Last week I went to the last movie of the Twilight Saga.

It's also a huge spoiler!

New Conversion: Rock Star (Requested)

Before you download this career, you need to download the Careers mod from Twallan here:
Patch 1.31~1.36: The Careers - Phase Ten
Patch 1.38 ~ 1.39: The Careers - Phase Eleven
Patch 1.42: The Careers - Phase Twelve
for this career to show up in-game!

Lientebollemeis asked me to convert some of her Sims 2 careers and I was very happy to do that! So this is one of her careers, Rock Star!
It was requested for Sims 2 by draamaqueen.
You find here a conversion for the Sims 3. So any additional texts, info etc are by me, but the original idea is from Lientebollemeis and draamaqueen.

Here is the full information for the career for Sims 3. The career has 10 levels and is located at the Theatre. It has one custom tone, Practise Music, which builds the Guitar, Bass, Drums and Piano skills. Only the base game is required, although Late Night is needed for the Bass, Drums and Piano skills to gain.



Technical Stuff:

This career was made with patch 1.42 and should work with all lower patches. It requires the Base Game and should work with any other combination of expansion and stuff packs. It works in my game but if you have problems, let me know :)

Translating

Since I'm not fluent in any language other than English, the career is only written in the one language. So if you're interested in translating, download the Language Strings file and open it in Notepad.

New with Music: Elvis Inducted into Memphis Music Hall of Fame


Elvis Presley, among other Memphis music greats, were inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame Thursday evening during a musical tribute held at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Memphis. According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Priscilla Presley accepted on behalf of Elvis and noted that Elvis' musical influences included several of his fellow inductees.

"I know he would be humbled and pleased to be included in standing with them tonight at this inaugural event," said Priscilla in a video message presented during the ceremony.

Memphis is often known as the cradle for legendary musicians in blues, soul, and rock 'n' roll. Sponsored by the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, the ceremony consisted of 25 inductees who maintained strong ties to the Memphis community and were pioneers in the music industry. Other Memphians honored were Sun Studio founder Sam Phillips, DJ Dewey Phillips, blues legends B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, and Isaac Hayes, among many others.

New FAQ: More help for doing a career request

Update: 2015-07-25

The way of requesting has changed a lot in the past 5 years.
From a simple form to fill out, which people can reach all the time, it's developed to an excelfile on Google Docs (not everyone has MS Office), which I provide from the moment the requester contacts me.
This way I have personal contact with the requester which makes it easier to help with the request. The requester needs to want the career enough to put some effort in it.
The way the file is build gives the requester the chance to see if the career is accepted or not. The file tells you that the request is accepted or not while you're filling it out.
The only reason why a request can be rejected (if the file says the request is accepted): is spelling and grammar.
The file can't check that by itself.

So I still check following things: 
  • Spelling and grammar:
    • I read the descriptions very quickly. If I see just the one mistake, I stop looking further.
      • Punctuation (at the end of a sentence)
      • Do the sentences make any sense?
      • Apostrophe's (you are = you're; your = your)
      • No abbreviations (kinda, gonna,...)
      • Capital letter (Begin of sentence, countries,...)
      • Form of the sentence
  • Descriptions:
    • This is mostly based on MTS's rules. They reject careers for this:
      • Growth in the career
      • Creativity
      • No repetition (like the word now or you)
      • Length of description (at least 4 sentences, (long enough))

This is all found very clearly in the instructions on the file too. A Lot of requests have been accepted so there are people who do follow the instructions correctly.

The form is made in such a way it's nearly impossible to have a reason for rejection.
You need to check two main things. If these are good, the request is accepted and uploaded asap:

  • Spelling and grammar
  • Creativity (length + growth)

New Tutorial: How to install custom content



The Downloadfolder
The first step is to determine whether the download folder exists. It should be in a folder called My Documents. Depending on which version of Windows you are running, it is either on your desktop or on your Start Menu.
In your My Documents folder should be a folder called "EA Games". If you click on it, there should be a folder inside called "Sims 2". Clicking on that brings up several more folders, but the one you are looking for is called "Downloads". This is where all of your custom content should go.
If you do not see the Downloads folder, it is easy to create: Simply click "File" and then "New". A submenu will come up. Click on "Folder". This will generate a new folder. Rename that folder "Downloads". Now you are ready to install your custom content.

