Thank You So Much!!!!

Guess I will now be creating a separate Icarus\-subfolder within Packages\, thanks for all those wonderfull (including this) mods. Much Appreciated!!!!

My island sims are gonna love this!

Perfect! Thank you so much. ♥

Icarus, after traveling to Egypt on load up, I've received this error notification.

You should have let me (J4Ks) test this mod

@stevset: Thanks for the report, I think I see where the problem is (the cheat code I added), lemme see about fixing it

Haven't tried the update yet, but in the original there is an issue with some items only having the "Replace for $$$$" action once salvaged, so far it's happened to a dresser, lounger, sofa, clothes dryer, dishwasher, tv and the exercise equipment. I found, by accident, that if you use MC to "repair all" then these items become fully functioning normal versions, no dirty textures and with their resell price back.

Tested the newest version and what ever you did in that version, either silenced or fix the load up errors. No ScriptError in sight except the usual "correction log" from Nraas ErrorTrap. Thanks!! :-D

Dryers, exercise equipment and dressers (unless you have Pets installed, in which case it is considered a "scratchable repairable" object by the game despite there not being a repair option for scratched objects) only have a 50% chance of being usable when salvaged with the mod. Strange about the other objects because those certainly had their interactions on them when I tested (even on the very first version), it sounds like the mod was completely absent or not doing it's thing there. And I didn't know that MC's repair all fixes charred objects. Guess that would be the easiest way to fix salvaged objects without this mod.

This is -amazing-. It was so damn obvious that this is how salvaged objects should have worked from day one, I dunno why EA didn't do it themselves; if I still played TS3 I would be going nuts with this mod.

This is brilliant! I always wondered what the point of salvaging anything was...

No idea if MC can fix the salvaged items or not as I've never tried before installing your mod, what I was referring to was the 50% chance items you mentioned, MC will replace it with a fully functioning version with clean textures. MC doesn't appear to affect salvaged items that work after you remove them from the family inventory, they still have the charred textures.

I only used MC because I was fed up with my sim getting frazzled, she got zapped twice trying to repair a plasma tv, she spent more time bathing than repairing it

Ah, then I think I see the cause, with the mod installed whenever ANY broken object is repaired (regardless of whether it was a salvaged object or a normally bought one that was broken) the mod reapplies the default clean texture on the object (or a dirty one if the object needs to be cleaned) to remove the burnt texture. Since the mod can't tell between salvaged objects and non-salvaged ones atm, using MC's repair all will reapply the clean textures when it repairs the broken objects, the salvaged objects that were already working weren't broken to begin with so are not affected by this.

And the repair difficulty being amped up for salvaged objects is a feature of the mod - that plasma tv was technically free after all :D

You're the hero this world needs.

I LOVE this! I was wanting one last time I played the game... But... Is there any chance of getting a version of this that doesn't make the objects worth $0...? Or that restores the value after they've been repaired? My sim has been making his living off salvaging, collecting, and fishing... But mostly salvaging...

The way the mod is made changing the price of the object after repair would affect all objects being repaired, including non-salvaged ones, so I'd like to avoid that. It is possible to do (I think) but I'd rather not do it since I made the mod with the intention NOT to have sims make a living from reselling junk, but rather have it as a means for them to get free (possibly) usable furniture if they're too hard up on cash to buy them.

Aaaaah, I need help.
Are the interactions only unlocked for Young Adults and older? Also, what level of repair/invention do they need to salvage and repair?
I put the mod in the packages folder but should I have put it in the overrides folder instead?

I will let you know if it's working properly in 1.63 as soon as I get a good chance to test it.

Salvaging and repairing should be available for Teens and above. Salvaging doesn't need any skills, I'm not sure if any particular level of handiness is needed to repair objects by default but I don't thik so (I've made no changes to how that aspect of the game works). Low leveled sims will probably take forever trying to repair a salvaged objects due to the design of the mod though. And you don't have to put it in the overrides folder, it should work just fine in the mods folder.

This is great. I quit going to the junkyards because of this. No point. Thank you so much.

Thanks.

That's weird because salvaging doesn't show up at all when i click on stuff?

The Salvage interaction should appear only on burnt objects found on junkyard lots. Are you sure the lot you tried on is marked as a Junkyard/Junkyard with no visitors and are you are clicking on is a burnt object? The objects originally placed on the lot as decoration don't count (unless they happened to be burnt in an explosion perhaps). If the interaction doesn't show up at all that IS weird since this mod doesn't change the interaction at all like I said, it still uses the default interaction which follows these rules

ooooh THATS why. I had created an apocalyptic world where junk spawned all over the world naturally. No wonder. thanks.

Finally! A solution to the most irritating, senseless 'feature' in Ambitions! Thank you, my friend, thank you very much!
