Converting Twallan's AS into PT jobs

Post by MissPatTS3 » August 7th, 2020, 1:11 pm

Hello! My gameplay style is to never switch off to a different household. I heavily rely on MC to assign everything school and career related, including for my active family. It means that I've never been able to take advantage of the 41 (!) custom afterschool activities since they can't be assigned via MC.

The workaround I'm thinking of, is to give children and teens "part time job" versions of the afterschool activities, since PT jobs can be assigned via MC just fine. MissyHissy gave me the green light to convert her 37 (!) custom AS activities into PT jobs.

What would be the policy, if I were to convert Twallan's 4 custom AS activities into PT jobs? Should I only convert them for my own personal use and not share the conversion files publicly? Please let me know!

What do you mean they aren't assignable with MC? It looks like they should be.

Nope, they aren't, confirmed by MissyHissy and igazor on this forum post.

Unless I'm doing something wrong / missing something?

No, it's broken. I found my notes on it from the prior discussion. Converting them sounds like unnecessary work. Let me look into the issue further.

Ok! I was a bit desperate to get it working. Thanks for looking into it! Pausing my conversion plans.

It looks like this will require changes to MasterController and Careers so a bit time consuming. I'm working on it when I have time but your patience is appreciated. :)

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. :)

We have a team of tech writers standing by to assist with what will be those "massive" release notes! (don't worry, they know to bring their own coffee by now) :)

I'm going to try not to sound hysterical but THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING NEWS I HAVE READ IN 2020. Incredible news, excited to load the fix in game in the next hour.. Thank you so very much! You rock. (Will report back shorthly how it went. I could literaly cry of joy if I were not afraid to secretly be a human plumbot and electrocute myself.)
