I've been wondering the same thing, no one says they are going to practice but will play chess instead. Thank you for this mod

Ya, I agree. practice sound like you're telling a child to polish up their skills. This is a good hack. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! It's been bugging me that even after my Vulcan Sim gained all her logic points, all she could do was 'practice'. :P

The hair is from a site that is no longer around called simsartistsunion or SAU. I got the hair from a friend who just happend to have it in their downloads folder. You may be able to find it either on the graveyard, or on simscave.

Thanks! "Practice" sounds like work, whereas "Play chess" sounds like fun, and I'd prefer that they were having fun.

This doesn't work on my version, I supposed it was because my game is in French.
So I opened your packages in SimPE and added the translation because the "play chess" fieldset was empty so revert to english. Now it works fine, thanks for making these.

For anyone interested, here is the packages that are translated to work with the French version. Hope this help.
