Does this go straight into my mods folder or do i have to do all kinds of fiddly stuff that im not good at?

Edit: what i mean to say is do the text files go straight into my mods folder or do they need to go somewhere seperate.

You don't need the text files at all if you don't plan to translate the mod into another language.

This is awesome Buzzler!!!
You should make updates to this, add more options, and stuff. This is one of the best ideas/mods I've ever seen about Sims 3!!!

This is pretty awesome, haven't made any profit yet but hopefully soon. I've noticed one tiny bug thou. If you use a laptop, and it's in your inventory, the stock interactions get dropped immediately when it's their turn in the que. But, if you have the laptop on the table before selecting the interactions, or you are already using the laptop when you select these interactions, they will work fine.

Does this make the game slow down in any way?

Sorry for the delay, I was absorbed by work.

I actually forgot that Sims3 Llamas uses "Vous" instead of "Tu" which, if I remember correctly was used extensively in the Sims2.
But considering the game uses a colloquial language, I didn't really noticed it.

Thanks for the correction.

My Sim spends literal hours on the computer searching for stocks and when he finally finds one, I go to check to see what the current price is, and its already retreated from the market. This happens with every new stock I find. Common problem?

I wasn't having that problem during my first hour of play, but then it began. I then decided to play another save and again, it didn't happen at first. I came here to check if anyone else had mentioned it. So, I second you.

Brazilian portuguese translation added

Thanks buzzler, and congratulations for another amazing mod.

BTW, i made a portuguese translation for your mod (Please note that it is a Brazilian Portuguese translation, so users from Portugal, Angola and others might be a little surprised with some words, but actually, it is understandable for anybody who talks portuguese) so if you have any questions PM me, and thanks again

This is happening on my game, too. One popped up, but not for long. I went to a new family/save and the problem is still there.

It's EAxian code and just meant as a little gimmick. Please understand that I'm not really inclined to fix it up. I thought about doing so at some point, but as of now, I'd rather write a proper stock market mod from scratch.

Is there a reason that the Dashboard would call this a Core Mod?

I think the dashboard considers all packages that contain script resources as core mods. Nothing to worry about.

No, not yet. There were quite some changes in the stock market code - I think the devs mostly ripped out stuff - so I'll have to take a deeper look what needs to be changed. This mod isn't exactly a top priority for me, so it may take a bit.

I sincerely hoped they fixed their mistake with the stock market because I really liked playing the stock market, but then again, that's EA we're talking about.

Just happened to check in to see if there's a new update for Pets. Thank you for letting us know what's happening.

Damn I guess it was a good thing I waited before patching up because I would have lost all my shares.

Does anyone know if this works with Pets? (Kind of scared to try it.)

I'm trying to translate this into portuguese but I only know the code for feminine/masculine is {FA.}/{MA.}, and I need to know what the code for singular/plural is 'cause our grammar is different.
