No longer works for me. Not sure if it's City Living or if it's conflicting with MCCC updates. Not sure which, if not both, is adversely affecting this mod.

Actually it's still compatible with Version 1.25.136, but not with Version 1.26.96, however I am waiting for the vampire code updating, so just be patient please.

Thanks for your mod! Could you add a "x3" flavour ? I think it's too easy otherwise, with the x25 version, my sims come back from work with a new promotion every day, too easy when you're doing a challenge... :X

I'd second this request if that's OK. I'm frustrated with what seems to me to be a change to the amount of benefit "Work hard" has nowadays, but I don't want virtual freebie promotion every day. x 3 would suit me fine.

Then why don't you go to work with Normal state...?
You could just keep your own pace and swith to Work Hard on the promotion day as planned.

I always set my sims to Work Hard when I'm ready to have them chase that promotion at higher levels. That seems to be how the game was designed to work if you want to push for a promotion, after all ...I'm not entirely daft

However, I feel that the Work Hard option is less effective now than it used to be and I suspect that that means that the Entrepreneur reward is still broken and doesn't give the boost to work performance that it used to give (or maybe I'm imagining it all and I've just become crap at playing the game). I seem to get little or no benefit from Entrepreneur anymore, anyway, and I was hoping that a smaller boost from your mod might help to redress the balance somewhat while not making promotions too easy.

I enjoy the little challenges of the game, but I hate missing a promotion late on a Friday evening because a game feature doesn't work properly any more. I'd rather be able to solve that with a small tweak than a sledgehammer, hence my request.

I appreciate your skills as a modder and respect your right to build mods however you choose to do so, and I apologise if my request has in any way upset you. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me, it's much appreciated.

Just added a x5 flavor, you can have a try. I don't think Work Hard has been weakened since I always use x50 myself and the effect keeps steady.
Won't make it x3, I prefer rounding numbers to the nearest 5.

Thank a lot, x5 is still a little number so I think it won't be as fast as the x25 is! Thanks again!

And I don't use the normal because it's too slow :/ and the base game work hard is way too slow, as deathrolla said :p
