- Strangerthan8 years agoRising VanguardI'd love the law enforcement career if it wasn't bugged so as to be near impossible.
So I vote for the City Living careers. They offer great flexibility for when you have a family (especially toddlers!) and they're always fun for a play through. Food critic for life! - Lumiasta8 years agoSeasoned AceI voted City Living, because I love the work-from-home option. I wish more of the careers would have them, several of them would make more sense as such too, like writer, painter, tech guru, etc. The only reason all my new sims don't end up having City Living jobs is that I try to maintain some sort of career variety and balance in the game.
Scientist gets an honorary mention. It's the only Get To Work job where I always always -want- to go to work with them. Nothing like going to Sixam to party from work! - I think the Science career is probably my favorite over all I tend to do culinary and Social Media a lot as well and also a lot of freelance side jobs as well.
Science is nice because you can go to work with them but you're not required to. If they have their breakthroughs met (which they can obtain at home) you can send them in alone and they'll get promotions regardless at least on the lower levels I've haven't played the whole career so I don't know what higher level requirements might add. - I tend to play the City Living careers the most. I need to not play those so much though.

- I've not tried the City Living careers yet, and Detective doesn't appeal to me, so I've only got first hand experience of Medicine and Science.
Ultimately I found the Medicine career frustrating and repetitive, aside from a few good animation gags, and I never got to max level as I have done with Science (on more than one character). Provides some great toys for your house too.
For the non-active careers, I go with Writer and Tech guru most often. You can just put a PC down in the living room, next to the fireplace and stereo, and tell your Sim to go Program/Write. Your family is able to chat to them while they work and their needs stay up. You're not banishing them to the Kitchen or the Easel and you don't need to micromanage much. This is especially true of Tech Guru since the basic salary is decent, I only ever "practice programming" rather than having to queue up book after book.
Astronaut is cool, but you have to work on two quite disparate skills (logic, fitness) though i still chose it often.
Business and Sports require charisma, which isn't easy to level up. Worse, personal trainer requires you to go to work in a confident moodlet which is not as easy to arrange as Inspired (shower, browse art) , focused (chess board, pc) or energised (shower, coffee, workout). The daily task, mentoring, takes ages, and your sim can't do anything else at the same time - they're not working on their own fitness or building charisma, the other prime requisite! - alan6508 years agoSeasoned AceThe scientist career is by far the funnest of the lot! I love the breakthrough concept in daily life game play and the cool inventions and potions you can create.

Charisma is easy to level up if you're not opposed to having your sims talk to other sims a lot it goes up way quicker if you're using the charisma interactions then it does to have them practice in front of the mirror. Easiest and quickest way to get a Confident moodlet is to have your Sim brush their teeth it makes them Confident very quickly and lasts for four hours!- Accidental Double Post.
- Karababy528 years agoLegendI absolutely adore the Scientist career. It's the coolest/best career in TS4 in my opinion. Breakthroughs, the inventions they can make, the fun clothes you get when leveling up, Alien party on Sixam and the robot constructor (which is so cute!) all make this a very fun, and very profitable career. I also love the laboratory lot, it has a TON of collectibles and a fishing area.
I also like the culinary and painting careers too. My absolute favorite career across all iterations though would have to be the military career in TS2. I'm hoping *crosses fingers* we'll get that career for TS4 one day. :)
