My professions are glitched

[Runaticc]

So I leveled up my combat and mining to 5 and I got to choose a profession when I went to bed. I used alt+tab to lookup the best profession and when I got back into my game the options were gone and I only saw the nightly sales. I looked into my player tab and saw my other professions show (Farming, Foraging, Fishing) but not those 2. I figured it would let me choose a profession when I played another day and slept again, did not work. I then figured it would let me when I leveled up both skills, did not work. Is the game really forcing me to spend money on "changing" my profession in the sewers? I'm also bummed by the fact that since I don't have a profession in those skills that I earn less and miss out on some things till I get the sewer key. I looked this up and it seems a few other people had this issue as well and you could change your profession in the game files. Some people tried that and had a few weird ingame bugs with items that wouldn't show a name, and some people even had a bug that achievements don't work anymore (I;m hunting achievements atm so not really an option for me). I'm really desperate for help since I love this game and I just want to have my professions so I can play normal again.

Just something to keep in mind in the future: If you hadn't progressed another day since it initially happened, you could have just gone back a day to get the level-up prompt again.

I don't think there's much else you can do now but wait until you unlock the sewers or try the save editing method. I can't imagine how such a simple save edit could cause the issues you mentioned. I suspect the players did something wrong in those cases, or the issues were unrelated to the save edits.

If you want to give it a shot, this post from the dev explains how to do it: https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/save-file-editing-guide-for-solving-some-common-issues.110762/

This mod allows you to change professions at any time, but I'm not sure if it will work in this case due to how it works.

Thanks for reassuring me. I think I'm gonna go with the save file thing. Thank you so much:)
