Tuning University Degrees and Custom Careers
Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to make a mod that allows your sim to start a custom career at a higher level if they have the relevant university degree. Just like how an Economics degree allows your sim to start at level 7 in the Business (Investor branch) career.
Looking at the xml files for the uni majors, I can see where to add the career track that the major will provide benefits for (UniversityMajor > career_tracks). And for each career level I can see where the benefits (better pay, more vacation time, etc) are tuned in the xml files. But I cannot find the place to change which level of the career is available to a sim after they get the relevant degree.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

Suggestion
I have one suggestion, but I don't know if it will work.If you edit a DramaNode Tuning file, you can make that your sim is offered an opportunity to join a job at a certain level, which is 5 by default, if they have a good or a bad reputation. I think, maybe it is possible to do so with university degrees.
I will use dramaNode_Reputation_Good_Career_SecretAgent, career_SecretAgent_Level7 and loot_Reputation_Career_SecretAgent.
If I am wrong, please correct me. I am new in this too.
This is a snippet of the Drama Node tuning:
Code:
<V t="trait"> <U n="trait"> <L n="whitelist_traits"> <T>194217<!--trait_Reputation_Rank_6_ReallyGood--></T> <T>194224<!--trait_Reputation_Rank_7_Pristine--></T> </L> </U> </V> <V t="career_test"> <U n="career_test"> <T n="negate">True</T> <V n="test_type" t="career_reference"> <U n="career_reference"> <V n="career" t="specific_career"> <T n="specific_career">27931<!--career_Adult_SecretAgent--></T> </V> </U> </V> </U> </V>
Those are the traits required to trigger the dialogue. The Sim needs to have a really good or a pristine reputation.
Now the career level tuning:
Code:
<U> <T n="performance_mod">13</T> <L n="tests"> <L> <V t="trait"> <U n="trait"> <L n="whitelist_traits"> <T>218198<!--trait_University_PsychologyDegreeBA--></T> <T>218203<!--trait_University_VillainyDegreeBA--></T> </L> </U> </V> </L> </L> </U>
Here, you notice the required traits to have a job performance. Your sim needs a degree in either psychology or villainy.
I think maybe, you can put those traits in the drama node, but I never tested using different traits.
To set a custom level you need loot_Reputation_Career. This is a snippet:
Code:
<V t="career_loot"> <U n="career_loot"> <V n="career" t="career_reference"> <U n="career_reference"> <T n="reference">27931<!--career_Adult_SecretAgent--></T> </U> </V> <L n="operations"> <V t="join"> <U n="join"> <V n="level_to_join" t="enabled"> <V n="enabled" t="increase"> <T n="increase">PUT LEVEL HERE</T> </V> </V> </U> </V> </L>
You can test this and see if it works.

I can see where you are going with this, and I will test it out in a few days. However, wouldn't this mean that the career comes up as an offer via the phone? I was hoping to be able to join it on the 'find job' interface. This would be a good start though.

Ah, it is still possible. The catch is that you have to be in another career, and I don't know how to trigger it to test. It is the normal invitation modified to have a degree check instead of a reputation check. This is how I see that.

Could this be used to make a custom degree?
