Ah great I have a pact not to install mods that make the game easier, but this one just makes sense. I'm getting it. (Looks around to see if the Nerf Police are watching >< )

Yes! My one Sim gardened a lot, and it just seems like it should be something they enjoy. Same with tinkering around with things. Great idea!

Thank you. <3

My writer and tinkerer should be having fun while they write/tinker...

I thought it was weird how quickly their fun meter went down while writing and gardening - I love doing both those things! Thanks for making this mod

Thank you for this. Nice to see a mod that's not a borderline cheat.

Neat mod, although I gotta tell you, as much as writing is awesome, as a writer, it does get pretty fun draining after awhile. It's the whole flow of ideas things and such. It's great but after awhile you get tired, a headache, or some other thing where you need to step away and unwind... but that's real life and not the sims! Fictional me can write forever now! Muwhahaha...

I wish I had as many books written as he did...

Not that I know of? I use quite a fair few mods and it doesn't conflict with the ones I have. If you find a mod that conflicts let me know.

Oh, cool! It was driving me crazy that my sims whose supposed favorite things to do were writing/gardening/etc would start doing them and then their fun meters would tank. And I'd be griping at the screen "Wait!! You SAID this is what you want. Why are you unhappy doing it?!?!"

I'm a writer too and yes, it can be a pain sometimes but it isn't as bad as my Sim is making it out to be. (Still, she has written more books than I have Her: 4 Me:0 )

^.^ Thanks!

THANK YOU. I'm a writer, and I have tons of fun writing, even when it's hard, or gets tiresome. This'll be a nice bit of realism. :D

Thank You so very much, I hated having my Sim spend all day Saturday writing and then having to stop in the middle of the day for them to increase there fun meter, they would get stressed so easily over writing. Though I dont really favor these "short-cut" mods this one seems more realistic. Thank You.

Thanks for these. You are right, these activity's should be more fun for our Sims.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed, one of the most irritating things had been been the fact that anytime my sims write their fun takes a nose dive, even when they were writing skills were maxed. This is awesome!

I really like this hack, but is it possible to have as much fun for gardening and tinkering as base game painting, just like you did with the writing skill? That would feel less like cheating

Of course these things are fun! I have a Sim with nothing BUT writing wants at the moment, so why should he NOT find it fun to fulfill those wants? I never understood that...

So thank you!

Thank you so much! Any chance of a version where writing (or all of them) have the boost of the new painting fun level? I'd love to see my writer write spontaneously.

I've got an odd one for you. How about fun while cleaning? My fiance is a neat freak and loves to clean even when she doesn't have to. She says it's fun and it calms her.
