Ok so looks like I don't need to modify Careers after all. This should be fixed here: https://www.nraas.net/download/CR_NRaas ... r_V135.zip

A formal announcement will come when I have time. :)
Thanks so much, Chain! Will test when I can. This is fantastic news, thank you very much for looking into it :yes:

I have deleted the old MC 134 version, cleared my cache and installed the MC 135 version.

I don't have AwesomeMod installed (removed it few days ago).

When I load my save, the error message says "Careers recorded: 1650" and I am no longer able to assign afterschool activities even the EA ones. For both children & teens, it says "no choices".

I tried 3 times so far, same results each time.

Interesting. I wasn't getting any error messages so I thought careers seemed fine with the changes. Admittedly I only tested with twallans afterschool activities installed though. What are the errors you're getting?

I have isolated the error files that *seem* to be in relation - SkillBooter stuff?:

Couple things:

You have an afterschool activity installed that requires the violin from the store (Music Lessons) but don't appear to have it installed. Also is the "Hospital Mod - Sept 2012 - for supernatural" the hospital overhaul mod? If so, that one hasn't been updated and causes issues.

Great points :D​​​​​​​ My error log files are from about 5 different saves.
  • One save, I had installed Missy's Music ASA, interestingly I had installed the "No Store" version so I'll look into why it's still considering I need the violin instrument...
  • Another save, I had the Hospital mod installed but I read a thread where you were saying it was causing issues with mods loading *after* it so I uninstalled it stat.
  • Final save, I had none of the above installed and the "no choices" issue still happened.

I was puzzled by the sudden appearance of an error log and forgot to follow up on this. Are you trying on multiple different Sims? Sims that have jobs or already have afterschool activities that will conflict will get no or limited choices along with Sims about to age up.

Just tested myself and it's working fine! I added Bella Bachelor to a custom activity via Master Controller and it's worked! Thanks, Chain! :yes:

Ah ok! Yes I did try on 3-5 child-aged and teen-aged sims across all saves - they are saves where SP likely already assigned jobs and activities, so the above could be explaining the "no choices" popup. :idea:.

I'll do another round of testing and report back within 24h. Thanks!

Chain_Reaction, you were correct about the "Music Lessons", there is no "no store" version for it *walk of shame*. I confused it with Missy's 10 Extra Afterschool Activities, that does.

So I reinstalled all of Missy's custom afterschool activities for the purpose of today's test save.

My report:

[FIRST LOADING OF ISLA PARADISIO]
  • I fired up a fresh Isla Paradisio save. I made sure none of the problematic mods you had pointed out were installed.
  • I was able to load the afterschool activities by EA on the first load so there was no "no choices" popup issues on the few target sims I had clicked on, this time.
  • But I still couldn't see Twallan or Missy's custom afterschool activities.
[SECOND LOADING OF SAME ISLA PARADISIO]
  • Child-aged female sim (Emily Hamada) who was 4 days out of 7 in that age phase and who was not enrolled in any activity generated the "no choices" popup again. I used "MC > Intermediate > Absolute Age" to reset her age to "0" and it freakin' loaded all the custom activities in the menu and I was able to assign her one of Missy's activities! *happy dance*
  • The same issue as above happened with a male child (Omar Collins) aged 6 days out of 7 in that age phase. Resetting his age to "0" days out of 7 fixed it and I was able to successfully assign him one of Missy's activities.
  • One female teen (Ashley Alto) who was only 3 days out of 14 in that age phase, couldn't receive afterschool activities at all. She had no job. I assigned her to a school: still no "activities" in her MC menu. I reset her age to 0: still no "activities" in her MC menu.
  • Same for male teen (Sean Vidal) who was 9 days out of 14, enrolled in school and part-time mausoleum employee level 2. He had no "activities" menu option at all. I MC-resigned him from his job and MC-reset his age to 0. Still no "activities" in the menu.
  • One male teenager (Joel Vidal) who was only 1 day out of 14, could receive afterschool activities but it showed the "no choices" popup. He was already enrolled in school. I reset his age to 0 and I still got the "no choices" popup.
  • One female teenager (Chandell Scott) who was 13 days out of 14, had the custom activities showing up right away.
[THIRD LOADING OF SAME ISLA PARADISIO]

I reloaded the save a 3rd time to check if it fixed the issues related to:
  • Ashley Alto: there still was no "activities" menu showing up in MC for her. I guess she's a broken EA sim somehow?
  • the Vidal Bros: the game reload seemed to do it for both of them. This time, the custom afterschool activities showed up just fine in their MC menu.
All in all, in my opinion, V135 works and is ready for public release! Prob just need to mention the few limitations / issues that can be experienced along with their easy fixes.

You made my 2020 a lot better :) Hopefully this is the beginning of a chain reaction of positive stuff in 2020. (Sorry *had* to do that terrible pun again. I'll keep doing it, btw, just get used to it.)
