Faster tip jar pick up [UPDATED 2026-08-17]

Pick up the jar, shake it, moan because there's no tip... every time, continuously, they pass more time tinkering with that jar than to play instruments.
There are many mods which handle this annoyance, from the no autonomy to the radical tip jar abolition; this mod is another way to deal with, so to speak, my personal "flavour".
Sims will perform autonomously (instruments or freestyle) as usual, with the tip jar, but when they came to end, money (if tipping was succesful) will be processed normally - and relative wants satisfactions will work too - but the tip jar will simply vanish as soon as they reach its location.
No more animations, no moaning, just grab those simoleons and shut up.
Pescado's tippingfix for AL mod with my modifications for compatibility attached here on MTS for convenience.
Update 2026-08-16
Cleaned up and updated the list of compatible mods. Removed Squinge's because they are not available anymore :/
UPDATE 2026-08-11
Revised and updated for Ultimate Collection.
Now it also contains the Fire Dance from BV.
Compatibility
This mod is compatible with:
- Atavera's musical instruments
- Monique's No Autonomous Play Music Max Creativity
- J.M. Pescado's nobuskers
- PatchesSim2/Argon Custom Instruments by proxy GUID
- Simler90's Instrument Tip Mod
Is NOT compatible with
- J.M. Pescado's tippingfix as-is, but...
Update 17 August 2026
The updated version of this mod included in Pescado's tippingfix for AL has been uploaded here and here as well.
Update 16 October 2008
Version of Pescado's tippingfix including this mod AND PatchesSim2's: here.
As a matter of fact, this mod is compatible also with mods that prevent tip jar creation, but using both is a bit pointless :P.
