Default First Time Modding a Custom Career Need Help
Hello, I'm hoping to get some help with my first custom career. I followed MissHissy's tutorial very carefully and slowly. But at the end I must be doing something wrong.
The career shows up at the rabbithole with the joincareer and numbers. I then followed the last part, but the career still shows with the numbers. It is also missing the title and descriptions.
MissHissy's forum is closed now, so I can't ask for help there unfortunately.

If anyone can help, I would be very grateful! I spent so many hours on this.

Update: I’ve been managing to figure some issues out on my own. The join career is now showing along with the description but now the regular tones; meet coworkers, is fine except for my added ones. They show up as the title and description in the drop down menus: example, play video games playing video games will improve your skill and help you advance etc..

As for the performance bar not looking like it’s reading the skill. I think it’s a typo. I still have to troubleshoot.

Update: I managed to figure it all out. I followed the advice of ThomasRiordan and the proper join title showed as for the other issues, I had to replace the DLL files, make sure the titles were the same as xml files like career title_careers.xml in the DLL xml file. I also had to redo the English.STBL after that. Also checking the script errors really helped for typos and finding out the DLL couldn't read the english career xml. I also have to say that Nraas SP kinda messes with the tones so I took SP out and my career works fine now. I just wanted to add all this in case it can help someone else with the same issues.
