Sims 4: Planning a career - you have to keep that in mind

When planning a career in the Sims 4, there are a few things to consider. We show you what you should pay particular attention to with the "Get to work" expansion, what options you have and how you can climb all the way up the career ladder.

These are the careers and professions in Sims 4

In Sims 4, apart from the usual careers, a distinction has also been made between occupations since the "To work" expansion. Unlike careers, you can accompany your Sim to work at work and discover completely new ways of playing. These are the careers and professions at a glance:

• Careers that you get through the basic game and in which you can then choose a professional branch: astronaut, business, entertainer, secret agent, sweet tooth, painter, athlete, writer, technology guru and criminal. The "Big City Life" add-on adds further careers: critics, politicians, social media.
• Professions that you receive through the "Get to work" expansion and that you can go to work with every day: doctor, policeman, scientist and retailer.

Sims 4: You should be aware of this in the new professions

If you choose one of the new professions in the "Get to work" expansion, you can actively follow your Sim's career and also intervene in everyday work. When you choose a doctor, police, or science career, you should consider the following:

1. You have to actively plan your working hours into your game, because whenever your Sim has to work, you can follow him. As a result, you neglect other Sims in the family because you can only focus on one Sim and his career. It therefore makes sense to choose only one profession for several adults; all others should ideally choose a career.
2. If you choose a profession for your Sim, you don't always have to go with you, you can send it alone. However, this does not always lead to the desired career goals.
3. With your decisions at work, you influence your transportation. At the top left you will find an area with daily tasks. You should do this whenever possible. If you do this well, your performance will increase and with it your chance of being promoted.
4. In addition to the daily tasks, you will also find general tasks in the job area that you may already know from the careers of Sims 4. You can find these tasks at the bottom right by using the briefcase icon.
5. Keep in mind that your moods and constitution will affect your career and profession in Sims 4. Therefore, not only make sure that your Sim has the necessary skills, but also that he is in a good mood.
6. In order to cope with everyday work, you have to take breaks. For example, go out to eat in the canteen or play a game on your phone. Otherwise, your Sim will find it difficult to solve all of the day's tasks.
7. If you are afraid that you will not be able to complete the tasks, you can extend the working time by clicking on the clock in the top left-hand corner.
8. When the work is done, you will automatically be taken back to the property. You should therefore complete all tasks in good time, otherwise they will no longer count.
9. If you want to leave work earlier, you can also click on the clock. However, you will then receive fewer Simoleons.

Opening a retail store - what you should know

When opening a retail store on the Sims 4, you should pay attention to other things, because in this case you are self-employed and have to think entrepreneurially. Here are the most important tips:

1. Make sure you rebook enough Simoleons to your store for change.
2. You can hire employees to do the work for you. However, you should pay attention to the reliability and experience of the respective Sim.
3. You can put individual items for sale or mark them as unsalable. The price can also be set. You can give discounts on the assortment and attract more customers.
4. With the right advertising, you can also reach more customers. But make sure that you do not place too large advertising if you cannot process the rush. Customers leave the store annoyed when they are not being served.
5. The best thing to do is to assign fixed tasks to the employees and start with a small business so that you can build up a firm customer base.

You should also take this into account when planning your career in the Sims 4

There are many things to discover and consider when planning your career. It is best if you find out the different possibilities yourself. Here are a few more tips:

• In addition to full-time jobs, you can also use your skills to earn money, such as selling caught fish (fishing), tipping music (violin, guitar and piano), or selling books (writing).
• Careers and professions can be changed as often as you like. You can also pursue a further career path after completing a career and continue to train your Sim in many ways.
• Teenagers can also pursue a career alongside their schooling, such as babysitting or shelf fillers.
