Yes, the mod applies to all skills that can be learnt in the game for all Sim ages.

Looks like the Gambling skill can't be sped up for some reason.

Will this mod work with version number 16.0.136.019017 Cause I'm trying to use it and there are no books either in bookcase or in book store. I have no other skilling mods and have checked all mods for conflict...removing and installing a few at a time.

Strange. This mod is completely unrelated to books and shouldn't be causing books to disappear. I'll re-check in my game to see if such an issue exists in my game also.

Well, I updated this mod to my seasons one, and now instead of glitching out they now run around the skating rink D : (Humans work.. Vampires and Pixies..Don't..)

Just to get some clarification...is this now working with Seasons 1.42?
This is one of my favorite mods, however I don't have time to sort through gigs of stuff if it glitches.

This might sound dumb, but once you download this mod, how do you use it? Is it automatic, or do you have to type something in shift+ctrl+c? Right click anything? Sorrrry.

It's a mod that just works on it's own. No cheats needed.

Though nobody has confirmed yet if it's working with latest patch/Seasons.

Yeah I don't think it's working correctly. On the hidden skills my sims gets to level 5 and then all of a sudden it says it's maxed but it's not. It still shows up as level 5 in the skill journal. BTW I have all expansion packs and I'm running on the latest patch.

Certain hidden skills do NOT have 10 levels of skill. This is normal.

For the seasons skills specifically:

Diving (hidden skill) only has a maximum of 2 levels;
Skating (hidden skill) only has a maximum of 6 levels;
Snowboarding (hidden skill) only has a maximum of 2 levels; and
Ballfighting (Snowball and Waterbomb hidden skill) only has a maximum of 3 levels;

Horseshoes is the only skill of the 5 introduced in Seasons that has all 10 levels.

===

On another note, I seem to be getting mixed messages as to whether this mod works or not. Although it seems to work fine in my game, i'm in the process of manually re-doing all the versions of the mod and should re-upload them by the end of the weekend.

The one skill though that can't seem to be tuned is the Gambling skill. Not sure why, but there seems to be no way to get the skill meter to fill any quicker with the Gambling skill via tuning.

Does this mod work on toddlers eg. reading books faster? I have installed the 50% faster and it seems its not going as fast as its adults sims.

It is in everyday life. A player's true form with a lot of work. You have to play well to get to win.

I loved this mod and it worked fine until I downloaded Twallan's Custom Careers now it doesn't work anymore. I have the 75% Faster and Hidden Skills mod in my game. I also have the no maternity leave mod as well. Oh yeah I have the base game and Ambitions

The issue that your having may not have anything to do with this skills mod, by any chance have you got the Harry Potter books mod installed if so that's most likely what's causing your problems in regards to the no book in the book shelf or book store.

I was experiencing the same problem and when I contacted the guy that made the Harry Potter books mod he quickly checked it out and found that some of the files in this mod weren't compatible with 1.42 causing books not to show up in book store or bookshelf.

If you have the Harry Potter books mod installed all you have to do is remove it and you'll find that you'll be able to place books back into your book shelf and the books will return back in the books store as well.

That's really strange, have you made sure that all the mods have been updated to make them compatible with the 1.42 patch? I have exactly the same mods (plus others) you've mentioned and I don't have any problems with it.
