TS1 - Easy Careers

Here's a mod I made for personal usage some time ago, rerelease news motivated me to finally finish it. Installation instructions included in the .txt file. Doesn't affect Fame career (there's only this).

There are two versions, one include optional replacement Art career.

Note about different languages: This mod was build for USEnglish, but it should work with others as well. Things that won't work include: modifications to level titles (and numbers), descriptions and career names. Art career isn't localized, so choose Entertainment version. This note probably also applies to UKEnglish. See note about chance cards under the cut.

SFS / MEGA

Update 16 February 2025: made some changes in career titles to actually be more consistent; similar changes are coming soon in an update for my TS2 mod. Also, I'm dumb and didn't include the new Art career icon and buttons, it's now fixed, and installation instructions have been updated as well.

Update 25 May 2025: changed Services to Service.

Less drastic needs/motives drain

Removed friendship requirements

Tweaked skill requirements

Small changes and fixes to level titles and descriptions. Numbered level titles (similar to my Career Levels Numbered mod for TS2)

Some careers renamed (similar to my Careers Renamed mod for TS2)

(Life of Crime > Crime, Pro Athlete > Sport, X-treme Career > Xtreme Sport, Hacker > Information Tech, Musician > Music, Paranormal > Parapsychology, Slacker > Service, Circus > Circus Art, Culinary Arts > Culinary Art)

Optional replacement for Entertainment career (because Fame career makes it look obsolete to me): Art career. Icons are from TS2, titles and descriptions from many different TS2 (and 3?) ports

Chance cards that promote to different careers replaced with new, regular chance cards. New cards descriptions for USEnglish only - feature itself works for all languages, but outcomes won't make sense with card descriptions

"Standardized" salary and working hours. All sims now work from 8AM to 3PM, children now come home an hour later at 4PM. Each level now adds §100 to overall salary, because I was lazy with that one I wanted equality. Level 10 now pays only §1000, so this whole mod isn't too overpowered

[kuolemankukka]

25 years since the sims 1 was first released! to celebrate, i made this silly little set consisting of some posters and a rugs, both with some iconic and nostalgic themes.

all the concept art and such of course belong to ea/maxis. i sourced a lot of these from simscommunity.info, which is a fantastic site overall. i also used this sims 3 icons pack by flabaliki, this sims 2 hq icons pack by eddysims and also this build-a-sim icon pack by deathbypufferfish. 🖤 big thanks to these folks!

✨ posters: 25 swatches (hehe) ✨ rugs: 5 swatches (one for each ts1 neighborhood screen of course!) ✨ both are base game compatible

A note for the fellow strugglers in TS1

Hey, it's Seth! I know how frustrating TS1 can be (considering it's age and being the first game in the franchise), so I am here to introduce a list of personal must have mods and programs, which I always use whenever I re-install the game to make it more user-friendly. The list itself is quite short, actually, since it only consists of my personal gameplay choice mods. So there's no building objects, deco, skins and heads there.

MODS AND CC

This calendar will report the day of the month to your sims and -- and this is amazing -- even introduce a concept of days off. Sims should have about every 6th and 7th day off. - THE ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. It's in the painting section and costs 15 simoleons. Works a bit wonky with children, but otherwise a very useful mod to have.

Call work/give interview job phone plugins to give your sim a day off. - I use those mostly when sims have to take care of the baby.

A family mod by Gothi_family_4ever. - another must have in my collection, introduces the familial relationships in game! No more inappropriate relationships between relatives. It's a 0 simoleon painting, which you can delete once you've done.

A hacked frigde mod by the same author. - allows your sims to put their food into the refrigirator, call the household members for the meal, and requires the usage of products (like meat and in-game vegetables) in order to cook a dish instead of insta-paying. You kinda have to build a grocery shop for your sims, so they could buy the required products, I prefer to install the stalls into the pre-existing farm shop in Old Town area. P.S DON'T FORGET TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLING BEFORE DRAGGING ANY FILE. As much as I love this mod, I don't, for example, use their cereal add-on.

The Elixir ExpressiBuy Computer. - a computer that allows you to buy any in-game buyable product (like vacation gifts, grocery, tonics, etc etc) in stock. They won't magically appear overnight but would be brought by a special courier npc. It also allows your sim to research logic, creativity, culinary and mechanical skills. I'd also recommend diving further into their site, since they have a lot of cool and unique gameplay content as well!

