Hehehe! My first custom-made major, the Chemistry major! I was wondering why Maxis did not provide Chemistry as a major, so I decided to create one and here it is. Some basic run-down on this major:

GUID: 0x00297C03 (doesn't overwrite Maxis-made majors, nor anyone else's)

Major Icon: From the Science career

Classes:

Chemicals React: The Chemistry Behind the Song
Analytic Study of the Periodic Table: Blame it on Mendeleev

Cations and Anions: Onions not included
Acids, Bases etc: Mix and Match and the Chemicals React

6.0221415 x 10^23: Is Avogadro that free to count every atom in his mole?
Equations in Equilibrium: Arrows just look way better than equals

C, H, O: By their powers combined, I am Organic Chemistry!
Dissertation: Simmonium - Dangerous, hazardous, or deadly?

Focused skills: Logic, Cooking, Creativity, Cleaning

Ideal careers: Science, Natural Science, Medical, Culinary

Instructions: Download 'Majors Made Easier' and install the file into the Downloads folder. Then extract this .package file into the same folder. Load your game and buy the 'Majors Made Easier' object (found under Decorations - Wall Hangings) which costs only §1. Then click on it and select Chemistry major.

Error Reports:
  • When declaring major through the telephone or computer, this major replaces the spot of Biology major. I don't know why this happens though, but one thing for sure, your Sims can still declare Bio major with 'Majors Made Easier' object. The Bio major is not overwrote, its just that Chem took its space instead :P.
  • The major took the ideal careers of Bio, whereas Bio ended up with BLANK ideal careers .
  • The focused skills are wrong and I noticed that other custom majors have the same problem too. Just ignore them and read the one above instead.
  • After completing an assignment/term paper/research/class/Final Exam, the + icon that hovers above the Sims is the Biology icon. I have no idea why and how to fix this.
  • I don't know how to link the ideal careers to this major. Sorry

These small and insignificant errors do not affect game performance in any way, but I'm just letting you guys know. Personally I find them a little annoying though because it feels "odd". At least they're not some major bug or anything . If anyone knows how to solve any of the above issues, please PM me/reply to this thread and I shall love you :lovestruc !!!

Thanks guys for downloading this major in advance, and I hope you enjoy it! (and overlook the mistakes!) Criticisms, praises, correction of mistakes, ideas and suggestions are all welcomed. You may also do any minor modifications to the package file to suit your own needs as well. Happy Simming! :D
