mod description
controlled collection
this is a collection of xml tunings to reduce the sell price of most collectibles
overview of changes:
- fish, flowers, gems, rocks, insects, and spirits all sell for much less than the vanilla game
- sell price still scales depending on rarity
- the cost of gem cuts are lower
how to use:
place in packages if there are no conflicts, or overrides if you use another tuning mod that changes one or more of the included xmls note that you can either have all the changes from one xml or all the changes from another
note:
i have mainly reduced these collectibles because they require very little skill from the player to come across. if any of these collectibles are exceptions to that [for example require a specific opportunity, complicated process, or unique area/ability] then please let me know!! i do not mind collectibles having a high sale value when they have genuine effort and work put into acquiring them [vs just lying around the world]
conflicts:
use the Sims 3 Dashboard tool to easily detect conflicting xml files
anything that edits:

- treasures xml (0xfbb50d10709f28d1)
- trait chips xml (0xf0bebad6177dc57c)
known issues:
- none at the moment
- please let me know if there are any problems
credits:
- my mods are always fully human created, documented, and edited. genai will never have any role in any part of my mod creation or posting
- mts guides for enabling me to understand tuning in the first place
- s3pe my beloved
- twinsimming for the thumbnail inspo
- pixelmator pro for actually being user + noob friendly for me to make the thumbnail
gameplay suggestions:
- use the percent price modifier in grocery, consignment, and bookstore xmls to afford the basics - sihmie version out now
- balance out wages and active career progression - sihmie version out now
future plans:
- let me know of any other collectibles i've missed out!
