Restaurant Host career
March 18, 2023: Updated with secondary language strings for translating
I wanted some more everyday jobs for my sims, something akin to working in a pub/fast food place, and I offer you the Restaurant Host career! Can be joined from the Diner in town. This is a career with only one level and no progression; I made this mostly for gameplay flavour. Eventually I'd love to add a script that adds a random tip amount each shift, so if anyone has ideas for how to do this, please let me know.
Job offer text: "Cafés, diners, and bistros are popping up on every street, and all of them need staff. It's not glamorous and the work is hard, but restaurant hosts welcome customers in from the cold, offering friendly chatter and cozy booths. Keep the food coming and the drinks flowing, paste on a smile and wear sensible shoes. Just remember - the customer isn't always right."
Restaurant Host, (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 50 simoleans p/h, 6pm - 12pm midnight): "Delivering food, refilling drinks, presenting bills - the life of a restaurant host never stops. You'll need to answer questions on the fly and sibstitute ingredients on a whim, all the while being polite to demanding customers. Rushed off your feet? That's an understatement."
Has three custom skill tones:
Clean Tables (boost performance, lower hygiene)
Cook Food (increases Cooking)
Tend the Bar (increases Mixology)
Translating: I'm not fluent enough in any other languages to translate, so if you're interested in translating this career into your own language, please download the Language Strings file and open in up in Notepad.

Do this for the entire file, then attach the translation to a comment and I'll update as soon as possible!
Credits: I used MissyHissy's - Creating A Sims 3 Career: The Mega Tutorial to make this; highly recommend if you want to make your own custom careers.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
