I don't know if this is also included, but can you add the real time machine to the list as well? (I mean the ITF one which spawns with Emit) It would be great for roleplaying purposes imo. Thanks

I play an island world that is cut off from the world. Can I suggest a version that makes electronics or at least explain how to do it our selves (to add CC too)?

The one thing I have to say about the original time machine is that if ITF is installed, one can use the Ambitions time machine to travel to and from Oasis Landing.

First of all, it's mind-blowing, thank you for the idea and your work on it! And secondly, I suppose it doesn't work if I don't have ITF and Pets, right? but even if I can't use this without the necessary EPs, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the concept!

That requires NRaas Traveler though, and I still prefer to use the original thing. One can also use the LLAMA teleport thing that came with Supernatural with Traveler also installed, but as I said I prefer the original one.

Since I have no idea at which level you want to have it, maybe you can create it yourself? Just open the mod in S3PE and add another entry. The Medator_instance for the time portal is portal the Ep is EP11 of course (E and P need to be in caps). This will create an inactivated portal which you can inspect and it will then spawn Emit.

I am planning on making some more versions, but it will take time. I will write a tutorial when I find the time (maybe this weekend). You can speed it up by sending me a list with objects with level, scrap it takes to make them and the time it takes to make them, so I don't have to think about those things.

Will try it, thank you

This looks interesting and I would downloaded it right away for a possible inventor sim in the future, but only if the time machine was still included.

Could you please make a version that includes all the original inventions? i personally enjoy them and i would enjoy this mod even more if it added to the original content instead of replacing most of it.

This an awesome idea. But when I downloaded it and tried to play, my game froze, and stopped responding therefore making it really difficult to shut down. I have many other mods installed, so I have no idea which one its conflicting with.

Finally, I can have a use for the Inventing skill!
I second kixleart's suggestion. Perhaps could you introduce a mod flavor that still includes the stuff you took out, along with the additions? You don't have to completely change your existing mod, just add the option. There's some people who may want to retain the old inventions, regardless of how useless they can be.

I absolutely love this, although I wish the Ambitions Time Machine was kept in, since I quite like the little event that plays out after you make it, and despite it being a rabbit hole, I love being able to change the present by traveling back in time.

Hey, you say you've removed useless widgets from the inventing list - what were those? I kinda liked the useless things to use as decorations. The mod sounds great, but I'd be sad to have the inventing be rid of some of the flavor thingies!

Is it ok if I change it so that it doesn't need the store content? I am not going to share it. It will stay in my games. I just don't plan on purchasing those items and am not sure how the mod will act if I don't have them installed.

It doesn't work for me. I dopn't know if it's because of the Inventing/Sculpting speedup mod I have, but this just doesn't work for me. Damnit, I really wanted to invent a Bot Workstation

This is awesome, but could you please make a tutorial on how to edit it sometime soon? It works fine in game-my sims invents the things listed, doubt the bugs that I've had are caused by it-but I'd like to remove the store items since I don't own them and don't have the money for them.

Of course it is. And please do share

Others might not have the Store items as well. You can just link it here in the comments or sent it to me then I will upload it here.

Well does it use the same file? If it changes the time all those inventions take for inventing it definitely does. just put mine in Overrides or take the other one out.

I am planning on writing a detailed Tutorial. Sadly I did not have time to do it yet. I am back to playing for a bit, but only because I have a cold. I still have one more exam coming up. If you look at the file in S3PE you will notice that there is a pattern repeating itself for each item. Just remove the whole block of the item you want to remove.
