INFO + WIP: Lots of IRL going on
Added 2021-08-22 18:33:07 +0000 UTCHi! I have this week began my work again after the vacation, and we are also back on our office after one and a half year working from home, so lots of changes to take in. This is resulting in me not having the same time working on the mod since it takes me on hour to come to work, and one hour to come home again, then there are not so much time left at that day. This is four days a week, one day we will still be able to work at home though. And since it's new this week I almost had no energy for the mod. When I have become used to these changes I will probably be working more with the mod again, but for now WIP updates might be coming slower, I am not sure how it will turn out. We will see. But time for modding will be more limited than before, this is for sure.
But, what happened before this week. Well, I learned a new thing in scripting, so I will be able to write less similar XML files for tests. This will make the mod easier to update and work with overall. So I will have some rework with the mod to replace old files. It will take some time but it will for me be worth it in the end.
Other thing I am playing arround with is the retail aspects of the perfumes. I am experimenting with a custom browse interaction that will make Sims leas likely to buy perfumes they won't like. I also hope I could make Sims test perfumes if having added a tester bottle and some stripes. But all of these things are just experiments and I am not at all sure if anything will work out.
I also added four new perfume bottles with some new accords. Did I already say that before? I don't remember. But this is the reason wanting to learn these scripting things, cause everytime adding new perfumes there are a lot of new files needed to be added, and I wanted to be able to reuse files instead where possible. These new bottles are supposed to be more uncommon than previous bottles, that will say, a bit more valuable and harder to find and create. At least three of them. I believe two will be uncommon and one will be rare.
Well, I hope you all who are waiting for an update of the mod understand that it might be a while before it is ready for release.
