Quote by me from thread, "Faster College Term Paper Writing," in "Hack/Mod Requests:"

This is what you could do:

With the InSIMenator, you could spawn the "Skills Adjuster," click "Change Hidden Skills," and click "Set Writing Skill." Then, set their writing skill to maximum. They should be be getting their term papers done in half the time! :)

The same principle applies to homework as well.

:eh: ...And, this is another way you can speed up the term paper writing process. Good job, Squinge! 8)

I don't like the Insimenator, so this is perfect for me!  Thank you, Squinge.  I'm off to try it now.

This is soo cool. I'm definently going to enjoy this one. It's so hard to get them to finish their term papers especially if they have little ones about that they have to help with their homework. Thanks for this.

Works great so far.  It even affects those who were influenced.  Thanks again.

Your Welcome :) how long does it take in your game? I think it was about 3 sim hours when I tried it.

Awesome thanks a ton for this Squinge! I've just started playing Uni even though I've had it since it came out. Term papers were annoying :p

The one time I played Uni, this student finished it in 1 1/2 sim hours.  Pretty quick.  I was pleased.  :)

I decided to test that out. I tested that theory both with and without this mod.
Test 1) No Writing skill, No term paper mod: Elapsed time for paper 3 hours 5 min (sim time)
Test 2) 100 % Writing Skill, no term paper mod: Elapsed time 3 hours 15 min (sim time)
Test 3) No Writing Skill, Term paper mod installed : Elapsed time 1 hour 40 min
Test 4) 100 % Skill, Mod installed: Elapsed time: 1 hour 35 min
 
It seems to me that changing the writing skill with the Insim does nothing to change how long it takes to write a term paper. Pity, I had hopes that both together would make them complete a paper in around an hour. :crybaby:
This mod, however, is great! :D **Throws term papers at Squinge**

Since we are in your secret lair, your panties are all that we have to throw. I lost mine when I did the pole dance for Kathy (I think she confiscated them)

I put this back in since it was posted that this is compatible with AL.  However, my sim jumped when I had her write term paper.  I do have a couple homework hacks, namely, homework sometimes by TJ, less uni homework by Dizzy, and Simsky's faster homework.  I don't know if those don't play well together.


Title: EP1 required:Write Term Papers Faster
Post by: Squinge on September 09, 2008, 09:29:57 pm
Have you checked for a hack conflict?


Title: EP1 required:Write Term Papers Faster
Post by: Qwigqwag on September 10, 2008, 11:47:43 am
Yap, hack conflict tool does not detect any conflict with these.  The others don't tweak anything to do with term papers.  I wish I could attach the error logs but I can't seem to make the attachment system work correctly.


Title: EP1 required:Write Term Papers Faster
Post by: Chaavik on September 10, 2008, 12:37:12 pm
I would try taking out the mods by both Dizzy and Simsky first to see if they conflict. Take one out at a time, I meant and start up the game to see if the mod you had a problem with is a problem.

I heard one of them hasn't been active much these days. I think it was Dizzy. So it is a good chance that one of those mods hasn't been updated for several expansion packs.

I have TJ's Homework Sometimes and Write Term Paper Faster with no issues.

Does  'This mod is non-awesome' mean that it can't be used with MATY stuff?


Title: EP1 required:Write Term Papers Faster
Post by: Chaavik on September 12, 2008, 10:11:41 pm
No, it doesn't mean it's not awesome to use with MATY stuff. You can use the mods with the stuff from MATY. Just keep an eye out for the problem mods that might conflict with each other.
