I am trying to make it so that you have to start on Level 1, but can't get it to work....


I had the same problem! And my test Sims didn't have any skill points, so this was really weird for me. Anybody have any info about this?

Default No money bonus for each level...
Hi there ... and ... Merry Christmas!!!!

I've made my first career, starting from Emma's Template and it works quite well (many thanks Emma!!!!) ... but my sim doesn't get money bonus when he gets promotion.

He meets all the requirements to be promoted (skills, job performance and friends) and he changes career level without "congratulation" music, without description balloon (of the actual level) on the upper right corner and (mainly) without bonus money.

I would like to point out that this is not a chance card problem. I've not yet created chance cards because I would like to solve my problem before continuing my work.

Thanks for your help.

Help!!
If on your list level 5 chance card option A good was a bonus of $50 then type 50 in 0x1 dec box and then if level 4 chance card option A good was a bonus of $500 then type 500 into 0x5 dec box and so on

what does that mean? Why level 5 in 0x1 and level 4 in 0x5??? I dont quite get it.

Please help?

It really seems like I am too silly to do careers...
How can it be, that strink is from 1-14 if there are only 10 joblevels????

And the other problem is: Everytime I click save or save as, it will save as a data, but not as a DBPF package. So my game can not read the package

I got to the part where you put in the job title and descriptions and got stuck. Since you said you type in string and don't do anything with the Desc box, I figured that was where you put the description of the first job in the career. And since I couldn't see any other place, I figured that "filename" was the most likely place for putting name of the first job in the career. (Ex: Dishwasher for the first job in the culinary career.) That doesn't seem to be correct, though, because when I clicked on the next one down (0x0002), the filename stayed the same. What am I doing wrong?

Like Tig said, good things take time- no career that I have created took less than two weeks to create, including writing, thinking of things and spell and grammar checking. If you're looking for something that yields faster results, try recolouring or maybe even clothing creation. If you don't have the patience then careers won't be for you.



xD I was about to ask the same thing, but that's more because I've almost given up on the genre my current career is for (a career that'd work for my Victorian females) but I want to see it through, so yeah. Thanks for warning me, Lol.

'File Name' is the title for the job itself, I believe, or the title for the file, I'm not exactly sure which and I'm sure a double-check, for me at least, would explain. xP
In any case, the place where you thought the description goes is where the JOB TITLE goes. One line below it, however, is the DESCRIPTION. I think she explained this thoroughly, but maybe not.

It only changed after I added strings.


Sorry if someone already asked you this, but has your female sim gone to sim-college. Some careers are affected by that. Of course, I'm not very good at custom careers, so this may be a retarded reply. xD Still, in the default careers, then if your sim goes to college, they start out in many jobs with a higher level.

I can't save. Whenever I try to save, the file saves as a .BAK file and I can't open it.

#114 Old 27th Jan 2007 at 5:55 AM
The .bak file is a back-up file SimPE creates when you edit your package. The .bak file can be opened by changing the file extension to .package, but it won't contain your latest changes. The actual package file should be the one that's the latest saved version.

I think i've made something wrong...
It works in the game, there are just 2 little things that are wrong. The first thing is, that in the moment you accept the job, you seem to already have the 6th grade of the career. I mean, it shows the title and description of 0x000B and 0x000C. I can't find my mistake.
The second is the upper category. Where can I chance that? It says law for me now, but I want sports.
I hope you understand what I mean ^^'