MagiCo's Bookshelf of Dimensional Storage - the official Maxis item, that was in the 'Get Cool Stuff' section. Allows your sims to keep their magic coins and ingrediends in special bookshelf storage, I mostly use it so the kids could get the ingredients for their spells from the adults. It is in the Magic section, btw

The Magic Mirror - the only outright cheat object that I have in my possesion. This mirror refreshes your sims needs, builds skills, friends, stardom, etc. Saves headaches when you are not in the mood to fullfill your sims' mood, ha-ha.

PROGRAMS

SimEnchancer 3D - basically a program that allows you to change the basic sim's attributes, including their heads and bodytypes. If you are familiar with TS2's SimPE, you'd have the idea how it works. NOTE: if you have to run your TS1 game as an administrator, you'd have to open it up in the same vein as well. And don't forget to backup your UserData files when you are working with it, just in case!

The Sims Creator - the official Maxis program for players to create some basic skins content. The program is only suitable to work with head and skins textures and not the meshes! Likewise, if you have to open the game as an administrator, you'd have to do the same with that program.

NEIGHBORHOODS

This section for the fellow premade enjoyers out there, who mostly played TS2 before and decided to give the local premades a chance as well

Here you can download the original UserData 1 and 2 if you want to reset your neigborhoods as they were if you had already played the neighborhood before and want to start anew. The Sims Wiki also gives you an instruction for how to do so.

And here you can download the additional Maxis families like The Hatfield, The Maximus, The Mashuga, The Snooty, The Jones and that weird agent White House familes. For some reasons, some of them refused to function in my game, so I had to install the empty houses and recreate them by hand, using the SimEnchancer and Wikia to give them appropriate skills and careers.

OTHER

Sims 1 Alternative UI - refreshes your game by a margin. I really recomend this one!

Well, that's basically it! I hope, my list would help you as well!

― Shadow Moon Challenge by @simbonez

Meet Near Nocturne. You may know her.

(TW: Death, Missing)

Perhaps the reason Near likes the sound of rain is that she was born at a Convent in Windenburg on a rainy night. Her mother, who had a chronic illness, fell asleep very deeply after she finished giving birth, and her father went missing the year she turned 5. (Spoiler: He is now in Sixam)

Near was admitted to the Convent's nursery by a midwife who helped her at birth. She was adopted by a wealthy family within a year. But when she turned 18, while her foster parents were baking her birthday cake, the house caught fire and both her foster parents died.

The trauma of losing her family wasn't great, as she's used to the fast-changing environment. But she's still scared of fire.

Plus, she's a total narcissist.

Recommended Mods for The Sims 1

This is my archive for tracking the Sims 1 mods I’ve added to my game. Since I started playing Sims 1 again recently, I will continue to update this list as I discover new mods and remove those that don’t work for me. Please check back frequently for updates!

If you want to play Sims 1 like me on a Windows 11 computer, you can check out my blog post on that here. 😀

MONEY & JOB MODS

Online bank computer

This computer allows Sims to pay their bills online, as well as find a job and chat online - no more waiting for the newspaper or visitors!

No Forced Career Change at Level 10

Usually, if you reach Level 10 of any career, you only get to stay at Level 10 for a short time before the game forces you into a different career path at a lower level. This mod eliminates that and allows your sim to keep the job that they worked hard for.

Link: http://corylea.com/countdown/countdownlua.cgi?NoForcedCareerChangeAtL10.zip

Call Work

With this phone plugin you will have the option to call work and tell them you are sick and can't go to work. If you do that you get the day off and they can't fire you for staying at home. You can stay home as long as you like, just make the call every day.

Call Interview

This is a phone plugin for Superstar. It will give you the alternative "Give Interview" on the phones at home for Sims in the Superstar career track. Just call and give an interview, you will get paid and your fame will go up, it never goes down.

MOTIVES & SKILLS

Need Decay Crystal Mod

Turn this magic crystal ON, and need decay stops completely. You can still increase or decrease a need if you DO something, though. What this mod stops is the need DECAY. For example, if you work out on the exercise machine, your Energy and Hygiene will decrease, just as they always do when you use the exercise machine. But needs won't decay simply from time passing. It looks like a blue crystal on a gold base and can be found in the Decorative - Sculpture section of the catalog.

