Any mod that changes the functionality of the Equestrian Center competitions, including race payouts and win chances, will conflict with this mod. Any mod that changes the times that venues have shows and events *may* conflict with this mod.
does it mean that this mod is not compatible with Wolfgurl685's Easier International Races + More Prize Money (Four Versions) ?

As far as I can tell, they don't edit the same files, so they should be fine. But I'm not an expert and I haven't tested this.

Thank you. This will make a lot of difference to my game.

If the game day is Sunday when we put this in, does that mean it will be a week before the changes take effect? Or will it take effect right away?

Ah, thank you. The limited hours were annoying me, but I didn't think about actually changing it. But you thought of it, and I'm glad.

Since riding classes are not available when competitions are going on, does that mean that they won't be offered at all if I have the 24-hour version?

I just tested this with the 12 hour. You cannot do riding lessons at the same time, so I'm assuming if you do the 24 hour, then you won't have acess to the riding class at all.

This mod should be alright since it's modifying a different resource for the Equestrian Center. The resource I modified contains the multipliers that result in a score so my caution is there in case someone has modified it in that sense.

This is true. This also impacts the special event that goes on there.

It may, it may not. In my testing prior to submission, it seemed that the hours on the center were set at specific points during the week. One game I started fresh they were available immediately. Another game I went Wed-Sat with the original hours and when Sunday hit it was fine from then on. I would say that if the game is on Sunday and you load it and the hours aren't available to play through a Sim week to the next Sunday.

Thanks so much for this! It was really bugging me that we have such a small window of time in which to compete, and that it's always at night. You rock!

I have this installed and now I'm not getting any racing options, not even during normal hours. Suggestions?

I can only enter competitions immediately at midnight. If I wait until 2 AM or 2 PM or even 5 PM then there's no ability to enter and it says a competition is going on and to enter earlier next time. What did I do wrong?

Awesome Mod was all that was installed while testing it.

after removing it, now i can't race period, it says the next race is tomorrow at 5pm, i wait til the next day at 5pm and still no race. this sucks.

This mod isn't exactly what you say it is. It doesn't make the equestrian center open for 24 hours a day, rather it makes it available every OTHER day for 22 hours. So for example I can start racing at 12:00AM on Monday and enter until 9:59PM on Monday evening. Then I cannot race again until 12:00 AM on Wednesday (being that all day on Tuesday the equestrian center says the next race is "tomorrow at 12am".

I mean it's great for the one day it works, but then you have to wait an entire day to keep going. Would be great if it were truly open 24/7 so one could race around the clock (obviously while cheating, but that's the point of this now isn't it?)

I'm going to try your 12 hour version, because I'd much rather have the equestrian center available at the same time every day instead of trying to remember what day I was last racing on.

This worked fine for me, but I did notice that I could only compete once per day with any particular horse. Has anyone experiencing a problem tried going back on a different horse?
