So I'm not sure if other people have had this idea or if anyone else has suggested this. I was wondering why hasn't there been an update that turned the rest of the careers into professions? I think adding professions and giving the players the opportunity to interact and play with Sims at their jobs was one of the best ideas yet. It gives us more gameplay rather than home design and everything else I see most of the updates cater to. It would also be cool to go inside some of the buildings that have been on my map for the longest LOL. Also, being able to specialize in the careers would be cool. I imagined it going something like this (and if any of you have better ideas, please comment):
Artist: Painter or Sculptor
Athlete: I could say just different sports (Baseball Player or Basketball Player, etc.) But the amount of sports there are made it hard to choose. I was also thinking Professional Athlete or Olympian. But I know there is a lot of crossover with that. So I ended with Athlete or Trainer.
Firefighter: Firefighter or Paramedic (I guess you'd have the change the main name to something else, I can't think of another word for it other than first responder)
Musician: Musician (like instruments) or Producer (I thought about singer or Musician, but I guess the Sim Teen Idol thing covers that, idk)
Politician: for this one I'm thinking like Legislative branch or Executive branch. So like on a national US level, like President or Congressman/woman. But I guess on a town or city level, mayor or council member.
Real Estate Agent: This one was the hardest because...yea real estate agent. But after doing some research, I finally came up with Realtor or Broker. I know, not the best. Open to new and better ideas.
Scientist: Chemist or Astrologist (or Physicist or Biologist, the hospital has a research laboratory so that's biology.)
Teacher: Teacher or Principal (or Counselor) (Also, it's weird how teachers only work at the elementary school and not the high school. I can't think of any difference it would make. So oh well. Now if there was a university? Now that's a different story. There should be a whole university update. But that'll be another post I guess.)
The actions and rooms to unlock in the buildings are easy to come up with, I came up with a few myself. I just didn't feel like typing all that out.
Lastly, this concept should be applied to preteens and teens with going to school with them, similar to the downtown high school. But not as a hobby of course.
Also, add a preschool for the toddlers.
Okay I'm done. Thanks for reading! 🙂
