What's your favourite active career?

I chose self-employed because I actually like all them, but most careers get repetitive and too demanding after some time. I wish they had made something that I would choose whether I'm ready to do a quest, like a board or a specific action.

Ghost hunter. I've tried some of the others though, liked the Fortune Teller. I don't know there was a doctor career?

I've tried several varieties of self-employed and like all those I've tried.

In my early days playing I often had a gardener or a painter. When Pets came out I really enjoyed equestrian. Another that I often play is writer.

If there are more than one adult in a household I like all but one to have rabbit hole careers. That way I can manage the self employed sim without too much distraction from the other sims.

Because you get to inject a large quantity of suspicious liquid into non-questioning people at the graveyard :D

If you have Ambitions sometimes your doctor will get opportunities to go out into the community and diagnose and treat people.
Otherwise its a rabbit hole career at the hospital.

I picked Stylist because I love dressing up the sims in various outfits that are way better than the default they start in. And yes I'm still secure in my masculinity. :D :D :D

Alchemist!

One of my favorite things about TS2 was the Open For Business EP because all of my stay-at-home parents could open a business of their choice right at home. It was AWESOME. So the self-employment option for TS3 is very appealing. My founding Sim started a garden to feed the family and this has grown into a huge enclosed garden that the 5th generation will start caring for soon. Being able to register as a gardener helped the family a good deal when they needed the cash.

I have a rule that all of my Sims, if employed, must have different careers than any other Sim. I want to experience all that I can. So I will eventually get around to trying all that you have on this poll. I will say that it's very difficult to have more than one active career in a family of 8 so I have limited experience. I just finally had my fireman retire and I have to say he was fun to work with.

I chose self-employment because when I play ma household of 1 sim. My SS is a self-employed painter, so I get to chose when she paints and how often she during the day that she paints.

Ghost hunting is also one of my favorites as I have a couple of saves with one sim from them as a ghost hunter. I have a Scooby Doo save and I have Fred as the ghost hunter... :)

Oh, okay. One of my Sims has done that.

I am currently playing a save with my SS in the daycare career. Daycare is so far from fun that if I hadn't added a husband and adopted child for Mikezumi I would be smashing my face into the keyboard! I think the reason that Daycare, and a lot of the other non-rabbithole jobs don't fit me is because I prefer to let my sims do what they want and I can't do that while Mikezumi is taking care of the needs of demanding toddlers. I always pick LTWs that are skill based so that my sims will achieve them without any direction from me. I am not a hands-on player.
