Treadle Sewing Machine with Creativity and $$

The Treadle Sewing Machine will increase a Sim’s creativity and may be used by children through elders. I made this from the Maxis piano and it borrows the animations from there. You need at least one Expansion Pack (EP) plus the base game for the EP's version. The Base Game version works only in the base game. Do NOT install both!
*EDIT*: I have now uploaded a "No Frills" version for Maxon that does NOT have the $$ payout but does still add creativity points. This is for EP only and has different file names and GUID's so it can live happily along side the other EP version. It costs $500. It is named "cokenasmileTrdleEPnf.rar"

***NOTICE: It has been confirmed that the EP versions do not work if you have university only. There is a University version now available that does not pay out (no frills) but it does also work with NL+OFB. It will not overwrite other files or replace other versions. It is the "cokenasmileUNItrdl.rar" file.***

I changed the animations played to look more like sewing. This will appear under Living Room and Misc and under Hobbies. It costs $550 for EP’s and $450 for the base game. Your sim will gain $1000 for every creativity skill point earned on it.

I changed the pie menu for this item to allow your Sim to “Sew”. The piano music is disabled so you won’t hear that during the animations. I was not able to take out the pie menu option of “Perform/Jazz/Rock/Country”, but if you choose them, they fade away (your Sim would rather sew anyway). So, the sewing machine does not play music, but any piano’s you have will still be just fine and play as normal.

Maxis piano had: 3210 faces and 4220 vertices
Treadle Machine: 3254 faces and 3447 vertices
