Updated! Chance Card Money rewards fixed

Hi everyone. The file is now an updated version, as I had made the mistake of not taking into account a factor of 1000 in the chance card money rewards for the top four levels. Please just overwrite your old file with this in your downloads folder. It means you only lose 30 thousand or gain 50 thousand for top level instead of 30 and 50 million! Ooops!

Enjoy.

Hi everbody!

Always wanted your Sim to be the maid, the gardener, the fireman? Now's your chance! This is currently an adult only career, 10 stages all with chance cards.

As it's my first upload I'm open to criticism and certainly to help improving my work! (It only took me all weekend to get it right!) I have run an extensive test and I know all promotions worked for me. I cant guarantee the same for chance cards but the ones I have tried have been fine. There is an icon but its not great. The career is based on the culinary career but does not overwrite it. It uses the culinary reward too.

The stages are:
1- Postman/woman
2- Delivery Driver
3- Bartender/maid
4- Gardener
5- Housekeeper/Maid
6- Handyman/woman
7- Exterminator
8- Fireman/woman
9- Social Worker
10- Grim Reaper's Assistant.

I'm sure there will be hundreds of typos so please let me know of any annoying ones you find.

KNOWN ISSUES-
(None of these cause problems in the career, they're just irritating me a bit. If anyone has a solution please let me know)

1- Outfits.
a) When using an outfit such as Delivery driver or gardener, the cap overides your sims hair. This is oddest for the female maid, as you will get a whole new style, and some of the others give your sims diff hair colours. This only happens in work clothes. When you're back in everyday your sims hair will go back to normal too.
b) The Handyman outfit did not work, I assume as it is an elder outfit. I therefore used the gas-station worker overalls.
c) The social worker outfit didn't work becuase there was no male version. Instead I used a power suit.
d) When your sim is an elder, a lot of the outfits will stop working, and you will go to work in your everyday clothes. It's a shame cos the Reaper one is cool! Anyone know a way round this?

2- Cars. Originally I planned to use the service vehicles. However, I managed to get them to show up on time but when they did they acted as a service (ie. the deliery van showed up to take me to work, but instead delivered groceries, the maid got out and cleaned my house etc.) and my sims would not go to work. In this version normal car pool cars are used, but if anyone knows how to convert service cars to carpool cars then please let me know cos that would be the finishing touch!

Hope you all enjoy this. Many thanks to psion, who's tutorial made this possible. My next project will be a nocturnal career track to suit my beloved vampire. Anybody got any suggestions for jobs then let me know.

Thanks again. Do not put on other sites. This is a MTS2 exclusive to say thanks to all those who's work I now have in my game.
