Hi everyone! I can't thank you enough for your support since the release of the Ding & Ditch Smart Doorbell. I have another one for you today, and they seem to just keep getting bigger 🥵

I also want to give special thanks to Ravasheen. Without her I would not have been able to create objects AT ALL. She is such a wonderful person, and a friend. THANK YOU.

I also want to give special thanks to Frankk. Without him this mod honestly would not have come to fruition, he is a scripting wizard and so helpful. THANK YOU.

This mod is Base Game Compatible. Spanish translations by the Simlish4 team.

EARLY ACCESS CHANGE LOGS:

0.1.1 (Dec 21)

Now available for everyone! Download is now available @ https://lot51.cc/simzlink
Removed the donate object to charity (celeb interaction) from internet requirements.

0.1.0 (Dec 21)

You can now perform installations and service calls at Commercial Venues in the Technician Active Career. A dialog will give you the choice between Residential or Commercial when requesting a Work Order. Businesses owned by active households are currently still excluded. However you can still call the NPC for installation when playing on that lot.

Sims can now pay with their SNB Bank Account! A new Pay with SNB button will show up in your Bill Statement if SNB Bank is installed. Note: This is an unofficial integration so you should contact Lot 51 for issues with this specific feature instead of SimRealist. Issues regarding the SNB mod in general should still be deferred to SimRealist.

A §15 processing fee will be added to your bill if using the Pay with SNB payment method.

Lots can completely opt out of the Simzlink mod gameplay by adding the "Free Public WiFi" Lot Challenge. (Note: this is different than Commercial Mode. Commercial Mode still requires a Router on the lot, and will experience service disruptions, just disables passwords and billing since there isn't a lot owner)

More Changes:

Sims should no longer put their Tech Tablet on the ground.
Added the BuyCatEE_MiscElectronics tag to the list of WiFi enabled objects which should now include the Streaming Drones.
You can now easily check your Bill Statement when contacting Simzlink Customer Service from your phone or computer.
An element of "Story Progression" has been added; Anytime you travel to a lot that is owned by an NPC, Simzlink will check if bills are due and charge the owning household. If the household cannot afford their bill then normal delinquency effects will occur. This should prevent all your neighbors from becoming perpetually delinquent. Eventually these NPCs may run out of money as well, but seems like the lesser of two evils.
If you don't want to travel to a specific residence or venue, you can now request a new work order while at home.
Customer Service call durations have been reduced to make the dialogs appear faster.
Additional requirements have been added to the "Disconnected from the World" effects. Sims will only feel the effects if they have the Webmaster, High Maintenance, or Geek Trait; in the Bored mood; or near Social failure.
Fixed carry animations for Install/Repair Kits

0.0.5 (Dec 17):

Added Spanish translations by the Simlish4 team.
Sims in the Technician career will properly receive their paycheck after 7 days. You will no longer see the default "End of Shift" dialog and will see a new paycheck dialog on Pay Day.
Toddlers can be given the password by an older Sim.
Sims will no longer autonomously turn off the Router.
Temporarily disabled Internet requirements when uploading music tracks/videos from the inventory.

0.0.4 (Dec 12):

Fixed an issue with apartments that would cause you to travel and become a visitor of your own lot when your installation appointment began.
Fixed an issue with the Complete 3 Work Orders goal being fulfilled by a single work order.
Fixed an issue where Technicians could not quit their job.
Fixed the chance of an advertisement including a coupon. There's a 5% chance of an advert being delivered each day with a 50% chance of a coupon.
Added interactions for the DJ Booth, Music Mix Station, Video Production Station, and Streaming Drone to the "requires internet" list.
- Tracks can still be created on the mix station and played at a dj booth while offline, however you will not be able to post updates, live stream, or upload tracks/videos.
Preparation for non-residential gigs during the active career in a future update.
