With this mod you can work as Archaeologist/Palaeontologist, take assignments any time you want, go to Selvadorada any time you want and don't worry about days off limit (cause as a freelancer you simply don't have "days off" as such, you work - you earn, you don't work - you don't earn ;) )
*Some text from screenshots changed after I published the mod for the first time, hence the differences.
This mod turned out to be quite difficult to make, because of career gig system that I had to understand! Each time I thought I already got it, I was finding out other dependency and issues. But finally there it is. A mod that my mum asked me for few months back :) Was ready almost for Mothers Day (in Poland it was on 26th May). :)
There are 3 museums that you can choose as your employer:
- SimNation Museum of Natural History - for base game players mostly (doesn't require any expansion)
- Selvadoradian Museum of History and Culture - for those who have Jungle Adventure
- Treasures of Sulani Museum - for those who have Island Living (assigments include also the ones for base game).
This career works as other freelancer careers. For example there are 20 various assignments to choose from for Selvadoradian Museum - of course there is no guarantee which one will appear on your list on the given day - this is random.
With salaries for tasks with necessary trip to Selvadorada I tried to take into account the rent price and equipment, but the assigment might not be profitable in certain situations (e.g. when value of treasure is higher than salary from assignment) - but I hope it will be very rare case.
I tried to make gameplay for basegame players meaningful - so 20 new interactions were created to make it possible.

Conflict - ATTENTION
2 files were modified for this mod to work:
drama_scheduler.drama_enums (85CBDF0FEA68BBB9)
drama_scheduler.drama_scheduler (9F853D9F64B17368)
If any other mod modifies it - mods will conflict. In such case - inform me, so I could adjust my mod.
Also there is quite high chance that I will need to update this mod (those 2 files specifically) for each patch (this already happened for this patch, the update is very easy, but just for your attention that there is this risk).
For the mod to work you need also XML injector (the current version).

05/06/2024:
added compatibility with Adeepindigo Freelancer Chef mod (at first usage you will most probably get LE due to changes in the code that game will not recognize, also if any of the Sims had already the Archaeologist career, they might loose it, so re-enrollment for this career will be needed; apart from these 2 inconveniences you should have no other issues and no LE from that point)
