ra's Professions

INFO: Now available for build 42!



This mod adds new professions and makes some changes to the vanilla ones. Each profession may come with special traits, skills, starting equipment, clothing and/or starting positions.

New professions:

1. Teacher
   
2. Botanist
   
3. Waste Collector
   
4. College Student
   
5. Delivery Driver
   
6. Librarian
   
7. Priest
   
8. Tailor (only in B41 since it is native in B42)
   
9. Computer Professional
   
10. Architect
    
11. Veterinarian
    
12. Office Worker
    
13. Artist (only in B42)
    
14. Homeless
    
15. Gang Member
    
16. Mail Carrier
    
17. Pharmacist
    
18. Retired

The spawn points work by chance: There is a chance that your characters spawn at a location related to their occupation. There is also a chance that they spawn at a more generic location like a residential house.

I've tried to keep the professions well-balanced: No one starts with a katana or an axe and I avoided overpowered stats.

As a basic principle for balancing, you can expect that choosing a profession will cost a bit less than manually creating the same build by choosing the respective traits for the Unemployed/Custom occupation.

Most of the new professions are not particularly powerful. Instead, the intention of the mod is to enhance realism and roleplaying. In this regard, I had the initial outbreak as starting date in mind (but it is possible to use it with any start date and any sandbox options).

- Works with single player in build 41 and build 42.

- Multiplayer (in B41): Use at your own risk when playing multiplayer. I did a few test runs as a host and everything seems to work fine but I am not an excessive multiplayer by myself, so I cannot say a lot about the topic.

- Compatibility with other mods: Should be quite compatible. In B41 there could be undesirable behavior if combined with mods changing vanilla professions (mods which only add new professions should be fine though). In B42: Playing with other mods changing vanilla professions should be safe after unchecking "Overhaul vanilla professions" in my mod's sandbox menu. Mods adding new professions should be fine.

- Languages: English, German

- Mod version: 1.4.3

There are a lot of other profession mods in the steam workshop, for example "Dub's Profession Mod" or "Bef's Professions and Traits". Have a look at them! Some of this mod's professions can also be found in other mods but they differ quite a lot in features like balancing, clothes, equipment etc.
