Wonderful! Gaining these benefits is actually very hard, I have to say that sims vacations are not comfortable for the human being players, even it's a real exhausting work! I totally like the idea to get the results for more days (freezing forever is too close to cheating for my playing style ...). Thank you veeery much and ciao.

I wonder what number of want slots is maximum? :D
Let's check.
For now - 7 want slots is great!

Currently playing Sims 4 full collection. (and fixing my mods folder)

well, all vacation benefits are temporary and most expire in a few sim days after your sims return from a good vacation. this mod allows you to stop and resume the vb duration count down procedure in the game code so your sims can enjoy say their fifth want slot a little longer, or forever. you can check the amount of time left for each benefit for each sim by moving the mouse pointer over the sim's icon on the left side of the screen.

This option is showing up for toddlers, who obviously can't use or benefit from it. Can you disable the option for toddlers? Other than that, I think it's a great idea.

Great job! Glad someone came up with this one because there were times I didn't want the benefits to run out.

This hack has a very serious bug, it spawns hundreds of memories (a token) the longer it is in your game.

I had to spend a few hours just trying to remove these from my new neighborhood, needless to say I wasn't happy.

This is not a bug. The custom tokens are deliberatedly created by the VB controller in the game and one is put into the inventory of each character in your neighbourhood. Each token functions as a storage of the freeze/unfreeze setting information for its owner just like most of the other countable tokens already in your sims' inventory. So the game will stop making this token eventually when each charater has one. Tokens in general are non-memory and non-visible objects so they don't show up in the memory and inventory panel in the game. Deleting these tokens with an external character editing program simply erases the setting associated with each charater in that neighbourhood.

It doesn't stop at one token, it spawns hundreds of tokens per character because you have line 4 in "Check VBTD Token - Frozen?" redirecting to line 5 when it should be line 6. What it does right now is check to see if the token exists, then it creates a new one even if it is found.

You are creating a new token each time the game checks for what text should be displayed on the pie menu.
