More Awesome Than You!

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if I made a mistake or did I actually see a mod/hack somewhere that would have sims study, bodybuild, or autonoumously do whatever was necessary for that sim to prepare for his next promotion?  if it does exist please tell me where it is located cause I can't find it again.  If it doesn't exist then this would be a great mod. 

Thanks,

I've seen autonomous skilling mods (and Sims will do some skill-increasing activities on their own anyway), but I have never seen one that attempted to specifically do the things needed to achieve the next job level, and have no idea if there's anything in the game that would allow a hack to TELL what needed to be done next.

If that hack exists, I'd appreciate a link :)

Meanwhile, did you try the Skillinator from Macrotastics? You'd still have to choose which skill should be trained, but then the Skillinator starts a training loop for the selected sim until the skill is maxed out ... un-awesome spoken ;)

Thank you Rose,

That's it.  The skillinator, that's why I couldn't search and find it.  I knew it had some unique name.  Thanks again.  But if anyone knows of a better one just let me know.

Thanks,

Skillinator is a very useful mod, I just didn't mention it because it isn't what you asked for -- it's neither autonomous nor any more career related than any other skilling mod I've run across. For actual autonomous study there's Inge's Sensible Study Bookcase at http://www.nectere.net/smf/index.php?topic=116.0 and now that I've found that I can't remember if I've seen others.

Honestly, though, the very nature of autonomous behavior means that your Sims might very well autonomously decide to do something else instead. Rather than trying to convince your Sims to do on their own what you want them to do, it's better to just tell them, and JMP's tools like Skillinator and Macrotastics will let you do so in a way that's still fairly hands-off.
