I really want to use this mod, but I am getting tons of errors. I'll post them here if needed. I haven't tried it on a new save so I could do that and see what happens.

Wow, this is indeed a 'labour of love'. I can't wait to try all this out. But I do have a couple of suggestions:-

1. It would be a nice touch if sims entering the Movie career could attend an 'audition' rather than an interview.

2. Also it would be rather neat if sims who have attended the Ballet and/or Drama Club after school activities stood a higher chance of getting the gig.

Like I said, they're just suggestions, and I wouldn't have the first idea how to create a mod myself, so I've no idea if it would possible to integrate these ideas into yours. If not, as an old dancer and actor, I'm well used to hearing "...don't call us, we'll call you" so I won't mind.

Thank you for the suggestions! Having after school activities influence the chance of success would be difficult to implement, and Drama Club builds the Charisma skill, which is already a "Required Skill" for the Film career by default. However, renaming "interviews" to "auditions" is doable, and I'll definitely consider it for a future release

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Stopping the script errors should be an easy fix, but I'm still looking into preserving OnceRead functionality with my mod installed. I'll push an update out as soon as I can.

Please upload them so I can take a look; I can't fix errors if I don't know why they're happening

I feel bad because there are so many. LOL. I also have changed a bunch of settings in retuner if that may be an issue. The ones here I got when I created a new save in Monte Vista.

This is odd, because it looks like all of the NRaas mods you have installed are erroring out when injecting their interactions into the game. Does this happen in both a new game and an existing save? Have you tested with just my mod and NRaas mods installed? Which version of my mod do you have? Have you cleared your caches? What expansions, if any, do you have?

It happens in a new save and in my custom world. I haven't taken out any other mod, besides this one and everything still works. I clear my caches before I start each play session. I have all the expansions installed also. I have the latest July 4th version of this mod. I do have the testing version of Nraas careers installed and Kittythesnowcats version of vector installed. I'll make sure I have all the latest version of the Nraas mods.
I do get conflicts when I run the dashboard tool, but it doesn't say this mod conflicts with anything. Anything else that might help let me know. I have tuned my XMLS quite a bit as well.

This is working. Having a sim look at classifieds now. I guess your mod seems to be fine with the NRaas suite. I need to reorganize my custom content anyway...I guess this will give me the opportunity. I'd have to add things in one by one and see what else is conflicting, right?

Yes, it's likely that my mod is conflicting with another non-NRaas mod. Let me know what you find.

I renamed Sims 3 folder and reinstalled the game and named my folder back to what it was. It seems to be working....no more script errors.

This mod is amazing, this add a whole new and exciting level to my game play. I have installed and tested out the mod and with the adults it works just fine but I am having a little trouble with teens. Not sure if it is indented to work for the teen to have part time jobs or not but when I accepted a Waiting Saturday job (custom career from MissyHissy) my teen went over to the bistro to fill out the application for the job and as soon as he entered the bistro Script Errors started to show in the notification bar but what I found weird was it came in as multiple, over 500 script error. So i'm not sure if I should just disable interviews for part time jobs and these custom Saturday jobs altogether but on the other hand I would really like it if my teens were also able to go on interviews.

I was wondering would it be possible if you could put in an enable and disable function for your mod in game, just like the one that Story Progression has?? It would allow for people to enable/disable the mod in different save files. I know we can just set every job to no interviews but it would consume more time doing that.

I just tested this after backing up my Sims 3 folder and found it annoying to have to disable all job interviews because my apocalypse challenge in Sunset Valley2 is a newly settled colony and has a very small population.I should disable quite a few careers where the rabbit hole isn't present.I've only got my young couple living in SSV2 so far and no script errors for me and I've got only114 NRaas Mod files installed along with awesomemod which is there to disable that broken automated school assingment system.

My mod is, I think, a lot less self-contained than StoryProgression, so I don't think a "disable everything" option is feasible. However, I may be able to fix the errors you're having. There should be multiple script error logs written to your userdata folder; if you upload one here, I might be able to provide a fix.

Gamefreak, I was thinking about a something as a possible suggestion earlier. Not sure if it would be feasible, but thought I'd mention anyway. Could something like how the game handles promotions be altered so that you could be given some agency as to when they occur? I'll explain what I mean. Basically, as you know, the game has a 100% chance of promoting a Sim once they are eligible for a promotion by reaching the top of the progress bar, along with any skill requirements.

What I was thinking, if possible, is having the mod stall your promotion progress once the requirements are met. Instead, once you reach the top, a small chance could occur where you are offered a promotion directly (something like a 10% chance or so by default.) Maybe through something like the chance card dialogue box, such as:

"Congratulations! 1.Sim's boss has been pleased with his/her performance and is offering him/her a promotion."
-Accept Promotion/Decline (If declined, possibly have where the Sim in question could go to the career rabbithole and accept the promotion later once it's already been offered.)

What's nice about this would be that not only would it give some uncertainty to getting promoted, it would also allow you to have the direct choice to promote your Sims or not. I know this is something many people have wanted for years, a way to keep Sims at a certain level of a career instead of progressing all the way to the top every single time. As I said, not sure if any of this would even be possible, but just wanted to throw this out there.

You have been chosen. They will come soon.

That’s a very cool idea! I’d have to look more closely into implementing such a mechanic, but it sounds feasible, and I’ll definitely consider it for a future release!
