    How to add a Sim to a town already having skills/job?

    I'd like to add some Sims and families to towns but I want them to possess a few ranks in some skills; how do I go about doing that?

      Personally, I'd do it with NRaas MasterController (Cheats Module). You may be able to set skill ranks with testing cheats, also, but I can't remember. You can also use MC to assign career levels. I think I'd create and place the families in a new town, do my tinkering with levels there, save them to bin, and then place them in the towns where I intend them to live. I may be wrong, but I think you're less likely to introduce corruption into your saves if you do it that way.

      You can also move them into a town and have them study to gain the skills and make a background story for them and evict them to the bin and save to the library before adding them to the town you want them living in.I did that with a sim I added to my town legacy challenge.

      I usually just find them a job through rabbit hole, no cheats for me ;)

      You can do it with mastercontroller.
      Advanced --> skills level --> and then it isn't that difficult anymore.

      The only things I see in MasterController under Advanced are: Edit in CAS, Force Kill, and Reset Sim.

      Sounds like you have to add one of the add ons

      *sigh* You're absolutely right.

      I think I need two sets of large neon signs above my computer. One says: "These are the mods you have installed!" and another that says, "This is all the CC you have installed!" and they need to flash periodically, too.

      True. The "Cheats" add-on is needed to do it that way.
