I've used several of your mods (horror books, tourist signs and t shirts) and have had success with them. (My Sims really enjoyed them!!) Not so with the acting career. I didn't install the NPC, though--does that matter? Immediately upon opening the game, I got an Exception. The report didn't say to report it to the creator as it had said for another mod in the past so perhaps I'm not supposed to write this here (apologies if that's the case). The BE report said there was "bad tuning" and to delete the mod and see if there was an update.... Thank you for creating this mod--I was finally looking forward to having Sims enter the acting career.

If you have all three sets of files (the mod, the posters, and the NPC) installed, it should work on both PC or mac (I have it working on both). After I got your message, I had a friend install all three and it's not producing an exception for him on his Mac.

The career mod does reference the NPC; I did not think his absence would cause an exception, but I did not TEST that. Please try installing the NPC and let me know whether that fixes the problem.

Default help please...
Hello,

I love this mod but I have tried to install it several times, but everytime I try to play it says the action file is corrupted... Could I be doing something wrong?
thank you so much for your hard work and help.

First: do you have all the packs that it requires? Did you install all three sets of files (the career mod, the NPC, and the posters)?

Hm. It's a mod with a lot of moving pieces (providing opportunity for, say, a conflict with some other mod). But I'm not able to replicate my program, either with my own computers (one PC, one Mac) or on those of friends (one with PC, one with Mac). Is there any information you can give me about the error you are getting?

I am very sorry it is not working for you. IS it not working for you? Because the exception notice you got was from MCCC, well, that likes to flag all sorts of things, even those that are working. As I mentioned in a reply to the one other person who messaged that they were having a problem, '"It's 's a mod with a lot of moving pieces (providing opportunity for, say, a conflict with some other mod). But I'm not able to replicate my program, either with my own computers (one PC, one Mac) or on those of friends (one with PC, one with Mac).

I do so want to you be able to use it, i find it great fun!

Hi Scipio, very excited to play with this mod - just what I've wanted for a while. Better Exception has pulled up the following tuning errors for me upon load of a household (no Sim is in the career in this household):

Invalid Tuning
Scipio_GenreActor_N1NH17XHIW2:LikeLoot
Scipio_GenreActor_YQQYVEE9PV2:LikeLoot
Scipio_GenreActor_DiscussActionFilms
Scipio_GenreActor_SocialInteractionDiscussRomanceFilms
Scipio_GenreActor_Enthusewith2SimFirstNameaboutRomanceFilms
Scipio_GenreActor_Enthusewith2SimFirstNameaboutActionFilms

I don't know if this is useful to you or not, but I hope it is. Thanks for the mod and please let me know if it's any user error or my part or anything else I should be doing. (i have all packs, all kits, and all three files)

Thanks! But ... is it working? My experience has been that "exception fnding" programs can be.... oversensitive.
