Just cross posting this from my Reddit thread, hope that's allowed.

If you've ever played The Sims 1, which if you're in this subreddit, you probably have, and you know that every job in the game requires you to make a lot of family friends. You might want to avoid having a Sim go to work in order to stay at home all day and call every family friend to keep the friendship score up.

Of course, this is more problematic if you picked up The Sims 1 Legacy Collection and have never played The Sims 1 before and wonder why you can't get any promotions.

Now, there is a mod that already exists just for the fame career that was introduced with The Sims Superstar, which made me want to make this one.

Using the Widescreen Patcher for Sims 1 with the Legacy Edition files, since it has a career editor built-into it now, I went through every career, every level, and removed the friend requirement. I might have missed one or two. Or it might not work with the Complete Collection files, but from some other people testing it, it appears to work even if someone isn't running the Legacy collection

The file is on the forums here. Just extract the work.iff file into the ExpansionShared folder itself. The only thing in it by default is just the SkinsBuy folder, the Sound folder, and the ExpansionShared.far file. If you already have a work.iff file, then you already have something modifying careers. Back it up if you're worried.

I used https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1...escreen-Patcher to make the mod, since it comes with a career editor that appears to have worked for The Legacy Collection.

Thanks so much bro. I played the sim 1 since cdrom, and I really hate the friendship to get a promotion

Thanks for sharing this! I don't mind the regular friendships for careers so much even if it is annoying, but playing Superstar since release and getting several Sims to 5-star I was always driven bonkers by the friend requirements on top of everything else you need to do to progress, it always just seemed an unnecessary headache especially with the whole "won't talk to you if you're below their star level thing".

I only play the CD-ROM versions, and can confirm that both the Fame career mod and your mod work on both Complete Collection and original non-CC Sims 1 CD-ROM with a few expansions installed.

Thank you so much! Keeping friends on sims 1 is literal hell on earth. This has saved me

The vanilla friendship decay only becomes manageable with spells, it almost feels parodic in a way.
