About this mod

Slightly cheaty career based on Portal 2's Aperture Science. This career has 20 levels that follow Aperture Science through the decades.

Changelogs
Career based on being a test subject of Portal's Aperture Science. Rise through the ranks from a lowly test subject to becoming the most powerful AI the world will ever know... GLaDOS. The pay is crazy, but first, you must survive the stress of being a test subject.

After some feedback, this mod has two versions; easy or hard. My players didn't like earning so much money without some conflict, so I added a Hard Mode career that will stress your Sim to the limit!

Choose one package to install.

Easy mode is good for a fun career that will leave your Sim filthy rich in an in-game week or three. Easy mode gives you plenty of opportunity early on to increase your performance because the hours are long in the lower levels of the career. Easy mode does not increase the requirement for promotion, it stays fixed at 100 for every level.

Hard mode is not kidding. It's much harder to be successful because you spend so little time at work, and every new level increases the promotion requirement! So you can expect to spend MUCH longer at every level trying to get enough performance for a raise. And since there are no vacation days at Aperture... don't say I didn't warn you. However, the resulting payout in Hard Mode will end up being much higher than Easy Mode because you'll spend so much more time working.

This career follows Aperture Science through the decades.

  • Praying Mantis Test Subject - 
    "Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the test starts."
    Easy Mode - (Starts at 8 am, 8 hours) - $50 an hour
    Hard Mode - (Starts at 8 am, 1 hour) - $50 an hour - 100 Performance Required for Promotion

  • Gaslighting the Test Subjects - 
    If you've cut yourself at all in the course of these tests, you might have noticed that your blood is pure gasoline. That's normal. We've been shooting you with an invisible laser that's supposed to turn blood into gasoline, so all that means is, it's working.
    Easy Mode - (Starts at 9 am, 7 hours) - $87 an hour
    Hard Mode - (Starts at 9 am, 1 hour) - $87 an hour - 125 Performance Required for Promotion

  • Superconductor Superpower Test Subject - 
    Just a heads up: We're gonna have a superconductor turned up full blast and pointed at you for the duration of this next test. I'll be honest, we're throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks. No idea what it'll do. Probably nothing. Best-case scenario, you might get some superpowers. Worst case, some tumors, which we'll cut out.
    Easy Mode - (Starts at 10 am, 7 hours) - $152 an hour
    Hard Mode - (Starts at 10 am, 1 hour) - $152 an hour - 156 Performance Required for Promotion

  • Repulsion Gel Test Subject - 
    This first test involves something the lab boys call 'repulsion gel.' You're not part of the control group, by the way. You get the gel. Last poor son of a gun got blue paint. Hahaha. All joking aside, that did happen - broke every bone in his legs. Tragic. But informative. Or so I'm told.
    Easy Mode - (Starts at 11 am, 6 hours) - $266 an hour
    Hard Mode - (Starts at 11 am, 2 hours) - $266 an hour - 195 Performance Required for Promotion

  • Tumors with Nanoparticles Test Subject - 
    For this next test, we put nanoparticles in the gel. In layman's terms, that's a billion little gizmos that are gonna travel into your bloodstream and pump experimental genes and RNA molecules and so forth into your tumors. Now, maybe you don't have any tumors. Well, don't worry. If you sat on a folding chair in the lobby and weren't wearing lead underpants, we took care of that too.
    Easy Mode - (Starts at 12 pm, 6 hours) - $465 an hour
    Hard Mode - (Starts at 12 pm, 2 hours) - $465 an hour - 243 Performance Required for Promotion

  • Fluorescent Calcium Test Subject - 
    Just a heads-up: That coffee we gave you earlier had fluorescent calcium in it so we can track the neuronal activity in your brain. There's a slight chance the calcium could harden and vitrify your frontal lobe. Anyway, don't stress yourself thinking about it. I'm serious. Visualizing the scenario while under stress actually triggers the reaction.

  • Kepler Seven Test Subject - 
    Now, if you're part of Control Group Kepler-Seven, we implanted a tiny microchip about the size of a postcard into your skull. Most likely you've forgotten it's even there, but if it starts vibrating and beeping during this next test, let us know, because that means it's about to hit five hundred degrees, so we're gonna need to go ahead and get that out of you pretty fast.

