    I solved it by going to the browser setting and clearing the history for the day. I hope that a better option is able to be found though.

    Did not work out in my case. And the Problems vary: one time my whole Career is gone. Next time Career Branches appear as Careers. Very, very strange. Paranormal!

    My first Career and all in all first Mod is on now - Neia, thank you so much! Works great!

    Thank you for this tool, Neia. It must have been a lot of work!
    Do you keep a log of the changes you make? Or somewhere I can subscribe to be notified when the tool is updated? I would gladly subscribe to a patreon or similar for something like that.

    Thank you for this tool! I was just wondering why there's no social media skill options? I really want to incorporate that into a type of celebrity career I'm making but realised it's not on the list of objectives

    I do web design & development for a living, and I have done beta testing for my favorite WordPress theme, but the code web design/development has some overlapping similarities but is also apples and oranges (PC vs Mac)... Anyway, I love simming, and play on an iMac. If I am able to choose 'new game' (sorry, I have not done that to date, so I am not sure how it works) and that folder would be the one used and separate (so there is not chance of glitching up my current game/worlds and so they do not overlap) I am willing to beta test in a new game/folder. :) Sounds like a great challenge!

    A bunch of my custom careers stopped working after the 8/23 patch. Is there a way I can update them to get them working?

    Mayday, Mayday!

    I have a Problem with one step of the Career branches:
    Whatever I do, the Master of Mental Therapy's Texts do not show up in the window when they get promoted to it. I swear I saved the lyrics, and they show up in the tool, but just this one of three branches not in the game. Everything else is fine, but this one Career branch only shows the picture. I've edited it in the create-a-Career-tool now all night and half the next day, so about 20 times of trying out, I think. No, must been more ... feels like thousands ...

    I'd like to get you a screenshot of it. But just mentioning that I do not know how ... anyway.

    I mean, I really learned plum a lot last night and even get faster; but this drives me crazy, and I do not know how to solve.


    Yours, tired, helene912

    So that's the description of the track that don't show up when you need to select a track ?

    When the tool is updated, I add a message on the front page of the tool and I also post in this thread, you can bookmark it and it should notify you when there are new posts. I may post it on Twitter too if that's more convenient to keep track of.

    You can only choose skills that already exist in the game, and there's no social media skill, it's part of Charisma.

    An additional Question: How much time can it take till the POPUP window with the DL will arrive? And what if the POPUP does not Pop up at all?

    There's no popup, you'll find the Downlaod link on the My careers page once the export is done.

    I think I'm doing something wrong, or the new version of Python is different. I moved my file Moondansr_Careers_Swimming.py to my Python folder C:\Users\dawns\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32 and then entered the command C://Users/dawns/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37-32/Python.exe -O in the command prompt window. Followed by import Moondansr_Careers_Swimming.py and got the error about No module named 'service' which I've read is normal.

    But

    In my __pycache__ folder I have a file now named Moondansr_Careers_Swimming.cpython-37.opt-1.pyc which isn't a .pyo file. I read online that it isn't the same thing but no matter what I do that's all I can get. Will this .pyc file work?
  • NeiaNeia Posts: 4,190 Member
    @moondansr
    A .pyc is a compiled file, a .pyo is compiled and optimized. It's the -O at the end of the command line (Python.exe -O) to get a .pyo, so make sure you're aren't missing it. But a .pyc will work just fine too, so don't worry.

    Oh this is a nice tool. Curious are there plans to make an application (no internet) variant of the tool or plans to add any missing career features? (E.g. Chance cards)

    Sorry if you've been asked this a million times, I assume you probably have regardless though nice work!
  • moondansrmoondansr Posts: 12 New Member
    Thank you for the reply! I've double triple checked and the -O is definitely there. It even remains at the top of the command window so it's obviously aware I've used it. Very strange.

    I have a new problem. When I first made the career I didn't know what I was doing and I've ended up deleting an entire track and recreating it. Everything looks right here but during testing I'm getting the description for Coast Guard (part of the Pro Swimmer track) under Olympic Swimmer and then under Pro Swimmer I'm getting Endorser (which should be under Olympic Swimmer) and the description is blank. Everything looks right in the Create-A-Career. I can only think there is something amiss in the coding when I export.

    Hello. Just a quick question, I was playing around with this tool the other day. Is it possible to make a part time career with it? If so how?

    I'd like to add new features other time. I don't have any plan for an offline variant of the tool.

    Not at the moment. You can choose to make work days rather short if you want, but it will behave just like a normal career in game.

    Yes, that's what it looked like. I built the Career a second time, now it works out well. :)

    I cannot take a vacation day using the beta careers, anyone have a fix?
  • Haleybp4Haleybp4 Posts: 4 New Member
    @Neia First and foremost, this tool is amazing thank you!!

    I do have a question though, I have noticed in some of my careers such as my Self Employed where I have multiple tracks that when I load it in game some of the titles and descriptions are missing when selecting a track, or the icons and pictures are showing with the wrong track, even though I quadruple checked they are right in the tool. Any advice?

    Good day. I have to report several bugs that I came across with recently (yesterday and today).
    1) Right now such buttons as 'edit' and 'add track' don't work. As I click on them, it transfers me to a blank page.
    2) Yesterday, I encountered one major issue after I tried to change the icon of my career. Even though I've been downloading it, it turned out to be the old one. Refreshing that page or waiting for it to load didn't work out – it remained the same as before.
    3) Consequently, when I left the icon managing page, new branches (not tracks) appeared. There were two of them, and both duplicated the main branch + my own branches that I created myself. I was stupid enough to ignore the fact that it was a beta version, then try and delete the duplicates, thus erasing all work progress, i.e. every field I filled with text became empty. Yes, for some reason, the main track and my own branches disappeared along with those duplicates as I clicked 'Delete' on one (not both) of them.
    Note: I cleared cookies in my browser and checked for the issues once again. They were there.
    This is everything so far. I'm glad that I found this Create-A-Career because it makes things a lot easier for me as for the beginner. All bugs are part of the process. I hope that my post helps you.

    UPDATE: I deleted my previous career since it was all gone anyway. I created a new one with the same name. I created the same old tracks and added branches. Before that, I tried to download the icon for the career, and that was the moment after multiple duplicated branches appear. After that, I deleted and created it again the same way and tried to download icon for the branches. Both worked perfectly without any issues.

    So, there seems to be a conflict as I download the icon for the career, or the main track. It causes multiple branches to appear, while setting up icons for branches doesn't do any harm.

    I can't speak to the first item, as I am new at the tool myself. But I have encountered the second issue myself. I believe that it takes time for the server to update the changes. Try updating the picture or icon and go back and check in 5-10 minutes. It should have updated by then.

    Thank you for the reply. I will remember that. However, a few moments ago I experimented and figured out that downloading an icon for the main track/career causes another major issue to appear. It duplicates the main track into two branches, and deleting those also erases the main track. I'm redoing my career right now, and until I try to download an icon for the main track, everything is safe and sound.

    @cry0wr1ght

    I can't say I have ever had that issue, but as you can see above I have had my fair share of problems too. I think sometimes the career becomes corrupt. I recommend copying all of your descriptions and track settings into a word document and redoing it. It's a pain I know but this has resolved some of my issues.
