Why still no career pack?

University should bring in more careers.

We got 6 career branches with City Living. Cats & Dog also had the "active option".

I do think that they should add more traditional careers. But ever since Get To Work, people want "active" careers, and aren't really interested in other careers.

I think they should expand on both.

I"d like to see more careers using the CL "semi-active" career system, where you can either choose to go to the rabbit hole jobs or "work fron home". I'd also like to see a "self-employed" designation for people with less traditional ways of making money like gardening, archaeologist, freelance work like painting, writing or freelance programming, etc. Self-employed would also work for Sims who own their own businesses like retail stores or restaurants.

But I'm curious -- what careers are missing that would be considered "realistic"?

A TV meteorologist career with Seasons would be fun. One of the main skills could be charisma.

While they did improve in that department, the base game's careers were ridiculous.
It was like asking a kid "Hey Tobby, what do you want to be when you grow up?" And he would answer "A secret agent!" or "An astronaut!".

By realistic careers I mean something the average Joe would likely end up becoming, like a teacher, factory worker, mechanic, soldier, etc.

And of course they wouldn't have to release only rabbit hole careers imao.
It would just be a little easier for them to do so, and we'd get more careers that way.
This is EA after all. They can't even make matching furniture.

Just downloaded a bunch of new CC careers. I’m content for now.

I think the best part about new careers, is each career comes with a styled room that contains anywhere up to 20 new items.

I would LOVE more careers of any kind.. the teacher, the firefighter, the military, taxi driver, the car salesperson.. I would like some “everyday”
Careers.

I would love some more careers too .. my sims all seem to have similar jobs too sigh

Well, rabbit-hole careers aren't all that exciting. You go to work, you come home with money. They're all covered. We have active careers now, and semi-active careers. We can own a shop, a restaurant, and now a vet-hospital. Thanks to how much money you can make from Jungle Adventures, you can be an archaeologist.

I don't really see the point for more rabbit-hole careers since they cover so much already.

There are a set of mods on MTS that add the City Living career features to many of the base game job. So you can choose whether to send your Sim to their rabbit hole job or "work from home" with a few small tasks. It's great if you have toddlers at home; you can alternate between which Sim stays home and which one goes to work each day. Makes the base game rabbit hole jobs a lot more interesting.

The problem with owning a shop/retail/vet clinic is that you're still counted as unemployed. I'd love to have a Self-Employed category if you want your Sim to just be a freelancer who earns money painting/writing/programming etc. but doesn't have an actual job -- could work with the restaurant/retail ownership or the archaeology (if you finish The Curator aspiration you could probably make good money selling collectibles to the Simsonian).

YES. Exactly.
