DESCRIPTION:

The mod, Upgrade Time, alters the amount of time spent on upgrading an object based on the level of difficulty. The higher in Handiness, the faster the upgrades will become whether the Sim has the Handiness trait or not.

The upgrades affect the following objects:

Stoves (all)
Sinks (all)
Tubs (all)
Showers (all)
Toilets (all)
Food Replicator
Trash Compactor
Nectar making machine *Available with World Adventures*
Fortune Cookie machine *Available with World Adventures*
TVs (all)
Doorbell
Stereos (all including the wiring throughout the house option)
Teleporter
Water Sprinkler
Microwave (maybe - Haven't tested this)


Upgrade Times (3 Flavors):

Easy - At least 1 to 4-6 hours total time 
Medium - At least 2 to 6-8 hours total time
Hard - At least 4 to 8-10 hours total time

CAUTION:

Use only ONE flavor, not all of them.

NOTE:

Medium is twice as short as the default Maxis/EA times for upgrading the objects. Hard is twice as long as the default Maxis/EA times for upgrading the objects.

SPECIAL NOTE:

If I made a 4th flavor to make it harder than the Hard flavor, I will simply drain my own Sim's life away while their children grow up and have their own families before my Sim will finally finish upgrading an object. So do not ask for a "Pescado-style" version.

INSTALL:

For XP users, install in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 World Adventures\Mods\Packages

You must have the framework set up to force Sims 3 to recognize and use the mods. Or use Delphy's TS3 Monkey Install Helper to install the mod the easy way.

For Vista and Windows 7 players, install the mod accordingly in the location you keep your mods in.

I don't use either Vista or Windows 7 and can't help you with the install issues. Please look on other Sims 3 forums for instructions installing the mods.

VERSION:

Available for World Adventures only at this time. You must have your game patched up to 2.3.x for World Adventures.
