📆 Last Update: June 27, 2023 (Core + EP10 + WW)
📆 Last Update: July 1, 2023 (Basemental)
=================================

✅ Update Notes Version 1.4.0 (July 1, 2023)

At the request of the patrons, I restored the deleted Basemental Addon again. There are no other changes in the mod, so the numbering of the latest version has not been changed. The addon is downloaded separately. If you don't need this addon, then you don't need to update the mod. Please note the addons comment regarding the overloaded menu bar in the Purchase Picker.

✅ Update Notes Version 1.4.0 (June 27, 2023)

Some users have asked about the Wonderful Whims (WW) items. So I brought these back as an add-on.
At the same time I've also implemented drinks and snacks from EP10 Snowy Escape as an addon, since it can't be properly built into the main mod for users who don't have EP10.
The assortment of high school festival booths has been increased a bit (void critter cards, streaming drones, protein bar and some skill books).
Also, I discovered that children have a different interaction than adults in the beach kiosk, so their range has been updated as well.

Please delete the addons if you don't have EP10 or WW!

✅ Update Notes Version 1.3.0

The mod has been completely reworked once again to avoid too many modules, otherwise it would be too complicated for users who have few packages... Now there are no modules, only one main mod. As a result, some content has been removed from the assortment again, the other content (with base game friendly tags to avoid error messages for users who don't have all packs) has been added.
Also, the single line of text present in the mod has been translated into all possible languages using an online translator.

✒️ Full Mod Description

Do you want more interaction options for more realistic gameplay with shopping experiences? Want more items in the kiosks and vending machines? Then this mod is for you! This mod includes the following improvements.

Beach Kiosk (Island Living)

You can buy more outdoor supplies, barbecue equipment and some cold drinks. Sulani tourists can buy some souvenir items at a totally overpriced price. If you have the WW mod, you can buy some care products and contraceptives from this mod in the kiosk.

Ranger Station Kiosk (Outdoor Retreat)

You can now also buy barbecue equipment and some cold drinks. If you have the WW mod, you can buy some care products and contraceptives from this mod in the kiosk.

University Kiosk (Discover University)

You can now also buy computer glasses, more small pieces of furniture, all skill books, and some cold drinks! If you have the WW mod, you can buy some care products and contraceptives from this mod in the kiosk.

Vending Machines from St. Komorebi (Snowy Escape)

The St. Komorebi Food and Drink Vending Machines now include some products from the Copperdale Vending Machines. In addition, some care products and cosmetics (incl. from the WW mod) are now available from the Bits'n Bobbles vending machines.

High School Festivals Stalls (High School Years)

The two High School Festival stalls (Sciences and Sports stalls from High School pack) are now less empty and have slightly more items on sale.

School Vending Machine (High School Years)

The Vending Machine from the High School pack now also includes all of St. Komorebi's food and drink if you have the Snowy Escape pack.

⚒️ Mod Content

Better Kiosks CORE (required)
Better Kiosks Addon EP10 (optional for Snowy Escape)
Better Kiosks Addon WW (optional for Wonderful Whims)
Better Kiosks Addon Basemental (optional for Basemental Drugs)

Please delete the addons if you don't have the necessary packs or mods! If you keep the addons without having the mentioned mod or pack, you will get LE messages and the purchase interactions on the kiosk will be broken!

The Basemental addon is not included in the Curse Forge version because it doesn't meet their guidelines! You have to download it separately.

Congestion of the Purchase Picker menu

It's recommended to only keep two of the three add-ons (although you could theoretically keep all three), otherwise the Purchase Picker menu will get too crowded and not all the icons on it will fit well. See picture, it is marked with the red arrow. As you can see, an icon is pushed away. This was actually one of the reasons I removed the Basemental addon in the last update, because then I had to sacrifice something I thought was least asked.

But you can decide for yourself what you can delete: drinks from EP10, Basemental products or Wicked items. The addons are marked in the red rectangle. You can delete one of them to make it look better. Or you ignore it and keep everything. This doesn't cause an error in the game, it just looks like shit.
