**Please Add Self Employment to The Sims 4 **

This Unemployment don't cut it for my Sims. I would love to have my sims employment listed as Self Employed as was in Sims 3. I know there is no court house to register a Sims Self Employment but they can use the computer to register.

I'm not the kind of Simmer who play the available careers with all my sims and they are far from Unemployed when they are Painting into a million simolean income. Currently I'm playing a farming family who use the garden as their fortune with a custom built farm/home in play. I would like a Roadside Stand used for selling Art work or Food grown in the family gardens. I know you can build stores for that but that process is too long and takes away from the love of painting and gardening. A internet market for collectors or programmer skills.

I need to see self employment in TS4.

Self Employment Fields

Painter or Artist,
Farmer or Gardener,
Programmer, Author,
Collector
Store Owner,
Restaurant Owner

Are there other hobbies or skills that can be listed in the Self Employed category?
Am I the only one who plays this way?
  • This thread is from June and they STILL haven't patched this in. I was just making a sim the other day, who should have been ambitious, but I knew I wanted him to garden and own a store..... So I didn't even bother because I didn't want him to be tense all the time.
    It's sad really. Adding to the list of whats overlooked in this game.....
  • Yes'm please! I loved having self-employed sims in previous sims games!

    So true. This should have been an option by now. I take it for granted in the sims 3 because there are so many jobs to choose from along with professions. Hope it ends that way with Sims 4.
  • Thanks, EA for the self-employment, the Gardener career and working from home.
  • I know the gamer is in the technician career but I want to do the gamer Twitch style. Adding subs and donations to income as was a tournament wins.
