New freelancer careers, new content

is this something new or something not yet out

@catmando830 it's something that's not out yet. It's coming in a patch along with other stuff next Tuesday I believe.

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:

- Catering (cooking)
- Something with Handiness
- Interior Styling (really want this!)

I really wish they had gone for one of these options. I think the idea of freelance careers are very nice but there are so many other options they could have done instead of repeating careers we already have.

The freelance careers they added have the advantage of being able to be submitted digitally -- kind of hard to send macaroni and cheese through the computer. :p Perhaps they can figure out a way for non-digital works to be submitted.

They could have 'gigs' at random sims houses. Go there and prepare food for them - or, for handiness, go and fix some broken appliances or do some upgrades.

Wouldn't need to be complicated at all. A freelance caterer could simply prepare the ordered delivery, then add those servings to a crate that could be left outside the door to be picked up by the customer. Either some uniformed delivery sim could actually pick it up, or the crate could simply vanish. If going the less realistic way, the servings could be put in the mailbox, as a "symbolic" final action.

For non-digital submissions you could also have a 2 part system:

Make/collect craftable/collectible

Deliver to sim


The deliver part could be done by travelling to the sim's house (gigs would have to be from housed sims only) or event location (deliver a wedding cake to the venue etc), or by inviting the client over to collect the finished product. They could also improve the mail system in game so we can send things to sims that way.

Has it ever been confirmed that ALL potential future additions to this career will involve purely digital creations?

Morning Simmers! i love all your ideas and suggestions, give it some time and hopefully they'll add those extras once they see that the freelance careers take off! have a good one my simmer friends :) :)

Does this update add any new socials for freelancers to go on and on about how they are a freelancer?? Haha real life has already made me roll my eyes at the idea of freelance artist Sims, but the new careers look fun.

They have not confirmed that they will ever add any careers to the freelance options. Only that it is possible.

Then I'd say we might still get our freelance chef after all. I sure hope that, if they ever add new paths to this career, not all of them will require a computer or the internet, since my sims are already obsessed enough with it as it is.
