Page Layout ⇒ Add extra Lines between Chapters but not Sections in ToC

[Ile]

Hi. I'm down to just two stumbling blocks before I can submit the final draft of my thesis.

The first problem I've already solved thanks to one of the older threads here. The second I can't find the answer to anywhere: how do I add extra lines between chapters in my Table of Contents without adding extra lines beneath sections?

This is what I have:

At this point, where you add \numberline... to the toc, you could add some vertical space. A much better solution would be to load the titlesec and titletoc packages instead, and use \titlecontents to adjust the formatting...

This does add the vertical space but it also splits the number of the chapter and the title of the chapter onto two different lines.
