Careers you don't play?

There's so many different careers in this game, plus we can have home based jobs that are not really a career. No matter what kid of job you make up or your sim, there will always be a way to earn some money. In my game I added a few custom jobs. I follow some of my Politicians to work at the Council House, I have sims working for the regional TV studio, I even have a Janitor who's job is to clean up mess near food stalls, tend plants on community lots, and to burn leaf piles.

BUT, I always had a feeling there must be tons of careers I never play, especially because most careers split around level 5. So, I made a list of available jobs and did a check on all my sims YA and up. I ended up with 13 careers/jobs not in use. Many of them are custom jobs, or jobs not used for obvious reasons, while some I actually am surprised that I never played.

Secret Agent>Villain - never played this. Hardly played the "Diamond Agent" path either, but at least a sim is currently working on that one.

Social Media>Public Relations
Social Media>Internet Personality
I guess I never reached beyond level 3 or 4 in this career. I feel that new Stylist career covers much of the same.

Astronaut>Smuggler - never tried this path.

Style Influencer>Trend Setter
Style Influencer>Stylist
Both are very new to me, I played just a bit with the first levels, but didn't quite figure things out yet.

Dancer - I want dancing to be a job, so I added it to my list but must admit that I didn't even assign it to a sim in order to test it. Isn't there a ballet bar with some pack (that I obviously don't have yet)? The Spa pack? Perhaps I can combine Dancing with something else - like Trend Setter?

Vet - I never fancied this career, but I'll try it sometime.

Gardener>Botanist - eek, I love RL gardening, so why didn't I sens a few sims on the path to becoming Botanists? Guess they all chose the flower decorating path instead...

Archeologist - Well, I don't have the Jungle pack, so I guess it was a bit optimistic putting this on my list, lol :smile:


When a new sim grows up and needs a job, I tend to give them Culinary or Business because it feels so common, I guess. From now on I'll make sure that all job offers have at least 1 sim...

How about you, do you try all careers/paths?
