Description• This mod allow you to keep track of how much time you spend playing.
For additional information, view the Basic Usage Guide by scrolling down.
Installation guide
• Download & unpack .zip, and place the file in your mods -> packages folder.
Basic usage guide
• You should receive a notification when you load a save that hasn't been exposed to the playtime stats mod about no saved playtime stats. Four dialog boxes will then appear, allowing you to customize how your total playtime will be displayed in notification. Later on, you can modify these settings by clicking on the mailbox.
Total playtime notification is shown automatically when loading game with saved stats.
Stats are saved only when game is saved.
Every new save instance maintains its own set of statistics data. (e.g. a new game from the main menu.)
You can (and should) use Nraas Saver, or just save as, and the stats will be OK.
However, regardless of saving method, as previously indicated, statistics are only saved when the game is saving.
• Mailbox:
I wanted mailbox to function as a sort of hub where you could view the duration of a session, change settings, and more. Just click on it and pick 'Playtime' from pie menu.
• Error handling:
If something goes wrong, this mod will let you know. If you would like to (and I highly recommend it), please share the crash report that can be located in the Sims 3 folder in the documents. This will help me figure out what went wrong.
This mod is translated to all avaliable languages by using ChatGPT, If you would want to help me improve the translation, please contact me on ModTheSims or on discord - my username is arr.o#0000
• If you want to give feedback please do so in the comments.
