Hello everyone,

I am trying to update the arien li adult skill for children mod by adding the new singing skill for children. If you don't know, the mod allows children to learn adult skills without the need to maximize the associated child skill first.
I would like to have it so children can learn the singing skill without needing to first maximize the child creativity skill.

I was able to extract the adult_major_singing_skill from the fullcielnt0 package from city living, however the package was labeled as sim data instead of statistic tuning and looks completely different from the other skills that arien li has updated.

I don't have much modding experience, and am not sure how hard this is too do, but it seemed not that difficult.

Any help would be appreciated,

Peter

I don't know if you found it in the wrong place but...I can find the statistic tuning file using S4S...

Oh, what package is it in, and what is the name called. The adult major_singing skill I found looks different.

For example the statistic tuning file that I found in the clientfullbuild0 package for singing looks like this.

No...That was data file that is linked to the skill XML file...You need a statistic file, not a data file

You could try downloading S4S/Sims 4 Studio. It makes everything easier, just click Tools --> Extract Tuning, look for the major_singing skill and it will create a new package with both the SIMDATA file and the XML Tuning file. You can then edit those files inside Sims 4 Studio.

Thanks everyone for your help. I should now be able to release a new mod with the info you provided soon.
