Question about Get to Work Career with Career Hopper Perk

Hi @aodoherty

as you're unsure how it's supposed to work, I'm moving this to game info for now. Maybe someone else can describe their experience to see if they also get promoted every day. I haven't tried this perk myself so I don't know.

Trying to get some info as well.

The science career is my favorite! Well I sure am enjoying acting but science is so much fun. I have 4 scientist households  Each if them specializes in a field, astroscience, botany, geo science, marine biology. Promotions lean heavily on work performance and completing tasks as wells as skill levels. With that being said your lab experience leans heavily on what you choose to do. My astro physist choose to do all of the alien type tasks: zapping people, meeting aliens etc. my earthbound scientists kept following the single available tasks which were not alien related and eventually the other worldly ones quit showing up. Consequently they lead very normal lives at home and work. 

You don’t have to be proficient in say making potions and/or any specific task to be promoted. You will have to do a little of each to complete daily requirements. But my sims tend to focus on what I want them to do. After reaching the top of the field I don’t pay attention to the tasks at all. 

I don’t know about the career hopper trait but thought you might enjoy some insight into the daily task requirements as they do play into job performance as well as promotions. 

Yes as far as I remember, R sim got promoted everyday at the entertainer career. Now he got back to acting career and he is rehired from Silver screen icon which he used to be as an actor before. Thanks. I just needed the exact information about the career hopper perk. :D I'm still satisfied it takes a couple of days to get promoted. I just wanted to know it supports the get to work career or not. My J sim has been very old since he was born in cas in 2016, so he might be a bit bugged. Thanks. 😉

Recently, I found it takes 2-3 days my J sim get promoted in science career. Its' the same to join and activate the science lab, or just send him alone as I had to look after the alien toddler at home lot. But if he doesn't do the breakthrough things, his daily tasks, then he doesn't get promoted in 3 days, it can take 4 to 5 days until he has done it. He doesn't learn any serum things since I sent him alone for a whole week, but it's the same. Yes he also become focused all the time while working in science lab. I always carry the cereberries which is focusing berries, and he eats and become focused whenever he needs but it didn't let him get promoted until he completes his daily tasks.
