Title: Deleting custom careers Post by: KellyQ on 2007 February 20, 19:04:04 Okay so I'm trying to purge my downloads folders in preperation for the new EP (and crossing my fingers that Seasons will work with my less then fast CPU). I have gone through hair, clothes, skins, etc., etc.
I have downloaded some careers and while some of them are okay, others are just *blah* but I kept them because of the limited amount of careers within the game. Now that we will finally be getting some new career choices for our sims I'm thinking of getting rid of some the less then interesting ones that I have. So, my question is, how horrible would it be if I just deleted the careers although some of my sims are employed using those careers? Is this a VBT causing a BFBVFS?

Is there something that has to be done with memories too? Title: Re: Deleting custom careers Post by: maxon on 2007 February 21, 04:27:41 I think it does cause problems - but it strikes me you could probably alter their employment with SimPE rather than have to go into the game and change jobs. Though also as SimsBaby says, if they are at work that might cause more problems. I ALWAYS save lots at 6am in the morning for reasons like this.
Title: Re: Deleting custom careers Post by: KellyQ on 2007 February 21, 06:18:40 I ALWAYS save lots at 6am in the morning for reasons like this. I have only recently started doing this. Before I just saved when I was tired of playing or after a major event (age transition ususally). I was thinking the Simpe idea would probably be the easiest way of doing this (rather then having to go into each household and have sims with a custom career find a new job) until you mentioned that some sims might still be at work...and you know, you're right. I have no idea which households my sims might be at work instead of at home. I suppose I could use Simpe to track down which sims have custom careers and then enter those households, make sure they are home and either have them change careers in game or go back into Simpe after verifying their work situation. It sure does seem like this "game" is a lot of work sometimes. Damn it all! :-\ |
