Hmm. There are no choice of different tracks in the current active careers.

Doesn't mean they can't, though. Zerbu's Turbo Careers mod adds active gameplay to the base game careers, and they still have branches.

But honestly, I don't know what would be fun about going to an office to post on social media all day, or signing bills in the White House or whatever. They're much better off being "disappear for a day" careers with some promotion requirements that encourage you to go to a community lot.

You know what would be great? If you could sign laws that actually changed the way the city was. Sadly, this is The Sims 4.

I like this idea. The leaks suggested we'll gain the ability (somehow) to build on those un-buildable mini-park lots, it'd be cool if that was tied to the politics career.

And signing laws could be doable: just treat it like the satellite dish in GTW (it could make Sims town-wide happy or sad), or could even spawn protesters outside your house who get into arguments (if now all-out brawls) with you!

I doubt its an active career. They tend to spill the beans right away. All the beans. That blog and trailer was probably 90% of the expansion

I wouldn't have thought it will be an active career which is a shame and a wasted opportunity. Having a political active career would have been the best and would be so much fun! I'm hoping they surprise us and say it is an active career but i'm not holding my breath.

Not knowing if the political career was active or not, I built a City Hall to add to my game (if there isn't one already in the game). t has a civil court, a criminal court, holding cells, police station, DMV, jail, cafeteria, library, kids library, mayor's office and reception area. If your curious, you can find it here: #dannydanbo

Yours came out cool.

This is mine,

It was modeled after the one in Real Life

The place has plenty of secret passage ways. I plan to do an attack at some point, where the city goes under siege and they plan to assassinate the mayor.

WOW! Amazing interior! where did you get those walls, tapestry behind the front desk, and the chandelier?

No there isn't. But's not to say that it will be the same for the Politician career if it is an active career. Because the SimGurus working on this part of CL could have found away around that by now. But like I have stated here, and what SimGuruDrake had told me when I commented on the Politician career here. More info on this career will be coming soon! ;) <3

I bet for the Politician career, you need your Sim to really work on his or her social skills.

That's a given anyways because that's mainly what a Politician does anyways, socialize with the public.

Did she mention which ones?

@Swiftlover13 I really hope they allow us to change laws! It would be amazing! Sims is all about giving us options to be creative and making laws would just be another creative tool.

To add to that: toddlers should come in a patch, therefore it's a different team.
