-The first line means this is the first metric, meaning it would appear at the top.  The second line is means that these mappings relate to metric 1 (first line). The numbers (-500, 0, 50) mean that a mood rating of -500 (Which is impossible) would be “awful”, a mood rating of 0 would be “normal”, and a mood rating of 50 would be “outstanding”. I believe that 100 is a full mood bar, and 0 is a completely empty mood bar.

 The string files tell the game what text to show in game, such as career titles and descriptions.  We need to start by making an “UnhashedKey” file. Start by opening up a new notepad file. You now need to copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) the code below into the notepad file. Now go down the code and replace once again all the “BLANK”s with your information.
 For the time being ignore any <KEY>BLANK</KEY> as I will explain these later, for now just fill in the <STR> code.

 Once you have finished editing all the code, save the notepad file but save it as: “Strings [YourCareerTile] UnhashedKeys”.  For example this is my file for my Tennis career: “Strings Tennis UnhashedKeys”
 Once you have sorted the first strings file, there is also a second strings file which must be edited and is easier to edit than the last, so you can breathe a bit easier. This second string file is what determines what descriptions are shown in game.

 Go back to S3PE and “Right click” on your UnhashedKeys string file, then go to “Edit STBL” this brings up the “STBL Resource Editor” window. Click on the second file in the left list, this should show: Gameplay/Careers/GetJobInRabbitHole:JoinCareerNoCareer in the right window and the value in the bottom box. You now need to replace the “NoCareer” part with your JoinCareer number that you wrote down from in game, and replace the value in the bottom to your FNV64 value that you wrote down too.
 Then click “Save”, and “File” -> “Save” in S3PE to save the overall changes again to the package.
