Why still no career pack?
This is one thing that's been bugging the player base since launch ; the lack of realistic careers. A game pack with loads of careers in it would sell really well, I bet. I even read that's it's on...

I even read that's it's one of the easiest things to implement since they're rabbit holes.
I don't get the complaint about "no realistic careers."
We got culinary, writer, painter, and entertainer in base game. We also got tech guru which is a very realistic career depending where you live; tech companies are all over the world. We also got Business and Athletic patched into the base game when people requested more "normal" careers. The only careers that are really "out there" are Secret Agent and Astronaut. Even the Criminal career has a bit of realism if you're talking about mob/gang activity.
When I talk about "realistic careers", I mean careers you can realistically expect your neighbors or your former classmates to be in, so . Jobs in the medical field, law, education, bank, insurance or construction are far more common than painters, entertainers or athletes. Most of the careers in the game are too much out of the ordinary for me.
Well, a lot of the jobs are actually realistic, they just get less so as you get promoted... that's kinda the way the game works. I suppose you could try real hard not to get promoted though...
For me, I'm just bored with the careers and the same requirements also. The 'semi active' careers are kinda a joke however, it's much easier to just let your Sim go to work than to do the 'work at home' tasks.
But either way, yes, I'd love more careers too. But they have to think of related careers in the same field that actually have a possibility of promotion... although it would be nice if Sims could get part time jobs too.
I'm guessing they didn't bother with insurance careers because it would be similar to the business career. Law/education would be nice though (we have a medical career already). Construction... sounds good but you would probably end up as the head of a company anyway.
