ℹ️Neia’s Create-A-Career Tutorial by midnitetechℹ️

Note: this is for Windows only

Want to get into making careers, but aren’t sure how to use Python? I’ll walk you through every step. It’s quite long, but I’ve simplified it as much as possible. First of all, you’ll need to download the following;

Python (must be this version, scroll down to Download, and grab the Win x86-64 Msi installer.)

S4PE 

Register for a Create-A-Career account

All set? Great, let’s get started! 

First, sign into your new Create-A-Career account, and click Create a new career. Give it a name. In this tutorial, we’re going to be making an Animal Behaviorist career, so I’m using that as my career name. Now, click Edit next to Main Track, and choose some images. You can grab all the Sims 4 icons right HERE. Your main career image needs to be 1000×500 pixels. You can resize them online HERE, or use Paint etc. (Warning: Choose your pic carefully- if you delete the image, you may have issues uploading a new one, so just save what you have and edit the image in Sims4Studio)

Now, I need to create levels to the career. The first one is going to be Applied Animal Behaviorist, so click Edit next to that, and fill in your details. Remember the time you start your job is 24h, so if you want to start at 5pm, type “17”. Save, THEN add your objective, which is the skill level required to be promoted to the next level.

Repeat for each level you want. Now, I want to create 2 branches, one for a Cat Behaviorist, and one for a Dog Behaviorist. Click on New Track, and select your first track. Click Edit next to Main Track, and choose some images, as above. These can be the same if you want. Now add the levels you’d like to each branch, as above.

Now we need some text to go with our career, so go to Texts, and click on your language. Just a tip, if the server gets overloaded, you’re going to get kicked out when you press save, and everything you’ve typed will be lost, so either save regularly, or write it all out in Word, and then copy/paste it over. First, choose your Location, then add PTO (Paid Time Off). If you want to match the game text, this should say “Take Vacation Day (Animal Behaviourist)”. Click save, and return.

Scroll down to Overview, and click each section, making sure you’ve filled it in. Everything OK? Great, click Export. Wait a while while your files are compiled. Click Download. Save to your Desktop and unzip to a folder. I use WinRar. Your folder should look like this, possibly also containing a Neia_Careers_Commons file.

Now open S4PE, and drag the contents of the package folder into it. Click import. Save As, (Midnitetech_Careers_AnimalBehaviorist for this one) and save to where you unzipped the folder. Now, copy the Python file, and paste into your Python folder. If you downloaded the correct version, it should be in C:Python33.

Now press the Windows key + R, type in cmd to pull up the command console. Type in or Copy/Paste in: C://Python33/Python.exe -O, press Enter. Now, type in import Midnitetech_Careers_AnimalBehaviorist.py and press Enter again (obviously, use your own creator name and career name here). Ignore that import error.

Go back to your Python directory, and look for the __pycache__ folder. Grab the file from there, paste it back into the main directory. Right click it, and delete the .cpython-33 from the file name. Highlight both of those files, and right click (remember I’m using WinRar- other zipping progs may be different). Click Add to Archive and type in your career name followed by .ts4script, as below. Press OK.

Now, grab that file, and paste it into your original downloaded folder. Time to test in game! Copy the ts4script and the package file (and the careers_commons file if there is one, and you don’t already have it), and paste into your Mods folder. Load up the game and test your new career. The ts4script is for PTO (paid time off), and there is an issue where it’s not showing up as an option on the phone right now. I don’t know if this is a game issue, or something to do with this tool, but it DID work. I’ve contacted Neia, and will update this if I hear anything back (as of 5/13/18)

Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be Alt Tabbing, and Ctrl C’ing your way through the whole process in no time.
