What new careers do you want to see in the Sims 4?

- Stylist (Make-Up Artists, Hair Stylists, etc)
- Therapist / Counselor / Psychologist

I especially like those 2 ideas, but only if they were done in a certain way.

Stylist:
Your sim can open a shop, similar to a retail store and townies come in to get a make-over e.g. "I have a date tonight with a guy I really want to impress, I need a new gown and styling." And then you would make over their formal wear and this would actually be their new formal wear. Or they could also ask for a complete make-over or perhaps new athletic wear because they want they think the new trainer at the gym is cute. But you would actually change their outfits permanently.

Therapist:
Also an active career with an actual office to hold therapy sessions. Sims would come in because they want to change something about themselves, perhaps they are unflirty, kleptomaniacs or gloomy. When you accept a sim as a patient you would schedule several sessions in the calendar and depending on the outcome of the therapy regimen you would actually change one of their traits - for better or worse, depending on your qualification, the number of sessions you planned and how you conducted them. If unsuccessful the trait they wanted help with could change from unflirty to loner, from kleptomaniac to slob (because they are starting to hord) and from gloomy to mean or evil. If successful their traits could change form unflirty to outgoing, from kleptomaniac to good (because they like to donate to charity instead of taking things) and from gloomy to cheerful. These are just examples of course.

I guess what I am saying is I want careers that are active and actually have an impact on your sims' surroundings.

Love these ideas! I think the Stylist one sounds like a lot of fun! I would love to change the way the townies (NPCs) look. Sometimes their outfits are so cringy since they throw on whatever. I think there was a patch to fix it but I'm not sure. I used to see them walking around with bright colored glasses and the giant hats. I think it would be nice if they they could have their own salon with all the right equipment to wash hair, blow dry their hair, dye their hair, style their hair, paint nails (Hopefully it can allow us to have nail polish!). It will probably start the interaction and then take us to CAS but I would like to see their reaction when they see their new style. :)
& I agree. I want to see the impact of our sims actions/careers.
