Thanks for faster brewing for all of us to enjoy !

Hopefully this mod will also make them move out of the way of the coffeemaker faster once they make it. Thanks alot.

I see that this is your first mod upload. Nice. But perhaps you did not realise, that I already have a faster brew tea and coffee in this mod set here - http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=572098

It is usually frowned upon by this site to have the same mods uploaded. If any of the senior moderators become aware that this is a repeat mod, they may ask you to take it down.

It's not the same mod. My mod changes only brewing time. It doesn't fix something like quality. My mod even changes completely different files than yours.
I didn't see your mod so i created my own. Besides i don't like any mods that change quality foods. Without resentment.
I just love to play without any improvements like the quality of foods, the speed of skills and etc except some things like the speed of some interactions and etc (but it just because i very love to play with slow game time speed and the speed of some interactions needs to change in this case).

At first i wanted to create a mod that changes not only just the brewing time but makes this time different for coffee and tea. But until i didn't figure out how i can do this. So i created the simple mod that changes only speed of the brewing tea and coffee in two times. Because 5 minutes is exactly what i wanted. 'cause it's more realistic then 11 minutes.

And if i would see the same mod before (mod that changes the brewing time exactly from 11 to 5 minutes) I wouldn't create my own mod that does the same things. 'cause why reinvent the wheel? If there's already one mod that does the same things. And how i can see, your mod does the brewing time more faster than 5 minutes.

The faster brew in my set is a stand alone faster brew and does not effect the quality. The ones that change the quality are separate mods in the same set. Hard to miss that fact, really, since they are in separate rars, separately named. Also, the files altered are irrelevant when it all boils down to the same in-game results - if you'll pardon the pun.

There's Something About Mary - "6 minute abs." Is that what we're going for now?

If the site moderatos think it's fine, then so be it. We'll just have to wait and see what they decide.

@coolspear1
To be fair, you have bypass so it's possible that the mod who approved this didn't know a similar mod already existed. Now that it's been pointed out.. well, TS4 isn't my thing, so I myself will be stepping back and letting someone who does know TS4 take over from here.

They make different brewing time. I tested your mod now. My sim thought for a long time before start to brew his tea or coffee and than after before start to drink it and so to do other things. I don't know how it may be connected but it's a fact. And he brewed his coffee for 1 minutes (that so fast) and tea for 3 minutes with your mod. Do you really think that these mods are the same? I mean they make the brewing tea and coffee faster but they give us different time for that. And i think it's a reason why they both have a right to exist. Honestly i don't understand why you think that mods that have similar functions but with different values should not exist together. Ok. If it's so necessary i can remove this mod from MTS but i'll not do it with another forums (i mean our russian forum) or my own blog (when or if i'll place my mods there).

P.S. It's really very hurt to get such a reaction here. I did not expect it. Especially considering the fact that i've seen similar mods from different authors here before, at least with the same function like mods for life span. I even think maybe i hurried up to post here my mods (includes two mods that in queue now). I just whanted to share them with the rest of the world and playes that maybe need it. That is reason why i decided upload them here. But it may be in vain.

The reason for the slowdown, as I'm sure you've noticed with a great many other animations in the game this past year, is because of the game doing its files, system and world checks whenever your start up a new game. The way Maxis have it, a lot of the time sims stand around for ages, or are locked into animations for too long. This is most prolific when entering a household at the start of a session, and again at particular times of the day.

You have also stated elsewhere that you use MC Command centre and also slow the flow of time in your game. I hope you did not forget about these factors on purpose to suggest my mod is too slow. MC is known to also slow the game down considerably when it is doing its checks and balances alongside the Maxis checks and balances. Sims will often sand around for ages or be locked into animations for ages with all this going on at the start of a session.

