Ideas For Careers And How They Would Work

Can we ask for this when the feedback forums open? I think the more of us ask the better our chances!

Game dev. With option to hire artists and other programmers to speed things up. Become an entrepreneur and name your business. There's a mod for it as a career but it doesn't seem to work, or maybe I simply don't know how to use it yet.

I think we should have a career for hairdressers and stylist….

Honestly I would have liked to become an entrepreneur like that girl in eco lifestyle. Why put money into her business if you want to invest in your own?

I would love a manager, dancer, and a professional singer career.

Professional Singer:
We have the entertainer career but that's more about like fancy private events and stuff, I'm talking like a pop icon or rockstar career.
This would either make you boost charisma plus a music skill, or it would make the singing skill base game.
It could work kind of like the acting career, you could choose to record and album and go to a rabbit hole with occasional popups about what kind of music you want to make. (similar to the auditions, but just adding popups) You could meet a manager and maybe even some backup dancers for a music video.
If you did well on the album you could perform at a concert, you could choose to actually go there and perform the actions at the concert or just send your sim through a rabbit hole.
If you have Get Famous you would gain fame for every album release and a bunch of fame for every concert, and the more fame you have the better your albums do. If you have Eco Lifestyle you could get texts from people like Knox Greenburg about supporting the environment and doing a song about the trees, and if you put a certain word about trees or the environment in the title then the environment quality can go to green, if you don't it just stays at neutral. There are other cross pack compatibility things that could happen but those are the two that I thought of.

Dancer:
This would make the dancing skill base game if the career wasn't added as a pack refresh to Get Together.
At the beginning of the career you could pick what kind of dancing you could do (ballet, hip-hop, all of the above, etc.) and could switch at any point, and you could interact with a manager and the singer or entertainer the performed the music you're dancing to.
It would be a rabbit hole career with the option of working at home, but there would be one day once a week where you had to come into work instead of working at home.
Later on in the career you would get the option of being a choreographer or of becoming a professional dancer.
If you have Get Famous you would gain fame. If you have Spa Day your boss could recommend a day at the Spa if you're getting a bit rusty. If you have a pack that includes festivals you could be asked to dance at the festival.

Manager:
You would have to work on the logic and charisma skills for the career.
This would be an agent style career, you could call it agent or manager that's flexible. You would manage the careers of the dancers, singers, and entertainers. (and actors if you have Get Famous) Occasionally you could get a call from your client saying something about their latest project that they want their manager to remember. You would automatically gain relationship with your clients without having to do the socialize with co-workers interaction. Sometimes on weekends you would have to go to a rabbit hole for 2 or 3 hours to manage a concert or dance video.
If you have Get Famous you would be asked to go to a client's acting gig and if you got to level 9 of the career you would become a notable newcomer. If you have Eco Lifestyle or City Living you could be asked to ask your client to promote a charity in some of their work.

An active career for a boxer or MMA fighter, centered around Fitness and Charisma for the skills and with daily tasks like maintaining a social media presence—and, of course, winning fights against NPC sims at the actual job site.

As so many have already mentioned the first stage should be careers for every kind of job there is in town that are now done by townies - maid, repair man, librarian, DJ, social worker... (to name a few). Other careers I'd want to see:

* Tourism/hotel (to go with a new type of venue, hotel. You'd start as cleaner and work your way via the front desk to manager to hotel tycoon).
* Architect
* Manual labourer for adults as full time
* Nurse
* Police
* Fireman
* Ice skater (if you have seasons)
* Military

And I loved the idea someone mentioned above about letting us create our own rabbit hole careers in game via ministry of labour.

Sims registered with the Ministry of Labor should be able to choose their salary, workday (to the rabbit hole), or work from home. Nifty Knitting has Plopsy & Eco Lifestyle has Simply Crafted, but we should also be able to launch web retail shops in the Freelance career with Buy items that don't necessarily need crafting. Being able to own or manage Community Lots like Bars, Cafes, Gyms would definitely add some depth. Or at least have that option when creating a Generic Lot. It's been 7 years. We seasoned Simmers have to mod & cheat our way to happiness.

Sims 3 allowed us to buy out places. I'm surprised Sims 4 does not.

Bouncer: You'd have to keep sims in check, kick out sims, protect celebrities from paparazzi, check id's and kick out teens. Could get tickets from celebrities for shows/concerts, bribes from teens, get into fights. Could be hired by other NPC sims to bounce for birthdays, weddings, parties.

Day Care Owner/Operator: You'd take care of toddlers, teach shapes, teach to talk, give nap time, feed, play games, have puppet shows, call parents to pick up sick toddlers, stop them from biting. Could help toddler realize their artistic or genius potential, have nightmares about the evil toddler, work late due to parents not showing up.

Town/City Worker:
- Public Worker: Look after parks and public areas, clean garbage, kick out woohooers from bushes or public bathrooms, witness crimes, find lost pets. Host events such as concerts, farmers markets, flea markets, protests.
- Gravekeeper: Work at cemeteries, keep out teens, keep ghosts where they should be, dig graves, keep clean, place flowers, have funerals/memorials, have weddings for vampires/witches etc.

Museum Curator: Give tours, discover secret tunnels and collectables, keep statues asleep at night, keep clean, keep out robbers, detect counterfeit art, study history and correct documents, buy art, create art, travel to collect art. Host galas, celebrity birthdays/weddings, workshops.
