Say Thanks!
Thanked!
This is a simple xml mod that increases the cost of NPC services to feel a bit more realistic. (If a sim can afford to hire a nanny that cooks or a maid to pick up after them, they can afford to pay them a living wage.) I've been using it in my game for a while and thought I'd share it for anyone interested. It increases costs for maids, repair services, nannies, butlers, and gardeners.
Breakdown of changes:
BG Gardener fees: $50 upfront then $30 hourly -->Modded Fees: $75 upfront, $30 hourly
BG Maid: $40 upfront then $20 hourly --->Modded: $80 upfront, $25 hourly
BG Repair Service: $100 upfront then $10 hourly -->Modded: $150 upfront, $25 hourly
BG Nanny: $60 upfront then $10 hourly ---> Modded: $80 upfront, $30 hourly
BG Butler: $175 upfront then $12 hourly ---> Modded: $250 upfront, $30 hourly
The only conflict that I know of would be if a mod edits the same tunings for service NPCs upfront and hourly costs.
tunings edited include:
ServiceNpc_gardener_Service
ServiceNpc_Butler
ServiceNpc_Maid
ServiceNpc_Nanny
ServiceNpc_Repair

About Me
Hi! I'm Faith and I am a long time lover of the sims. I started playing the original when I was in first or second grade (I had an older sibling and my parents didn't understand game ratings or know about whoohoo). I ended up getting really sick when I was ten and was disabled until I was in my early 20's. During this time I couldn't go to school and had a lot of physical issues, so The Sims became my happy place and helped me stay sane. Now I'm 28 and a full-time student and the Sims is still how I like to relax and temporarily ignore reality. Anyway, I just started getting into mods. This summer I downloaded the sims 4 studio to started to make minor XML tuning mods for my own game and playing around with recoloring CC. I may be sharing some of these here.
Any tuning mod I post can be shared/recreated in any way you want. Unless I start making mods that add actual gameplay, (which is extremely unlikely) I see no way I can take credit for "creating" the mods.
If I post a recolor or other cc (which may or may not happen) feel free to do whatever with it. But if you upload it somewhere, please share a link to my version also. Again I don't foresee me creating original cc/meshes so it shouldn't matter about crediting me.
Thanks and Happy Simming! :)
