Add work Objects to incease work performance for custom careers?

Post by C-Dark » July 13th, 2020, 4:39 am

I wonder if it is somehow possible to make custom careers also function with Workobjects for the standard careers
OR is it somehow possible to add other careers to use the ones specified in the objects list?

F.i. I have the custom career Librarian and added the career by clicking the building of my library.
This workes good, my inactive residential sim with career Librarian goes there to work, but she does nothing, even objects like Bookshelves and Computers are placed.

What can I do, tune to let her use the objects and get work performance too?

I thought we were told that this is not possible because Zerbu has not/will not release the source code for his mod.

C-Dark, it looks like what you're looking for can be done. See this tutorial:

It was mentioned by MissyHissy in this post, dedicated to Zerbu's Ultimate Careers mod:

I also suggest you use Cinderellimouse Zerbu tuning mod here. Really makes it easier to progress in the Zerbu active careers.

YEAH, thanks to point me to it again, because I already use exactly THIS Librarian career, but - honestly,
I'm such a Image

I did it wrong the whole time, I really forgot to enable my custom careers at all
2. Ensure custom careers are enabled by using the ‘Zerbu’ option on the City Hall rabbithole, ‘Ultimate Careers’ –> ‘Enable/Disable Careers’. ‘Custom Careers’ needs to say ‘enabled’.
THIS option IS CALLED now in my game = Setting: Allow on any lot
I think this is why I did not get it.

And yes
4. Finally, you need to tell the mod which objects the sims should use to build their career performance. You do this by clicking on the City Hall and choosing the ‘Assign Career Type’ option under ‘Zerbu’ (you only need to do this step for custom careers).

I'M so blind. Thanks now I truly understand how it works Image

It's all thanks to simshai91, who had mentioned a few days ago how she gets her townies to progress autonomously on open lot careers thanks to Zerbu's mod.
Glad our combined efforts paid off ;)

Happy simming!

Do someone know if it's possible to exclude NPC co-workers from being assigned when career is attached to building?

Hi, there is an option on the zerbu menu when you click on the lot building to assign sim to lot. So you can manually choose which Sims go to which lot for work instead of generally assigning all Sims in the career to that lot. Very useful for example if you have a doctor who you've set up private practice for.. So all other doctor Sims go to the Hospital as usual, and he goes to his active practice. And you can therefore also assign a nurse there, a receptionist etc. So it really feels authentic.

so in your case of the librarian, you can assign just him/her to the library and leave everyone else to go to the rabbithole. There is also an option to limit coworkers, but can't remember which NRAAS module that comes with, so you can limit the number of auto generated coworkers.

Thanks, I know about the sim assignment, that is not my issue.
I used zerbus mod since many years, but in the last 1, 2 years not, so I. simply forgot about the setting to first enable custom careers under cityhall 🐱

But I don't want to set all sims manually, there are some like videogame developer I assign as career at my library and the NPC co-workers attend there too.

Now I decreased the amount of co-workers in my EA career tuning I already had, where I have set working times for all.
And the npc's are gone now 👍

Edit: I reduced the <mincowokers> number which is also for the pool and I changed it in addition in all custom careers packages I have, a lot of them have really high numbers.
