    No offense bud, but actually it does, it says it wasn't a general problem of the page that day. Sad to hear it doesn't work for you, but don't take your frustration out on me, especially not when my post was over a month ago. Better try @Neia as the mod author so she might look into it.

    Some problems don't need to occur every single time in order to be a general problem. The problem with Neia's career tool has been persisting for quite some time.

    Hey, all! Based on Scarlet's relook at the game code and some work by testers, I've updated my advice on custom careers, including those built with @Neia's tool:

    rabbithole careers: updated advice. I've removed these from the Broken Mods list. Initially, it was assumed by those of us tracking at Deaderpool's server and looking at initial code, that broken rabbithole code affected careers. So far, however, the only actual reports of breakage are unconfirmed in testing. Neia has not reported in that her tool does need updating. That said, until career creators confirm their mods working, use at your own risk.

    Hi everyone! I also can't seem to get the description texts to show up in-game when creating a career with Neias Creat-A-Career Beta. This is my first time doing this, so I thought I'm doing something wrong. But after countless attempts and following the tutorial step by step, I'm out of ideas (and also feel a bit disappointed now having spent quite some time writing out the career).
    Has anyone tried creating a career post mid-August (I see first reports about this issue appear then) and got it to work? Does anyone know what might be the issue?
    Thank you so much in advance.

    Oh I think I figured it out after all: I checked the downloaded files (text string files) in S4S to find out that my description texts were nowhere included. So the problem was not the processing in game. After changing one of the texts which might have included a special character and redownloading the files, everything showed up as expected. Either this was the issue, or I was too hasty downloading the files.

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to modify the files generated with the Create-A-Career tool to add in object career awards.

    I was trying to edit the generated "reward tuning" data.
    To do so, I looked up how this is ususally done in the game code for an existing career and added the following code below (starting from "!NEW Bike"), accordingly.

    However, the added paragraph is ignored when the notification shows up in game. (I also tried this with the object originally used in the example career, and this doesn't work either).

    I can however add in a second money award intance and it will show up in game as expected.

    I'm totally new to modding - Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way to make this work?

    Figured it out!! I'm so happy. The random reward instance was missing (as far as I understand it's there for the randomization of the colour switches of the object... Silly me thought I could ignore it if I don't want to randomize).

    So for anyone who might be interested - code below worked for me (and the bike even shows up in the inventory!)

    I updated my career when the patch was available, but now two people have said they are having problems having their sims go to work. Does anyone have any incite on what might cause this? I tried it out myself too and even if you click Go To Work, they don't do anything. I want to fix it, but don't know what needs to be fixed.
  • SibunaForeverSibunaForever Posts: 1 New Member
    If anyone figures out the not going to work issue, please say something. I have careers from the same zip where one works, and the other one doesn't. And I can't figure out the difference. I tried to remake it using the site and still had the same problem.
  • Minx11Minx11 Posts: 1,386 Member
    So, I've never done any kind of coding before, so when I tried to make this career, everything was fine until I tried making the script file. Can anyone give me any help on using Python? I've tried looking at tutorials and nothing helps. Also, is it normal in the website for all the "Start" time boxes being set to "127"? because mine are and it's slightly off putting. Thanks :D

    Same here... Still...
    Could you fix it @Dakota88 ?
    Can anybody tell me, how to fix it?

    It needs to be in 24 hour format or it will revert to 127, which shows up as 11PM in game. So for 24 hour format, if you want them to start at 9AM you put 9. If you want them to start at 9PM you put 21. (For those of us who don't do 24 hour format, if your start time is AFTER 12 PM, just add that number to 12. So 1pm would be 12 + 1 for 13.) Hope that helps!

    A bunch of my custom careers aren't working correctly since the last patch. I hope someone comes up with a solution.

    hola! no se si alguien me puede ayudar. Es la primera vez que hago una carrera. Todo ha ido bien hasta que he querido exportar. No aparece la opción de descarga nunca. llevo mas de 3 horas esperando y no carga. he probado a intentar un proyecto menor y estos exportan automáticamente. Como puedo exportar la carrera entonces? gracias

I can't just delete the other branches, as when I edit one it affects all the other branches of the same name so deleting one will delete them all. None of the other named branches in my career have this issue but one does and it's screwing up everything, even in game it messes up the photos and icons for each branch of the career.

    I tried right now and the same thing is happened here.

    Do you mean s4pe? Just to clarify, because this is a TS4 career tool. Probably a typo ;)
