The Navy Officer Career! (With a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Mass Effect references.)
I replayed all Mass Effect games in a week and then redirected my raging fangirling to create a career inspired by my all-time favorite, mflaha55's Army Officer Career. This is the result... Hope you like it?
The Requirements
World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, and NRaas Careers Mod required!
The career relies on the Martial Arts skill from World Adventures, uses reward objects from Ambitions, and borrows a lot of moodlets from Late Night.
The career was created using patch V1.63 and does not overwrite any other career or game file.
Version History
- V1.0
- V1.1 - 5/23/2014 - Changed Captain level description. Improved Officer outfit textures. Removed cord from Uniform outfit textures. Added Spanish translation.
The Languages
The career is available in English and Spanish (thanks to argos93).
The Navy Specifics and Ramblings
To include an ultra-terrible Officer Candidate level and an overdramatic Fleet Admiral level, I modified the real Navy Officer ranks a bit. Lieutenant (Junior Grade) (LTJG) and Lieutenant (LT) became a single Lieutenant rank. Rear Admiral Lower Half (RDML) and Rear Admiral (RADM) became a single Rear Admiral rank.
Also, in true Sims 3 fashion, level descriptions are vague and open-ended. Not everyone wishes to play a strict and rigid military career or a career based on a game they've never played, so I left out any deep Navy specifics or Mass Effect references from the descriptions. Career opportunities are also ridiculous and extremely improbable. (They may or may not be funny. I tried.)

Fair warning, this is my first custom anything ever created, so if there's room for any improvement please let me know.
The Goodies
This career includes 40 career events. 28 of them are opportunities, and the last 12 are the randomly-triggered events that occur while at work.
- 9 "Read a book" opportunities,
- 2 "Delivery" opportunities,
- 8 "Visit someplace" opportunities,
- 3 "Throw a party" opportunities,
- 6 "Stay Late" opportunities,
- 5 "Make a decision" events, and
- 7 "Something happened at work" events.
The career also includes custom outfits based on the default military and police uniforms, as well as some base game shoes and the officer's hat. Some of these outfits were re-textured to include proper Navy insignia at each career level. I removed the cord from the police uniform, which required the modifying the normal, so the mesh information also had to be copied. These modified files are included in the career file.
If you do not want custom outfits for whatever reason, simply delete all _IMG, BBLN, CASP, GEOM, VPXY, and SIMO files from the .package.
The Career!
The career works out of the default Military Base rabbit hole, and can be joined with the "Join O.C.S." interaction.
The join career text:
Looking to test your mental and physical abilities past their limits and work alongside some of the greatest leaders in the nation? Become an Officer in the Navy and experience the greatest challenge of your life!

For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder.

For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
