Style Influencer Career

I have 3 sims I created that currently live as neighbors in San Myshuno. One sim will join the fashion career tomorrow, so for now I'm not really playing her. She's just the neighbor currently, and the other two are sisters who both dream of being famous.

The oldest wishes to be famous through her writing. She's working on skills, writing books, and advancing in her career. The younger sister, just wants to be famous, no matter the cost. She's going to go thru the acting career. She's been working on skill related to her personality.

Once GF releases, I'm moving the sisters into their own houses in Del Sol Valley, and I'll be playing 3 households then. My stylist sim will stay in San Myshuno until or if it ever makes sense for her to move.

My sim own a bridal boutique so I'll have her start with the stylist career. She's going to work out of her boutique.

One of the dressing rooms in the back will be turned into an office and once Get Famous releases I'll update the boutique with some of the new furnishings.

Oh, that looks very lovely! I can see that working out very well, not to mention being able to change a townies clothing when they step up on the platform from get famous. That should work out really well.

I am really excited for this. I've wanted a way to give townies makeovers for awhile and like that I can have a sim start trends also.
I basically plan on having some sort of stylist in most of my save games because it's a big issue for me (making over townies).
I have multiple ideas.

I want one probably in a true celebrity save that will become a famous stylist. I see him as being kind of mean though and over the top in his personal dress. I'll probably start trends though of more subdued styles.

When the game came out I made a couple to do townie makeovers.. basically they would move them in and exercise/make them over. I'm considering doing something like that again... more combining this career with a personal trainer. So maybe in another save I have.

For my horror save I'm excited about putting Sweeny Todd in this position (maybe he'll be a barber later). I'll makeover and set trends in that save and he'll kill of those sims that I don't want to make over. Will have to see how to work with or around the new reputation system coming with the pack though..

I do love the idea of working out of boutique @simgirl1010 also I've never given retail a go and maybe I'll combine the two possibles also.

I've decided that Babs L'Amour will become my stylist.
I'll wait until Get Famous though. I want to play her in rotation with three other Sims that want to get famous.
They'll be slightly adapted versions of Bella Goth (actress), Bob Pancakes (social media/video editor) and Brant Hecking (DJ/music composer).

I have one sim, one of my grown up 100 baby challenge babies, who I thought would be perfect for it, so I've just started a new game with her and I'm about to get started. I'm really excited. I loved the stylist career in Sims 3, so I'm looking forward to this.

From the patch notes.

New Career – Style Influencer

Terrain tools, a first person camera, and a new career?! You’re one lucky Simmer! Starting today you can live your fashionable Sim’s best possible life in the new Style Influencer career. You’ll start off small by observing fads and reporting on the latest trends, but it won’t be long before you’re defining new looks that are worn by Sims all around town, or giving makeovers to help other Sims look on fleek.

In addition, two brand new objects will help you progress through this career…

Sketchpad
The sketchpad is perfect for the artist on the go. Not only can you draw quick sketches when inspiration strikes, but it acts as a pocket canvas for painters. It’s the simplest way to go out into the world and create beautiful masterpieces that can be printed and hung on your wall.
Sims with level 2 Painting Skill can use the sketchpad to create a wide variety of new art. You’ll find it under the Illustrative Painting interaction on the sketchpad.

Style-Board
The style-board is your Sims’ collage of inspirational material. A collection of sketches, photos, patterns, and material comes to life as your Sim is influenced by the world around them. As your Sim refines their own personal style, the style-board can be updated to reflect the current looks you’re working to create.

I haven't really thought about it yet! It sounds interesting and it might be fun. I'm sure I have a sim somewhere in my world that is suited for it.

So apparently the sketchpad doesn’t add fun unless you upgrade it (even for my Creative sim), and sims can’t paint and listen to music at the same time for some reason. I know I can upgrade it to make it better, but right now it’s just an inferior easel that can do impressions.

I have currently two Sims in the style influencer career. One of my ingame born Sims, just to discover the career and for fun, the other Sim was created today, because I will do a let's play series of "get famous" on youtube. I will play her until get famous and then find her an actor or actress boy-/ girlfriend.
