There are no stupid questions! Trust me, sometimes it only takes a second set of eyes to see something we may have missed.

Did you change any of the levels by removing them during the creation of your career in the tool? That can sometimes cause issues.

Another possible cause could be if you've used characters other than letters and standard punctuation in your level title or description.

And to be sure, check that you've got the ts4script file installed that you created using the .py file that was exported with your career. I've seen problems like this when people don't have it, or haven't created it correctly, even though it's only supposed to be for the Paid Time Off function.

Finally, my standard recommendation, if all else fails, and you get no better response at the forum, is to recreate the career from scratch. A pain, yes, but you can use copy and paste to fill in the levels and descriptions fields

Thank you so much for your reply, I started again and have cleared the on problem but gained another

My adult male can have a normal job and use the swimming class i made as a weekend activity or afterschool
My young adult female can only have one or the other it makes her quit
teen girl can have school scouts and swimming
teen boy can have school scout and swimming
child can have school dance scouts and swimming

ive aged up my female young adult but that dont' help im so confussed ?? anyone have any ideas i would be so greatful
thank you

Did you create a mod for swimming classes? I'm asking because I'm concerned that there may be a conflict. Does this problem occur with any other careers, either from the game or custom? Unfortunately, though, I won't be able to help on this issue because it will be technical, either way. I recommend you bring this up with Neia on the Create-a-Career forum thread.

Hi again and thank you for reply,
Yes I made Swimming Class Ive not tested all careers just the ones that my sims already had, I will do that tho and see what happens
thank you

Can anyone confirm if the level descriptions actually show up anywhere in game? I'm making a career with 12-14 branches, each will have 4-6 levels. So I don't want to spend months writing level descriptions if they don't show up in-game.

They sure do!

Just wanted to that this thread helped so much! I was able to make a 3 tier Hero career for my My Hero Academia mods I'm making. If I can figure out how to make chance cards I'd be thrilled, so if anyone has a link or any info that'd be appreciated. Only problem is that if you quit or get fired, you don't have the option to choose a different Hero path if you want to apply again, not sure I can fix that though.

That's awesome! I'm happy to have helped

Chance cards have been made by a couple of people out there on the web, but none have as yet been uploaded to MTS. If you go into Sims4Studio's extraction tool, you can find the chance cards that are provided by the game. Modifying them to fit your career is complicated, but we know it can be done. We don't have any tutorials on here, and I don't know of any offsite either, sorry! I've looked at trying my hand at them, too, because it would be awesome, but I'm put off by the time involved in getting it done right, without knowing exactly what I'm doing You can certainly give it shot, though!

Careers are like that. Once you pick a track, it doesn't seem to want to let you back into the beginning after quitting or getting fired. I'm not sure if that's a game flaw or what. Possibly something to ask Neia on the Create-a-Career forum, or perhaps see if it happens on a Maxis career as well.

Keep on simming!

Thanks! Yea I've seen some things here and there about cards, but nothing specific. I'll probably just continue with costume mods. Now I need to see if i can make customizable work uniforms!

I bet your Hero career would be interesting to other players. You could give uploading it on MTS a shot, following the Creator Guidelines for Careers, of course

Wow, thanks for this tutorial..I'm actually feeling confident enough to try my hand at this

Awesome! Let us know how it turns out

literally wont work, my file that i extracted that is suppose to have a .py at the end does not have .py. when placed in python33 and i do the cmd it says syntax error

okay figured it out. you have it written don to place in python file, but it goes in the python-lib folder. anyways. now if i make multiply careers do i need to place mulltiple nieie career common packages if they give them to me in the export?

Judging by your issues, it looks like I need to take another look at the progression of the Create-a-Career tool, and the Python sequence, because I've not heard of the necessity of accessing the python-lib folder. As for the .py file, that is extracted in step 11, directly from the file you get when you export your career. At least it was, and I'm going to go look on the tool site to see if it's changed

You only ever need one Careers_Common.package in your Mods folder, so make sure you have the latest one relative to your Game Version. Each time you export a career from the tool, you'll usually get that file because it can't distinguish if you already have it from a previously exported career.

If you're planning on uploading a career, there are 3 scenarios:

1-No Careers_Commons.package file required as the career only uses the Base game skills.
2-Yes Careers_Commons.package file required and you can include it in the .zip that you upload.
3-Yes Careers_Commons.package file required and you don't have to include it but link to the latest one on Neia's tool site



now I'm off to see about any new updates...thank you for your questions!

Edit: the placement of the python files is still the same, with the exception of the Python version you use, which is now 3.7. I'm not sure what happened with your exported files that the .py wasn't in there, but it should be

yeah, hey so python 37 wont install into my pthon37 folder i made. i tried auto install and custom and nothing. didnt work. what do i do. can i still use the old python if i reinstall it

nvm lol i guess 3rd times the charm ehh. finally worked. dont know what i did differently though

im having a real issue. everything in game works. i did a career with 4 branches. the first thing that pops up when you first get the career, the title is blank?! but its showing 15$ and hour and objectivs. ive triple checked everything and its stll blank. and there is no reason it should be. but when promoted its not blank and everything works fine.

Hello!

I responded to your modding discussion post before I saw this

Here's what I wrote:

Without looking at the files, it's hard to determine what could be wrong, but you may be able to sort it out using Sims4Studio.

If you open your .package in S4S, click on the STBL (String Table) for English (or whatever language you're comfortable with), then Edit items over on the right, your in game career text comes up and if there are any blank spots, these could be your problem. I recommend asking on Neia's forum, however, if you haven't already, just in case someone there can give you more technical help. I have noted that some people with similar problems also may have some characters in their career text that the game doesn't like. For example, numbers, special characters like &%$#, etc, can cause problems, so double check that you don't have any of those in there.

Hope this helps!

anyone know whats going on with the career creator tool. is it getting updated?

hi guys sorry if this has been answered but i cant seem to find an answer anywhere i have installed two mod careers but there is no description while i go to choose career am i doing something wrong or has the update messed things up?

Yes, it's most likely the update causing issues. Neia's really good about updating the tool, so once that happens, creators will have to update their careers again and then they should work. Thanks for your patience everyone!

The latest patch broke custom text, but there's a workaround that can be used until the next patch.

Thank you so much for posting the workaround. I have added it to the tutorial and my careers with a credit to you for bringing it to my attention :lovestruc

Can I use this tool to creat actives careers like Doctor, detective, scientist or actor?
