Part Time Jobs Custom Skill Tones Never Show Up

Post by MissPatTS3 » February 9th, 2020, 5:09 pm

Happy Sunday!

I'm wrapping up a new Sims 3 Custom Part Time Jobs Mods Full List updated for 2020 here.
To this end, I'm testing the PT jobs provided by the Careers mod's own "Part Time" module here.

My problem is that, I do see skill tones associated with Twallan's 10x custom PT jobs in the 'Part Time' package file. However, when I play the PT jobs in my test save, custom skill tones never show up - only the regular tones (i.e: sleep / talk to coworkers / work hard, etc.)

Is this the anticipated behavior, or am I doing something wrong?
Would love help troubleshooting this.

It looks like those only show up for the Patroller and Lab Gardener PT jobs. Are those the ones you're testing? Does the Sim have the skill (logic, gardening) and is it below max level?

Thanks for pointing that out! I am seeing "extratones" lines in the code so I assumed *all* the PT jobs had custom tones, but you're right the actual "tones" file only shows that it will be visible on the Patroller and Lab Gardener ones.

I did test the 2 PT jobs a few days ago and what I found is that:
  • Lab Gardener: the custom tone "Practice Gardening" showed up after the sim got 1 point in the Gardening skill (thanks for pointing that out!)
  • Patroller: the custom tone "Practice Logic" unfortunately never showed up, even after granting the test sim the level 9 in Logic (via DebugEnabler) and giving him each of the 3 career levels. It simply never showed up. :huh:
