Joshie, thanks much for clearing up my confusion. Everything is explained in the read me that is included with the files, so it does tell what each mod is and the levels of fun.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks again for this!

Thanks for these I just want to point out a conflict the gardening mod conflicts with the Children can Garden Mod. It can be fixed by adjusting this line so it reads as below it originally has children set to false.

Great mod! Is it possible to bundle some of these activities together in one mod rather then choose which to make fun? My household has a gardener and a writer who both could use this, I hate to have to pick a favorite.

Hey, you didn't understand. You can only pick one file of each type inside the different categories of hobbies. Like in painting, you can choose "Is More Fun" or "Is Much More Fun".

If I can make a suggestion:
People who enjoy gardening would have fun doing it, but if you are being forced to do it (or to write) just for an oppurtunity or your job or whatnot it may not be fun.
Would there be a way to fuse the added fun bonuses to the respective traits? greenthumb would make gardening +fun as well as it's other modifiers? Or as lifetime bonuses, the Supergreenthumb could make gardening +fun. That way it's only fun for those who want it to be fun, and it's not so immediately fun that your neighbors are coming over to weed your garden while you're trying to seduce them with some Goopy Carbanara. :P

Just a thought!

The gardening mod doesn't work for me.
Is it compatible with this: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=349771?

Gardening is not fun for my sims..

I still got no answer, but I found out what caused the problem. This hack isn't compatible with this: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=352209.

My sims refuse to write any book after I patched to 1.6.6.

If you could make it works on patched 1.6.6, it would be appreciated.

hi,maybe it's conflict with The Sims 3 World Adventures ,can you update a little bit?thanks

Love the idea behind the mod!
But it doesn't work for me either = (
Perhaps it's because of the new patch? 1.10.6?
Well considering I have awesomemood installed and a bunch of other mods It's go figure why it doesn't work for me haha
Tried clearing the cache too but I guess for now I can live without this mod.
My family will just live off welfare (yes my family gets walfare haha).

It's not working for me anymore - my sims can Refine Writing skill but won't write any books for any genres. I uninstalled this writing mod and it works, now. It's most likely because of the patch.

ditto, took out all my mods and found out this was the one that was breaking the writing for me.

I think i made it work again, i've seen that the Original Poster hasn't made any edits for a while...

All i did was: add the line <CodeVersion name="Base Game" /> in the file.

I have tested it on writing is fun on my own game (I got all add ons installed and had the same issue as you), and my sims start writing books again and has fun in it too! ^^

At the moment i've put the writing is fun file with my edit online. The download link is: http://www.2shared.com/file/bh7vGUY...RyadenEdit.html
(I'm not sure if this is allowed, but i think it's a bit overkill to create a whole new page for it)

Although im not sure if it works for the rest of the packages. I will test them this weekend... You'll hear more from me next week or you can edit the files yourself if you know how ^^.

Cheers!

Hi Ryaden, your update works perfectly in my game (patched to 1.24 with Generations installed) as long as they are using the computer to write. Sadly it doesn't work in conjunction with the Buzz Scribbling Pad, but at least it works with the computers.

Did you get around to updating the other flavors too? Would be interested in the gardening one personally Thanks for updating the writing one!

Doesn't seem to be working properly with 1.47. Gardening keeps bugging. Can anyone else confirm this?

I don't know why writing decreases the fun motive instead of increasing it.
