So I'm trying to make things drop faster so you have to spend more time dealing with motives. I don't want my sims to be able to stand and fish at the river for 15 hours straight before they finally have enough bad moodlets that they refuse to do it anymore.
I've stood and fished at the river for 15 hours straight before and my mood never goes down much. You should try it sometime: it's very relaxing. Maybe if you did that you wouldn't complain about stupid things in games that don't seem to bother anyone else in the world.
Eeyore:
Aren't there already incentives to buy better stuff? For instance, a poor night's sleep, tastes like fridge, burned food, cold shower, clogged terlet, not to mention the significant differences in time spent sleeping, cooking, showering, etc.? It's the ease with which you can purchase premium items that's the problem. If it was more difficult/took longer to make money then each fab new item -- and the impact of it's perks -- would represent more of an accomplishment, right? But, oh look, Awesomemod has difficulty slides for just such a thing.
And if that's not enough, there's at least one mod that makes your bills larger.
Claeric:
Yeah, I fucking know. I made it. And I spent quite some time working out the details tod etermine just how much harder the bills would make the game.
You guys are having an astoundingly difficult time understanding that I don't want grinding to take longer. I want grinding to take just as much time as it does now- but to be interrupted by motive issues. Like in. The sims. 1.
jezzer:
You know, you could mod it so the grinding would take longer and achieve much the same effect you're looking for.
Eeyore:
Yes, but if it was difficult to buy better items you would by default spend more time on your motives. It seems like you want career/skill advancement to take longer, but only due to the fact that your sim is, say, incontinent. There's no one forcing you to power play your sims. Have your sims waste time socializing or watching tv, and have them choose the least productive work tones.
