Custom Career Mod: The Boxer Career

[ETA: Now ready for download over at MTS!]

The first mod/career mod that I've ever made will be out at MTS, hopefully soon, I submitted it late last night and will update this post when it's ready for download.  Some info about it, which will also be reiterated (mostly) on the release via MTS:




BOXER CAREER

Boxers work hours in the gym to improve at their craft because it's a tough and demanding way to make a living and establish a career.

It could be the toughest of all sports to survive.

Many fighters are drawn to the sport because they love the one-on-one competition and may have seen their heroes emerge victorious in a big fight and they want to emulate that success.

Having that desire is a small part of being successful. You need to have athletic ability and the determination to turn that into fighting skill.

It takes hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. Do you have what it takes?


Rabbithole: Stadium
Levels: 10
Ages: YA,A,E
Skill Building: Athletic, Logic, Charisma
Uniforms: I used the following game career outfits for males and females (not including elders) - sweats, athletic, athletic jacket.  I'm not sure how to incorporate custom uniforms or I would have tried to put in the boxing outfit, so if or until I figure it out those will have to do. Alternately, you can change the career outfit via CAS or style booth once your sim has joined the career.
Opportunities*: 5 included
Career Events/Chance Cards*: 5 included
Autographs: Ability to hold autograph sessions at the Stadium will be enabled once level 5 has been reached. The interaction will be available by clicking on the stadium.

Possible Future Revisions
  • Give celebrity points as rewards for opportunities, events/chance cards, and/or promotions. Need to see how/if this can be done.
  • Add more opportunities and/or events/chance cards.
  • Find out how to use boxing outfit as the uniform instead of the athletic outfits currently being used for the mod.

I have a 2nd career, an unusual one, that I've finished, but I can't get it to work, so will be redoing the mod from scratch, crossing my fingers in hopes that I can get it to work or figure out what went wrong and where.

Sim-u-later!
