What if basegame careers were semi-active?
I know all of us want more active careers, but let's face it, the likelihood of EA adding active careers to basegame is slim at best, but making a career semi-active has got to be less work. Several o...

The aspiration for criminal is sort of like this already. The secret Agent, though, needs some real action, not social interactions. I mean, these are the ones that are replacing international super spy from Sims 3. They would have to stay fit and stay alert.

Onto the only real one that got my attention.
IMO, Tech Guru... I don't think a lot of these are necessary. Gurus end up in Esports or they become entrepreneurs, so they would mainly program and play/build games. My suggestion is, instead, have them build games for the company, and have them "deliver" the game to their work for extra payments, have someone send them notices on bugs or errors to fix, or have them play a game while they are being recorded. Another thing which will seem totally out there at first is painting. Weird, yes, but... who makes the assets/artwork for the game? I am using rather techie words here, but assets would be like 3D models, or 3D characters, 2D art- or sprites- someone will have to work in music to do the audio for the game(s), there's even some handiness involved as well to ensure the computer for this is up to date. Testing the game/new application/software is also something that needs done. Handiness is crucial in Esports to ensure your computer will reign supreme. They may have to check and upgrade their computers as often as possible.
This is just some of the things that gurus can really focus on. There's a heck of a lot more in that world than just programming. A LOT more. :#
