What if basegame careers were semi-active?

Maybe I'm one of a few weirdos who don't really find active careers to be fun for very long, if at all. I actually don't mind whatever they do to careers (active or semi-active or rabbit-hole), so long as they also allow an option to have them function pretty much the same as they do now, if that's what the player prefers for any given sim. I mostly only ever use careers as "background color" (as non-essential parts of sims' personal stories, that is). Only very rarely do the stories themselves focus (much) on the sim's chosen career, so I'd prefer that they not be inconvenient if I'm playing a sim whose career isn't as important in the bigger picture, so to speak. It would be cool if they had the option to be active or semi-active, though.

This is just one example for my preference (I have others along the same lines): One of my primary characters in one story is an astronaut (smuggler branch), but I'd definitely not want his version of the career to be active. I find that career to be interactive enough already (the space mission stuff, anyway), and I wouldn't want the day-to-day tedium of the job to interfere with his real story (and real career), which is about all his other criminal activities both among the stars and on the ground. And below the ground, sometimes... :hushed:
