This looks great! I notice that the higher position, the less time it takes to work(by an hour), which is a reward in itself, I suppose.

Looks interersting. From the pics it seems to be interesting, but you might want to fix some spelling errors.

Hey Emma,

A great career, but I've found that when you get promoted the promotion blurb doesn't come up and you don't get your bonus. My Sim is still getting his daily pay, and that does go up ok, it's just the promotion bit that doesn't work.

Very nice! I have to test it still. I know how troublesome it is to make a career (how long it takes just to plan and lay-out the career options, chance cards, etc.), but I tend not to download careers (no matter how good they are) if their icons don't look good. Could you please provide a screenshot of the career icon?

Cuteness! I just watched MIB for the bazillionth time the other night. This is a very sweet career you've made. It took me about thirteen readings for me to understand the sentence structure in the second screenshot, but my addled brain finally caught up.
I'm excited to try it out! Thanks!
Always,
Emma

Could someone please tell me if it overwrites anything? I will not download a custom career unless there are guid specifications. Thank you.

Hi Emma,

I tried to test your career, but I got by accepting the job the following error message: Error: You sent me a crappy GUID, please fix it.

I still tooked the job for my guy and he went to work. His first day at work, and when he came home with the first promotion, I got the same error message and the guy didn't got payed at all.

I tried it with a new character, but after taking the job the error message came up again and I changed the job.

I have all expansions packs but not that small fun pack crap from Maxis.

Log entries from the error messages are in the rar file and I hope it will help us to fix something, because I like an unsual carrer like this one.

This seems to be a pretty nicely written career --the chancecards as shown in the screencaps seem pretty cool --but it would be even nicer if:

1. the work hours for the last 3 levels were a little more believeable, even in a make-believe world. (Seriously, does anyone think Agent J, K, or Z earn their paychecks by working 3 hours or less per day?? ) I believe it's okay to increase their salaries (to a certain extent), but the hours? *sucks breath in through teeth* I seriously hope you'll consider adding maybe 2, or better yet, 3 more hours per work day for the last 3 levels.

2. you could indicate clearly whether a new GUID was used, Group ID was fixed, etc. I'm guessing you did, seeing as you wrote a beginner's tutorial on creating custom careers, but I also believe in indicating so clearly in the topic post, as it would give users ease of mind to download and use this hack;

3. an picture of the career icon were uploaded.

I understand there are some new careers submitted lately where the hours are ludicrously short (to nonexistent) , the salaries are through the roof , and the odds of getting a bad outcome from chance cards are 0. I chose not to post on those threads, as I believe they are lost causes.

I'm having a really weird problem with this career. The days it says in the blurbs that the Sim works are not the same as the days highlighted, or the times either. So I keep getting messages that my sim is late for work, or has missed work on days or times that the carpool doesn't even show up.

Sounds fun, mmh...sim "Esmé Zurich enjoys everyday activties like any other sim in Pleasantview; gardening, dancing, yoga but it's not what it looks like she works for a secret organization." It's getting me excited! Thanks a million for this.
