In regard to careers and body types of sims
I don't particularly enjoy having to do "homework" to help my sim advance in his or her career. Or having to make my sims hit the gym or eat a certain way to get the target body type I'm going for to...

@iamsuebert, the problem is is that while many people like yourself want the Sims to be a bit of a vacation from reality, many other Sims want the game to reflect reality. 🤭 EA/Maxis tries to find the balance between both. 😎 Fantasy players like to play with Aliens, Vampires, Mad Scientists, Fairies, etc. (I wish we had fairies in TS4!!!) , while realistic players like to play with laundry. 😃
Also, @SheriGR gave you some great tips on easing the repetitive burden in the game. 🙂 I will add 2 shortcuts to weight loss (which you may or may not know about already)...
1) if your Sims have enough Reward Points from fulfilling whims or from their Aspiration, then there is an Insta-Lean potion you can buy in the Rewards Store for 750 reward points.
2) if you have the Cool Kitchen Stuff SP then you can make the Taste of Diet ice cream with the ice cream machine that comes with that SP. Eat that flavor of ice cream once or twice and your Sim should loose weight ! :eahigh_file: I'm not sure at what cooking level this flavor unlocks at, but it isn't too high, if I remember correctly. 😉
Likewise the Entrepreneurial , Connections, and Professional Slacker reward traits will help with a Sim's career in some way or another. You can buy these in the Rewards Store the same way you can buy the Insta-Lean potion I mentioned. 😉
(One of my favorite things about The Sims 4 is the ability to multi-task. I often have my Sims eat in front of the TV while watching the Cooking Channel while talking to other Sims. This fills their hunger bar, social bar, fun bar, while they learn the skill of cooking all at the same time! :eahigh_file: Who needs dinning room tables ?!?!? 😃 )
