Omg. What an idea! Nice stuff, but to make this look more aesthetic in-game I'd switch up the capitalisation of letters in moodlets (e.g. From Hacking XXXX, because they tend to use capital letters at the start of every word - makes it look seamless in the game) and to make it look seamless I'd change the moodlet icons to colourless. Otherwise, very interesting idea and nicely executed.

Does all this only effect sims with the hacking skill, like how having hampers and washing machines activates the laundry mechanic in the game or will I have a random sim not interesting in hacking get targeted by hackers?

I will release a more in-game buff version like that with the next update! Thank you for your feedback <3

No, Sims that are not doing any hacker activities will not get attacked by other hackers, but it could be a small add-on in the future! Thank you!

This is great! I'd love a fix to the text that uses "they" instead of "he/she" for referring to sims - it's inclusive and also flows much better off the tongue in English If I knew how I'd fix it myself!

I love this mod. Would it be possible to make this non autonomous for sims without a hacker trait?

Thank you for the reply. An add-on for it would be interesting as long as it doesn't happen constantly. It's always nice to have extra challenges in the game, as long as they aren't too devestating or happen too often for it to be a fun storytelling thing.

Absolute time waste. Chances of successful hacking are too low, rabbit holes don't work, progress of hacking is invisible and resets every time sim leaves computer. No aspiration or career included. Dissapointment.

There is no chance base for a hack to be unsuccessful. Each hack is successful unless you choose a trap each and every time. Rabbit holes don't work if you don't own Parenthood (or the XML Injector) but that is also requirement for this mod and the progress is not invisible, but feel free to check the file in sims 4 studio. And no matter what you do (maybe cooking is different) each interaction resets itself once a sim is doing something else. I'm working on an aspiration but since I never use those in-game I have yet to test how they even work. As for the carrer, it's a waste of time with the in-game carrer already existing until I figure out how to make active ones.

Interesting mod.
If my sim hacks a played or unplayed sim, will that sim family actually lose simoleon?

Is it okay for me to make a Polish translation for this mod?

lol I earned 300000 with this. There is a problem of Immersive Bend computer doesn't have hacking option though. It is dlc computer so that might be a problem
The darknet option is a bit confusing. "Schedule (Beginner)" would be better than "beginner schedule" imo.
