1.) Tinkering Skills Mechanical by Ancient Highway
A FreeTime tinkering overhaul that adds Mechanical skill gain to all major Tinker interactions while preserving normal Tinkering hobby enthusiasm.
2) Skill While Tinkering by Boiling Oil
In a vanilla game when a Sim studies studies mechanical, they will gain tinkering but not the other way around. IE: When a Sim is tinkering on something, they won’t gain any mechanical skill points. This fixes that.
3.) Less Hydrobot Breakage by Cyjon
Hydrobots will break down FAR less often.
4.) No Engine Weenies by Cyjon
Sims won’t quit working on the restorable car if the engine blows.
5.) Tinker Mod by Midge The Tree
Every time a sim successfully tinkers with an object they’ll stave off the next time it breaks. Also has a skill version that also builds mechanical skill.
6.) Robots are Science/Toys are Tinkering/Flowers are Nature by Neder
This mod changes which FreeTime hobby enthusiasm Sims gain while using several crafting stations, giving the activities hobby associations that better match what Sims are actually creating. The mod can change the crafting activities so that: Robot Crafting builds Science enthusiasm instead of Tinkering. Toy Making builds Tinkering enthusiasm instead of Arts & Crafts. Flower Arranging builds Nature enthusiasm instead of Arts & Crafts.
Seven different versions are available, allowing you to use any individual change or combination of the three. Only one version should be installed at a time, since the crafting stations share the same enthusiasm-related game behavior and the files cannot be combined independently. This gives Science- and Nature-oriented Sims additional activities for developing their hobbies while shifting Toy Making toward Tinkering, leaving Arts & Crafts focused more heavily on activities such as painting, pottery, and sewing.
