Last Update Notes 

Version 4.2.3

The following new items have been added to the range:

• Laundry hampers from "Laundry Day Stuff" (SP13) (inventoryable since patch 1.103)
• Pressure Cooker, Electric Kettle, and Drink Tray Sugar Cane Juice (EP15)
• Firebox Street Vendor Grill (EP15)

Other changes:

• The automatic redirect to choose a welcome gift after completing a Premium account has been removed. That annoyed me. The gifts can now always be found in the "Account" menu (if you want them), but they shouldn't be so intrusive...
• Since the Smart Sim Randomizer no longer requires a Pack Test Utility in the current version, the SimSim Store is now the only mod that requires this (if you don't have all the packages). The Pack Test Utility was moved directly to the SimSim Store download archive as an addon. Please delete this addon if you have all the game packages.

Note that the updated version still requires the XML Injector. The switch to the Lot51 Core Library and the PSO Shared Library has not yet been implemented.

Version 4.2.2

The following new items have been added to the range:

• Vintage Glamour Beverage Fountain (EP12)
• The Gravy Fountain Mark IV Stand (GP11)
• Punch Fountain of Mirth (SP01)
• Aesthetically Portable Tablet (SP36)
• ChowBella Portable Pizza Oven (SP46)
• ChowBella Heart Waffle Maker (SP46)
• ChowBella Stand Mixer (SP46)

The following garden fruits have been added (previously forgotten):

• Bonsai Bud (Base Game)

Translation updates:

• Chinese translations have been supplemented and are no longer incomplete. Many thanks to WANZI!
• Some strings have been swapped for more BaseGame friendliness to avoid empty lines.

Version 4.2.1

• The problem with the LE error when purchasing Artist Equipment has been found. The error was caused by the Gream Reaper guitar (special action item). I took it out of the online shop (as a temporary solution) and moved it to an addon so that you no longer get an error if you don't have this object. Please delete this addon if you do not have this item to avoid LE errors!
• After the last patch 1.101, additional old objects can be added to the invertar. These can now also be purchased from SimSim Store: multiple microwaves (Base Game), Kava Bowl (EP07), Hot Pot (EP10), Luxe Drink Tray (GP02), Ice Cream Machine (SP03), Popcorn Poppers (SP05), and Summer Drink Tray (SP08).
• The EA interactions “Purchase Gift” and “Purchase Vampire Tomes”, which were previously hidden by the mod, are now displayed again (request from users).
• Added Japanese translation from Blackxxdahlia.

Version 4.2.0

Added new items:

• Horse treats and toys (Horse Ranch EP)
• Horse manure fertilizer (Horse Ranch EP)
• New sleeping bags, grills, and guitars (Horse Ranch EP)
• Vacuum cleaners and hand vacuum cleaners (Bust the Dust Kit)
• Always Has A Snack-Bag Lunchbox (Base Game Patch)

Addons & CurseForge

The objects from Wonderful Whims have been moved back directly into the mod because Wonderful Whims (unlike Wicked Whims) does not violate the CurseForge guidelines. So you no longer need an Adult Addon for this (even if you use Wicked Whims, because they are the same objects with the same IDs as in Wonderful Whims). Note that items from Basemental Mods still require this addon.

Less Advertising

The advertising calls should no longer occur for five Sim days after the request not to disturb you any further. Please let me know if it's okay or still too often.

Base Game Optimization

Further steps for Base Game Only optimization have been taken. However, the menu item "Purchase Artist Equipment" still results in an LE error for users who only play with Base Game. I still can't explain the error. Other bugs found have been fixed.

Future Mod Revision

I'm currently working on a major mod conversion from XML Injector to the Lot51 Library. This will allow me to have many new features that are not possible with the XML Injector. Above all, this includes convenient categorization with custom tags without the need to overwrite the objects. I have already used this with the online pharmacy mod. The new version is still in progress.

Mod Description

The main feature of the mod is the SimSim Online Store. The application is immediately available on all computers, laptops, tablets, smart hubs and mobile phones. Do you have no internet or do you prefer life off the grid? No problem, because the orders can also be placed by calling the SimSim Hotline. Phone not working? No problem either, because SimSim Market also accepts all orders by paper mail orders.

All sorts of items that can end up in a sim inventory are offered for sale. Everything goes into the sim inventory right after ordering. There is no delivery by post! I can't control that, it's an EA limitation! The only way I can change this is by overriding the game objects. But I don't want to do that as a matter of principle, as it can lead to conflicts with other mods!

SimSim Online Store

The application has an account management. In order to shop, your Sims should first create an account (it's very quick). There is also a premium membership that offers some additional features. All kinds of goods are available to you in the online shop, not only from the Dase Game and all expansions, but also from many popular mods.

Some items are in the special shop category Bonuses & Specials which is only available for premium customers. There are currently three sub-sections: 

• Supernatural with all occult goods (moved from the normal purchase section);
• Potions & Serums with (almost) all possible magic drinks from the game;
• SimSim Rough with adult and illegal goods.

Some areas (e.g. hard drugs) are initially hidden. In order to discover this, one must first research on the internet how to get to SimSim Dark Web. There is also a small new minor skill. This skill can be developed through research on a PC or tablet. Sims with certain traits can do it faster than the others. At the moment it is still rudimentary. I will continue to expand on this in future updates.

There is also a Financial Center in the application. First is the processing of small loans. An upper limit (up to 10,000 Simoleons) was introduced for taking out a small loan. Your shopaholic but penniless Sims can now apply for an instant loan to get what they want. The balance is automatically matched to your debt (you need the university extension for this functionality). You can then pay off the loan directly in the application.

In addition, Plopsy is now also integrated into the SimSim application. However, to shop on Plopsy you don't need a SimSim account (like before) because I didn't overwrite any EA resources!

Shopping Buff System

After purchasing any goods in the online store, Sims can receive various emotions buffs: from enthusiasm to boredom. Some reactions are based on personal traits (e.g. if Sims who hate children pile up kid stuff, they're bored), or depending on other circumstances, some are random. This shopping buff system was greatly expanded with the last update (3.3.0), but is still in test mode. Please let me know if your Sims' reactions are appropriate!

Call Center & Hotline

Whaaaaaat? Advertising? Of course! What kind of online store is this if it doesn't annoy you about its call center!  But sometimes there are nice surprises and gifts for special occasions! The hotline is now actually interactive! The new Call Center and Hotline Game Play took me a little more time, as I learned a lot of new things this time, namely how the calls (the so-called Drama Node Tuning) are implemented in the game. The longer mod test time is also the result of this, since it also takes a lot of time to run the game. Now I'm finally satisfied with the result and I'm curious to see how it goes in your game. This game play is still in test mode. Please tell me what you think about it! Also tells if the calls are being made too infrequently or too often. I can adjust it if necessary in the next update!

Cheat Version

There is also a cheat version of the online shopping application available on computers, tablets and (from version 3.3.0) also on mailboxes. The cheat version includes "Go Shopping" and "Specials" and allows for quick shopping without interaction simulations and without game play. It is therefore not necessary to create an account with SimSim. The SimSim Dark Web Skill is also ignored.

Instructions

Please note that if you do not have this special free promotional item, you should delete the Gream Reaper Guitar addon! If you don't own this item but keep the addon, you will get an LE error!
