What if all NPC jobs were also playable?
With freelancing, and now the new "part time" gigs, it seems like this option is just more and more viable. Why should your sim's librarian fiance have to lose their job at the library as soon as you ...

I would like that if they were! At least some of them, if not all.
There could be some kind of "manage tool" (lack of a better word) for that, where you can choose sims for different jobs.
And in that there could be at least these things:
- It shows: All jobs that needs a worker, and you can choose a sim there to fill that job.
*Even better there would be all the jobs available, and would would be able to manage those.
- It shows: Skills/traits they need to have to be able do that job.
- An option: To choose your own created sims or to choose game to create NPC for that job that has those needed skills/traits.
- A notification: If that sim already has a job, then you can choose if you want them still to get that job (and lose that previous one) or choose another sim for that.
Also it would be good if they would not lose their jobs after moving in or when moved in somewhere even when not played (because that happens also in some jobs)! Some of those careers could be just a rabbit holes, if not playable. I would be fine with that.
I just don't like how things work at the moment, because those could be better. Especially now that it seems to gotten even worse, since now game is creating/hiring new NPCs for jobs all the time even if that job was already filled and that sim still exists. It wasn't like that before (at least most of those NPC careers), so this has been even more annoying that it was before.
I understand if some people wouldn't even care about this. But these things bothers me too, mostly because of my play style and my want to control some things in game. I just wish that there are some improvement made with this. :|
+ I like those different ideas mentioned by @FanPhoria and others above! :)
