Update: New version available that gives science enthusiasm.

One of my favorite Sims-people, iCad, has returned to MTS after an extended absence, and I wanted to make her a welcome back present. Long ago I promised to try to remove nature enthusiasm gain from the study cleaning interaction for her, and that's exactly what I've finally gone and done.

iCad reasons that nature is not clean, people who go hunting bugs and go on hikes are not usually clean freak people, and therefore it does not make sense for cleaning studies to give nature enthusiasm. No other hobby seemed to fit, so I decided to aim to remove enthusiasm gain. Back then I was unsuccessful, but in honor of iCad returning I gave it another go and this time I cracked it This is for you, iCad! :lovestruc

What is this?
This is a global mod that removes enthusiasm gain from study cleaning interaction on bookshelves. It will not affect any of the other skills. It affects all bookcases.

It comes in two versions, no enthusiasm gain or science enthusiasm gain (credit to iCad for both ideas!). No enthusiasm means your Sims won't gain any hobby enthusiasm from studying cleaning, and science enthusiasm gain means they gain science instead of nature. Each of these comes in two versions, which you should use depends on which expansion packs you have. If you have Apartment Life or Mansion and Gardens, you should use the version named ALMG. If you do not, you should use the version named FT.

Compatibility
Requires Freetime. Compatible with all EPs/SPs. If you have AL or MG you should use the ALMG version.

Conflicts
None that I know of. May conflict with mods that affect the study interaction on bookshelves. If you find a conflict, please let me know and I'll look into it.

What does this have to do with themegreen?
I'll admit it may seem contradictory for a mod that removes nature enthusiasm gain to be tagged to this theme. My reasoning is that by removing nature enthusiasm gain from cleaning studies, you encourage Sims to get out there into the real nature and get their hands dirty with some real greenery. Your Sims now have to do true nature activities in order to gain enthusiasm, rather than sit at home and read a book. I highly recommend bug hunting, once they reach 5 nature enthusiasm, in honor of our bug-loving iCad!

Credits
The wonderful iCad who wished this would exist long ago, to whom I dedicate this upload. You can find her many wonderful creations here on MTS and on her Simblr.
Karen Lorraine who created the lot I took the thumbnail picture in, Simply Modern. I thought it captured the essence of this mod quite well, with it's clean but nature-inspired backyard.
