NPCC Mod & Amount of careers per Sim

Hello, I've downloaded a new mod today called NPCC. I was wondering if someone who is familiar with the mod can help me out with a question I can't seem to find the answer to: is it possible to assign multiple careers to Sims, or just one? For instance, can an NPC be a Garden shop owner, a gardener, and a master herbalist? Can someone be a mixologist, a pub owner, and a barista? Etc. Would be helpful to know... thanks!

  • @ZackReturns Hello!  First, I just wanted to say that it's probably best to contact the creator via their website or Patreon.  Since EA does not support mods, this may not be the best place to get answers for them.  Personally, I don't have the NPCC mod, but I did a little research.  Based on what I've read, mostly from the mod website, it appears that you can only assign one job per sim.  I didn't find anything that said this explicitly but I also did not find specific instructions for multiple jobs.  So, the best way to test this is in game.  I suggest creating a test save so that you don't inadvertently corrupt your current save.  In the new save, try assigning a job to a sim, leave the lot and come back to make sure they have it.  Then try to assign them another job and see what happens.  Hope this helps!

  • You're right, my bad. I originally wanted to post this on thesims forums, but I wasn't able to since you have to write a ton of replies in other threads before being allowed to. I figured other fans also browsed these threads and might be able to offer insight, but I realize now that only bug reports should be posted here - sorry about that. Feel free to delete the thread.

    @ZackReturns  This particular section of Answers HQ is for discussing Sims 4 in general, so questions about mods are completely fine.  (Bug reports have their own separate section.)  It's sometimes the case that no one here knows a particular mod well enough to offer advice for it, but that doesn't mean you can't ask.  And there's no reason to delete the thread either.

    Hey @ZackReturns !  I second what @puzzlezaddict said.  I apologize for making you think you did anything wrong. :-(  I only meant there may be better options, especially if you're looking for a quick answer.  Although it looks like @Hay_Dk1 wins. :-) 

    So, I did a bit more digging and it seems like you might have to be a patron to ask questions through Patreon for NPCC.  The most recent public posting was around 2 years ago.  Something else to consider, for questions about mods in general, is maybe posting on reddit's The Sims 4 section.  They also have a discord you can join.  They seem to have a fairly large community there and you can begin posting immediately. I'm not in the Discord and I haven't posted on Reddit myself but I've found some very useful information there.  Apologies again. I hope this helps!
