What do you do when you max out a sims career?

My amazing Sim Sylvia has maxed out several careers now. She enjoys taking on new challenges.

Buy a shop.

Move to a new one. Mostly I do careers for the unlocks. Once done, they hold no value to me. I prefer to generate income through crafting, gardening and interest anyway.

This, basically. Salary from careers are a very small part of my sims income. Once they reach the top, its not interesting anymore.

I often switch careers when maxed out after saving up Simoleons to a reasonable amount. But i mostly try to match them up in a way that makes sense and it fits the story/made up character of the Sim. Like Cook moves on to Critic Career (Food Critic) or Business CEO becomes a politician. Starting a Family and maybe raising Kids normally happens parallel to first career, to have a bit of a struggle.

This is me as well -- I usually either have them switch careers, or if they're doing something like painting, writing or programming I'll have them quit and freelance. Freelance programming combined with side jobs can keep the power on quite easily.

For me, it depends on the Sim and what their initial career is. For my athletes I normally have them quit once they age up into an adult or not long after and choose something else that interests them. Other times I've had my Sim just stay in their career until they are an elder then have them retire to enjoy the fruits of their work.

As for family, I tend to let the Sim decide if they really want to get married or have children (sometimes there are oopsie babies becaue of MCC and autonomous Woohoo).

That’s why I use MCCC to increase motive decay and slow down skill gain. It is very hard to max up career in my game lol keep me entertained.

I start new career unless i want to keep them in certain job for story purposes

or play with family things or hobbies or whatever for a change leaving them unemployed if they too rich rich

I like to get about halfway into the career with a single sim, and then I may have them move in with a significant other. They might start a family and during that time, I work on getting their promotions until they max out. They stay in that job unless I believe it's in their character to switch paths.

As for skills, I do that simultaneously and develop skills that are related to their chosen career or what I feel fits their personality. When they get to the max level of their career I don't necessarily get bored with them because it just means I have more time to focus on their partner's career/interests or kids (and their personal lives, making friends, finding potential partners for their future, building their skills too.)

One time I wanted to add something new to my sim's story because they were just a little too "perfect" and their record was too "clean"... in my head I made them have a scandal where there might have been rumors that they had to woohoo their way to the top (and maybe it could've been real?) and I made them lose their job and they needed to start from square one. The possibilities included starting in perhaps a different career, having to rebuild their image, move worlds...

All in all, I generally leave them be when they've made it to the top, but again, if their life is too great I definitely want to turn it around :) Because we love having sims suffer from time to time, right? Right.

I got my Lorna loren (ispired by Sofia Loren italian top actress) in painter career and reached the max... while going up in that career Lorna received a lot of calls to change her job... once Lorna accepted for a while...as influencer from level 4...but got back to painting... later I was wishing someone to call Lorna for a chef career (but not from level 1 dish washer) ... but I still wait for the call: Lorna has many max skills incuding cooking and it's also a planestar!!! It wouldn't be so nice for her to start as a dishwasher!!! . . . anyway for her the next apspiration will be: getting cooking prize (forever fresh food that do no get rotten to trhow in garbage) and I wanted to open a restaurant.

PS to gain more money Lorna and his husband Manolo (TOP level / career musician / fame) do streaming video on the video record station desk + drone . . . anyway at the beginning i used the trick for the money so they lived in a fab house from the start!
