Re: Archaeology Career

@wasikm007 I do this using the Register with Ministry of Labour option in the career panel of the phone to make up for not having an actual career. My Sims then write books and authenticate artifacts as part of their job as well as the jungle trips and exploration. It's one of my favourite things to do in the game.

I do the same for Farmers, Ranchers, Nectar makers and retailers to give other examples. I love this option, partly because there aren't enough careers but also because I like that freedom of having my Sims work from home and setting their own tasks. It's also not affected by bugs like regular careers and career tasks can be.

    @simsplayer818 Thank you so very much for your great suggestions! While I still hold the hope of EA doing something to make this more "official" and perhaps adding more to skills and work from home options to make it even more interesting, I will try your ideas as that can be an excellent workaround for more business ventures. Thank you!

    @wasikm007 The coolest thing about it is that as I added more packs I could expand her career. So when I added Werewolves she moved from investigating the jungle to investigating Moonwood Mill too. She's also completed most collections. Her office is full of all the pack artifacts, Werewolf relics and books, etc. She's also been to Sixam and collected everything there, she's been to Batuu as well. So she's an expert on just about everything and her travels have taken her to all worlds and she's studied all the different lore. Her office is in the attic of her home, Yuma Heights.
    The funny thing is her friend travels with her and keeps dying in accidents but luckily she has the skills and knowledge to keep reviving her!

    @simsplayer818 That is a really great idea! I will give that a try as I have all of these packs too. The only one I don't have is the latest, Lovestruck. So I know I can really do some interesting things with these packs.

    LOL... hmm... you know... if there is a sim you don't like in the game... you could be sneaky and invite them on one of your sim's adventures. Would be so sad if they... mysteriously disappear this way. 👿 😃

    @wasikm007 I took some images of her home work space for you. She's got quite a collection in there lol. It's supposed to be a kid free zone but I see one of her 3 children has snuck up there and thrown paint splashes on the floor! That's one of the perils of being self employed working from home I guess 😂.

    I have the mail box set to receive artifacts for authentication but turn it off when she's working on something from a different world.

    @simsplayer818 Thank you for sharing. That is a very cool set up! LOL... how cool and realistic is that when a child comes into a room and redecorates. Love that!
