You can't take $400 worth of flowers and make something worth $2000. BUT: if there is enough demand, I CAN hack the flower arranging station for cheaper prices. Just ask REALLY NICELY and maybe I'll do it. A cookie would be good too. I like cookies.

I was thinking a manager working a 40hr work week should be topped out the same as someone who's reached the top of a career which is between 9,000 and 10,000/wk. But I think 150/hr is way too much to pay a teenager with a couple of silver badges and not many skills.

i have it does that with everything i believe somehow it happens because of a mod conflict with the hack that allows you to make them faster even though i have no idea how they can possibly conflict woth each other,i took this one out and they all showed up.if anyone else who has those mods without the conflict please let me know so i can see what else may be conflicting with it i want to use this one.

BTW, PLEASE don't install this with ANY OTHER hacks that affect crafting stations. This is not supposed to work with them, so I cannot guarantee that something bad won't happen. You don't want to create a big huge fiery ball visible from space now, do you? EDIT: Argh, why did I post the file to here? Moved to the proper place.

Anyways, I'm sorry that I was a wee bit circumspect with my last post, but I was in a bit of a hurry. ANYWAYS: delonariel- No, this hack does not affect the sales prices in any way. Just manufacturing costs. Guess I need to update the info to make it clearer. cjanefly764- I'll look into it, but I must note that what you are suggesting would be a GLOBAL mod. The problem with those sorts of things is that they are often prone to conflicts and bugs. But I'll try... kiwianagirl- Rest assured, I am working on the next version as we speak. Type. Whatever. I'll probably include a cheaper flower crafting hack in v. 1.04, and after that I'll also try (or at least attempt) to make this compatible with other object crafting hacks. Which brings me to my next point... I need someone to post (preferably to here to prevent clutter in my PM folder) the sum total of hacks that affect crafting in any way. I'll try to look and see if they are DIRECTLY COMPATABLE, which means you can install both and no problems, or COMPILABLE, which means I'll need to combine them to avoid weird problems where both are running at the same time and trying to modify the same file. Adios, anger_management

This is a great hack! I have so many poor sims. They have almost no money to even buy the supplies to make the bots. So this will come in very handy!

Thanks!

I have been looking for a mod like that. Where did you get it? Can you link me.

anger_management Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 5 Thanks: 191 in 1 Posts	Sorry that I apparently ABANDONED this, some RL issues got in the way (if you must know, I'm moving) Anyways, I'll try to bring this mod back up to speed ASAP. Also, mandyonzante, it might not be a very good idea to try to run both at the same time. And, yes, you should only have to extract it to the Downloads folder.

Basic Download and Install Instructions:

1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.

2. Extract: Use WinRAR (Windows) or Stuffit (Mac) to extract the .package file(s) from the .rar or .zip file(s).

3. Place in Downloads Folder: Cut and paste the .package file(s) into your Downloads folder:

Windows XP: Documents and Settings\(Current User Account)\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\
Windows Vista: Users\(Current User Account)\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\
Mac: Users\(Current User Account)\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\

Anyone can use both .rar and .zip files easily! On Windows, use WinRAR. On Mac, use Stuffit.
