Careers:
Some new careers which would be nice to see in the game.
- DJ (regular career, but other sims should be able to hire them for special events)
- Secretary (regular career, but other sims should be able to hire them as personal secretary. Similar to how nannies work but for the whole business week.)
- Reporter/ TV Host/Anchorperson
- Nuclear Physicist
- Fashion Designer
- Civil Engineer
- Lawyer
- Bank Clerk/Economist
Teens should be able to work as intern in sim's businesses.
Lots:
Farm - Huge lots where sims would be able to plant an orchard or cultivate crops. The available vegetable options should be expanded to include wheat, corn and soybean.
They could also be used to raise cattle: Cows, sheep, goats.
Sims would have to save money in order to be able to buy one of these lots.
The neighborhood containing these lots should have special venues too, such as 'The Barn Bar' with a mechanical bull machine (sims with higher fitness points stay longer on it), 'The Sims Rodeo Center' and 'The Soft Hay Love Hotel'.
Houses:
Trailer Homes - Sims should be able to occupy empty lots buying trailer homes. (don't confuse them for modular homes) Trailer homes should be offered in different sizes and prices. Sims would not be able to edit them, only buy or sell furniture. It should be less expensive than building a house. It should be easy for sims to relocate their trailer homes to another lot.

Introduction:
Welcome to the sweet country life in the Scandinavian! Move you family into a modern farm with simplistic furnitures and make a big fortune by having a lot of animals and crops and producing weed, nectar, milk, wool, meet and eggs. Or if you prefer the simple life, start a traditional farm with a few chickens and perhaps a horse and dress up with a flower crown.
Do many activities like sewing, knitting and nectar brewing. When you are hungry, enjoy eat out meal, meat balls and layer cake.
While the adults are working, let the children play with wooden toys or jumping the rope. Or perhaps they will make a perform a viking play for the grandparents.
When done working and playing, let the whole family dress up in traditional Scandinavian clothing and enjoy the folk dance.
Or just go for a walk or take the bike and enjoy the northern lights, high mountains and green fields with the solar and wind power systems in the distance.
The scandinavian countries are known for the happy populations. The reason for this is not the rainy weather, but our welfare systems: Sometimes you can’t find a job cause everything is taken. Or you are too old or sick to work. Or perhaps you are just studying, your parents are poor and you do not have time for a job. But don’t worry - the society’s got your back! Everybody will get a decent amount of money and pay a bit of taxes - and everyone, young and old - will get a basic income in return if needed.
