Can we please get some new careers?

I go through the current list with new Sims and feel underwhelmed and bored at this point with the careers we have. CC careers just feel incomplete with the lack of reward objects and chance cards so it's up to the devs to release new ones. ):

Lets get back old careers like military and education. Introduce some new ones! CC creators have made dancing, film, counseling and dentistry, just to name a few, into plain old rabbit hole careers.

I don't know, and frankly I don't even care, how they would fit into a stuff pack theme but a rabbit hole career can't be too much for a stuff pack either!

Just...ghjeiqbpuyhovtpw, more careers please!!!!!!!
  • More careers would be nice. Not the "open" careers, though. Sims that take those types of careers are considered unemployed slackers. Also, whether or not there are employees, if the owner doesn't show up, the business doesn't open and no money is made. EA can miss me with that nonsense.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a few more careers that have work-at-home options, though. Rap artist, lawyer, photographer, dancer, interior designer, architect, hair stylist or nail tech....

    Why? What difference does the career title make? Your sim disappears off the lot for it regardless.


    It's more immersive when you have an actual job present in game with its own panel and chance cards.

    Back on topic, I agree wholeheartedly. Working is a huge part of every sim game and I find it inexcusable for them to neglect this aspect of gameplay so much.

    There's too much focus on active or semi active careers (two EPs in a row only gave us those and nothing else)

    I think besides that, every EP should come with at least 2 or 3 new "normal" rabbit hole jobs. Is that too much work for the devs to have someone prepare all necessary text for them? It's literally just that.


    Bingo! and here comes my sims 5 please save us bit! ~~ and please be built for offline/single player from the start not a broken online project turned single player after the fact you see its sister project aka sims city online launch failures.

    Rather and before we get more careers, I would like to get the existing ones working properly. Especially the detective career is lagging a lot. Everything they ought to do takes a long time, before they can start. Yes, I would like more careers but please fix this first.
  • at this point, i'm really grateful that they finally fixed the detective career so that the clues match the suspect as originally intended. my entire game is laggy since i got the pets EP. so i'm not sure if the detective career is the issue with the lag in game. the lag irritates me to the point of going back to playing TS3 to get my "sims fix".

    more choices is always a good thing. (provided it's done well.) i really enjoyed the home decorator and stylist careers in TS3. but we had the color wheel with various patterns that allowed you to create matching furniture sets or outfits. so those careers are probably not doable in TS4.

    a lot of really good input. as i always like to say, "variety is the spice of life". i also would really like the ability to start a band. with the clubs able to get together, i'd think that it wouldn't be to terribly difficult to extend that to a band. then again, i'm not a programmer so no idea how difficult that would be.

    i agree that it doesn't seem to be that difficult to add rabbit hole jobs. modders do a lot for improving TS4 which always leads me to the question, "why can't the developers do the same"?

    We won't be getting any that rate. Since when do we get any Fix's needed?

    Maybe if they upped the random events? Like, every day instead of just occasionally?
  • I'd love more career, even if they were rabbit holes. I like the experience of leveling them up and collecting new items enough even if they aren't playable like in Get to Work. I hope that they do any career additions better than City Living though. I swear those careers take way longer to level up in, regardless of whether you work from home or go in, and the promotion bonuses were pretty lackluster. I did like the work from home options though, I would love to see more of that, or an option to work overtime from home after work.

    IDK, I would accept so much as far as new careers come. I just hope that we get something more because what we have is getting boring. I'm looking forward to seeing what the gardening career in Seasons is going to look like.
  • Seasons is getting a new gardening career. Flower sorter and Botanist branches. Sounds cute.
