smallcatsims has started uploading some regency era careers defaults please check em out!!!

Regency Career Pack Part I: Uni Careers

Finally, I’m ready to release my first career pack. This has  been an ongoing project for many months and is part of a collab by the Historical Sims discord. I’ve done a fair bit of the actual writing and have permission to upload the careers so here goes.

You may have seen some of these careers before. I’ll leave those versions up but they have some typos/errors that have been fixed here, and this is a career pack so the pay scale and some of the “lore” I included is consistent across all of them. I tried to make the pay realistic and challenging as appropriate for the era. Mostly the lower levels start out between $15-95 simoleans, the middle levels are $150-400 simoleans, and the higher levels cap out at about $750-900 simoleans. There are some outliers like the Pauper career (to be released) the Politics career (also to be released, and the idea is that only wealthy landowning males run for office so the pay reflects that) and the Courtier career which is based off of the royal titles in the Victorian Challenge by @victoriansimmer and uses the pay outlined in the challenge rules. Generally the writing style is a bit “goofy” and maxis match. I don’t know how to change the icons or LTW text so I’m sorry, that won’t match the defaults. They’re meant for the regency era but I tried to make the careers flexible enough to fit in the Victorian era as well if needed.

This pack includes the uni careers. I’ll be releasing my careers by ep in a zip file. Everything will be clearly labeled in case you only want certain careers replaced.

Credits to @victoriansimmer of course for her victorian challenge, lovely personality, and the Historical Sims discord where this collab took place, @simbury for resources, knowledge, helpful ideas for the Natural Science and Paranormal defaults which were really hard for me to come up with, and just generally being the high queen of everything and anything regency related. Credit also to @kidinthenight who I’m pretty sure started the whole idea of this career pack and made some of the original files as well as a document that I used, @morgaine2005 who made a lot of the original medieval career replacements and inspired many of my ideas, aysarth who allowed us to use a lot of their ideas and custom regency careers (I don’t know if they have a tumblr. Let me know if they do and I’ll tag them.)

TLDR these replace the four uni careers, they have a consistent style and payscale and a bunch of amazing people helped to create them.

 Spoilers under the cut, and here is the link to the files!

TheNinethWave’s No Roaches; No_Roaches_TNW - DOES CONFLICT, BUT CAN BE USED TO PREVENT ACTUAL ROACH SPAWNING

What’s new?

New Trait and Trait Support

Farmhand - This trait is meant to help sims do the jobs around the farm that need doing such as filling troughs and raking dung. 

Other items also make use of various Traits made by others, detailed in the sections that follow.

Troughs Consolidated

Now any animal can use 1 of 4 Troughs (High,Low, BBNiche, or Bathtub). Low Trough spawns slop, High/Bathtub Trough spawns Hay, BBNiche spawns Meat. All of these also spawn water.

Trait Support; Animal Lover, farmhand and Servant trait autonomously fill troughs without a tool

Trait Support; Royals, Nobility and Gentry need an inventory tool to fill troughs or scoop poop

Poultry Consolidated/Updated

Chicken/Duck/Geese no longer have individual coops. A base coop will use Easy Lot Check to see if there are any female fowl on the lot and offer eggs. Much like the Rabbit Hutch, the coops act as the chicken feeding station itself. If male fowl are present on the lot, Eggs for Hatching of the appropriate species of birds will appear.

Poultry Market Vendor added. Will spawn one random female per purchase, or the selected male.

All female fowl are now huntable/edible for pets.

Female birds have a 5% chance every 24 hours to lay eggs in a place other than a coop/nesting box.

-Poultry Spawners; will spawn any female bird of their respective species.

Livestock Dung

Trait Support; Servants and neat sims automatically clean dung

Trait Support; Eco-friendly, farmhand and green thumb sims automatically collect poop

If sim has a “clean poop trait” and a “collect poop” trait, the collect poop trait takes priority (eco-friendly servants collect autonomously, for example)

Livestock Animals

All share the new troughs.

Goats may now also eat slop from the low trough.

New Rooting Spot for hogs. Hogs may also use the Gone Fishin’ Bait Rock for a food source.

