I've had a look at the career, but I can't see what the problem could be. There's no script error generated when it crashes. The only mods I had in the test game were the Careers mod and Master Controller. Unless it's conflicting with something in the Careers mod, I cannot see what the issue is.
I can only suggest redoing the career without the books, opportunities and events to begin with the see what happens then.

Thanks for checking it out for me missyhissy, really appreciate it! I'll do that, hopefully I can tack down the issue before having to start over.

No problem. If you have any more issues, I'll happily test again for you

Well after MUCH troubleshooting, many days and hours, I finally figured it out..... my main description was too wordy O.O Now to shorten it and test it, sigh. At least now I know I need to cut down on my text, LOL.

Hi!
Thank you for uploading this tutorial!

I have a problem though. I've followed every step, and created a career myself. I also have that one mod you need. But when I start to load my family, the whole game crashes. I know it's my career, because when I remove it from the Mods folder the game won't crash anymore. What am I doing wrong?

Have you made sure you have the correct version of Twallan's Careers Mod installed?

Are any of those sims in your actual career?

krupsa 11th Jan 2014 3:17 PM

Dunno yet because I'm just testing it and don't have meet any coworkers. I'll edit once I had meet somes. But I'm pretty sure that no, because I have some like 25/50 messages like this in a minute, and I put MinCoworkersPool at 3 and Max 6.

Also I have sometimes an over message who say " Carrière Recorded: 1" and also " Carrière Recorded: 2" (I specify that my game is in French, so I could translate Carrière by Career)

Thanks for you fast reply..

Edit : It seems to be all sims the world have, babies to.

I'll try to reload the game without my mod, and see if that occur only with it, I've just updated some mods before.

Has the game generated script errors? It sounds like it probably has. If yes, could you tell me what one of them says, please?

Edit : Ok I figured out that all sims of the former world, also my home appeared, and then their are all once did, no more messages.

This may save you the trouble with this particular career, it's previously been converted by missyhissy - http://missyhissysjobcentre.wordpre...s-2-conversion/

[ETA]:

I went through it just to troubleshoot. This is what I found:

under your Dance.Careers file you have:
<CoworkerTitle>FellowDancers</CoworkerTitle>
which doesn't match with your keys, you have:
Gameplay/Excel/Careers/Dance:FellowDancer
so you need to remove the "s" like so:
<CoworkerTitle>FellowDancer</CoworkerTitle>

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the keys are case sensitive, so you need to go through the Dance.Careers file and change the following:
<Text_Promotion>Entrylevel</Text_Promotion> should be <Text_Promotion>EntryLevel</Text_Promotion>

and all the Text_Promotion lines, example (you have "promotion" when it should be "Promotion" for several lines, I believe beginning with Level 4):
<Text_Promotion>PromotionLevel4</Text_Promotion>
<Text_Promotion_Female>promotionLevel4_Female</Text_Promotion_Female>

Should be:
<Text_Promotion>PromotionLevel4</Text_Promotion>
<Text_Promotion_Female>PromotionLevel4_Female</Text_Promotion_Female>

--

Then Level 4 your closing tag is </Dancer> and should be </Dance> and for Level 5, your beginning tag is <Dancer> and should be <Dance>


--

There's an extra hash line w/empty string in your "Strings Dance English" file at the very bottom, delete it.

--

I get the following error log when your career is uploaded (which is beyond my scope & knowledge - I believe when it says "Expected >, but found r" by changing </Dancer> to </Dance> and <Dancer> to <Dance> that should clear it up, but not 100% sure):

I haven't updated the file with the changes and tested it, but try implementing those changes and see if it helps.

Hi! I have made a career, it shows up in game, and it seems to be no problems. But everytime I try to play with the career in the mod folder, my game freezes at 2 am, and i have to force the game to quit(ctrl+shift+esc). I have tried to find out what's wrong, but I can't find anything. Does anyone understand what it could be? I know that it is because of the career file, and it happens in old households, as well as new, even when no one in the family is in the career. Does anyone understand what it could be? I'm really stuck and can't see what else to do.

It's definitely the career you made?
It might be a good idea to let the game generate a fresh folder, and place just Twallan's Careers mod and your new career in there and see if the same thing happens,

I have a problem with my custom career, it don't appear for me to joi and say that it has a error in the dll file, I just don't know what to do.

You guys can test it and show me what I did wrong?

PhelipeDeon 19th Feb 2014 6:29 PM

anyone?

missyhissy 19th Feb 2014 8:42 PM

Apologies for the delays, real life's been busy
Helene: Rename your current Sims 3 folder to something like Sims 3Old and load the launcher. That will generate a fresh Sims 3 folder
PhelipeDeon: Has the game generated a script error. If so, can you tell me what it says please? It'll make it easier to spot the issue

PhelipeDeon 21st Feb 2014 7:41 PM

I'm sorry for troubling you missyhissy but I'm really looking for your help, my game gave me 3 errors, I will put here all 3 of them.

Thank you in advance, you're a life saver
