Faster Crafting
How does it work?
This mod makes crafting quicker by setting the crafted object as partially finished right from the start. I would have preferred to make the actual crafting faster, but the game refused to listen to that so I had to figure out another solution and this is what I came up with. It should also help with the motive drain, since your Sims get more items in less time and won't have to spend as much time crafting. It does not affect motives directly though.
Comes in three versions.
25% complete - Objects start 1/4 done, which means your crafting will be 33% faster.
50% complete - Objects start 1/2 done, which means your crafting will be 200% faster.
75% complete - Objects start 3/4 done, which means your crafting will be 400% faster.
Known issues
With this mod the crafting progress bar will lag a little, remaining visible a little longer than usual if you cancel the crafting before the item is finished. I decided it was a small enough problem that it is an acceptable side effect.
For the types of crafting where the object changes shape during the crafting process (like toys and robots) you may see less of that shape-changing. It does still change shape, but depending on which object it is and which mod you use, you might not have time to see the change before the object is complete.
Compatibility
Compatible with all games from OFB and onward. If your highest game engine is Open for Business up to Seasons, please use OFB-Seasons version. If your highest game engine is Freetime up to Mansion & Gardens, please use FT-MG version.
Conflicts
None that I am aware of. May conflict with mods that affect crafting.
Will not affect most, possibly all, custom crafting stations. The ones tested have not been affected. There's nothing I can do about that, sadly, it's because of how they were made.
How to edit
This is easy to modify if you'd like objects to start out with a different % than the versions I offer here. Open the package in SimPE and modify the line in the BCON called Tuning - Faster Crafting. Enter whichever % you want it to start at in the Dec box, commit and save. If you'd like to try and you need more specific instructions than this, let me know and I'll make a picture showing you the steps.
Disclaimer: I would not recommend setting it to 100 as I don't know how it'll react to that.
Credits
Joandsarah77 and Sunbee for testing for me.
Gdayars and Jones for making the sewable object recolors you see in the thumbnail. Gdayars made the teddybear recolor, and Jones made the quilt recolor. I'd highly recommend checking both of them out, both very cute!

About Me
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
