Re: [NEEDS INPUT] [V] Musical Genius: Mentoring in Music Not Fulfilling
i have the same issue as yours. So I tested this with the premade vampire sims, Caleb, Lilith and Vlad. I used the cheat for going into the last step of musical genius, and put Caleb's all instrument skills up to 10 by cheat. After that, I tried to Caleb to mentor Lilith in guitar, and it worked.... I got surprised. So I activated Vlad and had him mentor other human sims now, then it worked. I asked myself how come only my sim doesn't work on this? I opened the a bit old game that I have another my own vampire living with a spell caster sim. Luckily, my another vampire sim was challenging the musical genius aspiration and he simply can mentor my spell caster sim on pipe organ. And it worked...? So now I'm thinking about that my current vampire sim might have the sim bug?
Have you tried that with other vampire sims? I'd like to hear they have the same issue in your game if it's possible.🙂
As for switching to the other branch of the career, it's designed that way since the base game was released. So there are 3 things I do to switch to the other branch.
1. I choose a different career after quitting the chef field for a couple of months sim time, then goes back to Culinary, then I can work from level 4 again, then I can choose Mixology field.
2. I save my household after quitting the chef career, then open him in the new game, then he can choose a culinary career again, then he can start from the low level at Culinary career, then Mixoolgy
3. Recently I use this way that my sim goes for skill class in university town, then get the Mixology certificate while taking some classes. I don't need to enroll the univ to take these classes. The certificate comes randomly while taking classes. Any type of skills are fine. From Charisma skill class, Baking skill class..doesn't matter. After that, do find job, then I can see Mixologist in job panel, then my sim can start from level 6, Mixology branch, in Culinary career.
