Self-employment
« on: July 09, 2013, 09:52:21 AM »
Does one have to have ambitions to register as self employed? If so, I sure can't see buying an EP for that one feature. Is there maybe a mod for that?

Thanks.

I believe that self-employment was added in the patch that accompanied Ambitions, meaning you don't actually need the expansion to be self-employed. As long as your patches are up-to-date, you should be good.

Just make sure you already have a skillpoint in your career of choice before you go to City Hall to register as self-employed. Otherwise, the option won't show up.

This is because you actually need Ambitions to be self-employed.

That's what I originally asked, so is there a mod for this? I hate to buy ambitions for 1 measly thing

Twallan has a module for his Careers mod that gives more self-employment options. It won't unlock those that came with Ambitions, but it gives options to be self-employed in fields that Ambitions didn't provide self-employment for. I have no idea if this will work without Ambitions or not, but it's the closest thing I could find. :-\

Before you give up, did you install the base-mod as well as the module I linked to?

I did but it still wouldn't work so I guess 'it's not in the cards' for me, Oh well, such as it is.
Thanx anyway for trying to help. I appreciate it.

Not to muddy the waters here, but I thought self-employment careers came in a patch, too.  Can anyone offer more confirmation either way?

Out of curiosity, Kiki, what does it say in your launcher in the bottom right corner for Version?

I can't remember it word for word, but it's something like translation 3, then it says some 'jibberish'   LOL, then accept