Collection

Everything Catalog Unlocked

Reference Tome

Allows for a sim to quickly get information on each animal such as products produced, lifespan, and timing information

Pressing Matters - Oil Production

The Sunflowers: The backbone and starting point of oil production begins with grown and harvesting sunflowers. This is an industrial style season crop that needs to be fertilized. Come fall, harvest those seeds for oil, or food if times are pressing.

The Botanicals Book: This serves as an inventory tool for sims to posses to either do autonomous actions or to bypass trait restrictions.

The Oil Press: This crafting station is mainly used to process Sunflower Seeds into All Purpose Oil. However it can also process Animal Lard, Olives, Grapes, and Coconuts into all purpose oil.

If sims have access to Lavender, Lemons, Oranges, or Peppermint they can also press Raw Essential oils. These raw oils have no value until they’re processed further.

The Oil Distiller: This crafting station can take those Raw Oils, and turn them into Pure Essential Oils. If sims have access to Rosemary or Wild Roses, they can also distill additional Essential Oils of Rose and Rosemary.

The Essential Oil Burner: Makes rooms smell good and boosts different motives. Requires Essential Oils and Natural Tealight Candles to function though.

The Oil Lamps: Aside from cooking, all the All Purpose oil can be used to light up sims homes. With the Functional Oil Lamps, sims will put oil into the light and then turn it on. It will burn for eight hours. If sims have an oil bottle in inventory and it’s night, they may autonomously light oil lamps. For those who don’t want to worry about fueling their oil lamps, and identical set of No Fuel Lamps has been included.

okay so i've seen some masterposts for medieval games but never for a regency game, and there's A LOT of regency cc out there, we always get asked on the historical sims discord (that you should join us here!) where to get started when building your folder from scratch. and it'll also be helpful for when i decide to do a rebuild of my downloads folder since my game is crashing already lol. if you're interested on this type of lists, let me know and i'll do more detailed ones :)

the plumbbob keep aka medievalsims.com: the home of sun & moon and all historical cc related. there's a bunch of things in here, i recommend making an account and just take a look at each topic and forum you possibly can, also the search option is quite handy for when you're looking for an specific era, like the regency.

simbury / cupcakeyy: the queen of the sims regency, for real. she has made sooo many cc for this era that you can find on her tumblr, livejournal, gos, even on pbk! she also has a cc finds tumblr that's a great place to start.

maya40: another queen. she often collaborates with cupcakeyy, they have an awesome bonnet collab that's an absolute must have for any regency game.

sun & moon: i know i've mentioned them already, but they deserve their own section. maaany amazing mods they made, i have literally all of them, except for anything too medieval or fantastic (and even then i've made some exceptions). there are things like laundry, butter churning, better farming, livestock, candle crafting, TEA. everything is functional and very detailed. you can't really play a historical game without their stuff.

dicreasy: her stuff is a bit late for this time period, but due to the lack of many cc creators that focus on the regency, we have to get creative and include victorian stuff. thankfully, di has a lot of gorgeous stuff that works very nice for any 19th century english inspired game. if you love food defaults, or defaults in general like me, you should check out hers.

hat-plays-sims: speaking of defaults, we cannot forget the almighty hat. she has defaulted like every single thing your sims will use for something textured more rustic or medieval-like. also, HER HAIR DUMPS! if you are a fan of pookleted hairs, that also fit a historical game, hat is your go-to.

ladyaqua's regency era pinterest board: pinterest boards are your best friends when you're building an historical folder, watch out for dead links tho. but still, veryyyy helpful.

yandereplumsims: another amazing clothing creator, she has so many good stuff that i also have like all of her stuff.

heget's 18th century clothing dump: this is quite early for us, but we're still using it. specially the men attire that we lack in every era. the lower classes wouldn't be up to date with the fashion and would still wear clothes from the past century. the dresses are a bit of a stretch though, and they still look a bit too fancy even for lower class to wear. luckily, the other creators i've mentioned have lower class women covered :)

changeling / feydecay-blog: another great 19th century cc creator, has recently released some painting defaults that are *chefs kiss*

delonariel: more maxis-match, but has some historical deco clutter, conversions, even some lovely rustic defaults.
