Bonjour, chocolate flavor optional.

TL;DR - partial functionality overhaul, more QoL stuff, more functionality

This upgrade replaces the old file, so delete it and make sure the only milking machine file you have is [Kritical]MilkingMachine1a

First, I´ve done away with the artificial lactation traits and the pregnant/artificial distinction. Now, your sim needs to get through a milking course to get the necessary skill and trait to use the machine. Simpler this way. Speaking of-

The yield is now fully dependent on custom Milking skill that I created. The yield range is (1/2/3) level 1 to (4,8,12) in bottles at level 10. Skill gets built up by using the machine once you are able to.

The skill also enables your sims to talk about several related topics- this is mostly for flavor, it just adds some topical friendly chat interactions you can use at certain skill thresholds.

Next, lets talk about the training course-

Using the milking machine, you can purchase the course for 1000 simbucks. This adds a training interaction directly on your sim. When you use it, the sim departs the lot and goes to The Institute.

The course itself is presented through adventure cards- I was originally thinking about making someting with more screens, but you have no idea how tedious it is to make these things. 

The course takes slightly over an ingame day. During this time, you will be asked to send your sim out for certain classes/procedures. You have to complete all of them to finish the training. Your sim can either semi-fail, succeed or really succeed in these activities. Failure gives you a moderate debuff for a day(but still completes the training), success simply advances your progress and critical success starts you out with higher Milking skill when you finish. If you critically succeed at all 5 courses, you start at roughly milking level 5 out of 10. The degree of success is based on skills your sim possesses.

Now to the milking itself. I´ve kept the necessity of choosing the appropriate chest size. However I´ve added a new cycle of milking- after getting milked, the sim will be happy for 12 hours, during which they cannot be milked again. Afterwards, for the next 12 hours, they will be fine and ready to be milked. After that, the sim gets a permanent uncomfortable buff until they go through milking.

I´ve added a way to sell milk wholesale without taking it out of the machine, but keep in mind that you are only getting wholesale prices - 90 cents on the dollar. So full machine gets you 4,5k.

Next, I´ve added three new drinks. Party, Love & Power shake. Apart from giving you the appropriate moodlets, they also increase the rate at which sexpertise is trained (love), energy decreases (power) and charisma/comedy get trained (party).

---

I am sure I forgot something, but this should be about what I did. There is actually quite a bit of interaction under the hood, so if you feel like something is not working right, let me know- its really difficult to test out something like this by myself.

Lastly if you have the old lactation traits, they should get removed automatically when your sim finishes up their training.

Have fun cow-ing around.
