Off-the-Grid Typewriter v.3

BGC

September 15, 2021 Edit: Version 3 is now out! Please replace any previous versions with  MadameRiaTypewriterOTGv3. You cannot have both in your game at the same time!

What’s new in version 3:

• Freelance  writing career should now be fully functional! My testing abilities  were not so great when I first made this mod, and I completely missed  how the game checks for objective completion. This should be resolved  now.
• Basically a re-do of the custom tuning, making it much simpler thanks to @ravasheencc​‘s help

This typewriter uses custom tuning. It may be updated to adapt to future patches or to refine the available interactions. For more information on the tuning process and a more detailed changelog, see this post. 

I can't be the only person with an aspiring author Sim that wants to  isolate themselves off-the-grid in a cabin and write novels nonstop, write right? (Actually, I believe this is a Secret Simblr Wish over at @maxismatchccworld​, though I’d started working on this before I saw the request)

Colored in @serindipitysims​‘s The Historian Palette because it may have been the obvious choice, but it was also the right choice. (Plus two swatches that I was using while I was testing everything, because I'm partial to multiples of 5).

I'm  really, really proud of how this typewriter came out! I edited the mesh  from the base game Writer's Lore object, and then I went and  re-textured about 90% of the darned thing. I even made a custom specular  map for it! Let me know if you feel like it's still too shiny!

Теперь переведено на русский язык! Машинка скачать здесь! Спасибо SofiRing!

A big thank you to SofiRing of the Mods Hunters  translation group! She reached out to me to let me know that she  translated my OTG Typewriter into Russian!

Warning: Lots of reading ahead!

What you can do with this typewriter:

• Pretty much every writing interaction (Practice writing, write books, write jokes, compose comedy routines)
• Pen Pal Interactions
• Freelance Writing Career
• Limited  Interactions for the Conservationist, Detective, Education, Gardener,  Law, Military, Social Media, Style Influencer, Writer Careers  (Essentially the same as the Freelance limitations - nothing that would  obviously require internet)
• Write Dollhouse Story, Practice Typing
• Write Love Letter (changed from Write Love Email)
• Write About Feelings (changed from Blog About Feelings)
• Write Term Papers/Study for University Courses
• You  can put this typewriter in your inventory and drag it in live mode, but  like a laptop, will only place on desks/dining tables.

What you can't do with this typewriter:

• Essentially, anything that would only make sense with a screen or internet connection
• Go on Vacation/Purchase Property
• Upgrade it

If you've made it this far in this massive wall of text, please let me know if you run into any problems, or if you have suggestions for what interactions should or shouldn't be included. I've named this version 3 because I'd love to improve it based on feedback! 

Tag me @madameria on Tumblr if you end up using this in story posts/screenshots. I'd love to see how other people use it!
