Updated 3/3/2024: This update adds compatibility for the Crystal Creations patch and fixes a number of small bugs, including but not limited to rifles sometimes appearing when shooting with a pistol, crafting guitars, and others.

Note for translators: this version of the mod also separates out the strings just used for hunting, which used to be in the merged hunting file, for ease of use.
Hey! I'm back with another skill mod, this time for Marksmanship! The mod includes a 10 level skill, with a like and dislike, plus low poly targets, three kinds of rifles, three kinds of pistols, and a hunting spot. This mod does require Cottage Living for hunting, although the targets would work in base game.

Hunting Details
To hunt, place a Hunting Spot in Build/Buy Mode. Then, click on the spot and select "Hunt". Depending on your Sim's skill, they are more or less likely to hit their target. Deer, rabbits, and pheasants may appear. Your Sims must be level 3 or higher to use the hunting spot. When you successfully target an animal, it will appear in your inventory, after which it can be turned into Wrapped Meat. If you use Littlbowbub's Ye Olde Cookbook, the usual interaction on hunted animals will also appear.
Duels Details
Under the Mean/Malicious category, your Sims can now choose to Duel another Sim. Depending on the two Sims respective skills, either one or both Sims may die. Or, if both Sims are very low Marksmanship, it's possible for both to miss! This is an optional package and can be safely deleted from your game if not desired.

Installation and Requirements
This mod should be installed directly in your mods folder like all other mods. It requires the Cottage Living EP and the XML Injector. If you do not already have a copy of the XML Injector, you can get it here.
Thank you to all who have made this mod possible! It's truly a joy.
