You're sure? All the majors have images - you must have deleted it or somesuch. Try cloning a different major and exporting the image file, you should then be able to import it into your major. |

On the very first step, it says "click on the object workshop". My screen doesn't look like that, it doesn't have the tabs. So I tried clicking on object workshop manually (Tools/Object Creation/Object Workshop...). It won't open at all, no matter how many times I click it. The reason I downloaded SimPE was to make my own careers and now I can't figure out anything about it! Can someone please help me? |

Well, firstly SnowySwan77, if you want to make careers, why are you following a tutorial for creating majors? Secondly, it sounds like something went wrong with your SimPE installation - I suggest you go to the SimPE site for help. hcoaberfitch, the standards for major icons are listed in the Creator Guidelines. |

I followed your tutorial and it worked super well, except that my class titles aren't changing. I am using a new version of Sim PE (0.72) (AL) and FrikaC's Majors Made Easier. Do you have any ideas on fixing it? |

Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much for sharing such interesting knowledge. I think I made something cool out of it, too!  Edit : I've realized that the "Focused Skills" remain the same as for the cloned major, despite diffences in the skill building along the major. My custom major focused on the same Skills than Literature, but I didn't realize it, and cloned History instead. Well, "Body" is one of my focused skills and gets up to 4 along the major, but it never showed up in the list of Focused skills, it kept "Charisma, Creativity, Mechanical, Logic" from the History major. So I have to redo this all over again, cloning the Literature major, lol. Question : This tutorial has been posted a few years ago, in the meantime did anyone find out how to 1) change the learning-points icon 2) link a custom major to a career, because even the Maxis careers linked to History (the one from which I cloned) didn't show up in my Custom major "Ideal careers" panel. Thanks

JodiFreak, that's usually caused by broken skills - TS2 is very fussy about how many skill requirements you can have for each semester; that's why I included the table. van Dorn, you haven't hit the Default Lang Only button. If you look at all the language strings other than US English, they all still contain the original EA titles. |

Uh-oh, I think I'm in trouble... I didn't thank you for the tutorial in my recent submission of the IlluminiSim major I created, so here it is now - a maxis-big ta-heaps thankyou to let everyone know how much I appreciated the tutorial. As an aside, I too am looking to make a deeper cut in the game rather than a bunch of little scratches on the surface: an idea where I would start looking in regards to manipulating the 'College - Research...' icon/term paper icon/assignments icon so it displays my custom major, and not the cloned major? I thought if I gave the whole package a specific group assignment (achieved by initially typing the name of the major into the NREF window of the same file and using the group id generated automatically for the rest of the file) it might have worked, but all that did was cause the game to crash out on me - luckily I had saved the 'pre-breaking-the-game' package separately... I'll keep trying, but as I'm still relatively new to this programming/hacking/modding thing, it might take me a really long time. Once again; cheers, big-ears! :D |

You're very welcome, Abrahadarba. I looked into changing those icons a long time ago, but I never got anywhere I'm afraid. I also poked around in the NREFs trying to manipulate linked careers, but with a similar lack of success. Yes you do, mathgirlky. I guess I assumed creators can figure that out  .

This worked great, I haven't read through the other replies, but in case you didn't know, there's a file in the BCONs, Tuning - Start Hour, that lets you choose when classes start, "Tuning - Hours per Day" allows you to change hours that classes take up, and other BCONs seem to control basically everything about the classes for those wanting to get into detail with the points things are worth. |

Did you make sure to click Default Lang Only? |

Err... What do the skill gates do? I'm not really sure what a skill gate is, but I want to have a totally unique major. So what are skill gates and how do you change them? Thanks for the tutorial! |

I don't know - I believe they control the number of skill points at which each grade bubble becomes available, but I don't know how, and I've never tried editing them. If you figure them out, let me know! |

Thanks so much for this lovely tutorial. It was so simple even I could follow it! XD I did have one tiny issue but my first major still works - it just gives an error message when I select 'yes' that I want my sim to change to it. The error doesn't prevent them from switching to the new major, but I'm not sure why it does it all the same. It says: "missing neighbor for data access," claiming the error is with the sim (it said her name anyway.) I checked by switching to a couple different majors and it's definitely the custom one I made and not any others. Any thoughts? If not, no worries. You've definitely done more than enough!

K hi. I have a question I think I already know the answer to. K, so I have a computer at my house with the sims on it. My problem is, there is no internet at my house. I have internet access at the public library. Can I register a GUID through the site there and finish at my place? I have a feeling the answer will be no, but I thought it would be worth asking about. Thanx |
