My Top 10 Career Wants. What are yours?
Top 10 Careers I’d love to see added to the Sims 4!
1) Dentist. This really is a no brainer at this point, especially after all of Get Together’s tooth references. I’d settle for a base game-style career, non-active and two branches with various career rewards.
2) Hairstylist/Barber: This would really need to be an active career – get a stylist chair and learn to cut and style hair with an all new skill tree. The higher your skill, the more new hair and beard/mustache styles you unlock for your Sims. Open your own salon, and a new venue type is the perfect place to meet up with the guys or girls to swap stories, gossip, and more. Cute interactions like your toddler’s first haircut, etc.
3) Acrobat/Circus performer: Learn to juggle, throw knives, ride a unicycle, navigate the giant hula hoop, walk on stilts, etc. Perform on the streets for tips or book gigs at a new show venue.
4) Magician: Port it over from Sims 3. Hone your abilities from card tricks to more advanced illusions as you rise through the ranks of the new skill tree. Perform at the new show venue.
5) Bands/Singer: See above, but with music and instruments! Pick a genre – rock, country, hip hop, pop, acoustic folk, etc.
6) Fashion Designer/Model – Another base game-style career, pick your branch and rise to the top of the fashion industry as either a top model or an award-winning designer of haute couture.
7) Slacker career – Not every Sim is made to rise to the top of their career, and this batch of random jobs proves it. Make just enough to get by in life, or become a professional celebrity hanger-on and mooch off the rich and famous!
8) Blue collar jobs: A new kind of job, maybe, like part time only full time and with wages designed to let you live comfortably but not make you a millionaire over night. Mechanic – fix and maintain cars. Construction worker/carpenter. Taxi Driver. Garbage collector – bring home “treasures” and treasures you find on the job – “I can’t believe they threw this away!” Librarian. Secretary/Administrative Assistant. Lumberjack. Plumber/Repairman. Door to door salesmen. Whatever!
9) Artisan: Turn your art into a trade! Pottery wheel, toy making, sculptor block, jewelry making, sewing machine – you craft it, then you sell it! More offerings for the Plopsy website, or open a retail space or bring your creations to the craft fair/flea market.
10) Dancer. I’m stretching here, but they had a Dance career in the Sims 2 so, yeah, sure, why not bring it back?
Bonus idea: Refresh the Archeology “career” and expand on it by offering different modes in different locales. Maybe you could find pirate artifacts in Brindleton Bay, and Oni masks and Japanese swords in Mt. Komorebi. Maybe there’s dinosaur bones in Oasis Springs (Yes, that’s paleontology, I know, but anyway … I want a dino skeleton!), and Native American pottery in Strangerville? Every world has a story, and help tell it through the archeology findings. Or, give us new worlds with new collectibles to discover – Africa – tribal masks, totems; the Far East – those gorgeous Chinese-inspired vases from Sims 3; Greece/Mediterranean – classic marble statues and busts; Norse – shields, weaponry, Viking helmets.
