2.) Cheaper Restaurant Guides by Cyjon
Significantly reduces payout for restaurant guides. The payout is a base of 40-240 simoleons plus 40 * Cuisine enthusiasm plus 20 * Cooking skill. If the total is >400 it is considered a good guide and >700 a great guide.
3.) Old Novels by Cyjon
Restores pre-FT novel writing to FreeTime and Apartment Life.
4.) Professional Blogger by Cyjon
Sims can make money from blogging on the computer. Update to extend higher earnings to sims with secondary Wealth aspiration. Sims who have maxed out enthusiasm in a hobby will earn money during the time they blog. Sims with the Wealth aspiration, primary or secondary, earn the same rate as they do for offering financial advice ($75, $125 or $200 per hour depending on Logic skill). Non-Wealth sims earn half this amount since they don’t obsess over all the CEO details of a successfully monetized blog. This money is earned only if the sim has maximum enthusiasm in the hobby. Blogging at lower enthusiasm levels earns nothing.
5.) Faster novel writing – Customizable by Gummilutt
This is a global mod that changes how long it takes to write a novel. In FT/AL/M&G the default time required to write a novel is roughly 15 hours. There are 3 different versions with also a option to customize your own.
6.) Sellable Novels by Kestrellyn
Sim-written novels made in Free Time can be placed on OFB shelves and marked as “for sale” on OFB business lots, creating a convenient way to distribute the novel to the rest of the hood. They cost about the same amount as a regular book sold off of a bookshelf that is marked as for sale, and restock like buy mode items (money disappears from the family funds, new novel appears on the shelf). Unfortunately, when they restock they show up standing upright on their bindings and are all called “Book Title”, however, when they are bought they have the correct title and are functionally equivalent to the original novel (including having the correct contents).
