Hey everyone. This is my very first modding project because I think these careers would really complement the game.

I'm going through, adding chance cards, etc. However I would really like to add custom work outfits/use outfits from CAS already in game. I've found tutorials but I'm struggling find GUIDs (for example, the tie dye outfit for males --> Counter Culture career). Any advice would be helpful. I've figured out how to use Bidou's Career Editor to change work outfits with what is available there; I can see you can do custom and use GUIDs, but beyond that I can't figure it out.

Also, I'd like to change the bonus for each promotion but I can't seem to find that either.

Thank you.

Your endeavour to give a custom career an outfit that isn't already a career outfit will unfortunately not be an easy one.

You'll basically have to scramble together the 3D ID Referencing Files (3IDR) for each different age and gender that the outfit has assigned and merge them into a single package to give them a GUID, because:

A tutorial on how to give clothes a GUID to assign them as career outfits can be found here: https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=129052
You'll just have to disregard the first steps as they talk about CC clothes, not Maxis clothes.

Tbh I don't even know where you'd find the 3IDR resources for Maxis clothing, but good places to check would be the SimsXX.package files in the Sims3D folder, or the objects.package in the Objects folder.

As for your other question on changing the promotion bonus - you cannot do this easily. The bonus is directly tied to the wages you set for the career you are creating, and by default the bonus is always double of the new job level's pay (as an example, if a Sim gets promoted from Level 1 to Level 2, they'll bring home the daily pay for Level 2 plus double of this Level 2 pay as the bonus on top). To change that, you'd have to modify either the Sub - Level Change BHAV or the SG - Tuning BCON of the JobDataGlobals, but that would change the bonus for ALL careers, not just the one you're working on.

All career GUIDs are here. It also shows how to find GUIDs for career outfits, which should also be able to find GUIDs for all maxis clothes.
