THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Does anyone know of a hack that will start off brand new CAS created sims with a set of random skills?

What about releasing them "into the wild" as townies and then moving them back into playable status? Would that work?

I want people to stop saying, "Son of a bitch". Instead we should say "Son of an ASS" because that is more accurate. Spread the word!

You can also download the insimentor, spawn skills adjuster and randomize your sim's skills. I do that when I create elder sims because it makes absolutley no sense to me that someone that "old" would have zero skills. Cheesy

You may be right, and I have the college adjuster, but I've yet to send anybody to college yet, so I haven't tested it out.

I actually did that just last night.  Whenever I make a new old person I chose a job for them, use christianlov's easy computer to hack them all the way to the top of a job (bonuses and all, so's they have cashola for retirement, and a fat pension).  Then I use the InSIMenator to give them the skills they would have needed to earn top level in that job for real, plus a level 5 cooking and level 3 everything else.  This is a lot of tediousness, and I'm looking for a less cheaty way of setting skills.  It seems more natural that a sim would move into the neighborhood with the skills they earned wherever they used to live (just like the fake memories they cart over).  Plus I know that whenever you activate a robot it starts out with some skills and talents in place.  And all townies (who i always wipe out at the start of a new neighborhood anyway) have some skills already.

I guess I never noticed that there was a "randomize skills" feature there.

The College Adjuster is available on regular Neighborhood lots also, although some of the options
wouldn't make sense to use there.  I've used it to add single skill points to Sims before so I don't
know why the Randomize features wouldn't work....but I bow to those more awesome than I, if
I'm wrong.

You have the option of randomising their skills or randomising their skills (with no more than 5 points per skill).  You can also randomise their personality as well.
