The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

Occult school idea

Post by SkyDome007 » November 8th, 2018, 7:58 am

Hey everyone!
OMG this is my first post on the new site :D
Anyway so you know how the Nraas careers has some schools like music school in different rabbit holes. I was thining what if the Occults also have schools like this in rabbitholes. Like Witches in the vault of antiquity, fairies in the fae ray arboreum and werewolves in umm somewhere... 
What do you guys think about this idea?

That doesn't sound like it would be difficult to arrange, comparatively speaking. But may I ask what the point of these schools would be -- would they be teaching anything different there that the regular public schools and existing specialty ones don't already cover? If there isn't any point except to keep the occults separated during their formative years, I'm afraid the Sunset Valley (okay, Moonlight Falls then) Supreme Court already ruled that such would be unconstitutional back in 1954 or so. :-o

If they can figure it out the schools could be used to help faeries, witches and werewolves develop the hidden skills they have that come with their occult status.

That is where I was hoping the OP was going with this. My objection was not intended to be a serious one. :)

There is still validity as most occults don't have hidden skills so a speciality school wouldn't be needed.
The game never or rarely develops the faeries hidden skill and werewolves only up to level 6.

The only trouble spot I can see would be the witches. The game only develops them to level 3 for good reason 5 or more witches with spellcasting skills at 4 and higher can literally wreak a town with Love spells and Hunger curses I once experimented by raising their skill up to level 9 to see what would happen. With but a couple of exceptions in Moonlight Falls all witches have a spellcasting skill no higher than 3.

There are some creative things one might be able to come up with here. How about a culinary school for genies that makes them learn how to produce the long, difficult way what they already can by clapping their hands?

When I read this post, I thought immediately, Harry Potter for school like for witches and such?

For me, I like your idea of schools in rabbitholes for occult, especially for witches, then I can build my own magical school using Zerbu's Ultimate Career to make it open.

Wait, can we do that with Zerbu's Ultimate Career mods?

Sorry I haven't replied I was busy yesterday. And about to got to sleep now cause it's 1:00 am :/ 
Anyway Igazor yes I meant occults will learn their skills in this school. Spellcasting and alchemy for witches, fairy magic and gardening for fairies and lycanthropy for werewolves :)
Sittingbear I guess a tuning mod to make the love spell non autonomous will solve that. I play that way anyway. And yea I know other occults don't have hidden skill so it's pointless for those unless a modder creates custom skills I guess. The ones with the skills is what I thought of.
bn4mtyg8d Yea you can with Zerbu, the only problem is that you can't select the activities with Zerbu's mod. So they won't do spellcasting on their own or fairy auras on their own. I really wanted Harry Potter like school for my child sims.

Since Zerbu had stopped supporting it and went for Sims 4 instead, I was wishing someone would take over Zerbu's Ultimate Career Mods.

Cause, it only support what ever the Zerbu included as career, not the custom careers that other people made. I just wanted to have like Active School for Magical.

bn4mtyg8d - Zerbu has not released his source code. We asked at one time if we could take that one over and he was not a fan of the idea. That is also why we do not host the actual mod, just discussions about it and links to where it can be found.
