you know what? fair enough, have a good day.

if i can't be slightly rude to complete strangers over the internet, then who could I possibly ever be rude to? On another note if anyone comes here disappointed that mod doesn't work, making it was a very intuitive process so it shouldn't be that hard to modify or fix for personal use. I might fix it myself later if a roleplay server I like ever goes up again.

Hey man, I get it’s annoying when something is obvious and someone points it out, but no need to be rude to others.

THIS MOD CRASHES MY GAME AS OF TODAY

This was a mod for a roleplaying server, where there is no time to grind skills. But if you also want to play without grinding while still maintaining immersion in singleplayer, then this mod would have been for you, when i bother to fix it. (probably when mp update comes out so i have an actual use for it).

Don't worry, the professions were all super OP.

I want to give a huge Thank You to all those who have commented, as it appears this mod is completely borked...you've saved me from downloading this mod, and it's obvious it is a broken and completely abandoned mod

For me, all the added professions are broken. Most just have like 2 skills and no traits, and a bunch of points to spend. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

It gives me the following error when I try to play with this mod (I've tried to turn off all of my other mods):

zombie.Gamewindow run
GRAVE: null
java.lang.NullPointerException error


Can u check this?

Can you remove the free outdoorsman trait? It is annoying having to reenter the character traits every time. Enjoying the mod otherwise.

Anyone else having to need car keys to remove windows since this mod updated?
I can't steal all the cars anymore :(

For some reason, when this mod is enabled the game will lock up and must be restarted if you try to select a saved preset such as "No skills". I'm guessing it's because it's trying to remove the free outdoorsman.

Looked over all the professions, far as I can tell they look very well balanced for gameplay. My only suggestion regarding skills, is to lower the max skills from 7 down to 4 or 5.

Adjusting the available points may need to be required as several professions are locked with negative skill points. As can be seen here: https://i.imgur.com/fWVQCfU.png I have 100 skill points open in my custom world settings so no issue. But the default world settings will not have enough skill points.

Adding the mod name in the description will be another useful adjustment.

Other than that, this mod works well, and does not appear to cause conflicts with other profession mods. (or not issue with the few I have)

Hi, I love the traits added by this mod but I feel like a lot of the professions are super under cost.
For instance,

If you get these traits:
-Vary Under Weight -10 (Can counter this with "Excellent shape" for a free 2 strength and 0 cost)
-Thin skinned -8 (Super easy to counter this trait by just playing slow and with spears)
-High thirst -6 (It is easy to get clean water)
-Slow Healer -6 (Scratches don't take that much longer to heal and if you get bit most likely your all ready dead)
-Hearty Appetite -4 (If you plan from day one you can counter this easy late game and it helps counter Vary under Weight)
-Prone to Illness -4 ( Can counter this with outdoorsmen for free 2 points)
-Smoker -4 ( You can live on one cig a day)
-Weak Stomach -3 (Don't rotten food and it does not affect you)
-Slow reader -2 ( has almost no effect on magazines, and for skill books you can just turn up the speed)

This gives me 47 points,
31 if i take Hobbyist.

If i spend 6 points on fast learner i now get a 100% XP boost in all stats. And i still have 25 points to spend and even if you get rid of vary underweight and thin skinned I still have another 7 points to spend even after fast learner.

Most of the professions have this problem.

But I love the traits, I feel like they do fill some gaps in the game but professions just need to cost more in my opinion.

Let me know if anything feels unbalanced!
Harperers  [author] 29 Mar, 2020 @ 7:59pm 
In the mod menu it is called "gateway's profession mod [build 41]"
VelxraTV 29 Mar, 2020 @ 3:04pm 
Hmm not seeing it in the mod listing. Is it named "Evolved Professions & Traits" in the mod menu?
VelxraTV 29 Mar, 2020 @ 2:21pm 
Nice, it never made sense how "professionals" in a category start off with no skill.
