Ok, so I'm pretty much finished with creating my new custom career, Modeling and I've run into quite an issue. This is my first time modding ANYTHING for The Sims (not to mention first time posting in the forums), and I've kinda just jumped right on in, trying to look online and figure things out for myself. I've been all over the place trying to figure out this problem myself, but I can't! I'm admitting defeat and asking for help. :blink: So when I was in the early stages of coding for the career, I put the package into my Mods folder just so I could see if I had it right to show up. All the descriptions, and requirements were off but it showed up in the game like I wanted. Its based out of the Movie Set and when I loaded up the game I had a male & female sim join the career so I could check the titles for each level. Each level title showed up fine, but for some reason I couldn't promote them past level 9. So I went back to working on the details like the STBL, descriptions, etc. I finish all that and put the package back into my game and now it won't show up for some reason. I wanted to see if someone could look at it and see if they could see the problem? I'm hoping its something small that I've just overlooked lol. :wtf: It's just so frustrating to finish all the minutiae of this career, just for it to not show up now! So any help would be appreciated!:beer:

Four things :

1) You failed to perform steps (14) to (16) properly, as the S3SA file you have loaded in that package does not match the Instance you have set.

2) The Names/Instances you are using for your _XML do not match the <Careers> and <Tones> fields you have specified.

LPGirlModeling does not match LPGirl.Modeling
and
LPGModel.Tones does not match LPG.ModelTones

3) Level 9 of your career is missing <Level>9</Level> in its set

4) And finally, in the future, you are best served asking your custom career questions over here : http://www.the-isz.com/nraas/index.php?/topic/11-making-new-distributable-careers-on-using-careers-phase-eight/
