More active careers please!

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?

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


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

    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.


    Yeah, sorry, that is what I was getting at. I have noticed that careers they add now are semi active, which is great, but yeah, I would love to have some of the existing rabbit holes as active careers.

    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.


    That's a kinda cool idea. :)


    yes me to
  • 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.
  • To me, turning an inactive career into a semi-active career makes more sense for some of our inactive careers that others.

    -Painting: the work from home assignment can be painting some paintings, maybe of a specific type.
    -Writing: The work from home assignment can be writing a book. Or, if a journalist, it could be interviewing a certain number of people. Perhaps it could be interviewing people at a certain type of location (e.g. interview three people at a nightclub).
    -Entertainer: The work from home assignment can be writing a routine for comedy or writing a jingle for music. Both career tracks can have assignments to perform live at a lounge.
    -Astronaut-The assignment can be to work on the rocket ship, or to go on a mission to space.
    -Criminal-Hack or pickpocket. Practice mischief for lower levels.
