This is a set of global mods that change a few things about jobs.
Some of this stuff may have been done before, like uni jobs in Inteen, as I've heard. But I love job related mods and couldn't help making them. Some of them still may be useful. Pick and choose. Separate packages should make it easier.

Choose part-time or full-time career type
Features & Versions (choose one):
- choose-career-type
- Adults, young adults and elders can choose between part-time and full-time jobs. A dialog pops up when your sim is about to use computer or paper to find a job.
- Teens are still limited to part-time jobs.
- Debug interaction on a newspaper provides choice as well (by Shift-click with cheats enabled). Young adults, adults and elders see both part-time and full-time menu options.
- choose-career-type+teens
- Sims, including teens, can choose between part-time and full-time jobs. A dialog pops up when your sim is about to use computer or paper to find a job.
- Debug interaction on a newspaper provides choice as well (Shift-click with cheats enabled). Teens, young adults, adults and elders see both part-time and full-time menu options.
- choose-career-type-CheatOnly
- Normal job-seeking interaction is not modded at all.
- Debug interaction on a newspaper (Shift-click with cheats enabled) provides both part-time and full-time options for teens, young adults, adults and elders.
- Tested on UC (AL/M&G game version).
- If your latest EP is Pets or later, it might work for you too (test in testing 'hood first just in case).
- CheatOnly version might work on even lower game versions, but I can't test and confirm.
- All versions should be compatible with Pescado's Harder jobs and Cyjon's Job Stopinator.
- All versions conflict with Pescado's no-age-discrimination. (Though, my mod seems to offer more options in this regard.)
- CheatOnly version shouldn't conflict with InTeen. Other versions probably do.
- Should be compatible with Midge's More Computer Options, if you make Midge's mod load after mine.
- This mod may conflict with mods that override the same resources:
CheatOnly version:- DEBUG - Get Any Job TEST | 0x42484156 0x7F08E23C 0x00001025
- Function - Get My Job Category | 0x42484156 0x7F441294 0x00002022
- DEBUG - Get Any Job TEST | 0x42484156 0x7F08E23C 0x00001025
- Dialog prim string set | 0x53545223 0x7F441294 0x0000012D
_
Ask before promoting
Features:
- Promotions are mostly offered instead of being pushed on sims and pets. A dialog pops up for player to accept or decline new position.
- Regular promotion offer for job performance:
- By default, the chance of getting it is 100%, provided sims qualify for the next level, but it can be altered with lower promotion chance mod.
- Promotions on special occasions:
- When a random boss's cousin promises promotion (networking bonus), after the next work day, sims are presented with an offer.
- When a colleague pulls some strings (good relationships or love?), sims get an offer.
- Better promotion deal:
- Sims have a 40% chance of getting second offer, after they decline the first one, provided they qualify and have good job performance.
- Better promotion deal takes sims to even higher position (skip level), but never to the top.
- Goes without offering:
- all kinds of penalties, demotions, firings;
- promotions caused by chance cards.
- This mod applies to full-time, part-time and pet career tracks.
- ask-before-promotion
- ask-before-promotion-NoDeal - this one doesn't have a better promotion deal, in case you don't want it.
- Requires Apartment Life or Mansions and Gardens
- Should be compatible with Pescado's Harder jobs and Cyjon's Job Stopinator.
- May conflict with Pescado's jobfixes. Looks like it's for OFB jobs. Haven't played them much, so don't know what is wrong with them and what jobfixes fix.
- This mod may conflict with mods that use the same resources:
Overriden:- Sub - Get Paid | 0x42484156 0x7F8F4EB6 0x00002004
- Sub - Secret Networking Promotion/Demotion | 0x42484156 0x7F8F4EB6 0x0000209F
- Sub - Ask before promoting | 0x42484156 0x7F8F4EB6 0x00002188
- Tuning - Promotion Deal | 0x42434F4E 0x7F8F4EB6 0x00002018

Jobs in University 'hood
Features:
- Sims and pets can work while being in university 'hood.
- Sims from teen to elder, including young adults, can find a job on computer and newspaper.
- Sims can find a job for their cats and dogs living with them on campus.
- The game processes jobs properly on University lots (for example, checks for being late) and shows you job-related notifications.
- Working sims and/or pets get carpool to work.
- 2021 update: sims may look for jobs on non-livable lots. Example: go to a community work center and use a computer to find a job you wouldn't find at home - the list of available jobs would be different.
- jobs-in-uni-for-all - for sims and pets
- jobs-in-uni-only-sims - for people only
- jobs-in-uni-only-pets - for animals only
- Requires Apartment Life or Mansions and Gardens
- Probably conflicts with InTeen.
- This mod may conflict with mods that use the same resources:
For all:- Functional - Main | 0x42484156 0x7F8F4EB6 0x00002001
- Interaction - Find A Job - TEST | 0x42484156 0x7F441294 0x0000200C

Young adults want and fear work
Features:
- Young adults can have wishes and fears about work: find a job, go to work, get a promotion, etc.
- YA-work-wants-fears
- Basic old version, I leave it here just in case.
- YA-work-wants-fears-Better
- Young adults may want to find a job only if their interest in work is higher then in school and entertainment, OR if they have less then §100 in funds. Thus, fewer students want to get a job, and it makes more sense now.
- Working sims may want to find another career, if their job performance is poor (not only young adults). Makes for a better story: sometimes people want to change careers, and that's fine.
- Requires any EP from Nightlife or higher (but I only tested on UC).
- Conflicts with a couple of parts of Pescado's wfsanity, which may be resolved by load order (post #83)
- This mod may conflict with mods that use the same resources:
- CT - Test - Work Fear | 0x42484156 0x7F739728 0x00001144
- CT - Test - Work Good | 0x42484156 0x7F739728 0x0000114C
- CT - Test - Get a Promotion | 0x42484156 0x7F739728 0x00001063
- CT - Test - Get a Job | 0x42484156 0x7F739728 0x0000105F
- CT - Test - Enter Career Track | 0x42484156 0x7F739728 0x00001061
- CT - Test - Enter Career Exclusive | 0x42484156 0x7F739728 0x0000111C
- Job - Can Have? | 0x42484156 0x7F739728 0x00001078

Part & full time careers mutually satisfy wants
Features & Versions:
- career-types-mutually-satisfy-wants
- Getting a part-time job satisfies a want to get a full-time job in a corresponding career and vice versa - getting a full-time job satisfies a want to get a part-time job in a corresponding career. Only works for maxis careers, because I had to go by individual IDs.
- To complement this feature, get choose-career-type from above so that everybody can choose between part-time and full-time jobs.
- Requires Apartment Life or Mansions & Gardens
- Doesn't conflict with Lazy Duchess' job reject anymore
- This mod may conflict with other mods that override the same resources:
- Wants Satisfy - Reach Career Level | 0x42484156 0x7F8F4EB6 0x0000204F
