WIP - Career Day Overhaul - further improvements

I am working currently on further improvements to Career Day Overhaul mod, mostly the separate event, that your Sim will be able to organize anytime they want and it will last 10h.

I thought I'd finish this week, but I might have a delay as the last details take me, as always, the longest time. I still need to improve few things how the event works. It might seem that this is exactly the same event as the one added in HSY pack, but I had to create almost everything from the scratch for it to work outside of the high school 馃槄

Meanwhile I'm finishing the work on this, you have the last chance to propose some additions to this mod :D Maybe there will be something I could add quickly. Because when I release it now, I probably won't touch it for some longer time, unless new career is added to the game ;)

Also I was thinking about enabling the event for adults, not only teens, what do you think? Poll is added, so please vote :) Of course I mean my custom event, not the one that is happening straight after classes.

I forgot to add when I orginally asked if it could be combined with Danity Simmer's mod if you could also include the careers that you don't have in here from Eldritch Chao. In case you never saw this one here's the link I believe there a few a few they have that are not included in yours but I could be wrong lol https://modthesims.info/d/677230/more-variety-career-day.html

As much as I would like to, I can't add here all custom careers. I removed the part from my mod that was conflicting with Danity SImmer's mod, but I will not now add other custom careers, I'm, sorry, I stated it from the very beginning of the mod creation. I will still try to think how to enable other creators to add their careers to the event, without conflicting with each other (cause my mod will actually not conflict, as I added completely new stands for new careers), but even if I manage, it still will be on them, as I can't be responsible for checking if other creator's mod is still working, compatible etc. For example, Danity Simmer can expand her Career Day add-on and create the same interactions as in my mod, and using injectors add them to the event. It will work. So I don't limit creators here. They can add the same add-on to their careers as Danity Simmer did and it WILL work with my mod. The problem is, they will conflict with each other - but maybe at some point I'll figure it out, how to help with it.

Totally all ages, because people truly do make changes at every part of the lifespan. Also it would tie in so well with a mid-life crisis and bucket lists which are kind of all about changes and trying new things all through life.

This is true, you can make changes at every part of your life.

the over controlling parent or grandparent coming along to encourage or push a certain direction?

Interesting! I might have an idea how to implement it, but I'm not sure I'd manage to make it autonomous action.

I voted for every age. But elders. Because i think every age has different needs durings a career day. Teens want to figure what to do in life, ya could look for internships maybe. Or job oportunities for their degrees. Adults can look for a new direction, or maybe more pragmatic direct jobs oportunities. Id love having career day being a gameplay alternative to use phone to get a job... Even if at least 1 job finding funding overhaul already exists

thank you for this comment :) the last part is my plan as well, but definitely not for now, as this will require some more work from me, creation of entire system :) But yes, getting a job offer during the event - that would be the utimate goal 鉂わ笍
