There seems to be a conflict when the sim has the "carefree" trait. The timer never appears/never 'goes to war.' Worked when cheating to remove the carefree trait.
Hello, first of all I want to thank you, I love this mod but I have a question for you, can it only be sent to sims who are in youth? Because I tried it with an adult and it didn't work for me, they just give me the money... What can you do there?
I've been trying to get this to work in my game for months now. I am downloading on a mac. When I download, I do not get a zip folder. I get a single download titled "[Kuttoe] EnlistWar.rar
Please help, as I really want this mod in my game.
rar files are similar to zip files in that they contain other files, but they are a slightly different format. They may not be able to be opened on a Mac without using another program. The Unarchiver, 7zip, or WinRAR are popular programs that will allow you to open a rar archive and extract the files.
Any chance you could add a version of this mod with a lower or variable death rates? Would it be possible to make the rabbithole several days instead of several hours? Is this integrated into the military career? Great mod!
I don't currently have any plans to make a variable death rate, as the intent of this mod is to align with the rules of the Decades Challenge, which uses a 50/50 chance. If there is a big call for changing the odds, it's something I could look into for the future.
The rabbit hole was originally supposed to be a full day, but I found during testing that leaving the lot for any reason would interrupt the interaction and the Sim would not get any sort of conclusion, they would simply appear back at home like nothing happened and you'd have to start the process over. It works more similarly to volunteering than it does like working a job, where the Sim stays in the rabbit hole no matter what. For that reason, I chose to make the interaction shorter to avoid this. It is possible to edit this yourself with S4S if you're comfortable editing the code; you would need to change the time_based conditions in the GoToWarInteraction tuning, and set the min and max time to whatever you like. This is something that came up with another user last week, so maybe it's another time I can try to make a customizable addon for.
hi, i adore this mod, it is amazing!! i just wanted to ask if you can either explain to me how can i prolong the rabbit hole time or if you can make one longer, like 20 sim days :) thanks a lot!

I'm afraid I can't see the picture you attached, so I'm not sure what you changed. The number in the fields I mentioned are measured in minutes, so if you want it to last a number of days, you have to multiply the number of days by 1440.
i don't know where it went wrong, but i did put the files in the mod folder... the mod option simply doesn't appear on my game :\ could it be because my game is in portuguese?
No, the language shouldn't be a problem, but it will appear in English if your language is not supported. Is your game version current? Are your other mods working?
I just had the same problem - downloaded it, could see the mod listed in the startup menu, but nothing showed up after navigating to "actions." I was on an off-the-grid lot; I switched to a regular lot (without closing the game or making any other changes) and the mod worked just fine there. Just something to check.
Not really. This is based on the rules of the Decades Challenge where a Sim is only ever intended to go to war once, but if you wanted to go through the process again you could probably use cheats to remove the Veteran trait.
Hello, and thank you! You can send me the string table or package on Discord or upload it to a file sharing service and send me the link here or on ModTheSims. I'll be sure to add your name to the credits.
Thank you for your help so far! I'm sorry to bother you, but it looks like some of the strings are missing from the French tables. Do you mind taking another look?
Bonjour, DSL j'avais des obligations familiales. J'ai regardé les 2 lignes STBL 07 et j'ai tout traduit, mais par mesure de sécurité, je les ai revus: [Kuttoe] EnlistInWar en français Lorraine3055 STBL.package https://simfileshare.net/download/1453764/
I think I understand the problem now, and it is my fault. A few of the later strings were not copied over from English into the other languages. Sorry about causing you trouble. The update I just uploaded now has consolidated all of the strings into a single table for each language and I made sure that every set was the same. Would you mind taking another look now?

Thanks for the report! I can see why that would be an issue. I will update soon.
This should now be fixed. Thanks again for the report!

Everything should work the same for young adults and adults. Are you using the newest version of the mod and the updated game?

I have downloaded the mod and put it on my folder but it is not appearing
What folder did you put it in? Have you unzipped it?

Glad you like it! Thanks!

Hi, i just translated to brazilian portuguese :)
Brazilian Portuguese translation
i forgot to say that i uploaded the string table :)
Thank you for the translation! I have added it to the mod now. :)

thanks for the help <3 is it right? how can i change it for days (if it is possible) ?

thanks!!!
i did exactly what the install instructions said and it's not working :(
Which part isn't working exactly? Did you unzip the files and put them both in your mods folder?
i don't know where it went wrong, but i did put the files in the mod folder... the mod option simply doesn't appear on my game :\ could it be because my game is in portuguese?
No, the language shouldn't be a problem, but it will appear in English if your language is not supported. Is your game version current? Are your other mods working?
my game is updated and i don't have any other mods... this is really odd

Hi, I translated into Russian https://simfileshare.net/folder/97909/
Thank you so much! I've added it to the mod. :)
Hello, I translated your mod into Polish http://www.mediafire.com/file/9fdnm0i4vlpg0js/%255BKuttoe%255D_EnlistInWar_%2528...
Thank you very much! I've added it to the mod now. :)
Is there any way that your sims can return to war?
Not really. This is based on the rules of the Decades Challenge where a Sim is only ever intended to go to war once, but if you wanted to go through the process again you could probably use cheats to remove the Veteran trait.
Any chance you'll add the 'Share war stories' chat option that's in Vanilla *if* you survive the war? Would add to the RP and realism haha.
Good idea!
Cheers! I translated this mod into Latin Spanish, it is only the string in Spanish, so you must download the complete mod to work.

Thank you for the translation, I've added it to the mod now.
This would be cool to pair with a Going Away party, a formal or informal way of sending Sims away to serve.
Hello to you, I just downloaded your mods and I just translated it into French. How can I send you my translation.
Hello, and thank you! You can send me the string table or package on Discord or upload it to a file sharing service and send me the link here or on ModTheSims. I'll be sure to add your name to the credits.
Bonjour à vous, je vous remercie d'avoir accepté ma traduction, voici le lien pour télécharger ma traduction et merci encore.

Hello to you, no problem I'll look at it Monday afternoon.

Bonjour, ne vous inquiétez pas, tout le monde a le droit de faire des erreurs et oui, je suis prêt à accepter un regard. Merci beaucoup.
