You have it listed 490/hour. That makes it the best job out there. Hehe

You know with MC Command/Woohoo you can get child support if you're single raising the kids yourself? This mod goes along nicely with that feature as well. Nice job. Love the idea.

I enjoy playing The Sims as close to realism as I can get. This is a great addition.

Good idea, but too much money, try $800-1200 per month. That type of money should be for unemployment mod, lol! Is that a thing?

Thank you for this. One of my sims husband left her and their triplets for a younger nanny. This will be perfect for her because she is struggling, she survives by planting and digging things up.

Haven't actually tried it yet, but this sounds perfect for a crazy cat lady game.

It may not be, i'll have to update and check it out. It modifies some things that EA might not like me to modify (such as hiding the jobs menu). It's very possible that it was broken.

Also, just to verify that you are looking in "Careers" and going all the way to the bottom, signing up, and that's all you'll see aside from the weekly prompt you'll get to go get the check.

Bug. I'll fix this ASAP - Won't be difficult at all to enable, probably the flag for YA is just missing somewhere.

It's 335. I forgot to change the screenshots in the latest version. Has been updated!

I might also make a few variations for lower pay levels based on some suggestions i've received, but that's a maybe.

I absolutely love this idea! I love playing poor, struggling sims because if I have everything, I get bored. I really hope you allow teens use this too eventually. I have several single teen moms living alone who would benefit (pun intended) by this mod.

My plan is to add a second benefit tier that offers different benefits depending on the situation. Food Stamps are in the code, but disabled to bugs. Children and teens that are in school may get some type of child benefit system. Teens that drop out of school (I will implement this eventually, or collaborate with some of the other modders that have "Drop Out" mods) will either be offered the child benefit if they are in a household with a family member, or a full benefit if they live alone.

This is just a bunch of ideas, it may not be easy or possible to implement and will probably get trimmed down along the way, but this is the full vision for the mod.

Oh I haven't had a chance to try it ingame yet, I just went by what it says in the post (This job is only available to Adults and Elders) so could be working just fine! Maybe YA falls under 'adult'

TS3 aliens? Finally! Now give us OFB and proper apartments, damnit! - EA, you are breaking my heart. - I give up.
