Is there a mode where your character can be one of the various professions of people in the game (non-adventurous ones like farmer, gem cutter, animal dissector, etc. etc.)?
It may not be super excited but I'd like to know if it's possible (through a mod or otherwise).

There are plenty of mods that provide adventurer reactions to do a few civilian tasks, but they're a little different than the reactions fortress mode uses. Most workshops don't work either, it's also worth noting that an adventurer's profession title is based on their military skills. You could be a legendary leatherworker and still be called a recruit, with the corresponding graphic to match if your using a graphics pack.

I see, thanks for the answer.

Uhm, can you point me out to one such mod? I've looked in the "Community Mods and utilities list" and I couldn't find any. :/

I use a tweaked version of Adventurecraft

DF Wanderer is an alternative

And lastly there's Masterwork which is far less comprehensive for adventurer mode crafting but adds a ton of stuff, may or may not be to your tastes.

I'll look into them, many thanks.

If dfhack is not a problem there is also advfort

You can pull off being a hunter/boonecarver/wood craftsman. and sell them to people in cities for currency (sometimes ) and buy things to improve your house then build them. I did this when version 42 first came out by renting a tavern room for weeks and hoarding expensive golden furniture and such, I imagine its easier now with the whole "building" mechanic. Not that interesting for people into killing monsters though, feels more like the sims.

For the life of me I cannot find a single person to "sell" anything to. Most of my adventures in adventure mode consist of wandering aimlessly.

Interestingly enough, Rumrusher had once mentioned the one way to trigger a non-military profession change was to retire your character at a fortress of your own creation. What they change to is based on useful fortress skill set or lack thereof (peasant).

also the whole recruit title comes from how toady coded the world and how folks move around it.... as in they are all armies tied to companion or military groupings wandering around the map. you could just nickname in profession "farmer" to your character.

Then perhaps you should learn how to read the map, shift+q and look around  a bit.

One other thing to mention. So if/when you retire your character to your fort causing them to acquire a new profession, no adventure mode skill changes will result in profession name change. You'd have to repeat the fort mode process to have a profession change.

So if anyone is looking for a specific civilian profession they'd need to use the sort of mod Arthropleura mentioned, or they could add in their own reaction training that civ skill.
