This list is so helpful, I was looking into filling some NPC roles in my save file to prevent at least some of the game's natural random generation. A few questions:
- Do the NPC careers operate differently to the user-selected careers? For example, if I load a sim from my gallery that has a normal career, can I also assign them the NPC career? As far as I know, sims retain user selected careers even when they're categorized as 'unplayed'.
- Can a sim have multiple NPC careers?
NPC careers operate similarly to user-selected careers with 2 differences:
- It has weird work times.
- If the sim with the career is in the active household after the loading screen, it'll be removed.
So, you can assign an NPC career to a sim downloaded from the Gallery, but they'll lose their normal career. Of course the exception comes when no career is required, only a trait.
Sims cannot have multiple NPC careers unfortunately. One at the time. Again, if there are roles that only require the trait, they are allowed to appear in that role.
Thank you so much, that answers my question exactly.
