Cosmetology Career💭💇🏻‍♀️?

I've played the Sims for the majority of my life and there are a ton of things that I would love to see and think would be so cool for The Sims 4 in particular. One of those things being a cosmetology career. I went through cosmetology school while I was a junior and senior in high school and I loved it, I've been licensed for nearly 5 years now. I would love to kind of "re-live" that moment through my simself with this career path. (Below are some notes I wrote down earlier, feel free to leave suggestions as well🫶🏼)

Cosmetology career- Sims will be able to go through beauty school to earn their cosmetology license and choose to become a hairstylist, nail technician, esthetician, barber, etc

  • CAS items will include (black) scrubs, stylist apron/smock, new hairstyles(braids, locs, updos, curls, etc.-anything you would want done at a salon), new acrylic nail shapes/designs and colors, etc
  • Build/buy mode should feature everything needed to create the perfect dream salon -from the equipment to the elegant decor! Most items should be functional, with the exception of some "clutter" items. Functional items should include(but are not limited to): stylist chair/station, shampoo bowl/area, receptionist desk, hot tools(curlers, flat irons, blow dryer, etc) shears/clippers, you name it! You can choose to create a full service salon or a building with individual suites. Sims will have the opportunity to manage their own salon or be an employee(booth rental and commission based pay can be discussed)
  • Sims will apply to be students of cosmetology at their chosen institution* (there should be at least 2 different schools with 2 different instructors/classes per school: meaning your sim will be enrolled in either class A or class B). They will complete 1500 hours of training (not exactly sure how you would break this up in game with sims time and all) and register to take their final exams. *The beauty institutions must include a classroom for theory/book work and salon area for practical/hands-on work.   Once they have completed their hours and pass both written and practical portions of the board exam, they will receive their license via mail(larger one to display in their place of work and smaller one to keep in sim inventory) and choose their next step!  Sims can go on to be hairstylists, nail techs, lash techs, makeup artists, barbers, waxticians/estheticians, etc.
  • Sims will have the opportunity to participate in unique activities throughout their career: hair shows(can be a "class field trip"), skill enhancement classes( can be done in school or as a field trip) and continuing education (skill enhancement/refresher courses after graduating)   Sims may also have the opportunity to revisit the school they were taught at to give industry advice to future cosmetologists!
  • For the age range I was thinking between the Teen and Adult life stages( I'm not even sure you can do that but 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️) Teens can enroll while still in high school(dual enrollment) and young adults and adults can enroll in place of regular university 

 

This is all I've come up with for now. other ideas I've had were for a tattoo artist/piercer, but I haven't worked out any of those details yet lol. Hope yall enjoyed my little blurb, fingers crossed this may become a reality 🤞🏻 (and I know I'm not a famous simmer or anything but I'd love to have my hand in creating this lol)
