Can you play The X Files theme on a kazoo? Do you spend time arguing that those are definitely ghost photos and not smudged camera lenses? Are aliens really living in the Eiffel Tower? If you're finding yourself pondering the answer to these very real questions, why not give the Cryptozoology career a go? This was another request from Catrillion and I've had great fun making it.
This job is available for YA - Elder, and you can join via the Vault of Antiquity. Please note you will need to either play this in Moonlight Falls or save the VoA lot and place it in another neighbourhood for this to show up in game!
Skills required are Logic, Social Networking, and Photography, so you'll need World Adventures and University for this to work. No opportunities, uniforms, or books.
If you want to use this, you must have Nraas Careers installed for it to show up!
There are three custom tones:
Study Photography Techniques (Photography)
Post To Conspiracy Forums (Social Networking)
Watch the Skies (Logic)
Coworker tones remain unchanged because this is a one man band type of gig! Tones will appear from the first level as I imagine any budding cryptozoologist would be frantically posting to reddit on their phone while at work lmao. There's also no pension because you're a freelancer and cryptozoologists are notoriously poor.
Here are the levels and descriptions if you wish to have a read:
Z Files Fan - 10 simoleans p/h, 17:00 - 21:00, M-F
Description - The proof is out there and the government is lying to you – you don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to figure that out. You tune into The Z Files every day – does City Hall really have a hidden department for this kind of thing? Maybe you should try finding out.
Intern - 25 simoleans p/h, 09:00 - 13:00, M-F
Description - Spurred on by the new friends you’ve made on the cryptid forums, you’ve picked up an intern gig at City Hall to try and snoop around in the filing cabinets. It’s incredibly boring but you’re determined – they must have folders about contact with the Sixam somewhere…
Blogger - 20 simoleans p/h, 17:00 - 22:00, M-F
Description - So, uh… you were unceremoniously fired from the intern job after they caught you trying to open the locked doors. Evidently they’ve got something to hide, and you’ve been building a following documenting your experience. Maybe you can go freelance? After all, there’s always something lurking in the woods.
Amateur Cryptozoologist - 20 simoleans p/h, 10:00 - 19:00, M-F
Description - You’ve set out in your trusty truck to track down your first cryptid – a faerie. Moonlight Falls seems to be where they hang out, and it’s only a short drive from your trailer. The fact that the fey are normal members of society and have mortgages does detract from the mystique a little, but photos of these fine folk will let you have enough money to eat this month.
Junior Cryptozoologist - 25 simoleans p/h, 10:00 - 19:00, M-F
Description - Your photos of the faeries went down well, even if they do look a little like they belong more on Simstagram. Now a few of your followers have reached out to you and asked if you can look into Emily, the Sea Monster of Windenburg. She shows up occasionally in Oldtown, but that place is a snoozefest. Hey, any excuse for a road trip!
Guest Speaker - 40 simoleans p/h, 23:00 - 03:00, M-F
Description - Your last photo made enough waves to get your name out there; suddenly everyone wants to interview you or have you as a guest on their radio shows. Art Knell has invited you in for a chat on Beach to Beach AM, and your photo of Emily is the topic of conversation for the night. Hopefully this will bring in some more business, because rent doesn’t pay itself.
Known Name - 45 simoleans p/h, 10:00 - 19:00, M-F
Description - Your networking has done wonders, and you’re really starting to establish a social media presence. While you’re pondering ideas for your next (self published, cowards) book, you decide you’re going after a unicorn next, so it’s off to Appaloosa Plains for you. Maybe it can graze outside your trailer, and you can charge to open a petting zoo?
Respected Cryptozoologist - 50 simoleans p/h, 10:00 - 19:00, M-F
Description - You’ve obtained the Unicorn’s Blessing and got some lovely photos of its shimmering mane and tail! Obviously you’re not going to give up its location and your fans are getting annoyed, so it’s time to go after the main distraction- uh, prize. Pack your gear – we’re going to look for Bigfoot.
Specialist Cryptozoologist - 55 simoleans p/h, 10:00 - 19:00, M-F
Description - You’re back to your roots in Three Lakes and you’re setting up camp in the woods – Bigfoot, here we come! You’re determined to find its tracks and study its droppings, maybe even get a video to rival the Watterson-Simlin film. You’ve got your energy drinks and waterproof tent, camera at the ready – make sure not to fall asleep!
Expert Cryptozoologist - 60 simoleans p/h, 10:00 - 17:00, M-F
Description - You’ve done it – a tuft of Bigfoot fur, some plaster footprints, and a selfie with the beast himself! Journalists all over the world will be beating down your doors and no one will ever make fun of you again. This is peak cryptozoology, baby – now you definitely won’t be a topic of ridicule when you see the family on Snowflake Day.

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.
