This is a simple tuning mod that reduces the number of meetings required per week for the business rabbithole career.
What this mod changes
Levels 6-10 of the business career have a "mapping" for held meetings which designates what the low, medium, and high rankings are (from the frownie face to the greenest smilie face) for each. I have halved most of these numbers. If the number was odd, I rounded it to be slightly better i.e. -5 becomes -2, 5 becomes 2. Because this mod makes changes to the Careers XML, which will conflict with a lot of mods which tweak the rabbithole careers, I am including the line number of each change.
What this mod does not do
This mod will not change the fact that meetings expire after one week. It also doesn't change the hours during which meetings can be held. Meetings will pay the same amount of simoleons. My understanding is that these things can changed by modifying the business career's own XML. I didn't do any playtesting for these, however, so I'm not sure of the exact effects which changes to those numbers will produce.
This mod also doesn't change how much effort is required to completely fill the progression bar for each level. The reduced number of meetings required will only make positive progression move slightly more quickly than it would in an unmodded game.
Conflicts
This mod makes changes to the Careers XML and will conflict with any mod which does the same. This includes mods which change the hourly rate for rabbithole careers. AwesomeMod also includes changes to this XML file. If you already have a mod which tweaks the Careers XML, you can open that mod using S3PE and use a text editor such as Notepad to make the changes to the line numbers specified above.
Conclusion/Credits
As always, thanks for Simlogical for the gift to Sims 3 users that is S3PE. I honestly have more fun going through the gameplay data than I do actually playing the game some days.
This mod was originally made for Sad_Ball4496 over at the Sims 3 subreddit, but I figured some other players might be interested in it, as well. If you like the idea of this mod but want me to make the meetings required even easier (or perhaps even harder?) just let me know, and I can add another flavor to this page.
