Yes I'd like the billz to be much higher, thank you

Currently playing Sims 4 full collection. (and fixing my mods folder)

Oh thank you, the game is just too easy! I've had to make up my own rules, like only let one or two sims get promoted past level 3, just so I don't end up with a neighborhood of people swimming in huge piles of money. This will be great with some of the MATY mods, I think they have one that lowers or removes life insurance payments, I'd have to check. Do you know if your mods would conflict with any MATY mods?

I'm loving the harder job promotions. Because my sims aren't chasing new job skills every day they come home from work, they've actually got time for family and friends. I don't know if you applied the changes so they'd work on teens and elders also though. I just had a teen come home from his first day of work with a promotion. He did have most of his needs fulfilled, but a similar adult wouldn't have gotten the promotion.

On the subject of teens how are you handling the job promotion upon becoming an adult? Is it still the big jump to a level 4 or 5 adult job (I hope not)? Level 1 with the jump in pay over a teen level 3 is a big raise, but it makes more sense the the jump to level 4.

Going past teens to young adults, and it looks like you don't have Uni installed, college graduation could find a brand new adult in a level 8 position and fulfilling a LTW 2 days after graduating without modification. This may be more a function of finding a job on the computer rather than having the degree. I can see a little faster promotion, but the new worker should still be in a level 2 or 3 position at the very most.

And will your mod apply to those jobs that require a college degree? I'm thinking if you modified job semi-globals it should.

Does the bills mod affect the dorm bills students get or not? I'm wondering about that since I did not see any information about dorm bills being included or not with the mod.

This is great, thank you! I love an extra challenge and I am tired of my sims being so wealthy in only one generation. The game is more fun when they are poor, imho.

Both "spelt" and "spelled" are correct.

I knew I was correct! In your face old English Teachers who said it was incorrect!

I would love to know if this is compatible with All Eps installed.

I don't get why so many Simmers hate Marsha Bruenig. She actually grows up to be quite pretty if you allow her to.

Hello, I haven't been on this site for over a year and was suprised to see that people had actually downloaded my mods, glad that they were liked!

It's very late but I'll try to answer the questions about the mods. And I'll try to check my spelling before posting!

I think the changes should affect teens and elders the same as adults, I'll have to test it myself though

I haven't changed this, I might look at it in a future version

I don't have uni installed so haven't changed any of this, and not sure I'd try since I couldn't test it on my version

It should apply to all jobs, but again I haven't tested it since I don't have uni

It should since the increase happens after getting the lot value for all bills including students in dorms, but it's untested

The higher, even higher, and 10x bill mods are perfect! And you see so many bill reducers or "more money at work" mods. I saw this shower which gives you +1000 sims, platinum aspiration and max needs in a couple of seconds. Thank yooous!

Yeah I don't get the point of those sorts of mods since if you don't need to earn money, fill needs or wants then there it really takes the point away from the game. Obviously not everyone thinks so though. Personally I want my sims to struggle a bit rather than having an easy but boring life.

I am wondering, does the increased bills mods also work for Apartment Life, with the apartments or no?

Default Request!
I really want my sims to stop getting promotions all the friggin time. It's unrealistic, I was hoping for a mod where you can put promotions on hold. I've been having to use the simvac with low aspirations just to get their skills below the threshold. Tbh I can't believe this doesn't exist already as I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants it. If you can help me out I would be uber super greatful!