    Hard Mode - (Starts at 2 pm, 3 hours) - $1422 an hour - 378 Performance Required for Promotion
  • Time Travel Test Subject - 
    Alright, this next test may involve trace amounts of time travel. So, word of advice: If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye contact. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely. Forward and backward! So do both of yourselves a favor and just let that handsome devil go about his business.
    Easy Mode - (Starts at 3 pm, 5 hours) - $2488 an hour
    Hard Mode - (Starts at 3 pm, 3 hours) - $2488 an hour - 472 Performance Required for Promotion
  • Teleportation Test Subject - 
    All right. We're working on a little teleportation experiment. Now, this doesn't work with all skin types, so try to remember which skin is yours, and if it doesn't teleport along with you, we'll do what we can to sew you right back into it.

    Hard Mode - (Starts at 4 pm, 3 hours) - $4354 an hour - 590 Performance Required for Promotion
  • Brain Mapping Test Subject - 
    The point is: If we can store music on a compact disc, why can't we store a man's intelligence and personality on one? So I have the engineers figuring that out now. Brain Mapping. Artificial Intelligence. We should have been working on it thirty years ago. I will say this - and I'm gonna say it on tape so everybody hears it a hundred times a day: If I die before you people can pour me into a computer, I want Caroline to run this place.

  • Complete Reassembly with Science Stuff - 
    In case you're interested, there's still some positions available for that bonus opportunity I mentioned earlier. Again: all you gotta do is let us disassemble you. We're not banging rocks together here. We know how to put a man back together. So that's a complete reassembly. New vitals. Spit-shine on the old ones. Plus we're scooping out tumors. Frankly, you oughta be paying us.

  • Detention Center Test Subject - 
    Hello and, again, welcome to the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one. Your specimen has been processed and we are now ready to begin the test proper. Before we start, however, keep in mind that, although fun and learning are the primary goals of all enrichment center activities, serious injuries may occur. For your own safety, and the safety of others, please refrain from...

  • Portal Gun Test Subject - 
    Very good. You are now in possession of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. With it, you can create your own portals. These intra-dimensional gates have proven to be completely safe. The device, however, has not. Do not touch the operational end of The Device. Do not look directly at the operational end of The Device. Do not submerge The Device in liquid, even partially. Most importantly, under no circumstances, should you...

  • GLaDOS Test Subject - 
    Okay. Look. We both said a lot of things that you're going to regret. But I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster... I will say, though, that since you went to all the trouble of waking me up, you must really, really love to test.

  • Discouragement Redirection Cubes Test Subject - 
    This next test involves discouragement redirection cubes. I'd just finished building them before you had your, well, episode. So now we'll both get to see how they work.

  • Aerial Faith Plates Test Subject - 
    This next test involves the Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate. It was part of an initiative to investigate how well test subjects could solve problems when they were catapulted into space. Results were highly informative: They could not. Good luck!

  • Emancipation Grills Test Subject - 
    Please be advised that a noticeable taste of blood is not part of any test protocol but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill, which may, in semi-rare cases, emancipate dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth.... If you feel liquid running down your neck, relax, lie on your back, and apply immediate pressure to your temples. You are simply experiencing a rare reaction in which the Material Emancipation Grill may have emancipated the ear tubes inside your head.

  • Hard Light Bridge Test Subject - 
    These bridges are made from natural light that I pump in from the surface. If you rubbed your cheek on one, it would be like standing outside with the sun shining on your face. It would also set your hair on fire, so don't actually do it.
    Easy Mode - (Starts at 1 am, 2 hours) - $670157 an hour
    Hard Mode - (Starts at 1 am, 6 hours) - $670157 an hour - 4385 Performance Required for Promotion
  • Turrets Test Subject - 
    This next test involves turrets. You remember them, right? They're the pale spherical things that are full of bullets. Oh wait. That's you in five seconds. Good luck.

  • Tractor Beam Test Subject - 
    Yeah... Made this test myself. Out of some smaller tests. That I found. Lying around. Jammed 'em all together. Buttons. Got funnels. Bottomless pits are involved. It's got it all, it's absolute dynamite.

  • Caroline
    You know, being Caroline taught me a valuable lesson. I thought you were my greatest enemy. When all along you were my best friend. The surge of emotion that shot through me when I saved your life taught me an even more valuable lesson: where Caroline lives in my brain. Goodbye, Caroline. <Caroline Deleted>
