Aside from the 4 active careers, Sims 4 has 12 professions that let you work from home. It just occurred to me yesterday that instead of working from "home" I could make a law office by the pier for my lawyer sim, a school for my teacher sim, a trendy hangout for my art critic/stylist/social media Sims, and a town hall for my politician sim.I can also use groups to make "co-workers" show up. And since it's not a retail lot they own, I can use all the unlocked objects or not, based on my storytelling.This might have been super obvious, but not to me. I'm off to build 12 profession lots for each of the semi-active professions!

I did this, too! I even have an open office where different jobs can "rent" a desk so they mingle with different workers. Most of my career workers are in clubs so they can meet one another and then I get to see them all clubbed and mixing together.

I like the idea. I think I will add an office building for sims to work. With clubs I can have co workers use computers, read books,... whatever is appropriate for the job. What lot type do you use for these workplaces? Most of the times when I choose work from home my sims work from home, it is because I have a toddler working on skills. If I create a building for them to work, I can add a little daycare for the toddler so the little one can come along.

I started my law office that's in Brindleton Bay. I made a street front with a cafe and art gallery, and made the lot type cafe so a barista will show up.I think a multi-floor office building with a cafe and daycare on the main floor would be fun too!

Nice idea to add a barista. It makes total sense to have my sims grab a coffee during work hours.

I know...I can't believe how many hours I've played my stylist just interviewing her roommates thinking it was sooo boring.

Just because I have to work from home IRL doesn't mean my Sims have to!!

I do the same thing!!! Its a lot more fun to do this rather than stuck spamming the same interactions at home. I've even been making generic lots in each neighborhood/world with "office" suites so that my sims with the work from home option can travel there to do there thing. Besides its fun to covert an old ugly build into a better one. I took one of the Karaoke bars in City Living (I think its Waterside Warble-the one where there 's individual little rooms with a karaoke set in each and a huge second floor with nothing but empty space.
Back when we got Ecoliving, I set it to Generic and deleted all the karaoke sets and then went a bit overboard with decorating. There's an office for my lawyers, engineers, civil engineers, stylists, and a daycare area etc on the second floor.
Then I have some more fun store fronts on the first floor including a bakery, coffee shop, brewery (room with a juicing machine), salon, and a laundromat. There's a lot of items from the Ecoliving pack to do outside such as the market place tables.
I like to send my sims there to complete their work from home duties. Its also fun for club hangouts and date nights.
