Better Kiosks & Vending Machines v. 1.0.1

This mod has been separated from the Purchasing System Overhaul (PSO) mod to make it more popular and eventually used by those who don't want to use my SimSim online store. This is a standalone mod as of now.

✅ Update Notes Version 1.0.1

Less than an hour after the release, and here is the first update! French translation added! Many thanks to the permanent French translator braville16!

If you don't play French then you can stay with version 1.0.0.

✒️ Release Notes Version 1.0.0

Do you want more interaction options for more realistic gameplay with shopping experiences? Want more items in the kiosks and vending machines? Then this mod is for you! This mod includes the following improvements.

This mod conflicts with the old versions of the PSO mod up to version 3.6.0 inclusive. So do not install this mod if you are using my PSO mod version 3.6.0 or older! From the upcoming version 3.7.0 of PSO mod this mod will also be included as an addon in the installation archive. So you won't have to install this mod separately if you install the PSO mod. But you can also use this mod as a standalone mod even if you don't use the PSO mod!

University Kiosk Upgrade

In the university kiosk (Discover University pack required) you can now apply for a scholarship directly (it also costs less than by post or on the computer) or buy some care products and some over-the-counter medicines.

Beach Kiosk Upgrade

From now on, all Sulani beach kiosks (Island Living pack required) will also offer other items that were not previously sold: more outdoor supplies (tents, lamps, coolers, picnic basket), items for pets, some selected medicines, care products and cosmetics, cold drinks and snacks (including some drinks and snacks from the Realistic Cooking mod by Somik and Severinka), some Sulani souvenirs and gifts! A few select adult products are also offered (if you own Basemental Drugs or Wicked Whims). Enjoy the break at the beach! Of course everything with a 50% surcharge! After all, the kiosk owner should also make a profit. But if you don't worry beforehand, you pay more!

Ranger Station Kiosk Upgrade

The Ranger Station (Outdoor Retreat pack required) also gets a small upgrade. You can now also buy some cold drinks and snacks (including some items from Somik and Severinka's Realistic Cooking mod), picnic baskets and some selected adult products (if you own Basemental Drugs or Wicked Whims). Enjoy your Granite Falls experience! And also here all new articles are with 50% surcharge.

High School Vending Machine Upgrade

The Vending Machine from the High School pack now also includes all of St. Komorebi's food and drink if you have the Snowy Escape pack. In addition, some snacks from the Realistic Cooking Mod by Somik and Severinka are offered. There are also other matching products from other packs or mods.

Upgrade of Vending Machines from St. Komorebi

Also, the food and drinks vending machines in St. Komorebi will now sell some Copperdale products if you have the High School pack. Likewise, some drinks and snacks from the Realisitc Cooking Mod by Somik and Severinka are offered. There are also other matching products from other packs or mods. Selected medicines, care products and cosmetics as well as a few other surprises are now also available in the Bits'n Bobbles vending machines.

Other Game Objects

You can now purchase all medicines directly from medical fridge "The Chillbox 2100"  (Get to Work pack required).

➡️ Recommended Addons

The following addons can be installed (but are not required):

• PSO Tissue Box Addon to buy a Functional Tissue Box
• PSO Ultimate Sunblock Addon to buy a sunblock from Basic Burns Mod
• PSO Kitty Medication Addon to buy a Kitty Sims Medication Mod

These addons are no longer part of the installation archive! Only install these addons if you use the corresponding mods and want to be able to buy these medicines! More information and download link for addons can be found here!

🈯 Translations

French translation from braville16!

All other language versions appear in English.

🚨 Compatibility Issues

This mod conflict with the old versions of the Purchasing System Overhaul (PSO) mod up to version 3.6.0 inclusive. So do not install this mod if you are using my PSO mod version 3.6.0 or older! From the upcoming version 3.7.0 of the PSO mod, this mod will also be included as an addon in the PSO installation archive. So you don't have to install this mod separately, even if you will install the upcoming versions of the PSO mod, because it will already be included there as an addon.

But you can use this mod as a standalone mod even if you don't have the PSO mod! This post is mainly aimed at those users who don't use my PSO mod!
