...I do have one question, my sim is in the computer hacking job (I think) she's got promoted a few times, but now she just doesn't get a promotion. I've met all the requirements, skills and got the right amount of friends she needs. Any clues on whats going on?
Hi Racherz! You also need to make sure that the combination of mood meter and needs bars are filled and are in the green, right as the Sim leaves for work. The mood is very important for promotions---any small out-of-place thing can lower the mood, especially as the Sim is approaching the carpool vehicle, such as old newspapers on the sidewalk, dead or wilting flower beds, cockroaches swarming around the lot, etc. Sims usually won't get a promotion if their mood has dropped by seeing these annoyances when they are leaving for work. ;) (I originally learned this tip from the Sims 1 Prima Guide.)
Another thing I have found helpful to trigger that promotion: For example, if the friend requirement is two friends, then get three. If the skill requirement is three points, get four. Try to go above and beyond what is required, but never to the detriment of your Sim's mood or needs. Tricky to balance everything, I know, but it has worked for me. :)
