Internship Mod
🕑 Added 2022-09-18 10:13:07 +0000 UTCUpdated for latest patch. March 14th 2023 (Infant Update)
!!! For some weird reason when the paid mechanical engineering internship ends there is a LE. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening. In the mean time if you want to avoid using it, that would be best.

This mod was supposed to be much smaller than what it is now, so I apologize for the delay. I had a project that I had to work on, which took most of my time.
This mod will introduce internships into your game. The system Your sims can now find internships, apply there and work there for a certain amount of time. I felt like this was an important aspect of professional development, especially for your sims who have just graduated high school or university or are in the middle of college and would like some work experience. I have a save where I didn't know what to do with my YA's who just graduated from college, and now I am glad I can find them up with an internship!
You can start finding internships by contacting the internship placement agency. You will find the menu on your phone in the work category. By clicking on "Go to Internship Agency," you be asked if you want to be a client.
By saying yes, you can the documents you will be asked to submit a few things. Once that is done you will be contacted by an agent. The agent will walk you through the next step.
Now the system I built for this internship mod is that you may want to be offered a job later after you are done with the internship or whatever other thing you are doing.
So the available internships are directly related to the in-game job. From all of the packs. Once you receive the call from your agent about a tailored list of internships being ready for you. You can pick one from the list. Now this list is tailored to your sim in terms of skills or traits. If your sim has certain skills or traits that match a certain internship job, then they will be given the option to choose the internship.
For example, a sim with high mischief skills will be offered a criminal job internship, or if they have evil or mean traits. A sim who is a genius might have the option to join a data scientist internship, but they won't get the medical internship option.
These are all of the internships you can choose from.
This is an example of a list that does not include all of the internships, but ones tailored to a specific sim.
Once
yo
p
ck an internship, you will choose a length that works for you. After this, your sim will go to an interview jus
to see if they are a good fit for the company. If they are then they can start the internship.
You can click on start internship on the computer in the career menu. When you are about to start you will be asked whether
or not you want to choose a travel internship. I thought it would be a cool idea to add travel internships because it would be nice to have sims gone for a while and add some nuance to the story.
The way the travel internships work is that based on the length of time you chose, your sim will be gone for that am
unt of time. Once the week, or 2 weeks or 4 weeks are over, they will come back home.
There are social interactions that may show up for you sim depending on the situation. So you should look out for those. For example, the farewell ones will only show up if your sim chose the travel internship. If your sim gets a job offer an interaction for that will be available.
After your internship is over, both the travel internship and the home-based internship, you will be able to check i
you have received a job offer.
You could not receive a job offer. You could also receive one. The job offers are also based on skill so if you suck at
l
t's say, programming, you are most likely not going to get the job.
If you do get the job offer, you can accept it, and you will start at a specific level based on what job it is.
Finally, there is a cheat menu. If you left-shift click on your sim and press cheatsiminfo you will find it. If you want to get an internship or a job offer immediately, you can use this method.
If you also want to complete an internship, you can do this. The option to apply for an internship is also in the cheat menu so if you do not want to go through the agency services you can skip it.
Important!
The mod is bgc, but the job offers aren't seeing as they are part of certain packs. You can delete the files from the packs you do not own and I believe it will be fine.
Questions and concerns you might have?
Is it BGC?
Yup just remove the files that require a pack you do not have from the folder. When you download the file you will understand the files you should delete.
The "Congratulate on job offer" interaction is bugging"
The animation I used was from Get Famous. I don't know how the game might interpret the animation with someone who. might not have GF. Please let me know if this is happening to you.
Why is the Dream Home Decorator Career not here?
I don't have DHD so I can't mod that pack.
Can we add custom careers?
If you have custom careers you want me to integrate you can tell me!
I'm experiencing some weird bugs!
Let me know, please. I dealt with a lot of files when creating this mod, so something might not work the way I wanted it to work so please let me know about that so I can fix it.
I have different questions about the mod.
Honestly, I don't blame you. I might not have explained everything too well, so if you have questions about something, let me know.
How to install the mod?

is this mod safe for the new patch?
Maple Bell
Not that I know of. But if you find any lmk :)
Krystall
hello is there a french translation for the mod ?
Tiffany Edmonds
I did go to the agency and paid, and when I found the internship menu, I only found the apply button. I'm going to download the update. Oh good, thanks. It could also be a sleep deprivation thing.
Maple Bell
You go through the phone menu in "Business" and find the Contact Internships Agency. Then you go to the agency, and pay your agency fee. Then in the computer menu, you will find the Internship tab. There you will submit your cv and motivation letter. But TLDR. You have to submit your cv before applying for an internship. Also not a dumb question at all!
Tiffany Edmonds
Possible dumb question: Does my sim apply first and then submit the cv?
Maple Bell
Hey I'm currently working on updating it thanks!
alexis perez
same :(

Patch update today and this no longer works :)
Nascent
I just saw your message and am downloading the update. I'll follow up if I have any other issues. Thanks.

Im getting a LE, I have removed the packs I dont have and it's still giving a LE.
Maple Bell
Hey! I updated the mod and uploaded a new file. If you haven't already, you should download it. If it is the new file you download what kind of LE are you getting? Thanks!
Nascent
Hi. I'm getting a LE as well. In addition my Sims can't seem to complete anything past he submit CV and Interest. I even tried to use the cheats and that still didn't fix it. I'm going to uninstall and retry, however if you have a solve I'd really appreciate it.

Better exception still caught it and said it's 100% now- There is bad tuning in this mod: \MODS-Maplebell Internships\Maplebell Internships\maplebell_Internships_Careers.package Delete it from your mods folder or see if the author has an updated version. If it is a multi-package mod make sure you update all of them. [BE Interceptor] BE intercepted this error from a separate mod log so that it can scan for the issue. (UnboundLocalError: local variable 'reward_text' referenced before assignment)
Maple Bell
Internships show up according to your traits and skills. You need certain traits/skills for internships to show. I am assuming the skills your sim has don't match with any internship jobs? Increase your programming skill for example, and you will get internships in that category.

what do you do when you do the internship application and when you go to pick an internship the list is empty?
Maple Bell
Hi, this error should no longer be happening. I have uploaded a new file! :)

Me too, getting the same Tunable Balloon error :( awwwie
KNOTZ Music
All of them lol
Maple Bell
Hi, I'm trying to figure out what the problem might be. Could you tell me which packs you have?
KNOTZ Music
Tuning error I'm getting: [cjiang] Error invoking TunableBalloonWrapper.factory (TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable)
Maple Bell
Hi, I'm so glad you're enjoying the mod 🥰! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm going to investigate this asap because I hate having LEs in my game and I wouldn't want my mod to cause it in other people's games. Thank you!!!
Alexandria Walker
Thank you so much for this mod! I love the detail and the realism. The Sim actually has to put in effort to obtain the internship...I love that it doesn't just happen instantly. I've been playing with it for a couple of days and although it doesn't appear to have any significant negative effects on the game, I've been getting LE's every time I load to play. According to BE it's coming specifically from the internships_careers package. I followed your directions and made sure not to install the packs I do not have. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention. Its not a big deal to me since it doesn't really appear to be effecting my game. I will continue to play with it but if you have a solution I'd greatly appreciate it! I hope you enjoyed your time away!
