Hey y'all !!! I've been having so many ideas lately about careers that aren't in The Sims 4. I had tweeted one of those ideas recently and someone at EA help reached out and said I should post it here. Like, why didn't I think of that. Anyway, I wanted to create a place where we can all come up with more in-depth ideas in the hope that EA will see and implement them into the game. Here is the link to the Tweet: https://twitter.com/SimsAqua/status/1400538734479745024?s=20 List of Active careers Repairman - Take a gig from an order list of sims needing a repairman.

One idea for the animal hangout would be to build a lot looking proper for the idea, give it lot assignment café and the lot traits to draw households with pets; and then look at the mayhem!

@stephfourie , @babuchas01 , @Aquasims1415 , @DonroaAkashu I do wish that we could have hotels, resorts, or Bed & Breakfasts in the game! The little cottages that we will be able to have in the new upcoming Cottage Living Pack would make perfect B&B's!!!! 😃 (The pack does come with an English Pub, but I'm guessing those won't include a career choice for out Sims. ) As for singers, I would love for a Band Pack (either a Game Pack or Stuff Pack most likely) that allows our Sims to preform together with different instruments and a singer but with the addition of drums! 🎼🎵🎸🎻🎹🎤🥁🎶 This is similar to what was in The Sims 2 and the Sims 3. They could either busk for tips together or go on gigs!

I'd definitely love to play as a nanny or maid

@DonroaAkashu Your Maid idea sound great. I totally will have to try that and thank you. I wish we had a better retail system to. Being able to physically go to a retail lot would be awesome. I don't understand why it isn't in the game. That and being able to choose anyone as your employee. It would have been cool if they had this in the game and the sims you choose as an employee actually being able to keep that job outside your household.

@Aquasims1415 , the problem is that adding new animals to the game won't solve the problem of the Pet Groomers.... nobody gets their cow groomed (They might wash and brush a cow for a show, but you can't really style the hair as it is way too short! 😉 ). The only pets that I know that get groomed are really dogs. There might be a few offbeat examples for some other pets that most don't know about , but they aren't going to make a pack about such a small, niche segment of pet owners who own an uncommon pet. Horses sometimes get their manes and tails styled, but that really wouldn't be a pet grooming pack without dog grooming at least! 🐶Theoretically they could add to Cats & Dogs EP but they have never done that before. That would also be a lot of work to make a new career, animations, and potentially hairstyles/accessories, etc. and if something that requires that amount of work it would take a long time to implement it, which since this would be a pack update, that would mean people would have to basically work for free, which for the amount of time it would probably take to do this would not be fair to the developers. 😓The only way to get around this would be to release it as an actual pack, but having a pack require another pack to use all its features didn't go over to well with people with the My First Pet Stuff Pack. I love the idea of a Pet Groomer, but I don't think they will be able to do it without running into a lot of problems. 😔@wittlebamb91 , I would also love a pet bakery! Same problems would exists as the ones above, but I still would love that! 💗

I like your list of jobs, I think it would be fun to play sims in those. I find the way the careers are made a little on the less interesting side though, and more appreciate when there are features added that makes it possible to create a player driven scenario. As an example, with the dust system I made a sim, registered them with the Ministry of Labour as a Maid, gave them the unlocked maid-outfit, and then went around to a select few of my other sim's houses and cleaned their home. Very fun!

From your list I would like to play a model, and already have plans of making Gia, all tragic and conflicted; and would wish that this could be done without hassle.

One job I would very much appreciate if added, would be retail personnel in my own sim's retails, that is, I want the pool of what sims can be hired to include more sims than it is now, and for the feature to be better managed by the player, switching, reset the pool, exclude certain sims from it etc, so that it would be easier to choose whatever sim the player made as the retail personnel. This goes for restaurant personnel as well. I don't necessarily want to play the career, just to be able to choose which sim is in it.

@Aquasims1415 , I like your Maids, Models, and Pet Groomers ideas the best! 😎 I would love to play as a pet groomer! 🐶🐱🥰 (The only problem is they would have to make it so you wouldn't have to own Cats & Dogs just to have that career! )

@DonroaAkashu , I might have to try your Maid idea! 💡😄

@bae281995 , I would love to play as a Nanny! 🥰

@bae281995 Yes!!!! I would love a nanny or babysitter job. Maybe something close to what we had in The Sims 3

@PugLove888 Yeah, I was thinking about how they could implement that into the game without needing Cats & Dogs. The only thing that came to mind was a gamepack that added more animals. Not sure how well that will go over though in the Simming community.

Total agree that these jobs would make the game more amazing i think being able to own a pet kennel would be an amazing job or dog walker. Also think it would be awesome to be able to own a dog and car treat bakery like there is in sims 2.

@wittlebamb91 Great idea! I wonder if they would update Cats & Dogs.
