The Sims 4: Careers Guide

Pretty much every sim in the game is going to have a career at some point or another since sims need to earn money to survive. These jobs in The Sims 4 are varied and all have different skills associated with them and different tasks for your sims to complete.

Understanding the different careers can completely change how you play the game and make things much smoother when choosing the way that a sim will live their life.

How to Get a Job

If you want to get a career for your sim in the game you have the option of clicking the find a job button in the phone menu or by clicking it in the career panel.

This will open up a box where you can choose from any of the careers, or scroll down to the bottom of the options and choose a part-time job.

In this box you’ll see your initial hourly pay, the days you’ll work, and the description of the career.

Changing How You’re Working

When your sims are at work you actually have the option of choosing how they are working. As a default each day your sims will start off by just working normally. This will decrease their fun need at a regular rate and they won’t be in an awesome mood when they get home.

To change the way your sim is working you can click on the small briefcase icon that is on the grayed out image of your sim on the bottom panel. You’ll have the option to work hard, take it easy, socialize, and more depending on your career. If you choose to socialize your social need will go up and you may meet people and make friends. If you choose to take it easy your sims fun need will go up but their work performance won’t improve.

This is also where you are able to leave work early if you need to come home to take care of kids or just don’t want your sim to be at work any longer.

How to Get Promoted

Getting promoted is great because you’ll earn more money and in many cases work fewer days. There are a few things that you need to focus on for your sims to get promoted. The first thing is your required skills, usually there are two skills that your sims are going to need to gain before they are able to get promoted. For example, working in the writing career as a journalist your sim will need the writing and charisma skills at certain levels in order to continue getting promoted.

You also need to try your best to do your sim’s daily task when they are at home after work. This isn’t 100% necessary for you to get promoted that day, as it is more based on skills and overall work performance. However, doing these daily tasks is going to increase your performance helping you get promoted.

Finally, you need to focus on your work performance. This is the coloured bar in your career panel that increases when you are at work, especially if you are working hard. You will only get promoted if you have reached the end of the career panel.

Career Branches

Most careers have a branch decision where you’ll be able to choose a more specific type of job for your sim. This doesn’t happen for active careers or for freelancing. Choosing a branch opens up different rewards, work hours, pay and more.

For example, someone in the business career will have to choose between the investor branch or the management branch of the career. These decisions usually have a similar amount of pay, but not exactly the same.

Taking Vacation Days

Whenever you start a new career in the game you will automatically be given 3 vacation days to take whenever you’d like. To take these vacation days you want to go to your phone and under the household panel there will be an option to take vacation day.

You’ll start earning more vacation days by going to work and not missing shifts and getting promoted. You can save these up and take a longer period of time off, which is great if you want to stay at home with newborn babies or toddlers.

Active Careers

If you have The Sims 4: Get to Work installed in your game you have 3 active careers available for you that you. In these careers you are able to go to work with your sims to be a doctor, a detective, or a scientist.

In these careers you’ll have a number of tasks that you can complete each day to get a rank either bronze, silver, or gold for each day of work and completing a gold day can get you some bonuses.

These tasks are great for players who want to control every single part of their sim’s lives and can be a fun challenge for these players. However, if you are a player who wants to send your sims away and have a break from them this may not be the best choice for you.

Working from Home

There are a number of careers in the game that have the option of working from home instead of just going to work each day.

Each day an hour before your shift is scheduled to start you are going to get a pop up in the bottom left hand corner of the screen asking if you want to go to work, work from home, or take paid time off.

If you choose to work from home you are going to be given a handful of tasks in the career panel that you need to complete before the start of your next work day.

You’ll be paid a small amount of your daily pay each time you finish a task and can be given bonuses from your employers if they think you did a good job.

Working from home is a good option for parents who need to take care of their babies or toddlers all day, or if you have poor needs and need some time to make your sim happy before you start working for the day.

Ways to Stop Working in The Sims 4

How to Retire from Your Career

When your sim ages up from an adult to an elder they have the option to retire from their job so they no longer need to work. You will find this option on your sim’s phone and they will get a bit of money each day just like how royalties work. Everyday around 10 am your sims will get a small percentage of their previous pay as a retirement package, not a ton, but better than nothing!

How to Quit Your Career

Sometimes when you are playing you may just not want your sims to work for a specific career any longer, or you may just want to stay at home or pursue your passion. In order to quit your job in the sims you want to go to your phone and in the career panel there will be a quit job option. You’ll get a pop up asking if you are sure that you want to do this, and you can say yes or no. Beware because some sims are going to be sad if they quit their job!

Part Time Jobs

If you don’t want your sims working stressful jobs and having 8 hour days, you also have the option of choosing a part time job instead of a full blown career. These are jobs that are only a few hours a day and can be easily completed daily while also pursing dreams of art or writing or raising a family. These jobs are also available for teens to participate in after school or on weekends.

Babysitter

“Get paid to play with kids – and keep them safe and all that. You get to be in charge…”

The first part-time job is to become a baby sitter. In this job to get promoted you need to earn the charisma skill and you will be working exclusively on weekends. It’s a great option for teenagers or as a second job for someone who has a regular Monday to Friday career.

Barista

“If you love hanging out at the coffee house and already know all the fancy drink names, why not get paid for it?”

The barista part time career is interesting because you only work two hours each morning during the week. To get promoted in this career you are going to need to gain the mixology skill and be willing to wake up before 5 am each day. Probably not the best choice for a teenager since they’ll need to attend school and will be too tired.

Diver

“Grab your snorkel and get to work! Being a diver is all about exploring the depths of the ocean floor.”

Diver is a part time career that came with The Sims 4: Island Living. Your sim will be working from Monday to Friday and to get promoted needs to buy specific items from the diving buoys to get promoted.

Fast Food Employee

“Earn a little spending money serving food to people you know. And wiping up after them, for a while.”

Working as a fast food employee means that you can work from 6 am to 10 am or from 5pm to 9pm. You’ll work 5 days a week and need to gain a bit of the cooking skill and charisma skill to get promoted.

Fisherman

“Relax by the water and let the fish come to you. It’s all about how you catch ’em (hook, line, and sinker) when you’re a fisherman!”

Working as a fisherman is a good option for any player who has The Sims 4: Island Living. These sims are going to need to gain the fishing skill to get promoted and will work Monday to Friday.

Lifeguard

“Sunscreen, whistles, and the occasional shark are all part of everyday life as a lifeguard. Love swimming, safety, and yelling at rambunctious children trying to drown each other? This is the part time career for you!”

Working as a lifeguard is a great part time job if you have The Sims 4: Island Living. This one will need your sim to gain the fitness skill to get promoted.

Manual Labour

“Do you find muscles appealing? How about money? Pursue a part time career as a manual labourer and you can create, get paid, and become buff (all at the same time!)”

Working as a manual labourer in The Sims 4 is a decent option for a part time job on the weekends for teens and adult sims. This job will have you needing to gain the gardening skill to get promoted and earn more money.

Retail Employee

“Set your sights on the future by launching your career in sales. From creating displays to disarming customers, you’re on your way to perks, discounts, and sweet simoleons.”

A retail employee is going to be working a lot more than some part time jobs. You’ll have to work 5 days a week either from 9 am to 1 pm or from 6 pm to 10 pm depending on what works best for your schedule. To get promoted in this part time career, you’ll need to work on the charisma skill.
