New Videotutorial: How To Create a Teen Career

With this tutorial you can learn how to create a new teen career. There are some more features when creating an adult career. I will make a video with those extra features, but basically if you can create a teen career, you can create an adult career.
Happy creating!

New Solved Issue: Make Anyone Store Manager

It really bugs me that only sims with bazillion badges can be a store manager. It takes forever when starting a business before the owner can stay at home (eg take care of the kids) and just has to phone the manager every day to check in.
As far as I know there is no mod to solve this, but there is a workaround.

The only mod you need is the insiminator or another mod that can adjust the level of the career the sim is in and a mod to select a sim. (I DON'T recommend the boolprop).

• Hire a sim you want to be the store manager
• Make that sim selectable
• Check its job panel
• Change the level the sim is in to level two of the 'career'
• And HOORAY the sim you hired is now promoted to store manager
• Now deselect the sim

You're done.

I hope you like this workaround. Have fun!

New FAQ: How to let a teen or elder have an adult job (and the other way around)?

This is way simpler than you'd think.
You just need a mod that a sim can change in age.
I use the insiminator to do that, but feel free to use another mod.

What you need first
The insiminator is found here: http://s2idownloads.blogspot.be/2010/05/other-mods-insiminator.html
Download the OBJ edition and use the hourglas to change your sims' ages.
The Job Board made by MogHughson will make it easier to find the career you want to give your sim: http://bit.ly/1gyed0N

Give your teen or elder an adult job:

• Make your teen or elder an adult.
• Find the adult career you want for your sim.
• Make your adult sim a teen (or elder) again.

Now your teen/elder has an adult career.

This also works the other way around


Give your adult sim a teen/elder job:

• Make your adult sim a teen again (or elder).
• Find the teen/elder career you want for your sim.
• Make your teen (elder) sim an adult again.

Now your adult sim has a teen/elder career.


Known issues
Of course such tweaking the game goes never "unpunished".
The issue I noticed is that when changing a sims' age, their face sometimes becomes blue. Let them change their appearance in the mirror (you don't need to change anything, just the dialogue needs to appear) and your sim has a normal face again.

New FAQ: How to translate a career

How to translate?
1. Is the career already translated into the language you want, because then your hard work would be in vain? Check it here: http://bit.ly/PS89j8

2. It's important that you just translate the English lines. (See the thread to know which descriptions and which levels belong together)

3. You have to translate it twice. Once for male and once for female. Even when it's the same description!
---- Please, don't change the other lines.

4. Don't forget to translate the word "Unemployed" and to give me the translation of the career title as I will need that info when I add your translation to the career.

5. Send the translated file to s2i_request@hotmail.be
--- In your e-mail please state clearly the translation of the career title and the language you translated it in.
