Give Your Townies Jobs!!! | Making a Sims 4 Save File

[@shesrhirhi]

2 years later and this just SAVED my ass. thanks so much also ur so pretty! never regret showing yourself off :)

[@svogel6459]

The only thing that annoys me about doing make overs for randomly generated townies is when I get loaded into THEIR household instead of the one I'm actually playing 😩

[@xqids]

Are you using MCCC? If so, you're probably doing it wrong. Go to "Sim commands" then "Modify in CAS". Don't click "Modify Household in CAS".

@@xqids oh my god, thank you so much, I can finally edit townies again without worrying about switching to their household

I WISH EA would just make it so that we can assign sims to roles! it's the most annoying thing when someone they created a backstory for already suddenly disappears from their role. this mod sounds like a good fix for it though!

[@coralynnbrewer4502]

Thank you so much, no one has ever explained what to do with XML Injector once it is in your mods folder and when you go into your game and what to do from there. Wow. More than likely they assumed everyone knows this is what you need to do.

[@arenadi5776]

Thanks for working this one out! I'm in the same predicament right now. Your guides are well thought out and well put together :)

[@AJ-vr6kg]

Yes! Another video. You're one of the only KZbinr's I have on notifications and actively will stop what I'm doing to watch your videos! Pleaaaaase keep it up.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about this because of xml injector but it seems to be easy enough to do it by myself :D

[@simsbysky7000]

Yes! The XML Injector scared me away at first, but it actually is SUPER simple, you can totally handle it!

[@UnabashedErin]

I do all of this in manage worlds and then just mark the sims as unplayed. No mods needed. CAS mode does take forever though and it seems my game never stops generating townies. Pretty sure it is culling some Ive marked as unplayed too but I cant really tell unless I start uploading them to the gallery. Great suggestion btw.

[@its2good2betru]

You are too adorable and your videos are definitely helping me with my save file I am doing. Keep up the great work!

[@simsbysky7000]

ahhh thank you so much, and I am so glad that I am able to help ya out with your save file! you so got this! 💚💚💚💚

[@hangingwithnae]

Exactly what I was waiting for! Also, I love your glasses.

[@johnterpack3940]

Wicked Whims also lets you see townie information. Although it isn't quite as easy to read as the MCCC menu.

[@happygirl6480]

i love your vibe ^^ the background music + your voice is all comforting! thank you for this video and explaining everything you do so clearly and mentioning why you do it too!:)

[@SerenMaddison]

Yay! thank you so much for this helpful video! I'm excited for your next one 😊💕

[@fairyofdaisies]

i appreciate these videos so much! can't wait for the next one :)

[@fayemaka3037]

I did things the hard way. Got a completely empty townie free save file and made every sim from scratch, then assigned all their roles.

[@simsbysky7000]

That is the hard way, but also the most rewarding way to me!!!

[@UnabashedErin]

How did you get an empty townie free save file? Id like to try this.

[@fayemaka3037]

@@UnabashedErin Srslysims has a blank save file you can download. Just put the file in your save folder and load it up.

This is so helpful - off to watch your next video now 💖

[@inzanity490]

Thank you for this guide, but do you know if there's a mod that allows me to assign NPCs actual playable careers? One of my issues is that when I join a career, my sim has no coworkers, and I would love if there was a quick method to choose random townies to join that career without needing to manually play them and join the career.

[@BelsaliasMarymaeh]

Fantastic video, very high quality! Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver

[@kikithewitch3666]

[@celestevaccaro9509]

thank you so much!!!! the steps were to easy to follow so i greatly appreciate it!

[@wildcraft9741]

Thank you for making this! Super helpful!

[@Barzarel]

Just feel like mechanic to do it quick and easy should be there, especially if you have aging turned on. Since it would be a circle without end having to micromanage it.

[@minajmyles2687]

Wow I was looking for something like this. Can you assign npcs for the doctor career on your mod ?

[@simsbysky7000]

I just checked this out, and it seems like it doesn't give us the option for the doctor career, which is disappointing!

[@geneseperkins811]

Thank you for your videos! It help me a lot now ima make my own towniesI appreciate it 😃 ❤

[@Klondike877]

Nice, at least there is a solution to it, I wish EA gave us a proper interface to do it.

[@lmo6634]

thank you thank you thank you for this!

[@Ready-ForTheEnd]

How do I make my own npc households? I don't want to play them. I just want them to have their own lives. Marking them unplayed isn't good enough. I don't want them under "my households" and instead under "other households". Is there a way to do this? I want to create my own interesting stories.

[@robertdiomin6417]

Ahh !!! You are so cute! Your videos are so incredible and i am totally embracing your videos and insight!!!!

[@hidnay]

I don't have the "Assign NPC role" button on the characters, only on the mailbox where I don't see sim I need while scrolling the long list :( What can I do?

[@roflanrofler7956]

Same, moreover the list in mailbox is empty, maybe because there are no townies currently in my save, only playable sims, I thought I can assign them jobs though :(

[@hidnay]

​@@roflanrofler7956woah, how did you get rid of all the non-playable characters? I've been sitting for about forty minutes now and removing them one by one. I'm not sure if this will help... jaja :'D

[@hidnay]

​@@roflanrofler7956I've read somewhere that each job has criteria for potential employees, that could be a reason your list is empty. It includes age and traits. I don't understand why I can't hire a young-adult as a nanny though since it has to be adult+... Illogical to me xD

[@KingBasieSims4]

​@@hidnay your npc should also be homeless in a single house when you assign the roles. I've been playing around with that since I made multiple npc's for the same role. If they are in one household when you assign the role, you won't be able to see them on the list. So you have to make them a single sim household that is homeless, that's when they'll show up in the list for what ever role you want to assign them. I personally thus far haven't had an issue assigning young adults as nanny's. But I know you can't have an evil sim be one so the criteria is needed but I just don't understand how because in most cases it seems like any sim can be assigned anywhere with a few exceptions on some roles

[@hidnay]

@@KingBasieSims4 woah thank you very much for the reply! So I can't just make a full family and give them npc roles, right? How complicated :') I filled up some cities with families who have their own stories and wanted each family member to have his role hmhm...

[@evelyn-bq8rm]

do you know how many of each npcs jobs are needed for a save file example how many maids vendors ect?

[@KingBasieSims4]

Apparently the game generates 3 of each but to be safe I made 4 - 8 depending on the npc job. For instance where you have to hire an npc like maids, repairmen, nanny's etc, I made 4 of each. But jobs where npc's are needed at different lots or for different shifts like bartenders, market stall vendors etc, I made 8.

[@johnterpack3940]

@@KingBasieSims4 That's an awesome tip. I'll probably end up doing 4-8 of each per town. I have another mod that assigns townies to specific worlds. Having 4 nannies for the whole game wouldn't work because they wouldn't be allowed to travel to the other towns to work.

[@boringfish]

I don't see the option to assign npc roles. It's like the mod doesn't work at all in my game.

[@kasialisowski2868]

how do you make it that there are 4 items of clothing instead of just two when you are picking off the list of clothes in cas?

[@texxlady]

Is Zero's mod still working well? If not have a look at this update to Npcc from Cepzid "Update Hotfix of Public Npcc Paulson Mod" available on a public post (patreon).

[@KingBasieSims4]

Yes, Zero's mod mod still works. The most recent update was after the last months Patch Update and there was no need for an update after the month end patch update

[@franciscoimperial8513]

Were you referring to the free version of NPCC or the patreon version?

[@simsbysky7000]

I was referring to the free version of NPCC, the one that has its own website! It was working for me, for a long time, but just recently it started crashing my game!
