I just wish they had chosen other topics than artist/computer/writer because these are already in the game from the beginning.

Well they're basegame and from a time we didn't have City Living semi-active careers yet, but I think the new format is what these jobs should have been to begin with.

Some branches however would not suit freelancing like patron of the arts, so I'm glad we'll have both options from now on.

There's a lot of potential with those freelancer careers, I can see them adding more and more over time, and modders making custom ones as well. Might be a little odd that they went with three things that are already in the game as it is (sims can do freelance programming if their skill is high enough, and the other two are basically the painter and writer careers without the regular working hours), but maybe that's just for testing the waters before they come up with things like freelance contract killer... Okay, maybe not, but... you get the idea.

I wish they had done a photographer freelancer career.

This would be great. Hopefully if they get a good feedback from simmers about this new type of career they'll implement photographer next.

I wonder if a private detective career could be done as a freelance career. Your sim checks to see what detective "gigs" are available and sets out to accomplish them. "Case Of The Missing Piano" for example.

That would be so much fun! I really hope they do expand the freelance work in the future. Sounds like it's gonna be a big hit.

Sounds fun, but I guess they will only make Freelance careers that can be played with only the base game? Detective would require GTW ep. Could be done as an addition to that ep though :)

Didn't they implement the photography skill in a patch some months ago?

I really love the new freelancer careers (I’m a freelancer myself) and I really, really hope they will expand them in the future with:
- Photography (photography)
- Catering (cooking)
- Something with Handiness
- Interior Styling (really want this!)

@Irdiwen OMG, yes catering would be awesome. :)

Singing would be fun as a freelance, too. Or wait, maybe the singing skill was introduced with City Living, so much have been patched inbto the base game... since there is not already a formal Singing career, it would be nice at least having it as a freelance option.

So feelance artists are basically just graphic designers. Ok, cool. I don't mind having other 2 freelance careers as options too. Sounds fine.

But I think they should add some careers for the Get famous EP as well. Currently It's only about acting, and being a youtuber. How about pop stars, rock stars, singers, classical pianists etc. How about adding some new instruments for our sims to play? Drums, electro-guitars, saxophone, flutes, ability to create a band and play together, become a famous music group together. That would be amazing.
May be we just need a "musicians" game pack that goes together with Get Famous EP and works fine without it.

Besides that, we also need some more normal jobs like teacher, academician, firefighter, pilot, architect, engineer, lawyer, etc.

I was beginning to get bored with careers available, this should be interesting. If it’s somewhat similar to the acting career, I hope the pay is better. At the max of the career my sim couldn’t move out of her starter home. This might actually make me train my programming skill, tbh I haven’t trained that skill in years in any of my sims

I wish we had a freelance DJ career. GT offers such great tools for being a DJ but it can only be a self registered job. Like the new career options :)
