Fashion Career Mod - the sims 4

Fashion Career Mod - the sims 4

 

This game play mod includes:

• The ability to join a new career in game: Fashion Career
• The ability to later branch off to one of three branches: Model, Fashion Journalist or Designer.
• Tons of custom interactions
• Custom whim to join the Fashion Career if your Sims have skills in painting or charisma
• Tons of custom moodlets
• Custom career tones (actions) which your Sims can do while at work
• Custom “chance cards” which will give your Sims a positive or negative work boost depending on your answer!
• Models can practice modelling in the mirror
• Models who have a higher career level can “walk the runway” while at work and can receive a variety of moodlets depending on their skill level!
• Models can offer fashion advice, or brag about being a model!
• Models earn a special trait at the top of their career which enhances their friendships and relationships.
• Designer Sims can create custom fashion designs on the easel- as their painting skill increases, their designs get better (over 30 custom painting designs).
• Designers can also sell their work for profit, and will receive a notification each time, telling whether or not their work was chosen by a top fashion label
• Designers receive a trait at the top of their career which allows them to sell their own fashions at a much higher profit
• Journalists can interview other Sims about their outfits, then write positive or negative articles about them (be careful- your Sims friends might not like a negative article written about them ;))
• At the top of the journalism career, Sims can write their own fashion magazine (just like publishing a book on the computer). The magazine can then be read, sold, or published for other Sims to enjoy!

The mod is base game compatible.  It should be compatible with all other mods, including custom careers. It does not override anything in your game.  It IS a script mod, so make sure your script mods are enabled and that your game is up to date before playing.  This is not an “active” Get to Work career- so your Sims will not get the option to go to work- instead, this is the “traditional” career, styled like the base game careers. 

How to Play:

The fashion career is available for Young Adults, Adults, and Elders to join. The career starts you off on the bottom of the fashion world, working in retail- and after you work your way up, you have the opportunity to branch off into one of three branches: Model, Designer, or Fashion Journalist.

This career is NOT active (like the ones from Get To Work); you won't follow your Sims to work at all. However, there are custom career tones (actions) for your Sims to do at work- as well as custom buffs/moodlets for doing so.  As your Sim works their way up, the custom tones will replace the generic ones (i.e. "walk the runway" will replace "work hard" for models).

While at work, you may receive a chance card!  These pop up randomly throughout your Sims' day and will give them a scenario that's related to their career in fashion.  There are always two choices, but each choice has a variety of random results which can increase or decrease your Sims' work performance.  There are 17 chance cards in total- each branch has 3-6 chance cards.

Each branch has special interactions and tasks specific to the career (for example, models can “practice modelling” in the mirror, journalists can interview Sims about their outfits and write positive or negative articles about them, and designers can draw custom outfits on the easel and sell them for profit!). Every branch has a different daily task, and each level has objectives to complete before you are promoted.

There are also rewards for promotions. Each level has a monetary reward, but there are also base game objects (which will help to complete the daily task), custom content rewards (which will emit an emotional aura tied to your career), and interactive rewards (like the ability to “Discuss Fashion” with other Sims or “Give Fashion Advice”). When your Sims reach Level 10 of the careers, the Models and Designers receive special traits, and the Journalists can publish magazines.

Each branch has something that makes it unique! Models practice modelling, as mentioned above, and may also walk the runway while at work. Designers can actually paint custom outfits on the easel and sell their designs. Journalists can conduct interviews, write articles, and later publish a fashion magazine. You can play any of the three branches and have a unique experience each time :)

If you need to cheat to skip a career level, the cheat is: careers.promote fashion. To demote a sim, the cheat is: careers.demote fashion.  Please note that using cheats may cause problems with the custom interactions.  Use cheats at your own risk!

Please note that you cannot switch branches once you've selected one.  For example, if your Sims choose the Designer branch, they cannot later quit and rejoin the fashion career and start a different branch: they will always have to be a designer. 

Completing the Daily Tasks:

If you can't find the Daily Tasks, or don't know how to complete them, here's a quick guide to each one:

How to Install:

Extract the folder then drop the package files in your Documents > Electronics Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder. There are several files (the mod itself, as well as the custom rewards)- it might be best to keep them all together in one “Fashion Career” folder.  
 

Put the .ts4script file in your Mods folder. You may put it in one subfolder, but make sure the folder doesn't have any special characters (like "♥" or "[" etc. see above for more info)  and do not attempt to open or unzip this file. Make sure your script mods are enabled.
