What Career(s) Do You Usually Go With, and What Are the Career(s) You Stay Away From?

I always seem to go for Social Media, Detective and Freelance Artist. I usually stay away from criminal (I don’t tend to have many bad sims) or scientist and astronaut, but I’ve been curious about playing the latter two recently, so I may just try to!

I try to match them with the sims and their environments. For example, I'd rarely choose conversation, lifeguard, or fisherman when not living in Sulani. If a sim has a degree, I try to match a job to it.

However, I do tend to avoid the extra active ones unless it is my main sim or I just want to play one specifically. I am usually more focused on other overarching things than just their careers, so having to travel with them every day is too much of a nuisance unless I wanted to play it specifically. Plus having a bunch of Sims in different active careers is quite the hassle. (I nearly always play a household of eight.)

I usually stay away from rabbit-hole careers that don't have a work from home option. I only use those on background character sims I have no intention of playing.

My most common thing to do with sims I play a lot is no career at all, just collect, craft or grow stuff to sell. But I do play with the scientist, detective, and actor careers. I haven't tried the doctor or vet careers yet.

I also sometimes use the freelance careers and the careers that have the work from home option. Probably my favorite of those so far is the social media career. I have an evil-genius-goofball sim with a "chief of mischief" aspiration doing that one and it suits him so well. :naughty: :joy:

I always go for a normal career/profession, like Business, Lawyer, Teacher or Doctor.

If i'm bored I will try the unusual one like Special Agent or Social media just for kicks.
