More Awesome Than You!

I got this mod specifically to slow down the time it takes to level my skills and professions.  Because I thought being level 5 in a week as a fire fighter was too simple

I turned on all the scales for aging and am running the game on epic aging...I used my old sim but put him in a new game with the mod installed.

on the first day of the job I got a simple call to to put out a fire, when I put it out though I instantly gained 4 levels.  is this a known issue or do I need to change other variables?  any idea as to what happened? it did seem like the skills were running slower before I went to work.

Thanks for any help

Are you using the awesomemod config tool to generate an aweconfig.package which will load your age scaling settings or are you setting those each time you load your game?

I am using the config tool. 

I did some more testing and it seems all the professions are  advancing super fast.  The jobs and skills seem to be running correctly scaled, much slower than the vanilla game, but the professions are going faster during events, like completing the job is a big boost but hanging out at the fire house is much slower than before.

If you do not know what you are talking about. Shut up.

Will investigate.

after further testing, when I lower the aging scale to the lowest setting it actually gives the slower progression just on completed tasks.  So there must be a coding issue where the effects for aging are reversed from what they should be.  I'll try to find it in the code if I can, and post it here if I do find something.

No, it's okay, we can find it with the information given.

well I turned off the scaling by age and set my own values fo about what it should be for the job progression.  This seems to be working really well all but when I maintain the alarm/firetruck  or repair a broken item  I get a big boost to repair.  it also seems cooking gets a boost when the food is cooked but this is not as large as the repair stuff.

But for my repair, I went in and read a book a bit the first couple days, and hardly raised my skill any, maybe it got up to the first little line.  Then I repaired the alarm and truck and when done was almost to level 2, I gained over 1.5 skill points in the 2 actions.

After not figureing out this, I gave up on the figherfighter and made a new sim to play. this one had a broken sink, and with not studying at all, got about .75 for the one sink fix.

Is there a setting to adjust these boosts?  Or did EA just make it annoying?

I do not mean to be a pain, it is just if I could just get the skill progression fixed and ballanced, with this mod's other features this game would be truly great.  Thanks for the hard work so far too :)

It should be fixed in the new version.