And, please, there is no need to take it personally or be upset. I was merely bringing to your attention the site rules. I myself have had mods rejected for TS3 on this site a long time ago for similar reasons. Please don't think it is directed towards you personally. I appreciate you have taken the time to learn how to use modding tools, to make a good mod and share it, and that is always a praiseworthy thing. I'm just trying to help you avoid pitfalls.

I just wrote that i noticed when i tested your mod. Reasons may be different. I just tested it to figure out how much time it'll take with your mod. Nothing more. So I'm sorry if i offended you. I really didn't want it. Really reasons may be connected with the game or maybe with the game time speed or may be with my notebook which just needs to get some rest 'cause it works all day today. So.... But the meaning that i wanted to give you is that both of mods maybe do the same things but they do it differently. One mod changes the brewing time from 11 to 5 minutes. Second mod changes the brewing time from 11 to different time (1 minutes for the brewing cofee and 3 minutes for tea). I just thought at first that you really didn't like that i posted the similar mod. I hope i was wrong.

But in any case thanks that you warned me about these rules. I saw them. One time ago it was the reason why i didn't upload here my mods "Realistic length of seasons" and "Control pregnancy" and "Long travels" and mod for life span for The Sims 3 (although they were different from the ones here). Maybe i wouldn't upload this mod too if i would have seen that you've the similar mod here (i think the reason why i didn't see it before is it in the huge set of different mods, otherwise i'd be using it myself).

But.. honestly i don't understand these rules a little. Will see what moderators will say. And what will be, will be. That's all that i can say.

I'm glad we can see that. I truly am happy to see you posting mods and hope to see great things from you in future. TS4 certainly needs all the modders it can get Anything you want to know about Sims4Studio, please don't hesitate to ask me. I've been tinkering with it for a while now, so there might be a few tricks I could help you with. If I could ask one thing from you, and that would be to change the name of this mod, so it isn't exactly the same as my own version, then I think we could find a happy ground with no more issues. I'm sure many players would love the idea of a specific five minute brew time, so I wouldn't want see them lose that option.

Ok. I'll change mod name. But honestly i don't know how to call it better.

I really hope that in near future i can figure out how to implement my original idea. I mean i hope i can create a mod with different brewing time for different sorts of tea and even more. I just have some cool ideas but i think it'll take a little more time 'cause i'm just starting to create mods for The Sims 4 and i even don't know Phyton yet.


Ok. Thanks. I'll keep it in mind.

Using S4S, If you were to create new, unique XMLs for each instance, you may be able to make a great many different brew times and unique circumstances for each tea/coffee recipe. Not unlike the mods I created for Cold Drinks Dispensers. Whenever you're ready to try it, send me a PM and I'll help guide you through the advanced steps on S4S to make such unique, individual XMLs and mods. I'd be happy to.

Ok. Thanks a lot! I'll send you PM then.

Great! I like the idea of 5 minutes brew time. It lasts to long in game I think but if I boil water at home it really lasts five minutes. So I like this mod a lot! Thank you

Realistic time for brewing tea is the reason why i made exactly 5 min. And almost realistic for coffee.

Hi Galaxy777, thank you so much for this mod! I look forward greatly to using it and it seems simple and just what is needed.

This mod is working as intended for me with the latest expansion.

y'all should update this one while you're bickering:

http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=535153
Orange Juice, Milk, and GTW Soda Gives Energy

and there was a one about coffee giving more energy:
http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=534845

I'm 90% sure these both broke in the last update and are abandoned.

Cool1 did the coffee one, my bad

Thank you for creating this! If you do figure out how to put different brewing times on different tea (3 minutes for green tea, 5 minutes for black or herbal tea, etc), I would definitely download that version as well. I was looking for something that made the brewing only last ~5 min. Your title was very specific and catchy!

Thank You

Aaah, this is really much better than before - I can only say, that I know, you understand why my Sim often got late to work!

Thank you

Thanks for the mod!

For anyone curious, the SimsVIP reports this mod as still working as of the 6/19/2018 pre-Seasons patch.
