What are your plans for the new Style Influencer career that will be included in tomorrow's patch? Do you have a particular sim picked out for the new career? Are you going to jump right in or wait until Get Famous releases so you can also work on your style influencer's fame?Here's the livestream to review.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH_zPqObYkk

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.https://i.imgur.com/1yOPaIh.pngOne 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.

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).

So I'm having an issue with working from home. My sim has to 'sketch for two hours' for her work from home assignment, but no matter how much time I spend on the sketchbook object, it's not being completed. Does anyone have an idea what I might be doing wrong?

Eva from Partihouse in Get Together! She just moved in with her boyfriend Mitchell Kallani, and now it's time she grows up a bit and gets a job.

The same thing happened to me, so you're probably not doing anything wrong.

Since TS1, I've had the same sim enter every iteration's fashion career (sewing hobby in TS2), so it'll be nice to finally introduce her into TS4.

So far, the career offers a bevvy of new career-oriented interactions, but social options like "discuss fashion" seem to only be available once per meeting.
I've also noticed that the digital sketch pad does not complete any of the requirements for the Painting Extraordinaire aspiration.

@simgirl1010 Your bridal shop looks great!

I love the new career, it adds lots of small gameplay interactions and I enjoy these a lot (I can't wait to see sims wearing my designs).

It pays so much though. I like to play the {young adults, without a care in the world} bracket the most - earning from 30 to 60§ per hour- and not many levels of the new career fit that. Only one actually.
A lot of cool interactions are unlocked at higher level anyway, so that's good, but my level 7 trend setter is already earning 205§/hour which makes her fall into my {filthy rich, never even heard of the word budget} bracket and I don't know how to play Those.

At some point when you click on the sim you can also plan design (or something, playing in french) which I suppose lets you create outfits sims around the world will wear, but my townies don't. Does it work for anyone ?

I dunno what plan design does, but at a certain point in the career you can click on your sim to "create trends" and that is the option which lets you create outfits that random sims will wear walking around.

My sim just married Caleb Vatore, who's unemployed, so guess who just got a new fashion Guinea pig?

What a lovely idea, and a beautiful bridal boutique! <3 Mind if I ~~steal~~ *ahem* get inspired by it for my own game?

If anyone knows Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, I've had the Bennet family in my main save for a while, but never knew what to do with Kitty career-wise. I once wrote a fanfic about her discovering her talent as a fashion designer, and this new career is... not exactly that, but close enough. A bridal boutique seems like a perfect place for her to work, especially since the girls were so obsessed with getting married in the book, and maybe I'll have Lydia quit her current job and help out in the boutique as well. The style influencer career has two branches after all, one for each girl.

Can anyone tell me what the branches are, by the way? I don't remember them from the livestream, and can't look them up right now because I'm pretending to be at work while thinking about new Sims stories.

The branches are Stylist and Trend-Setter, but they're practically identical in terms of gameplay.

So, they finally worked for me, and they work really, really well. 1/3 of present sims were wearing them.

The style board, once completed, lets you add moods to your outfits, which is a nice addition. You can also change colors but you can't go back to the original one.
