The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

You can also use the City Hall to register as self employed.

[Blackrosea]

You can also register on your phone. Let us know if you have tried all the ways mentioned.

It never works when I use the phone. My computer hates me though so that probably is just my computer.

Okay, so self-employed alchemy isn't coming up at City Hall, on the phone, or the computer. Haven't tried riding yet.

You are using the latest update for you game as well right?

[Blackrosea]

Oh forgot to ask if you are able to get the self-employment for other skills if the Sim has other skills? Are other Sims able to get self-employment?

[dontmindme]

I only have Pets and Supernatural, so riding and alchemy are the only self-employed skills I have. And yes, I am playing the up-to-date version of the game.

[Trip]

That might be the problem. If you don't have Ambitions, you can't be self-employed.

[Jamie]

Are we allowed to use a mod that turns off all other mods for this dynasty file? I believe I read that in the rules for the Deca and Life States dynasties but I don't see it here.

[Trip]

Since the rules about mods are consistent throughout all the dynasties, I'd say yes, but I'll leave it to Metro and the others to decide. I find it easier to just have a separate folder for my games with mods and switch between the two depending on what I want to play.

That's why I ask if you have Ambitions earlier.    Without the ambitions xpac, you will not be able to register as self-employed.

Trip is correct, you can use a mod to turn off all your mods.

Great! Thank you, Trip and Nutella.

....but I used to be able to register as self-employed. Did one of the new patches change that?

I did some testing, removed my ambitions on a test file, I was not able to register as self employed alchemist.  When I put ambitions xpac back in, I was able to. 

Do you remember what profession you used to be able to register as self employed?

[dontmindme]

I used to be able to register as an alchemist. Every witch I have still pops the wish to become one which is part of my confusion.