Learning Brings Fun Bookcase

Adult & teenage sims recognise that learning can bring fulfilment in the future, no matter how miserable they are. Increases cooking and mechanical skills.

Directory: Put this in The Sims\GameData\Objects

Party Plant

Looks like a party plant. Maximises all motives for all Sims on the lot, except for Social, which is adjusted just enough to stop unhappiness. Perfect for making friends and having babies. No menu, just delete when you've had enough.

Link: https://simlogical.com/sl/downloads/motives/ijpartyplant.zip

Directory: Put this in The Sims\GameData\Objects

Party Plant (Visitors Only)

Same as Party Plant above, but acts on visitors only. Visitors are counted as anyone who does not live permanently on the lot, so this would act on NPC's and friends who visit.

Link: https://simlogical.com/sl/downloads/motives/ijpartyplantvisonly.zip

Motives Maxer Outhouse

Outhouse (requires Makin' Magic EP). It satisfies ALL needs, but not when all motives are already high.

Faster Skills Bookcase

A bookcase that skills 2x faster. For those who only want to cheat a moderate amount. :-)

This plant is buyable from your catalogue, and can be placed on any tile. But more importantly it can summon any Sim including NPCs to your lot at pre-set daily times, wearing your choice of clothing type. Should work with any EP.

Visitor Enabler

When turned on from its menu, it gives all visiting neighbours the same powers as residents - cook from fridges, stay the night, use showers etc. Turn off from menu and visitors instantly revert to helplessness.

Directory: Put this in The Sims\GameData\Objects

Zappers

Objects that get rid of certain objects and visitors from the lot. None of these kill the Sim or destroy the object permanently, they work by waiting until the thing or person shows up then deleting that particular instance. That means the same thing might show up again and be zapped again - until you remove the zapper.

Relationship Mods

No More Relationship Decay

When you make friends in The Sims, you have to keep up with them, because your relationship declines gradually over time. This mod stops that from happening, so you no longer need to maintain relationships.

I use Version 2: Eliminate Relationship Decay AND More Walk-Bys, which also means more people from your neighborhood will pass your lots.

Baby Gives Social

This mod allows your sims' social need to increase when interacting with a baby.

Directory: Put this in The Sims\GameData\Objects

Flirt with and Compliment Friends

In the unmodded game, the Flirt interaction disappears when your sim's relationship with another sim is over 60, and Compliment/Admire disappears when the relationship is over 40. This mod changes that; Flirt and Compliment will still be available all the way up to 100.  

Link: http://corylea.com/countdown/countdownlua.cgi?FlirtWithAndComplimentFriends.zip

Directory: Put this in The Sims\GameData\Global\PesonGlobals.iff - not in a folder!

Note: There can only be one mod in your Globals folder. If you want to use this mod with the Joke and Families and Friends Mod, download this instead: http://corylea.com/countdown/countdownlua.cgi?FlirtWith&ComplimentFriendsANDJokeWithFriendsANDFamiliesAreFriendsMods.zip

Joke with Friends

In an unmodded, game, sims lose the ability to tell a joke to someone when their relationship goes over 70. So you can only tell jokes to acquaintances and casual friends. nThe Joke with Friends Mod lets you tell jokes all the way up to a relationship level of 100.  

Link: http://corylea.com/countdown/countdownlua.cgi?JokeWithFriendsMod.zip

Directory: Put this in The Sims\GameData\Global\PersonGlobals.iff - not in a folder!

Note: There can only be one mod in your Globals folder. If you want to use this mod with the Flirt & Compliment and Families and Friends Mod, download this instead: http://corylea.com/countdown/countdownlua.cgi?FlirtWith&ComplimentFriendsANDJokeWithFriendsANDFamiliesAreFriendsMods.zip

Families Are Friends Mod

In the unmodded game, families are created with a relationship of 20; this mod makes newly created families have a relationship of 50. This mod affects only NEWLY CREATED families, so families that were made before you installed it will not be changed.

Link: http://corylea.com/countdown/countdownlua.cgi?FamiliesAreFriendsMod.zip

Directory: Put this in The Sims\GameData\Global \PersonGlobals.iff - not in a folder!
