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 :)

I honestly can't wait for the freelance careers. They will be perfect for the sims that I like to keep at home.

Freelancer careers seem interesting, but why are jobs called gigs? For me, gigs are performances (on stage and so on). I think the word commission would fit better there.
But yes, it's awesome to see new things. Yes, these do remind self-employment in The Sims 3, but instead of finding a way to make money, sims find jobs they can do to earn money (that one reminds me of skill opportunities in The Sims 3).

I just wish they had chosen other topics than artist/computer/writer because these are already in the game from the beginning. But on the other hand we can't expect tons of new animations in a free patch. The new desk clutter is adorable and finally men get decent non-juvenile pants.

I was surprised photographer wasn't an option, since they patched photography as a base game feature and it's hard to earn money from it
