Career Day Overhaul
Mod Description
(Known Issues; Requirements; Languages and Change log at the end of the post)
I am happy to present the Career Day Overhaul Mod, which adds to the exisiting event:
3 additional stands (don't forget to place them on the lot for the job representatives!)
20 additional careers are added to the pool (now there are 29 careers in all):
1st additional stand: Tech Guru, Civil Designer, Engineer, Scientist, Conservationist, Gardener, Naturopath;
2nd additional stand: Writer, Law, Education, Activist, Mortician, Salaryperson;
3rd additional stand: Painter, Social Media, Entertainment, Critic, Style Influencer, Romance Consultant, Actor.
3 new interactions to each Job Representative: Ask About Possible Salary / Ask About Helpful Skills /Ask About Suitable Studies - always with answer
Now when Sim asks for Details about career - they will get answer as well, there will be name of the company hiring and career description.
Reactions to job details should happen now more often
3 new interactions to the Teacher (always available, not only during the event):
Ask About Possible Scholarships - gives general information about the scholarships (available only if you have Discover University EP)
Ask About Scholarships Chances - gives specific advices for the given Sim (available only if you have Discover University EP)
Ask For Career Advice
Career Stand interactions:
Take a Free Pencil - but don't take too much, cause a teacher will not like it! ;)
Take a University Leaflet - once you have a leaflet you can also read it (available only if you have Discover University EP)
I think this is all I added within this mod. Of course, there is also a Career Aptitude Test, but I decided to release it separately, because it doesn't require High School Years pack (in contrast to this mod).
There is still 1 thing I wanted to add and I failed - I wanted to prolong the time of the event. Unfortunately, the duration is directly tied to school duration itself. Since school ends at 3 pm., the event also ends at that time. I started to create a custom Career Day, using all the features from this event, but the Career Day mechanism is so complicated it will be a lot of work on my end, so for now I release the mod without it, and maybe at some point I'll succeed with this event.

Hello, just wondering if you have incorporated the lovestruck and life and death careers into this mod? Also would you consider integrating this with DannitySimmer's Fashion Designer career so that one of the fashion designers can show up at the career day? She has an addon that would do that but I expect it would conflict with this. No worries if you aren't currently taking integrations for this. Hope you are doing well and having a great start to your year!
Lovestruck and L&D careers are not yet added. I thought I'd do it in December but I had so much work, and now January didn't start too well either. Sometimes I think about quitting my job but I know it would be hard :D
Hi! any idea why no professionals at all show up to the career day tables on career day?
At all? Hmm.... even the ones from the game? These ones should appear. Did you try only with my mod installed - to check if it's other mod that makes a conflict?

Hello where do i find the career day stands please?
Hi, it's in the game, from High school year pack.
Wait, so Career Day isn't just a cheap excuse not to have afternoon class or a boring check box for the Goal Oriented aspiration anymore?
Haha, it can still be used as an excuse though ^^
So excited to use this!!!
Thank you :)
I've been so excited for this one, thank you!
Thank you too!!! :)
Will this mod conflict with adeepindigo's Education Overhaul?
I've just checked and no, no conflict here :)
No one can do a French translation for this superb mod I’m not very good in English it’s a shame😔😔
I am sure Kimiko Soma will help soon here, when she has a moment :]
