BO - Skill while Tinkering
x 67
If you have FreeTime installed, when sims are studying the Mechanical skill, they also gain Tinkering enthusiasm. Now that's all fine and dandy, but shouldn't it also work the other way around, so that while a sim is Tinkering, they gain more Mechanical skill?
Apparently NOT in the minds of the EAxians! But fortunately, AncientHighway came up with the solution: he wrote a mod - ah-tinkeringskillsmechanical - which added just that! However, when I put that mod in my game, any sim who had at least one point of Tinkering enthusiasm, would not be able to Tinker at all anymore: anytime when I ordered them to Tinker, they would just jump, and be reset!
So I opened up AH's mod, and investigated the issue. The search required me to investigate Skill- and Enthusiasm-gain in general as well, so I dove into the objects.package too. My search was successful: sims can now Tinker as much as they like, but they will not jump anymore!
Then I noticed something else: while this worked on kitchen appliances, bath tubs, showers, stereos and TVs, it did NOT do any good for sims tinkering with the Exerto 5000 Multipress Excercise Machine, any of the Hot Tubs, or the Modular Synth. They were simply never included in AH's mod. So I went on another mission, and included those into the mod as well.
So now I bring you BO - Skill while Tinkering. With this mod, whenever a sim is Tinkering, they will gain Mechanical skill.
NOTE: If you do NOT have FreeTime installed, there's no need for you to install this mod, because your sims won't be able to tinker anyway!
Happy Simming!

OK RMK, I'll check out this stereohack, and if it *is* the culprit, I'll see if there's anything I can do about that. I'll leave a note in your guest book when I know more.

Ah, no need, I am almost sure it is. Pretty minor decision as these things go whether to remove it. I wasn't making a request, just commenting in the hopes someone else might have found this to be the case.
It looks as if it was written in the time of BV and is unchanged in the AL director's cut. If anything someone should notify Pes if this is confirmed. Although I'm certainly not going to be the one to do that.

And I'm going to CHECK if your assumption is true, because that's the kind of service I like to provide. Heck, it's the kind of service I would like to *recieve*, if I were in your position. And believe me, it's no trouble at all because I *like* examining code and finding solutions for little inconveniences. If I didn't enjoy doing that, I'd never become a modder in the first place!
And you're right about not going to bother Pes with this, because he and his minions would probably tear your lips of, and stir-fry them for breakfast. As a somewhat seasoned modder, even *I* wouldn't want to be seen asking questions on MATY.
