Introduction:
The Sims 3 University Life Expansion Pack adds the Group Science Project that you get as a reward for reaching level 10 Science skill and it is very helpful, yet it has one annoying feature. When any Sim starts using it the game gathers Sims from a large radius around the Group Science Project to awe at it. It's a bit funny at first, but it gets too crowded and annoying after the novelty is lost. So I decided to get into it and I found a good way to stop it all.

What this mod does:
This is an XML tuning mod that stops Sims from gathering around a Group Science Project. It does so by reducing the maximum number of sims to call to the lot to zero.

Game version:
I built this mod in game version 1.67 but technically it should work with earlier versions unless EA modified the file after the University Life Expansion Pack release.

Modified files:
This mod modifies ScienceActivationGatheringSituation_0x32149b2e3b38a5c2.xml file only.

Compatibility:
This mod only conflicts with mods that modify the same file mentioned above. Note that this file only tunes the gathering situation, it has nothing to do the the Group Science Project itself, which makes this mod very unlikely to conflict with other tuning mods.
