my version of Simlogical's 95/95 limit also doesn't prevent against decay from 95 to 94 in daily and lifetime. Used the right version for all the expansions.
The only thing I can tell you and I'm guessing is these mods you have tried may not work well with the comp packs that are in TS2UC. Such as the combined packs Fun with Pets etc. I know Cyjon(modder) complained about combined packs and said it was a hit or miss with those installed concerning their own mods since these packs don't actually use some of the TS2 engine or code or someting.
I don't have many of Inge's hacks, but I do have a number of Cyjon mods as well as other mods and I haven't had any issues with them with the UC. So it's probably a rarity. The wider scope the mod is, the more likely you'll run into something where it matters. It's rare enough that there aren't versions for those packs so I wouldn't jump to that reason first for why things aren't working. Or at least there aren't a bunch of threads and posts about why mods aren't working with the UC.
No way am I saying the combo packs are to blame only a possibilty but more than likely those mods are working as they said they would, since they both say their life time BBF totals can still change. However, just for a little bit of info about the combos here is a quote from Cyjon's site they made about the combos in TS2UC:
'Sims 2 combo packs like such as Double Deluxe or University Life are evil. They don't necessarily correspond to the EPs they contain, so whether or not mods will work with them is a crap shoot. The Store version apparently also has mod compatibility issues. Nothing I can do about that. Finally, contrary to what has been reported, I have seen no proof that the Ultimate Collection is based on the Apartment Life/Mansions & Gardens engine so I cannot claim any of my mods are compatible.'
