Axe Throwing - International Skill Gain Dialogue
Please see the bottom of the page for the International version
Purpose
In testing my Gwrych medieval neighbourhood I have been growing frustrated with the lack of authentic exercise opportunities for my Sims. This upload patches the Bon Voyage "Axe-olutely Throwing Station" so that it builds body skill, fitness, and - if FreeTime or later is available - sports enthusiasm. The rate of increase is set to be the same as the Bench Press, Butterfly and Leg Press Exercise Machines. The English language version is 1.3 kB in size and is downloaded in sdAxeThrowingSkills_BV.zip.

Installation
The package file may be installed in any Downloads folder. If you wish to revert to EA non-skilling axe throwing, simply delete the patch at any time when the game is not running.
I would recommend using this patch in conjunction with Pescado's Community Lot Skilling and Enthusiasm so that this and all other skill building objects are fully functional on all lots.

The patch will be incompatible with any other project that modifies the Axe Throwing object's Interaction - Play BHAV.

Terms of Use
I do not recommend including this patch with uploaded lots because I believe that players should be able to freely choose which patches and hacks they wish to use. Therefore, please ensure this file is only available directly from here.
Additional Credits
SimPE and PJSE for Sims 2 for patch creation
IrfranView, Microsoft Paint, and Microsoft Photo Editor for processing, sizing and labeling
Numenor's AnyGameStarter, for development and testing
StephSim's Shadows of Gwrych Henafol Inn apartment lot is the enviroment for the screen shots: please see her thread for the creator credits.
International Version
This option supports all Sims 2 languages, is 2.2 kB in size, and is downloaded in sdAxeThrowingSkills_International_BV.zip. The filename of the patch itself is identical to the original English language version, so you may easily switch from one to the other simply by overwriting the file. You will notice in the screenshot below that the English text is slightly different in the International version, in that it follows the standard word order for a Sims 2 Skill Gain dialogue box.
