I had to uninstall this because it gave my game lots of glitches. First, my butler got stuck and I had to reset her. Then, I tried to hire a new butler but they never showed up. Since I didn't have a butler, I used the ordering foods mod but the delivery person stopped at the entryway and wouldn't come in. Then I tried going to the consignment shop which was right across the street. It was the middle of the day so it was open but there was no option to sell. I tried buy and the interaction automatically canceled. So, I tried browse. The owner came over and nothing happened. So I canceled the interaction. I tried to leave but my sim was stuck and I reset her. At home I made her cook, which is when I noticed she had no skills showing up. She at least had some photography skills before. This was the only mod I'd downloaded before this happened. Do I need a certain patch? I haven't been able to get the one for generations.

You do have to have the most recent patch for the base game, which is currently 1.29.

It is possible to add icons to these skills?

It probably would be, but I don't know how to do that.

I looked forever to find a hidden skills mod that would work with my game and I finally found yours! YAY!!!! Thank you so much!!!

I do have one question though. Are you going to update the mod to include the new patch - 1.31 and the new EP-SHT?

I've already patched up and the mod still works, but I didn't know if it needed to be updated to include the SHT hidden skills or not. Just wondering.

Again Thank you so much for the mod

I will be updating it for Showtime. I decided rather than checking to see if all my mods needed updating for 1.31, I would just wait until I got Showtime and do everything then; made more sense to me.

And with luck, I should have Showtime before week's end.

I am having the same issue as the poster above me. I installed the mod (I have no other mods) and it made all of my skills disappear. I have the Base game, Late Night, Ambitions and Generations installed (along with some stuffpacks). I'm not sure what the issue is.

Glad you updated, as I love this mod and it was borking my game. Just to let you know, there is indeed golfing in Showtime. I haven't tried it yet, but it is there.

They came out with another patch called 1.32, I interested in this mod and I have no doubt you will update it as soon as you can.

If there is a will, there is a way!

I hope this works with the Showtime skills -- I'd really like to be able to keep track of how I'm progressing.

Is there a way to add icons and change the descriptions? I don't mind to do it by myself but I need some help, maybe a tutorial?

Edit: Well, I tried to add icons by creating packages with IMAG resources, then adding the name between <IconKey></IconKey>, <DreamsAndPromisesIcon></DreamsAndPromisesIcon> & <SkillUIIcon></SkillUIIcon>, similar to the original standard skills but the game didn't show them up, at all. I tried in different ways but with no good results. I couldn't find the description either. If you know how to do these things, please send me a PM, because I'm very interested in adding some skills with descriptions and images, specially the Showtime's professions related (singing, magic, acrobat/performer).

I want to make a suggestion, could you make a picture or a symbol for every hidden skills, it would make it more interesting

does the 1.32 compatible version also work with 1.31 patch or do I need to ask/beg/plead for the 1.31 compatible version?

Any XML mod that woks with 1.31 will work with 1.32 and 1.33.

I've linked to your thread from my skill gain thread, I hope that's okay. I had a few asking for your type of mod..

This doesn't seem to work for me, not sure if it clashes with another mod or not but nothing shows up at all for any of my hidden skills.

It may be conflicting with another mod. I'm not having any issues with it right now. You might want to go through your mods and see if you have any that affect skills.

Does this just change the line in the _xml resouce 'skills' from <Hidden>True</Hidden> to <Hidden>False</Hidden> for all the hidden skills? Or are there more changes/additions?

The hidden DJ turntable skill is apparently only supposed to be 1-5 but according to "skill level" on Nraas Mastercontroller it's 1-10. Now karaoke has this problem as well but the real issue is that once I unintentionally reach level 6 on DJ turntable I lose the ability to play for tips anymore and other sims stop requesting for a change in music. Initially I believed it was an MC issue but after doing some trial-and-error I managed to isolate that it was actually this mod responsible for increasing the skill cap. *Please fix I do love using this mod*
