Hello fellow Simmers! This is my first Mod, ever! The Revised Writing Skill Mod, also known as the 'Write for a Living Mod', was created because I didn't like the way EA set up the writing skill. Also, I wanted my Sims to be able to fill one of my childhood dreams of being a professional writer. Hopefully, this mod will be sufficient in allowing your Sims, as well as my own, to do that! Below you can find some of the changes I've made to the Writing skill. For an indepth explanation of the Mod, open the read me. Please note, my read me is in .PDF format, as that is what I prefer.
Mod should be compatible with all mods except other mods that edit the Writing Skill XML. Tested in game, alongside Twallan's SuperComputer. Please report and problems/bugs!