File you'll need to use:Files ending in ".zip" need to be opened with an unzipper. Some versions of Windows already have one installed, but the older versions don't (older than XP). To open these folders, you will need a program called "Winzip". You can use google and find it on the internet.
Files ending in ".rar" need to be opened with a program like "WinAce" or "WinRAR". Again. google will help you find this program.
Files ending in ".package" should go to your downloads folder directly. These files are found in zips and rars. Sometimes these files are prepackaged in another type of file that ends in ".Sims2Pack". These files will have a different picture and if you click them, they will start a program to install your custom content for you. All you have to do is open the file, click the "Install" button, and then the "Done" button and you're all set. It puts it into the correct folder for you. 

Sims2Pack files
Unzip the files from the downloaded zipfile into the downloadfolder.
You'll see a Sims2pack file with the extension (e.g. .jpg, .docx,...) ".SIMS2PACK
Double click on that file.
Then just wait a while.
Then you'll see this window:

Click Install
You'll see the message: Custom Content was successfully installed!

Start your game and you should see the house you've installed in the bin.

New remake Sims Bustin' Out: Fashion Victim

This is a remake of the known Maxis' (EA Games) career.
It's not available in The Sims 2 Base Game.

A lot of people asked to create this and finally I remade them all.
Here's an overview of all the remade careers (+ more information on how and why I made this).
(This career is not seen in the overview as I created it later.)

I also accept requests full time!
If you have a request please go here: bit.ly/p9ymWC

IMPORTANT
I do NOT  take any credit for the levels, descriptions, promotional skills needed, etc. as they are just taken from the Maxis' careers. I tried my best with everything I could not supply from the Maxis career.

Maxis' careers 1t2 (done), 3t2 (done) and 4t2 (done beta)

Update: 2024-05-19
Current status:
The Sims 1:
Complete
The Sims 2: Obsolete
The Sims 3: Complete
The Sims 4: Complete (beta)


Note: Not every zipfile contains the overview of the information of every level. For all information I used, please, go here: https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Career


Update: 2024-02-28

This is a huge project which contains all Maxis' careers of The Sims 1, The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 which are not available in The Sims 2 or its expansion packs.
In total 141 careers
(though need to check if there are doubles)
There have been +65 made.
Though some are still in beta!
More are coming as TS4 still gets new EP's
Download the available ones here: http://simfileshare.net/folder/92880/
An overview of the ones need to be made can be found in the corresponding folder.


Some notes:
- When a career was double I only created it once. E.g.: Paranormal in Sims 1 & 3 is exactly the same so then I only create it once (this is just an example. I don't know if it's true for Paranormal)
- It was hard to find good icons. I hope they're satisfactionary. I mostly use Maxis' icons, but older conversions might need an update.
--- I am planning to change these to the according Maxis' icons for the corresponding careers. Back in 2012 (and prior) they were not always available.
- It's possible you see some careers twice (E.g. Entertainment). They have different descriptions, hours, wages,... So I consider them as different careers. And the prefix 1t2, 3t2 or 4t2 is normally added.
- I used this site for all information I needed: https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Career
-- If some information wasn't available, I added it myself. Since 2023 ChatGPT can really help with adding this missing information (less time consuming for me.)

New Conversion: Tattoo Artist (request)

Before you download this career, you need to download the Careers mod from Twallan here: The Careers - Phase Ten for this career to show up in-game!


Lientebollemeis asked me to convert some of her Sims 2 careers and I was very happy to do that! So this is one of her careers, Tattoo Artist!
It was requested for the Sims 2 by Anaiyia.


You find here a conversion for the Sims 3. So any additional texts, info etc are by me, but the original idea is from Lientebollemeis and Anaiyia.


Here is the full information for the career for Sims 3. The career is located at the Day Spa and the focus is on Painting. It has two custom tones, Practise Tattooing, which builds the hidden Tattooing skill (if you have Ambitions installed) and Design Artwork, which builds the Painting skill. I don't know what will happen if you do not have Ambitions installed and use the Practise Tattooing tone.






Technical Stuff:

This career was made with patch 1.36 and should work with all lower patches. It requires only the base game to run (Although will require Ambitions for the first custom tone to work) and should work with any combination of expansion and stuff packs. It works in my game but if you have problems, let me know :)
