Change Work/School hours

No one knows everything this mod can do. Did you know you can tune the size of your sims nostrils with this mod? I'm kidding.

Change Work/School hours

Post by Decko » February 17th, 2022, 6:02 pm

Good evening. I've been wondering if it is possible to change work/school start/end times using Retuner. I'm pretty sure you can do it with regular XML tuning mods, but I've been searching the option on Retuner for just about an hour and I didn't seem to find it anywhere (I searched it on Sims3.Gameplay.Careers >[the career I want] and the "Go to Work" Interaction).

No, sorry, it's not. There are many layers to tuning, which are explained in this FAQ: Retuner-FAQ#How-do-the-various-layers-of-tuning-work. Number 3 mentions careers which is table-based and more complex. Retuner cannot handle that, I'm afraid.

You may find the rest of the FAQ's on that page helpful in explaining how tuning works as well. :-)

Out of curiosity... if what I want to change is which days of the week a part-time job is worked, and it isn't a default career, but one that's added with the nraas careers mod, is it still the case that these cannot be tuned with re-tuner?

And if so... is there a way to change the days of the week the job is worked without re-tuner? I was able to change the days worked on the custom part-time jobs made by MissyHissy, so I was trying to determine if it was possible to change these ones as well.

The days and hours of the Careers mod custom part time jobs can be adjusted by opening the NRaas_CareerDataPartTime.package file in S3PE and editing the NRaas.PartTime.Careers xml resource. It's really quite easy and further tuning tools should not be needed. I've done the same with the Schools module and a few other custom careers myself several times over the years. :)
