Help with sims degree and job

I completed the communications degree with my sim. I started a job in public relations under the social media career option. I decided I wanted to change and do the other branch under social media the Internet personality career. But because I have this degree in communications it will not allow me to go back father than the public relations branch. Any way I can get back to the choice of branch? Without mods. Thanks!

  • @KayleeAmberRose You can't go back to choose the other branch with that sim. It is not possible for the same sim to complete both branches of a career.
  • @KayleeAmberRose  Go back to university and get a Drama degree. The Drama degree will let you join the Internet Personality branch directly. You might need to quit the job in Public Relations first, but you'll probably do that anyway, since the job hours will overlap your class schedule.

    I'm assuming you entered the public relations branch at level 7 or 8 using your degree.  You should be able to choose the original career in the Career panel so you can do the other branch of a career without going back to university.  You will start the career at level 1 (or 3 or 4 depending on if you bought the reward trait) just like you would if you hadn't gone to university, but you can play the career up to the career branch choose point and choose to play the other branch.  Earning a degree in university just adds the higher-level career options to the career panel.  The original careers are still there.  And some of the careers can also be entered via the pop-up phone call job offers at level 4 or 5.  I'm not sure if Social Media is one of the careers that have the calls though. 

    Hope this helps.  

  • As a fellow Simmer, I understand the frustration! It's hard to feel stuck on a career path, especially when you have a specific vision for your Sim. Unfortunately, without mods, the game doesn't offer a way to switch branches after a selection. Feeling this responsibility can also often make me feel lost and then completing tasks becomes a real challenge. However, such a resource as https://edubirdie.com/pay-for-research-papers can be useful for organizing your thoughts and professionals will help you write about anything. For future saves, consider backing up your files before making any major decisions to explore all avenues without permanent consequences. Good luck in your quest for an online personality!
