If you got lost, then forget it, it's just a bug.
Sometimes, when updating from an older version, this mod settings might get corrupted and reset when starting the game. Therefore, I recommend always writing down the settings you're interested in, so if a reset happens you can set them again.
Game Version : 1.63 - 1.67
It might work on previous Patch Levels too, but it's only been tested and proved working on 1.63 up to 1.67, so use it at your own risk.
Conflicts
Known Issues and Quirks
You will still read "Telephone Services" in the window dialog when calling services online. Nothing much I could do about it
Description
Interactions
There are quite a few interactions in this mod, so click the button below to show them all and read how each one works
NOTE : Not all interactions are available when traveling.
Settings
IMPORTANT NOTES : Settings are saved separately for each save game and each world. This means that when your sims travel, settings will be different. You can still change them but remember that they will always be different from the ones you set in the Home World.
Translation
If you feel like translating the strings, click the 'Language Availability' button below and check if a specific language "Needs Update", then read the instructions by clicking the 'Instructions for Translation' button.
NOTE : Settings are not available for translation. Why? Because they can be compared to the explanations here on the thread and it's easier for me to provide help for them.
- First of all, download the 'Strings' file in the Download tab
- Extract it, open the TXT file for the language you want to translate, with Notepad (check the code in the filename)
- Replace the text you find inside all the <STR> and </STR> lines
Example :
<STR>Study Skills Online</STR> -----> <STR>Translated Text</STR>
- Do not change anything else in the file or it will become unusable
- Ignore {0.String} or {0.Number} or anything similar to those if you see them
- Now choose 'Save As...' and give it a name containing the language code or I won't be able to identify it
- Before saving, make sure that the format is Unicode, or it will become unusable
- Last, zip the file and attach it in a post in the Comments tab
*** NOTE : One or more lines might contain a "\n" . That's a Line Break. Just place it where you want the line to break
Example :
"The cat is smoking\nweed on the porch" will read :
"The cat is smoking
weed on the porch"

Conflicts
- This mod removes the following EA Interactions on Tablets :
- ChooseBookOnTablet
- PickUpTabletForReading
- ReadBookOnTablet
- PickUpTabletForShopping
- ShopForBooksOnTablet
- Any other mod that overrides those interactions might not work or cause problems.
- If you have the NRaas OnceRead Tablet module installed, the interaction to read books on Tablets will still be available, so I recommend removing it. Note that OnceRead Tablet also overrides the Tabcast by adding all skills, but you may use Study Skills Online which integrates that functionality.
- Aside from that, this mod will hardly ever conflict with another one. The worst it can happen is that it won't work, if you have a Core mod installed that changes the resources used by my mod. As far as I know, no such mod exists.
Known Issues and Quirks
You will still read "Telephone Services" in the window dialog when calling services online. Nothing much I could do about it
Description
- This mod adds a set of new interactions to Computers, SmartPhones (requires EP9 University Life or EP11 Into The Future) and Tablets (requires Store item) under "Online Center...".
- eShopping, Read eBooks, Check PlumbBook, these are only 3 of the features of this mod. See the 'Interactions' section to read all of them.
- If you have NRaas Consigner installed, eShopping from registers will use its system instead of the EA default one (it can be changed in 'Online Center Settings').

Translation
If you feel like translating the strings, click the 'Language Availability' button below and check if a specific language "Needs Update", then read the instructions by clicking the 'Instructions for Translation' button.
NOTE : Settings are not available for translation. Why? Because they can be compared to the explanations here on the thread and it's easier for me to provide help for them.

- First of all, download the 'Strings' file in the Download tab
- Extract it, open the TXT file for the language you want to translate, with Notepad (check the code in the filename)
- Replace the text you find inside all the <STR> and </STR> lines
Example :
<STR>Study Skills Online</STR> -----> <STR>Translated Text</STR>
- Do not change anything else in the file or it will become unusable
- Ignore {0.String} or {0.Number} or anything similar to those if you see them
- Now choose 'Save As...' and give it a name containing the language code or I won't be able to identify it
- Before saving, make sure that the format is Unicode, or it will become unusable
- Last, zip the file and attach it in a post in the Comments tab
*** NOTE : One or more lines might contain a "\n" . That's a Line Break. Just place it where you want the line to break
Example :
"The cat is smoking\nweed on the porch" will read :
"The cat is smoking
weed on the porch"
Notes
- You don't need to have EPs installed, it will work fine with the Base Game only, as long as your game is patched up to date.
- You can purchase the Tablet from EA Store ---> MultiTab 6000
- This mod likes to smoke so open the Packages folder frequently to avoid other mods dying from second-hand smoke.
- If you find bugs in this mod, call the exterminator or simply report them to me
