World Adventures w/ career ideas

I would love to see a World Adventures style pack (after generations ofcourse ๐Ÿ˜‰). I have put considerable thought into this and I hope you will enjoy reading my ideas.

New Careers
Travel Blogger- this would run similar to the social media career in that you would need to develop a following. Sims can choose between working from home or traveling for work. When working from home they may be sent to specific lot types or festivals to post reviews. Sims can upload travel vlogs or blog about specific destinations traveled to in order to increase followers. Eventually sims choose between being a family travel blogger or an independent travel blogger which would affect content. Occassionally sims may be given sponsorships with create a sim style outfits. Kids and especially teens can react negatively to having to wear certain things.

Animal Conservationist- This would be an active travel required career. Similar to the doctor branch in order to move up on occasion you will have to travel to one of the three new destinations to do animal conservation work. Sims would travel to a special lot where they would interact with various animals as well as do environmental improvements. I think it would be interesting if this could play out like some sort of story mode as I know many people have expressed an interest in this style of gameplay.

Travel Planner- Again this job would require travel. A storyline style play could also be interesting here or some sort of predetermined vacation package that sims would do based on location choosen. Sims in this career branch would also work from home booking travel packages for people. They would get special abilities like being able to check weather at destinations and festival schedules via the computer

New family Gameplay elements
Ability for kids to homeschool or learn virtually.

Kids can meet other kids in destination worlds and ask them to be penpal and occassionally send each other letters and post cards. I also think it would be neat if down the line these same kids pop up at university if your sim kids go there.

Teens can have whirlwind travel romances with ability to sneak out and attend special social events if they get high enough friendship level with a local team. Sims can get a sad moodlet after travel from missing the person or the end of long distance relationship.

Kids and up can develop a well travelled trait allowing them to talk about travel, gain culture skills faster, a happy moodlet when traveling, and no homesickness.

Teens can develop an online platform and become travel influencers as well, increasing fame if get famous is installed.
