Playing the base game careers with or without mods, is just a pain. To me, anyway. EA might have changed the way promotions are achieved, but I would rather have to make friends in order to climb the ladder, than do the same daily task every single day. And in Sims4 life is all about going out and having clubs and friends. So why is making friends not a part of getting ahead in one's job? Rather than getting back some of the old careers, why doesn't EA make the ones we have a bit more interesting and challenging? Almost every Sim I play turns a hobby into a home-based career. And there are many ways to make money other than jumping into a career in this game. I guess if I had to wish for one career to come back, it would be the military career. It was fun watching my Sims navigate the obstacle course.
Yes. I don't mind daily tasks but the careers don't always have to be about that. It feels so much like level grinding in some of the MMORPGs I've played. I'd love to have other ways to go up the promotion ladder, like for instance the friend requirement @Paigeisin5 mentions here above. Maybe having to get on a good side of a Sim or Sims that is/are influential in the job of our choice.
And here is just an idea. We have a clubsystem now. Maybe weave a certain club into a requirements for some careers or something that would give a promotional boost or even a lateral position with maybe payrise or even a payrise but not a promotion that is only opened by joining or even creating certain clubs.

MY favorite one so far in TS4 is the Doctor career. I'D love to see more interactive careers too. They're so much fun. :)
They are, yes, BUT they need to be fixed first. The detective career has been buggy for a loooong time! I also love the ones that you can choose wether you want to work from home. I find those are great for single parents who don't always want to send their little sprogs to daycare. I wish there were more careers like that.
All the ideas here for a career is great, and I could see several of my Sims doing lot of these jobs.
