This is very nice, great actually! I really appreciate that there is a 'chance' to receive the scholarship, that the dollar amounts are reasonable, and that there's a cool down period. More options, more gameplay - Thank You!

I assume you mean a homeworld university using NRaas Careers? Yes, any sims enrolled in a homeworld uni will still be able to write scholarships along with all teen sims in the town

A very original idea! This gives my Sims more chances to earn scholarships before going to Uni. Thanks for coming up with this idea! :)

Very neat concept, and the mod description is concise, clear, well formatted, and complete! It'd be even more realistic if there's an option to restrict the funds to being applied to tuition alone. At any rate, thank you!

I love the idea of this mod and really want to keep it, but it seems to have stopped sims being able to write novels. I have two writers in my town and this mod has rendered them unable to write their books. They can 'Practice Writing' and 'Refine Writing' but when I direct them to start a new novel or to continue writing a book they've already started before I installed the mod, the interaction drops out of the queue and the sim gets up of the chair and starts doing something else. Also my author didn't get her royalties on Sunday for the 3 books she's already written. I took out the mod and cleared the scriptcache and restarted the game and now my sims can write books again.

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I had seen this bug in testing, but I wasn't aware it was caused by my mod.

Luckily, it looks like a very easy fix. I'll push an update out ASAP.

EDIT: Mod's been updated. Novel writing and new royalties should work fine now. I'm not sure if your existing royalties will be preserved, though, and I apologize if they aren't!

Thank you. I didn't notice my author missing the option to write a novel either! This mod works very nicely with mine. Thanks again for this great mod!
