Everything Sims 2

Automate career progression so you can enjoy the rest of the game without grinding work tasks. With the mod Sims can:
– Gain career rewards without direct player input
– Progress even when you’re not focusing on them
– Potentially unlock perks just by existing in the career

Makes career reward objects contribute to hobby enthusiasm, effectively backporting or enhancing FreeTime-style hobby progression—even in a base-game-compatible setup.

It keeps career reward objects working in the base game—but removes any hobby enthusiasm effects entirely. So instead of adding FreeTime-style hobby gains (like the Enthusiasm version), this one:
❌ Does NOT add enthusiasm
✔️ Keeps rewards as pure skill/utility objects
With this mod they still do all their normal functions but they do NOT interact with the hobby/enthusiasm system at all.

The basic idea is that it makes the otherwise underused Seasons career rewards contribute to FreeTime hobby enthusiasm. It was created because the Seasons careers were released before FreeTime introduced the hobby/enthusiasm system, so many of those rewards didn’t interact with hobbies at all. The mod retrofits that connection. Without the mod, the Seasons career rewards mostly provide motive boosts, skill gains, or other unique effects. For example:

The Golden Skull of Jumbok IV (Adventurer) boosts nearby motives.
The Education Bookshelf massively speeds skill learning.
The Gamer Pinball Machine already increases Games enthusiasm in the unmodded game.

What Ancient Highway’s mod does is assign hobby enthusiasm gains to the Seasons rewards so that using or being affected by them feels more consistent with the FreeTime hobby system. Since enthusiasm unlocks hobby interactions and eventually allows Sims to become “In the Zone,” this gives the rewards a longer-term purpose beyond skill or motive boosts

This mod is essentially the opposite of Ancient Highway’s “Career Rewards – Seasons Enthusiasm” version.

In practical terms, with the No Enthusiasm version:
✔️ The rewards still work as career rewards.
✔️ They still provide their normal motive, skill, fun, or money benefits.
✔️ Using them no longer grants hobby enthusiasm points.
✔️ Your Sims won’t develop hobby interests simply because they’re repeatedly using a Seasons career reward.

For example
– The Golden Skull of Jumbok IV still boosts nearby motives.
– The Books First for Learning bookshelf still teaches skills at its accelerated rate.
– The Tribal Flame a la Coconut Pinball still functions as a pinball machine and money maker.

Adds a buyable version of the Science career reward Hydroponic Garden for §710. This is a separate object from the original career reward and retains the Hydroponic Garden’s planting, tending, harvesting, and other gardening functions, allowing Sims to use it without first unlocking the Science career reward.

With this mod, all the “Seasons” career rewards can finally be bought. You can download the one you want or download them all ( Buyable Seasons career rewards.zip).

This global mod allows your teens to modify their facial structure using the Dr Vu’s Automatic Cosmetic Surgeon.

There is a mod similar to this by CtfG on this page but that creator cloned the object and changed the behavior while this is a global mod it’s not cloned.

Extremely fast cooking skill gain (approx. four times faster), No skill check; usable with zero skill points on cooking. Teach / Be taught function included. Higher sale price for produced candies. Does not overwrite the behavior of Maxis’ original career reward Candy Factory. Available in Buy mode: Hobbies – Miscellaneous (costs 8,500, but it’s worth the price)

This object allows teenagers to modify their face. It is still advisable to be in at least gold mood when using it. Object was cloned from the ShowBiz career reward and does not overwrite it! Available in Buy mode, “Misc – Misc” for §5.000.

Plants in the hydroponic garden (Slacker career reward) will no longer die from neglect.

Sims studying skills from the Education bookcase will stick with the activity longer. The Education bookcase allows studying additional skills (Creativity, etc.) which aren’t available to normal bookcases. EA forgot to update the Education bookcase to consider those skills as skills, so the game will consider these studies to be fun activities which makes it hard to keep sims from quitting if motives get a little low

Prevents failure when using the candy machine so that it is a valuable training tool (like other career rewards) rather than a useless conversation piece.

Prevents kids from autonomously playing with politics and law podiums. Player can still direct kids to do so if the sound of children burping into microphones is desired.

This object is a version of the Resurrect-O-Nomitron available in the Buy catalog for the bargain price of 10,000 simoleons. The old Resurrect-O-Nomitron is still available as a Paranormal reward. There are now two versions of this mod. -MaxisPersonality uses the old Maxis method of determining zombie personality. -CyjonPersonality uses the personality changes in the Zombie Personality mod. Install one or the other but not both. The Resurrect-O-Nomitron Mark 2 allows any sim to resurrect a sim normally, as a zombie, or as a vampire. There is no cost for the service. Target selection has been changed so that the tombstone must be on the lot, but the calling sim doesn’t have to know the victim. Although it can be used in normal play, it is designed to be used by a cemetery keeper who controls the fate of the dead. He doesn’t have to know them and doesn’t have to pay for them.

Several bug fixes and tweaks of the Audio Augmenter Earpiece (the Intelligence career reward).
1. Fixes “That sounds like a great tip for getting ahead at work!” and “That sounded a bit like a ghost…” to give the proper rewards
2. Allows ghost events only if there are tombstones on the lot
3. Allow job events only if the sim has a job.
4. Chooses angry neighbors and ghosts randomly rather than picking the first one it finds

Fixes the biotech station medicine so that it will actually work. It was previously broken, reading the value from the token at the index of the token index (usually out of range, on rare occasions simply garbage), and if the value was not out of range, subtracting the medicine from the garbage value and writing it over the real severity value. It would also only attempt to act upon the first disease, even if it had been cured. This fixes all issues so that Biotech medicine will correctly reduce the severity of the first active disease, if any, assuming it works and does not infect you.

Sims will now put the scanner gun back where they found it rather than ditching it God knows where. If it gets dropped, it will be automatically moved back to its original resting place. Sims will refrain from scanning objects likely to disappear on them, like things that are in use, and vehicles. If an object manages to disappear anyway while being scanned, the sim will gracefully stop scanning things rather than jump and lose the scanner, their hat, and their queue.

Noteworthy elder career uniforms will now work correctly where possible.
Fixed uniforms include Space Pirate, Safari, Journalist, Diver, Rockstar.

Changes the hydropnics garden (slacker career reward) from building creativity skill points to the gardening badge instead.

Visitor enabled autonomous candy factory sims gain cooking skill while using.

Visitor Enabled autonomous fingerprint scanner Sims gain cleaning skill while using.

Visitor Enabled Autonomous Hydroponic Garden Sims gain creativity skill while using.

Visitor Enabled autonomous lie detector Sims gain creativity skill while using.

Visitor Enabled autonomous punching bag Sims gain body skill while using.

Visitor enabled autonomous teleprompter sims gain charisma skill while using, and is disabled playing with the teleprompter for children.

This mod prevents sims from getting a bad make over when using Dr. Vu’s Automated Cosmetic Surgeon.

Removes the gray overlay normally applied to a technical drawing, Which is made by the SIM series Drafting Table by QuicKraft. The drafting table is a career reward earned by being in the Architecture career.
