October Announcement for Non-Patrons (Patreon)

This is the first part of updates this October. I repeat here for the non-patrons the information about the last two mod updates that are still available in Early Access.

Custom University Electives v. 1.6.0

Patreon Release: September 27, 2022
Public Release: October 11, 2022

Dear Students! Starting in the new semester, the faculty management of both universities will be offering further interesting courses covering the following skills:

• Psychic Powers Skill (Psychic Sims Mod by Lumpinou)
• Cosmetology Skill (Shear Brilliance Mod by ItsKatato/MizoreYukii)
• Entrepreneur Skill (The Sims 4 High School Years Pack)

I promised the Psychic Powers Skill back in the summer, now I'm finally keeping my promise. The Cosmetology Skill was the clear winner with 49% in the last poll my patrons were allowed to use to decide on new elective courses. And I added the Entrepreneur Skill on the fly after discovering it in High School Years Pack. I think it's a shame that EA doesn't always create elective courses even for its own skills. Bad bad... Also, due to the introduction of the new Cosmetology skill courses, the existing Cosmetics Crafting skill courses have been adjusted to more clearly show the difference between the two skills.

Laundry Service v. 2.1.0

Patreon Release: October 2, 2022
Public Release: October 20, 2022

This is a huge update! I have revised the implementation so much that all that is left of the original mod is the idea and I can now consider this mod as my own.

• I corrected an animation error that already existed in the ShuSanR version. The bug caused an LE message when a Sim tried to interact with the laundry basket while standing on the wrong side of the basket.
• The animation for the "Transfer to Sim Inventory" interaction on the Hamper has also been changed. The error from the original mod was also fixed, that the laundry was always fetched from the basket into the inventory in a neutral state ("used"). Now it can also get really dirty or wet.
• The price increase for laundry service during holidays has been removed again, otherwise the prices would also increase on all unnecessary holidays like Talk Like a Pirate Day as well. I find that unnecessary. The nightly surcharges remain!
• I found a way (I'm very proud of it) to remove the limit on the number of laundry orders! Now each Sim can do the laundry jobs as many times as they like without having to wait for the last job to be over! Time is money!
• Added a new interaction to clothes that have been folded clean, which can also be used to put the clean clothes in the laundry basket (if needed). Why not?
• Instead, I removed the individual send to the laundry service interactions from clothing items. After all, you don't want to take each piece of clothing to the laundromat individually... Everything first in the basket and then together in the laundromat. Sounds logical?
• I have adjusted the washing options so that the laundry only comes back scented with the Soft Care Dry Cleaning. Also, the clean and folded laundry can now randomly come back in all three existing object versions and not just in the default version.
• I have made further translations using the Google translator. Now the mod is available in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Polish, Russian and Chinese.
