This mod combines and updates the work of 2 retired modders:

MadameButterfly(MB) created a Faster Eating and Drinking mod that reduced distractions. She retired from modding over a year ago but her mods have been kept alive by others like Coolspear and Catalina_45. With MB's blessing, I updated this mod for patch V1.36 (Cats&Dogs). The original MB mod is at http://simsasylum.com/tfm/index.php...g-and-drinking/
