Same as Slow Dance.
Only that you have to choose Dance ... Classic.



What are the chances a Sim never gets promoted? Like, never.
All the requirements are met, job performance bar has been full for let's say 10 Sim days, and he never gets promoted. Seems fishy. His boss must hate him!
Is there any way I can force the game to promote him? Some cheat or whatever?

I know how to dance together, and to dance slow dance, but not dance a classical dance. Their relationship is very high, they are both in love with each other.


It should come up in the pie menu as Dance...Classic. I normally find it on the second page of interactions. I've just looked up and your need AL for it, though.

You can change the career level with several cheat objects - I personally use Sim Blender. Not quite the same as promotion, since they won't get the bonus, and it won't fulfill a want if they have it, but the same end result.

I would do that in SimPE.
But I do want him to fulfill the want. And get the bonus if possible. But the important part would be the want.

Depends what you're doing. I used it to expand a lot and had no issues. I tried to shrink a lot and it wouldn't let me. I don't use the other functions, so I can't speak to those.

ALWAYS back-up first.

Do you have a job stopinator in his pocket or any kind of mod what hardens promotions? It's not normal.

No, I don't. I've never used them.
And the rest of the Sims are getting promoted as usual, he's the only one stuck in the Lvl 1 job.
It's very weird indeed.

I guess I'll try to level him up in SimPE and see if he gets unstuck. Or maybe quit the job and get hired again.
Might not work but it's worth trying.

You can level him up in game on the simblender. Just select job level.

I'm editing cameras and various info around the web says that, when modifying the game cameras, you can go in and out of the game without quitting and reloading while testing different parameters just by saving the file, because the game will reload the camera. I have never seen this work in my game. Is this something that maybe was true, but no longer is in UC, or am I missing something? It would be much more convenient if it worked that way, so I'd love to hear how.

Also, is there a hard limit to how close the Neighborhood camera can zoom in?

Edukashunisgud by Cyjon will stop them from getting too far in their careers if they didn't go to college. Also a Pescado hack, maybe Harderjobs? That stops you from getting ten mayors and similar positions that should only logically have one, at the same time. Neither should stop the sim at level 1, but both will at some point. So you might look if you have those, especially if you have them in a version incompatible with your game.

I use Jessa's camera mod tweaked by CTNutmegger and that is at zoom 1, which I think is as close as it will go.

Almost all of them say zoom 1 (I've only seen one that doesn't). It's the smallest number after that which seems to determine how close it will go. I've already got it lower than theirs, but it seems to hit a limit.

These are the numbers on mine
zoom 1 (1400 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300)

Is the lifetime want marry off six children broken/won't get fulfilled? I think I have read that it is so.

Yes, I know. I have mine down to 188 (closer than their 300), but that's as close as I've gotten it, so far. I'm wondering if another command limits that, so I'm still experimenting.

EDIT: I've got one I'm happy with and shared it on my simblr. Now, on to the build camera.

More important was my other question: How do people test the cameras without reloading the game? Because I cannot get that to work and I'd love to.

@Amura - I have had a Sim now and then who just does not get promoted to the top of his career - it does not happen too often, but it certainly does. I would also like how to fix that without using the blender, because I would also like to take care of the want.

@candyboot - marry of 6 children - a difficult want; because having 6 kids is quite hard already, except if you have a family sim with 3 pairs of twins or something who lives for a very long time. I don't think it is broken, though.

@Candyboot, you may be thinking of the coding error that prevents vanilla same-sex marriage - joined unions - from being recognized as filling the requirements of the want. There's a mod for that, thank goodness.

You don't actually need six kids to fill the want, by the way. If one kid gets married six times, it still works. Bit more chaotic, though!

Well, in my case it seems it got fixed

I set his job performance in SimPE to 1000 instead of 100, just in case.
I also checked carefully all my mods, and removed the only one that was related to promotions (the job performance one by simler90).
Played the household again and my Sim was promoted...
Which of the two actions unstuck him I can't say for sure, or if it was all a coincidence. But apparently it was fixed.

That mod drastically decreases the chance of promotion. Why didn't you mention you had it installed earlier, when you insisted you didn't have any mod like that installed?

If you had to color code the families of Veronaville, what colors would you pick for which family? Would Capps be red? Or Blue? I'm thinking Summerdreams would be yellow or green... Thoughts?

(Btw, if anyone is curious I'm in Veronaville designing a cemetery for the Capps because I don't want to keep all those ghosts on the lot. It occurred to me that I should put out some flowers in the Capp signature colors, but I had no idea what that would be.)

I always thought of the Capps as blue and the Montys as red, which goes back to how I thought of the original families in Shakespeare. Summerdreams are definitely green.

I was leaning that way. Does it make a difference if Capps are landowners/farmers and the Montys are merchants?

That makes me prefer that color scheme even more strongly, purely because in Crusader Kings II characters have a ribbon around their picture based on their government type and feudal lords have a blue ribbon and merchants have red ribbon.

To be honest, I had forgotten about it and only found it after checking my downloads files. I got a bunch of mods from the same author, but I should go thru them and double check which ones I really need.
Anyway, that mod is supposed to make it harder as levels go up, but just a little harder on level 1.
Still it's an oddity, everyone else got promoted several times, he had not got any promotion at all ever in his lifetime (he's about to become an elder) despite having max performance.

I asked earlier about whether I could get the neighborhood camera closer for doing hood deco and didn't really get an answer to that, but I've figured it out, so will share the result in case of searches later. I have posted the camera that can do it on on my simblr. It gets this close (pic attached) without jumping up hills and such, perfect for lining up those fiddly deco bits. It also zooms out to a top down view of the entire map for checking out terrains without flying off into space, since I've been making those lately and wanted to get overall views. Of course, it still lets you play comfortably in the hood and move to all corners to place lots.
