What's your favourite active career?

I was torn between Firefighter and Self Employed. I went for self employed, more specifically, writing. Rachel Applebee owns a holo computer, so she doesn't have to write in her Loveheart Chateau study all the time. Plus, the world is your office!

@Steamvarius Thanks for voting :) that's very true about being able to work anywhere! I guess the open work hours are a plus, too!

I love Nectar Making and Alchemy. I find self employment much more fun as a career choice.

My sims are usually self-employed gardeners. Not because they need the money but because they are going to garden anyway since perfect quality produce and food are important to me. The only reason they register as self-employed is to stop the incessant rolling of wishes to get a job every time the paper is delivered.

Ghost Busting, for sure.

I absolutely adore paranormal investigation shows and podcasts, so I get to pretend the same nonsense is happening on my Sims game.

Thanks for voting @Pary and @Mikezumi :) good point, producing great-quality stuff for your own household is a nice bonus! Unless, of course, you’re a self-employed artist, so you end up having to sell just about every picture your Sim paints instead of being able to hang it up on the wall :cry:

Thanks for voting @FosoSam :) I really should try out the ghost hunter career when I get the chance, it looks like a lot of fun :>

It really is a favourite since I mostly make the sims I want to play myself for a longer time be self employed, mainly to have free time yet that little weekly stipend, and I would guess, the status in other sims' eyes from having and levelling up in a career. The things produced is kept if wanted. But I also had such fun playing the Architect (and Stylist); fixing the houses and sims to my liking, that I almost picked that one from memory. The last time I played it though I did not really take good care of the game which sort of coloured that experience, the game totally massacred as a result. I think I will try it again though.

My Sims are nearly all self-employed, because I like that they don´t have working hours, where they have to go to work.
For me it´s not important that they have regular income, after they maxxed out the writing/painting/sculptoring... skills they will earn more than enough for their living.
And without working hours they could do whatever they want every time!

Ghost Hunter is a very close 2nd.
It's hilarious to have a Werewolf in the firefighter career.
