Study Skills Faster From Books - FT/AL/MG + New Alternate Version: 12-5-08

[Chaavik]

This mod will boost the speed of skill studying with normal, non-traditional and special skills on the regular bookcases and the career reward bookcase (with the Golden Book attached to the top).

Study Normal Skills' speed has been doubled. The Sims will spend around an hour or two gaining the first 4 skill points individually. At around the 4th skillpoint, it takes slightly longer and then thereon, with each skillpoint gained, the Sim will spend a bit more time, BUT they won't take forever to gain all 10 skillpoints in a given normal skill such as Cooking, Cleaning and Mechanical.

Also, the above applies to the non-traditional skills normally not found on the regular bookcases but on a single book left out on the floor or table surface and on the career reward bookcase like Body, Creativity, Logic and Charisma to name a few.

Study Special Skills' speed has been boosted significantly to give the Sim roughly 1 to 2 hours studying a special skill like Parenting, Lifelong Happiness and so on.

Alternative mod: The Sims will study skill points at the normal rate (Maxis) from Cooking, Cleaning, Mechanical and from other skills - Charisma, Logic and so forth. BUT the mod boosts the speed at which the Sim will study special skills such as Parenting, Counseling, Fire Safety and so on (roughly 2 Sim hours).

NOTE:

This will or will not conflict with other book and study-related mods and maybe Monique's computers (both FT and AL), BUT I doubt they will. If they do, please let us know.

**Not backwards compatible with older EPs. Make requests for previous EPs before FreeTime.**

FreeTime is required. Apartment Life and Mansion&Garden compatible.

**UPDATED INFO**

Both mods are backward compatible all the way to the base game to study skills faster from any bookcase, BUT in order to study and gain special skills such as Parenting, Physiology, Anger Management and like, you do need FreeTime. As for the golden book on top bookcases, you will need Seasons to get the career reward bookcase to use and study other skills like Charisma, Body, Logic and such that are not available on regular bookcases.

In short, FT is required for the special skills. Seasons is required for the golden book on top bookcases. You can use either mod if you only have Sims 2 or have other EPs/SPs.

Cool!  I used to diligently learn skills the regular way, but after several years of playing TS2, I'm pretty bored with that.
