Typewriter Computer

A chunky 1950s-style typewriter on a green felt desk mat, with a pencil and an eraser beside it. It is a working computer for your Zoi: everything they can do on a laptop, they can do on this typewriter.

Features

• Works like a laptop: browse, write, study, work and everything else from the laptop menu
• While your Zoi types, the page fills up letter by letter: the carriage slides along, the bell rings near the end of each line, the carriage returns, and a fresh sheet goes in when the page is full
• Typewriter sounds: real key clacks recorded from a vintage typewriter, the little bell near the end of each line and the return ratchet
• It only types while your Zoi's hands are on the keys, so it stays quiet while they carry it, walk away or do something else
• The hands rest on the keys, and the machine's base runs forward under the wrists like a palm rest
• Two colour parts in Build Mode: Body (the typewriter) and Mat (the felt desk mat)
• A new item: no base-game object is replaced

How to get it

Find Typewriter Computer in Build Mode with the laptops and place it on a desk or table. Your Zoi can also carry it like a laptop.

Notes

• The typewriter and the mat were made from scratch for this mod. The bell and return sounds were made for this mod too.
• The skill hologram that floats over the stock laptop is left out, so nothing covers the page.
• On a very small desk the mat can reach a little past the edge.
