NEW World Adventures NEW

Both mods have been updated for World Adventures with minor changes, but both mods still retain the original features to enable Sims to write novels faster and gain skill points in order to unlock the genres or to write novels faster with all genres unlocked.

Choose only ONE mod to install:

Faster Novel Writing No Unlocked Genres - WA
Faster Novel Writing Unlocked Genres - WA

Genres means basically the different types of topics authors write about. For example, authors write science fiction books. Science Fiction is a genre. The genre the Sim writes about is the genre you choose on the computer for your Sim to write.

The install location for World Adventures is for XP users:

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

For Vista and Windows 7 users:

The mod should be installed in the Mods subfolder of the World Adventures main directory or similar. I don't use Vista or Windows 7 and can't help you with the installation questions. You'll have to search the Sims 3 forums for information regarding that matter.



Basic Description:

Faster Writing Novels allow the Sims to write novels faster.

NOTE:

A Sim without the BookWorm and/or Artist traits (or similar traits to speed up skilling/painting/writing) will spend around 8 to 12 hours writing a novel (depending on the genre) from start to finish.

A Sim with the BookWorm and/or Artist traits (or similar traits to speed up skilling/painting/writing) will spend slightly less time writing a novel (depending on the genre) from start to finish, meaning that if a Sim (without the BookWorm and/or Artist or similar traits) spent 8 hours, then the other Sim (with the BookWorm and/or Artist or similar traits) will spend around 4 to 6 hours depending on what type of genre is used for the novel.

Each genre is unlocked for the traits the Sim have regardless of what skill level the Sim has for writing novels. Only Painting level 6 is required I believe to write a children's book.

No royalties were increased to be paid out, and no skills were given instantly. The Sims will have to work hard to gain skills and more money, BUT they will write novels faster though.


NEW:

The new alternate version does not unlock all of the genres for Sims with no skills to write novels. Meaning that the Sims with no skills will not write a novel ranging from Children's to Vaudeville until they gain the appropriate skills and levels to unlock the genres.

This version still retains the original features for faster writing and no bigger royalty payouts.

Install Instructions:

XP:

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

Vista:

C:\Whatever Directory You Use For Vista\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages


UPDATED - JULY 11, 2009 - UPDATED

Re-download the mod if you have the original installed. A new version is out. Thanks!

Winrar.. Use Winrar or Izarc to open the files. Actually, any zip program will do. I hear 7-Zip is a good program to unzip or unrar the files.
