Re: Reduce odds of Item breaking and Randomize it more

@ID-Christian if you have a Sim with high Handiness Skill they can upgrade many items and make them more reliable, including the Sprinklers. I agree they break way too often.

I've just been talking about this on another thread but if you have Get to Work you could sell upgraded items in a retail store. I'm unsure as to which items you can do this with, I'm going to be testing it myself soon.

Or you could upgrade some items and save them to your library.

I have done that, but if I want to play with new sim that I dont want to focus on handy skill then it is very annoying. The balance feels very off, especially if you play with long lifespan - every breaks all the time.

@ID-Christian What I mean is to have a different Sim upgrade items for use by non handy Sims. If they upgrade them to sell or just to store in your library, you can just add them to your non handy household when you build their home. That's how I'm going to do it because not all my Sims have Handiness Skill and some things, like the sprinklers break way too often.
I've got a few rooms of items saved in my Library already like collectables and crafted items so I'm going to add a room of upgraded items too. I'll be testing it with retail lots too.
