Mine Crafting enables your sim to build mines and extract either metals or crystals from them. It adds the Mineralogy skill that allows your sim to smelt valuable purified metal ingots from several pieces of metal at the Mineral Smelting Station, as well as cut gems from crystals on the Archaeology table.
This mod will make your newly started games either easier or more difficult depending on which flavor of the mod you choose. Want to start your game out with a Sim who has only §5,000 to their name? OR would you rather make things way easier on yourself and start the game out with a Sim who has §100,000 in funds? The choice is now yours! There are several flavors to choose from but choose only one flavor of the mod to install at one time!
