Please, please, pleeeease EA, can more of the careers be active/semi active. :( Especially if you're playing a single sim household, it's incredibly boring to have them disappear off for virtually the whole sim day and not be able to actually go to work with them. Work is such a huge part of alot of people's lives, and not getting to go to work with your sim and meet their colleagues, control how they get on etc, is such a shame. I never choose rabbit hole careers for my single sims or sim heirs for this reason, and it's really limiting. I'd love to play as a chef for example, but because the career isn't actually even semi active, you don't 'play' as a chef, and it could be a huge part of your story! Who else feels this way?

Your suggesting that they retool some of the existing rabbit holes so that they're at least semi-active? It's actually really unusual that they add new rabbit hole careers.

Yes. I want to be able to play as a chef too or even as a waiter. I wish they refresh Dine Out.I also dream of a playable office job hahah

I sometimes like to combine rabbithole careers with active gameplay elements so it feels like an active career. For chefs you could probably set up a cooking school or a food vending business, but would be nice to get hired to cater events too.

They should rather fix the existing broken careers (DHD!!).

More active careers please! | EA Forums

I like the option of; send Sim to work, go to work with Sim, work at home or a personal day off. I would like this for all professions. This would allow so much more flexibility and content for our Sims.

Sometimes I want to hyper focus on one Sim, while managing the other Sims in the same households. I personally love the work at home options. But sometimes I do enjoy going to work with them. I need things to help keep my other Sims occupied, whiling working on a particular Sim. So, rabbit holes come in handy for that. I also would like various items that build a Sims skill, while keeping them occupied for a time.

New active careers:
- Forest Ranger (New): National Park

- Librarian (New): Library
- Guide (New): Museum
- Analyst (New): Museum
- Museologist (New): Museum

I would love more active careers and think it would be an awesome addition to the game.

In lack of that, since I don't think they'll add any to the base game, I second the idea for semi-active careers. With those you can always set up offices, and play them as if they were active, especially if you have get together and can make clubs for the career.

that, too. The nurse and orderly in Get to Work are useless. My doctor is tired of doing everything.

agreed! we need more careers in general and just more basic realistic careers. my favorite type is semi-active but it would be ideal to have all three options available: active, semi-active, rabbithole.
