Tourism Career -- With Opportunities & MOAR

Ever thought why Sims do not have a Tourism Career when they can travel aboard with World Adventures? Now Sims may join the Tourism Career, a rabbithole-based career!

The Tourism Career is based at the Business Builiding. To join the career, simply go to the Business Building and choose "Join Tourism Career"! It focuses on Logic, Charisma and Writing.

**This career is particularly HARD -- Long Work hours, lots of working days... but it's worthy at the end**

Features:

A. Levels and Branches
There are ten levels, with two branches, which are Organisation and Management! Sims can choose their career branch at Level 6.

--Practise Foreign Languages (Available at Level 6, builds Charisma... at a faster rate!)
--Practise Writing Reports (Available for Organisation Branch, builds Writing)

C. Special Features
--From Level 4-6, reading Tourism Books is a metric! Books are provided each workday, and Sims should read them to progress.
--Work Hours and working days are designed to simulate the work of tour guides
--Holding meetings is a metric for Vice President and Director!
--For Tour Organisers and Personal Tour Specialist, they need to write reports! Dig up others' trash or question others, then write your report on the computer!
--With Custom opportunities! They are "Cooperation", "Training Course" and "Corrupted Database"! This is very unique. Find out more when you play the career!
--With two branches, which is not common in custom careers!
--No uniforms... be creative and customize your outfit!



D. Bugs
--The Tourism Books don't use the Medical Journals' texture, but currently Twallan does not provide support for other textures currently (informing him), so the books will appear to be brownish, with no book cover and paper textures. Still, it's a bit of variance... no more "Medical-tourism journals"!

--The Report interactions are a bit bugged. Although Twallan unlocked the Question interaction, when you want to write the report on the compurter, there are three options "Report on...", "Write Positive Story on.." and "Write Negative Story on...". It shouldn't matter which you use, but it's better using Report on... interaction. Besides,when you choose the Sim to report on, there are duplicates. When you finish writing the report, it might say something about "Criminal activities"... This is annoying, but this is not a bug caused by my career and is safe.

--For some Rabbithole-visting-based opportunities, they are not perfect: the event handler (which checks whether the Opportunity is done) is kVisitedRabbithole, which there are no other choices, and this make when you do other interactions in the related rabbithole, the opportunity will be automatically "done" even though the Sim did not perform the so-called required interaction. I am not a script modder and this is not fixable due to modding limitations. Sorry.

E. Patch Compatibility
This career package is built with Patch 1.50. It is not known whether it will work with past patches. You need the latest version of NRaas CareersBase mod to load this data package. Version 75 of the NRaas Careers fixes an issue of report interaction not appearing, so the version must be Version 75 or above (I think NRaas hosts the most current version, anyway).

F. Overwriting
The career does not overwrite any other careers, EA or custom. This is a natural rule of custom careers.
