You only delete the book, or put back in a sim's inventory if you no longer wish for them to receive benefits. So, yeah, you have to leave it out in order for them to receive benefits.

Okay, thanks.

@joandsarah77 - You have to leave it out somewhere to keep getting the daily payments. If you put it in your inventory your payment that day won't come.

Nevermind, I totally brainfarted and didn't scroll up to see it was answered by Penelope. Sorry!

That's okay.

I realise this is an old thread but...
I am using HL version of this mod (thank you!!!! I always wished the payments were more realistic). I only changed one thing - the base amount to $25.
But the payments are occurring twice a day (at 11 hour intervals) instead of just once. Is anyone else having this issue? No idea what else was changed, or what I need to change, to make it back to once per day.

Oh, don't worry, the original mod does it too, I just never noticed it. I wish it were once per day though.

I'm sorry for tagging you @PenelopeT , but what does the Social Services add-on do? I tried Google, but it has been helpless for me

Since I'm necroposting anyway, let's hope that someone that sees this can also answer @VirtualAlex 's question because I've been wondering about it too

@Kaylynn-Is-Typing - The 'Social Services Support' add-on just adds an extra layer to the 'Child Support' so that Sims' don't get to skip out on paying support just because they are not around... for one reason or another. I copy-pasted AH's very brief notes below.


"Monique's Child Support Mod

Updated for Apartment Life
Child Support Off works now
No child support before sim is showing.

Variant - Social Services Support
For those neighborhoods where the father always gets away."

One way I used to do this before Modding my game out was to use the M&G green energy sources in common areas of apartment lots to have the letter carrier drop off a check instead of bills and it meant the sms got money added to household funds from mail deliveries at apartment lots equipped with windmills or solar panels.

I know this is old but I haven't found anything more recent so sorry for the necro.
Does anyone else have issues with the welfare mod paying the sims several times a day ? I use familyfunds to correct this but it's getting annoying as it can happen up to 5 times a day.
I play with Chris Hatch relativity mod so time passes twice as slow but this could at best make it so that it pays twice, not 5 times so I'm lost on how to solve this. No conflict on HCDU either.

I think it's an issue with the slow time controller. I don't use the welfare mod but I have issues with other things that happen at a specific time doubling or quadrupling (STR decay, retirement pensions).

Oh shame I don't think I can play without the time controller mod so I'll have to deal and keep using familyfunds I guess.
Thanks at least I know where it's coming from

I have to admit though that it's strange because I don't get the money at the same times every day and the number of times I get it can vary from one day to other ... probably due to the fact that I don't get it at the same times every day come to think of it If I get the first payment at midnight I'll get more that day than if the first is at say 4 am.

Maybe try and change the amount received so that it will totally what you'd get with all the payments (don't ask me how to do that as I have no idea .. was just a thought that popped in my head .. lol)

It's a smart idea but unfortunately don't know how to modify the mod ... I would still have to cheat with familyfunds because I don't get the same amount daily, sometimes it's 4 times, sometimes 5 but it would still mean only 1 payment to reimburse and not daily so that would be nice.

Unfortunately, when I tested this today it didn't work - the book has to be spawned from the table otherwise it doesn't have any pie menu options.

Not sure who is still trying to do what (@stephrodas are you still looking for a solution?) but I would think that it would be easier to simulate this with Monique's Automatic Payment Mod. You can pick a sim to be your Social Security (perhaps you have a sim that works in government for example) and have them send the correct amount of money to the appropriate party.
