It still seems odd that Sims 4 doesn't feature a Real Estate agent (and/or Landowner) career. Considering homes and buildings play such a big role in the franchise. Though It does exist in Sims Freeplay, it's just a rabbit hole. In Sims 4, it can be an interesting part of the game in that players could go to the job like in GTW or GF and have to fix up house (or land), complete tasks, get rated, and advertise in order to meet their salary or job goals. They could also be encouraged to meet a quota for bonuses. Does anyone else think this career could add something interesting to the game? If so, feel free to share your ideas.

This actually sounds like a good idea. I would propose that you post it in the section for ideas for the game though; it is now in pack discussion section. I was also very confused by the phrasing of the title, my first language isn't english.

I want them to add something like this. In Sims 3, we could buy community lots.

I’ve thought about this before. It’d be a great add on. You could have:Real Estate Career, show Sims around homesOption to sell your own houseFlip your home, renovate and make a profitHold open houses (Clean and well decorated homes do well at open houses, but it may not go well if your Sim leaves out dirty dishes etc)For sale signs Browse lots for sale onlineMake an offer on a house or receive offers on your house

I'd also be very interested in a real estate career with interior design, house flipping, real estate investment, rental income and more. I'd also want some ways for it to be difficult such as a seller's vs. buyer's market that changes, houses that need a lot of maintenance (like the CL apartments), old houses needing restoration, new builds and more.I want a pack in which sims can lose or win large amounts of money. Real estate, gambling, rich sims with good or bad investments, a stock market, this is all missing from the game.

I think it is more because of the lot ownership system. You cannot buy up the entire map like 3, which I have always found a shame. I want to buy multiple homes, businesses, etc.It is probably due for a large update at some point.

Why isn't The Real Estate Career or Landowners option not in Sims 4?

I think these would all be great ideas! I’d love to be able to own more then 1 home and get my sims to fix up old homes. I think it would give a lot of people that don’t build a reason to build.

yes i would like them to actually own some properties and rent them to my sims

Lol, I cheat with the Landgrabbs and they own most of my retail places. I also gave them a live in maid, and someone who has a leveling 10 in almost everything. I hate that we can’t open a business without someone owning it. Oh, and they have a butler too.... lol

Love these. Browsing online for lots and getting offers for our sim houses would be awesome additions.

There should be nothing confusing about the title. It's actually pretty straight forward, lol.

If they do add a real estate agent career they should also add an architect and interior design career. Maybe be a "Home Designer" then branch of into "Architect" or "Interior Design". Even if these are just rabbithole careers.

Well, I can definitely see the Interior Design career also being option, too. Especially, since they sometimes "stage" houses that are up for sale in real life.

I wish they would add real estate career as a playable career. It would be the perfect pack to add bunk beds, space savers, different types of stairs, elevator.

Also careers
1. House builder
2. Interior designer- Sims 3 easy to be instead of branch maybe later. Not tried stylist, but it didn't look like Sims3.
3. House flipper

All those additions you mentioned is what I and so many others have asking for a long time now. In fact, I was just working on a tall apartment build in the game and noticed that the elevator that comes with City Living is limited in it's use. So I had to use the limited stair options which was a little aggravating.

As far as careers, those are all great ideas. I can definitely see being a House flipper as a rewarding and challenging type of career. Especially, if your sim is required to adhere to a budget plan, lol.

Except those are sort of pre-made one and no other sims get that option. That's why I didn't mention them. But hey, they could be part of a new real estate career option since they are in the game. Btw, always thought it was funny how their name is "Landgraabs" :)

i absoloutely love this idea but i feel like they would bring this as a pack since there are so many options when it comes to real estate agency

Idk. Maybe. I guess it depends on what kind of options you had in mind. Aside from Real Estate career, some have mentioned Architect career and there could be an Interior Design career, but what else could be added?

Yaaaas Queen! I agree! Especially on the real estate career. It'd even be cool if your company or employer gave you set funds & you have to either furnish a home to a style and skill set (example: modern 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with an easel.) Or have to build an entire home from that budget. Depending on the space available world to world. Which could include a preference for location. There's already weather preference. Lol and I totally thought I was the only one who wants lawnmowers/ lawn care with how negative a reaction BTD got. Jk - but 2bh I've had similar feelings on this, too! I think lawn mowers being added is super possible. How funny are it be to see the grass grow and get all gnarly to where they trudge through it like the deep snow of SE.

All great ideas. Especially the part about sim "clients" having a preference for location like you see on those Hgtv reality shows, lol.
