This mod enables regular wants to Get a Job in university careers and restricts other full-time career wants by interests.
University careers are -- Artist, Paranormal, ShowBiz, Natural Scientist.
Limits are not too bad, sims still roll a bunch of career choices.
Requirements
University EP and Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden. Ultimate Collection also works.
Files & Versions
WantTrees_AL_UniCareers - all changes for Apartment Life
WantTrees_AL_UniCareers_NoHobbies - no changes to hobby trees, for Apartment Life
WantTrees_MG_UniCareers - all changes for Mansions and Ultimate Collection
WantTrees_MG_UniCareers_NoHobbies - no changes to hobby trees, for Mansions and Ultimate Collection
Bonus: getUniCareerWithoutEducation - so that non-graduates can find a job in Uni careers. If you have another mod to unlock them, you don't need this file.
Installation
1. Download ONE version of WantTrees for your game
2. Optionally, download getUniCareerWithoutEducation
3. Unzip all archives to get packages from them
4. Find Wants folder in your latest EP location. For the Ultimate Collection it would be somewhere here: \Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Wants
5. Make a backup copy of WantTrees.package
6. Replace the original file with my WantTrees.package
7. Put getUniCareerWithoutEducation in your Downloads folder, if you downloaded it
Uninstallation
Simply replace edited WantTrees.package with your backed up copy of the original file. Remove getUniCareerWithoutEducation.
Known Issues
Sims may roll new wants even if they haven't graduated university, but the careers are normally not available for uneducated sims. I suggest using getUniCareerWithoutEducation or a similar mod to unlock them. You don't have to, though.
Conflicts
Any mod that edits want trees file. If you want to combine several mods, copy paste individual trees from my file to your WantTrees.package.
