Yet Another Major Revamp: Semi-Realism Edition + make-your-own toolkit!🥳
This is an edit of Phaenoh' Realistic Major to Career Linking BUT with the following BENEFITS:
🌟 NOT REALISTIC... BUT MAXIS-REALISM: this edit made the ideal careers for each major somewhat logical and coherent (consult the table below for the changes) yet respects the internal logic of the game because Maxis' humor is underrated, slacker and criminal are treated as serious career pathways in this game so why not 🤩
🌟 ALL MAJORS BALANCED ⚖️: frustrated with the lack of benefits that some majors offer compared to others? want an easier time being a job-hopper?? what do you mean my skills aren't transferable in this market??? WELL:
All majors are now supporting at least 5 or more careers
Art [6]: Adventurer, Architecture, Artist, Culinary, Gamer, Slacker
Bio [5]: Athletic, Medicine, Natural Sci, Ocean, Science
Drama [6]: Athletic, Dance, Entertainment, Law, Politics, ShowBiz
Econ [5]: Business, Criminal, Music, Politics, Show Biz
History [5]: Adventurer, Artist, Law, Military, Politics
Lit [6]: Artist, Edu, Entertainment, Journalism, Law Enf, Music
Math [6]: Business, Culinary, Edu, Gamer, Natural Sci, Science
Philo [5]: Culinary, Law Enf, Music, Paranormal, Slacker
Physics [5]: Athletic, Dance, Medicine, Ocean, Science
PolSci [5]: Intelligence, Journalism, Law, Military, Politics
Psych [6]: Architecture, Business, Criminal, Edu, Intelligence, Paranormal
All careers are now supported by 2 or more majors, only the Politics career is supported by 4 (cause Maxis' choice was so good I didn't want to touch it!)
8 careers that require degree (only available for graduate): Architecture, Education, Intelligence, Law, Medicine, Nat Sci, Oceanography, Science.
Credits: Phaenoh (for the base mod I edited and the tutorial!), SimPE
mods that lock/unlock degree requirements like Lamare's getUniCareerWithoutEducation - Lamare unlocks career for all while mine does the same but keeps NatSci only for graduates
any mods do the same thing (Belladovah's, Phaenoh's & Cyjon's) which you might want to consider shopping around first before picking mine so look below 🛍️🛒👀
also conflicts with lauratje86's but their mod works with default replacement majors so it can't be covered here, check it out though!
note: Cyjon altered some majors' names and skill requirements (he also hates Philosophy methinks), Phaenoh offers a different version that changes which career requires degree (just like mine but ADDED Business), Belladovah offers Education version in which every major benefits the Education career.
📁 MOD RESOURCE: Linking Maxis Majors & Degrees to Maxis Career Toolkit 🥳
🎯 Difficulty: EASY (no modding experience needed)
It's easier to customize own or track which majors your career is linked to with a bunch pre-made templates right???
Download my edited mod as a base & start making edits 📝 Have these templates to easily cross-reference 0x2(2) values you need to change in SimPE following PHAENOH'S TUTORIAL.
The templates will look like the 2 tables you see above, they are available in:
odt (highly recommended, easy to use word doc file with Phaenoh's tutorial included)
csv (for both of the tables you see above)
Comparison Table - use to compare your edits to MAXIS original
Career By Major Table - work out which major supports your career and calculate 0x2(2) values
4. zip (for SiYuan users to import, highly rec because I used that program to make the tables, it's Notion but ✨uglier and offline✨)
