Faster tip jar pick up

Pick up the jar, shake it, moan because there's no tip... every time, continuously, they pass more time tinkering with that jar than to play instruments.
There are many mods which handle this annoyance, from the no autonomy to the radical tip jar abolition; this mod is another way to deal with, so to speak, my personal "flavour".
Sims will perform autonomously (instruments or freestyle) as usual, with the tip jar, but when they came to end, money (if tipping was succesful) will be processed normally - and relative wants satisfactions will work too - but the tip jar will simply vanish as soon as they reach its location.
No more animations, no moaning, just grab those simoleons and shut up.
Compatibility
This mod is compatible with:
- Atavera's musical instruments
- Squinge's No Autonomous Instruments
- Squinge's Move Away From Instruments
- Monique's No Autonomous Play Music Max Creativity
- J.M. Pescado's nobuskers
- PatchesSim2 Custom Instruments by proxy GUID
Is NOT compatible with
- J.M. Pescado's tippingfix as-is, but...
Update 15 March 2007
A version of tippingfix which includes this mod also is posted here.
Update 16 October 2008
Version of Pescado's tippingfix including this mod AND PatchesSim2's: here.
As a matter of fact, this mod is compatible also with mods that prevent tip jar creation, but using both is a bit pointless :P.
Tested with every EP and SP up to Free Time.
Not tested in game in Apartments Life, but it should be fully compatible.
