NOET:
I didn't mention, but the reason I did NOT hack the flower station is because I feel that material costs with flowers are pretty much the same across the board. You can't take $400 worth of flowers and make something worth $2000. BUT: if there is enough demand, I CAN hack the flower arranging station for cheaper prices. Just ask REALLY NICELY and maybe I'll do it. A cookie would be good too. I like cookies.

But does this lower the sells price as well? I'm running a flower shop, and you can't really make too much because even as ridiculously expensive, they tend to be kind of cheap.

hi there
i have noticed a slight bug since installing this hack when a servo is crafted it is invisible, so if placed on the it vanishes, not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem. nice hack otherwise

This is great. Thank you so much. I have a REQUEST. Can you make a hack so that pay raises are smaller? I was thinking a manager working a 40hr work week should be topped out the same as someone who's reached the top of a career which is between 9,000 and 10,000/wk. But I think 150/hr is way too much to pay a teenager with a couple of silver badges and not many skills.

i have it does that with everything i believe somehow it happens because of a mod conflict with the hack that allows you to make them faster even though i have no idea how they can possibly conflict woth each other,i took this one out and they all showed up.if anyone else who has those mods without the conflict please let me know so i can see what else may be conflicting with it i want to use this one.

DON'T PANIC!

Just found out the problem and fixed it. Uploading new version now.

Ok, it's up. BTW, PLEASE don't install this with ANY OTHER hacks that affect crafting stations. This is not supposed to work with them, so I cannot guarantee that something bad won't happen. You don't want to create a big huge fiery ball visible from space now, do you?

EDIT:

Argh, why did I post the file to here? Moved to the proper place.

Geez, I feel as though I ought to move this to in testing, seeing as I can't prevent myself from fiddling with it. Anyways, I'm sorry that I was a wee bit circumspect with my last post, but I was in a bit of a hurry. ANYWAYS:

delonariel-
No, this hack does not affect the sales prices in any way. Just manufacturing costs. Guess I need to update the info to make it clearer.

cjanefly764-
I'll look into it, but I must note that what you are suggesting would be a GLOBAL mod. The problem with those sorts of things is that they are often prone to conflicts and bugs. But I'll try...

kiwianagirl-
Rest assured, I am working on the next version as we speak. Type. Whatever. I'll probably include a cheaper flower crafting hack in v. 1.04, and after that I'll also try (or at least attempt) to make this compatible with other object crafting hacks.

Which brings me to my next point... I need someone to post (preferably to here to prevent clutter in my PM folder) the sum total of hacks that affect crafting in any way. I'll try to look and see if they are DIRECTLY COMPATABLE, which means you can install both and no problems, or COMPILABLE, which means I'll need to combine them to avoid weird problems where both are running at the same time and trying to modify the same file.

Adios,

This is a great hack! I have so many poor sims. They have almost no money to even buy the supplies to make the bots. So this will come in very handy!

Thanks!

I have been looking for a mod like that. Where did you get it? Can you link me.

Default Ha-ha! Look at me! I am so lazy!
Sorry that I apparently ABANDONED this, some RL issues got in the way (if you must know, I'm moving) Anyways, I'll try to bring this mod back up to speed ASAP.

Also, mandyonzante, it might not be a very good idea to try to run both at the same time. And, yes, you should only have to extract it to the Downloads folder.
