Unhide Hidden Skills by Dandelion Sprout
"At the time I originally wrote this (6th of November 2023), I had as many as 7 mods and 1 mod update being WIP, so I decided to take care of the one that would be quickest to complete.
Have you ever wondered, "When is my Sim ever going to get a level-up notification?", "Does this activity even have a skill?", or "When on earth will I start getting DJ gigs, to the point I wonder if DJ gigs even exist"? In any of those cases, it's your lucky day.
The mod changes only one file, "Skills" in GameplayData.package. The only changes made in that file, are to remove the "(Hidden)True(/Hidden)" rows from the following sections:
• AirGuitar
• ArcadeMachine
• Ballet
• BallFighting (Water balloon, snowball, and dew fights)
• Bowling
• BroomRiding
• Bubbles (Presumably bubble bars)
• BugEating
• ChildAthletic
• ChildBassGuitar
• ChildDrums
• ChildGardening
• ChildGuitar
• ChildPiano
• ClubDancing
• Collecting
• Consignment (Reputation at consignment stores)
• Dancing
• Darts
• Diving (as in diving boards and dive wells)
• DJTurntable
• Entertainer
• Firewalking
• Foosball
• Gambling
• Gnubb
• Hacking (Computer Nerd / Investigator computer hacking)
• Homework
• Horseshoes (Horseshoes courts)
• Karaoke
• Lycanthropy
• Magic
• Mooch
• PerformanceArtist
• PingPong
• Pool (as in pool/billiards tables)
• Sandbox (Presumably sandpits, possibly sand terrain)
• Scouting
• Shuffleboard
• Skating (as in rollerskating and ice rink skating)
• SnakeCharming
• Snowboarding
• Spellcasting
• Styling
• Tattooing

Are feathered friends better than human coworkers? Why not try out an Ornithology career for your sims! Once more requested by @catrillion, we wanted to work on something that incorporated a specific form of laws protecting animals, and came up with this.
This job is available for YA - Elder, and you can join via the Arboretum. Please note you will need to either play this in Moonlight Falls or save the Arboretum lot and place it in another neighbourhood for this to show up in game!
You will need to level Fishing, Science, and the hidden skill WildlifeFriend. This latter one maxes out at level 6. You can change and track this using MasterController, and the metrics in the job panel will update as you progress it.
No opportunities, uniforms, or books, and the lower levels will not have a carpool so make sure to send your sims to work manually!
Please note if you want to use this, you must have Nraas Careers installed for it to show up!
There are three custom tones:
Read Journals (increase Science)
Socialise the Birds (WildlifeFriend)
Survey the Park (Fishing)
Meet/Hang With Coworker have also been changed to "Meet Birds," and "Chill With the Birds."
If anyone can translate for me, I'd be very grateful!
Level descriptions under the cut:
Enthusiast - 10 simoleans p/h, 10:00 - 16:00, M-F
Description: You’ve loved birds for as long as you can remember; the family budgie that sat on your finger, the class cockatoo that someone taught to swear. You spend most of your days working the checkout at EverFresh Supermarket staring out the window at the trees in the car park, where a flock of parakeets have their nest. Maybe it’s time to spread your wings and look for a more interesting job?
Amateur Ornithologist - 15 sp/h, 10:00 - 16:00, M-F
Description: You’ve bid farewell to the checkout and instead set up camp in the local park, photographing birds for your local twitcher group on Sims Social. The pay is chickenfeed (unless you photograph Mothman himself) but your online friends might know where you might find something that pays more of the bills…
Park Volunteer - 20 sp/h, 09:00 - 17:00, W,T,F,S,U
Description: Now this is certainly better than the supermarket! The pay is still terrible but you get to spend your time outdoors at your local wildlife park – and most importantly, with your avian associates. Clean out their pens, guide lost tourists, and do a coffee run or three; you might make enough friends to get a little higher on the perch.
Conservation Education Guide - 40 sp/h, 09:00 - 18:00, W,T,F,S,U
Description: Despite their awkward reputation, ornithologists are a chatty lot when it comes to their favourite subject. The general public don’t tend to know a lot about birds, muddling up their crows and their ravens, and think that leaving out generic birdseed is just as good as black sunflower seeds, raisins, and tasty mealworms. Give them a lecture to remember – oh, and try to shill the organic bird food in the gift shop.
Intern - 45 sp/h, 09:00 - 18:00, W,T,F,S,U
Description: An actual job title and pay that doesn’t leave you eating ramen all week! Granted, it’s a lot of book learning along with the hands-on experience, with long hours studying and memorising complicated Latin names, but keep at it. Onwards and upwards!
Park Ranger - 55 sp/h, 05:00 - 14:00, W,T,F,S,U
Description: You’ve finally got your hat but it looks like you’ll be wearing a lot of them; being a park ranger means dealing with the public too. As well as showcasing the beauty of the natural world, you’ll be delivering activities to guests and raising awareness of just how important it is to keep their natural habitats safe. Hope visitors like trail walks and nest building competitions!
Bird Keeper - 60 sp/h, 05:00 - 14:00, W,T,F,S,U
Description: Finally, a flock of your own! You’re in charge of the bird habitat at the park, taking part in the captive breeding program and making sure the conservation effort is going according to plan. You’ll be hands on developing research projects and coming up with new enrichment ideas for your charges – a pity the higher ups said no to a birdie disco ball in the main office.
Conservation Delivery Manager - 75 sp/h, 09:00 - 17:00, M-F
Description: Another flock, but this time the underlings are a team of people rather than baby birds. You’re responsible for a team of wardens across the local area, sending them nationwide to ensure they deliver conservation projects funded by City Hall. There’s a lot of business plans and project management, but someone needs to make sure resources are allocated properly (and birds can’t hold a pen).
Protected Sites Advisor - 90 sp/h, 09:00 - 17:00, M,T,F
Description: You’re deep in the science side of ornithology now; working with local farmers to make sure their food production methods are environmentally friendly, reducing the impact of climate change, and ensuring that important ecosystems thrive and flourish. You’ll also get the chance to pitch sites for new developments and green spaces – so if you want a Birdie Bistro & Bar serving Band Slams & Baked Angel Food Cake, now’s your chance!
Ecologist - 150 sp/h, 09:00 - 17:00, M,W F
Description: You’re out of the suburbs and into the woods – time to be a consultant! You’ll be travelling all over SimNation to various sites and places that have the potential to become the latest havens for your bird friends, writing up surveys and reports to convince the mayor of Barnacle Bay perhaps they can build their luxury flats somewhere else and not disturb the local condor population. Ecological assessment work might not sound the most interesting on paper, but it’s hugely important to make sure you’re protecting birds for generations to come – children and eggs alike.
With thanks: To MissyHissy's career building tutorial!
