🎄🎅Merry Christmas!🎅🎄

I’ve been working on this little gift for over a year so it’s high time it made its public debut!

This is a Toy Maker Career & Apprenticeship! Yes, the two together! It’s the first apprenticeship I’ve created since I did my big pack of ten, so I’m delighted to be able to release this at last!

There are a whooping 12 opportunities with the full career, although I have another 9 planned for a hopeful update in the new year.

This can be downloaded at Mod the Sims or over on the Job Centre. Both are exactly the same.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and the best new year! 🎄🎅

Loosely inspired by the Sims 4 Critic Career, I started planning this one when City Living released for Sims 4. 

Splits between Art Critic and Food Critic. Five levels altogether with 7 opportunities.

Welcome to the Techie Keep!

A fun hangout for nerds everywhere! Contains science equipment, dominoes, chess, video games and telescopes. Come and join the fun at the Techie Keep!

Yes, who’d have thought I’d start uploading lots, eh? 😉 Welcome to the Study Inn, a residential dorm for your home world University Sims. 

The lot has six bedrooms; 3 doubles, 2 twin and a single, sleeping a totally of 11 sims, if you so wish! 😊

If placed in the University world, this can be easily turned into an actual, working dorm. If not, it’s a residential to what whatever you please with!

I can’t believe I only discovered this today but I felt it really needed to be shown off a bit for anyone who hasn’t found this before.

This mod not only adds the animation for press ups/push ups but it actually includes them into the ordinary workout. Both strength and cardio workouts now smoothly include this animation.

Sadly, it looks like the creator, Simoro, isn’t around in the community any more. I remember having the Simoro’s Workout mod several years ago and had clean forgotten about until tonight. 

Such a shame because I’d have loved to have seen more of their work 💖💖💖

Is this in addition to the workout mod at Simlogical? I thought it was replaced by the updated workout mod but if it adds more animations I’ll try it out! I love that mod :)

10 Apprenticeships for your teens! These are essentially teen part time jobs but do promote into full time careers upon aging up.

The Apprenticeships are: Accounting, Construction Building, Hospitality and Catering, ICT, Learning and Development, Music Business, Property Services, Sporting Excellence, Vehicle Maintenance and Repair and Veterinary Nursing.

Another of my ‘Degree’ Careers, this time in Accounting and Finance!

Promotes into my Accountant Career.

Requires the University expansion pack.

This is packed! 🖤 Thanks, Missy :)

Brand new Environmental Scientist Career! Contains 7 levels with 13 opportunities. Requires University.

Thank you to @desiree-uk and @nostalgiagamez for testing!

It was my pleasure! I wish I could’ve tested more, but RL has been very selfish lately :p

This career will take place in my marine lab with Arsil’s RH door for custom careers :)

Job Overhaul Gameplay

I’ve started playing around with the new Job Overhaul mod by Gamefreak130. As requested by @bordelinski, I’m sharing some screenshots. I’ll do this in a few parts but I love what this mod has added.

Part 1: The Settings

Firstly, the whole mod is customisable on a per-savegame basis but there’s an option to export your settings (like Story Progression) and import settings, so you can use them over and over.

The menu is really straightforward to use. They’re all fairly self explanatory but Gamefreak130 goes into detail about each one on the download page.

When you go to ‘Career Availability’, all the careers in your game show up - including the custom ones. 

By clicking on any career (I’ve used my Accountant career to show how this works with the custom careers), you get these two menu options. The first is to decide whether this career is available for applications and the second is to decide whether this career requires a degree to join and if so, which one (how cool is that?)

If you click on the Interviews menu option, you get the same list of available careers. By selecting one, you get these options come up. You can choose which traits will be likely to negatively impact your chances of getting the job, which ones will positively impact your chances and which skills are required to increase your chances. You also decide here whether this job requires an interview or not.

That’s all for the settings. Part 2 on its way!

Ooh, you can choose the degrees required for each job! Fantastic :)

Part 3: Interviews

This part got really fun. I fast-forwarded through to Monday morning because I was dying to see what the interviews were like. 

Firstly, you get a notification one hour before your interview and from then onward, you get an option to go to the interview at the rabbithole.

Note: It looks like the sims switch to formal wear before the interview. I like this idea, it means they’ll look a bit more professional.

In future, I’ll have to add a second, job interview, formal outfit for each sim, LOL! Blair was attending an interview for a position as a Vet in this outfit! *facepalm*

Once your sim gets to the interview, you get a couple of notifications where your sim is answering questions. These were the notifications I got for Blair, Tamara and Stiles.

Tamara’s answers had me cracking up. Especially as she applied for the Accountant job. I couldn’t believe how perfect her second answer was (a lie though it might be!).

After 1 hour, the interview is done.

Stiles and Blair got their jobs! I like the moodlet they get when they get a successful interview:

Tamara, however, didn’t get the job. I can’t say that I’m surprised…

I guess she’s back on the job market then!

Overall, I love what this mod has added to the job search for Sims. It feels a little more realistic and I love it!

I love it! I'm trying it out also :) I like the NRaas-type menu to change lots of settings.

10 Extra Afterschool Activities! These include: Ceramics, Woodworking, Metalworking, Astronomy, Creative Writing, SimFu, Watersports, Young Thespians Drama Club, Driving Lessons and Photography.

i didn’t think you could come up with more great activities than the ones we’ve already got, but I was wrong! These are fantastic, Thank you, Missy :)
