Thank-you! I didn't realize that they did this. I guess I haven't been watching my sims closely enough.

Thank you gummilutt! That huger drop was super annoying o the cooking books. Especially with a sim who just LOVES to autonomously read them and tank his hunger before his siblings are even close to being the slightest bit hungry. And you mentioned me! That totally made my day. I only came on because MTS is one of my homepages when i open my browser, then I saw you had an upload and went "wait, wasn't that idea mentioned a while back on the "what did you discover" thread?" So I opened, and saw you had mentioned me and now I have warm fuzzies. Anyway, I'm done babbling, and you just saved the life of that particular sim. He was seriously annoying. ~VP

Great work, gummilutt!

I'm not in need of these 'fixes', but I downloaded them both anyway, because I merely want to see what you did with them.
This note *is* a thank you note. But *not* a thank you for the mods - as I said, I don't need them - but a thank you for being so kind as to acknowledge my input and show your appreciation by mentioning me - with a link, even! If there is ever anything else you need help with, and if I *can* help, you may absolutely count on me again! :D

You don't know how long I've wanted a fix for that stupid hygiene drop from reading sci-fi books. Thank you so much!

I hadn't noticed the different effects of reading the novels, but now I'm quite insulted by the sci-fi hygiene drop they originally coded - absolutely ridiculous! Thanks so much for making this and eradicating a little more Eaxis madness from my game :)

I've never clicked the thanks button before even downloading before...well, this is a fine first! I actually made a backup ahead of schedule so I'd let myself put in a new mod -- that is, this! Now you can read the entire Star Sims expanded universe, Desdemona.

Thank you for this! I tested it out real quick in my test hood and it seems to work just fine for me. The hygiene loss from reading a sci-fi book was ridiculous! Awesome mod

@Charity Thanks for letting me know. I've made a compatible version for you and added the conflict to the list. Get the compatible version on the download tab. Make sure it loads after read books autonomously.

I was about to ask whether this would conflict with mrclope's autonomous book hack, but turns out someone beat me to it. Anyways, grabbing. Thanks.

Thanks for this - though I had not noticed these effects on the readers, I now hate them. So thanks for fixing them before I realized I needed a fix!

Hey, it looks like I'm back for the autonomy-compatible version after tracking down that the more advanced version was causing a jump bug with traits and their effects on reading. I'll just thank you again for making the compatible version, as the traits and autonomy mod should make up for any features lost by the required step back.
