    in The Sims 4 Ideas Corner
    More careers would be great. Advertising is my biggest wish for this. There are so many stages that could be used. Freelancer, copywriter, social media marketer, art director, account manager, ect. ect. The Sims could even choose if they want to follow the artistic side of the career or the client side of it.

    What careers would you love to see in The Sims 4?

      Modelling, nurse, vet, administrater/receptionist, maybe have teens get part time jobs like lawnmowing, throwing newspapers, working at a burger joint, life saver(if not for teens in IP), then back to adult careers-baristas, work at the cinemas as behind the food and ticket counter, Papparazzi(lol)dog walker, landlord, maid/butler, plane pilot. Theres heaps og careers Maxis and EA havent touched on yet, hopefully there will be different types in Sims 4. :-)

      Hmmm, no one else has any ideas?

      How about a Veterinarian career path or different types of teachers (English, math, science and so on)

      Is there anything you guys think they could do to spruce up the current careers?

      Ohh modelling, pilot and paparazzi would be interesting! I like the teen career ideas too. There should definitely be fast food restaurants. That could be a career path too. work from crew up to owner. Great ideas!

      It's already been said..... but I NEED a veterinarian career! It's a must this time around! I'm really tired of having to go through the medicine route and work on humans (no offense). I'm in school in RL to become a veterinarian, I want my sim to reflect this.

      Librarian-work up from being a restocking library books to Head Librarian, Mailman-work up from sorting mail to Post Master, World Renowned Dancer-work up from stumbling newbie to world class Ball Room Dancer, Comic Book Writer-work up from doodler to World Renowned Comic Book Writer.

      Since I'm taking a guess that the careers that will come with the base game will be the same base careers in 3, it would be nice if they could add away for them to be more interactive. Like how the Medical Career in 2 has you going out and giving immunization shots to sims.

      I would like to see some of these careers

      - Lawyers
      - Type of trades
      - Dancer
      - Pharmacist
      - Psychologist
      - Nurse

      But a stand alone type job so you don't get promoted and no longer be in it like in Sims 2 you can sorta be a nurse but then you will change and be promoted to a Doctor, which is okay but I would like to opition to stay in the same position and just get a pay raise instead.

      Chores and careers. Break it down to something like this:

      Children and Teen Sims (chores):

      - raking a yard
      - taking out the trash
      - cleaning the toilet
      - vacuuming/sweeping/mopping
      - mowing lawns
      - cleaning their room
      - picking up their toys

      Teens (entry level jobs):

      TS3 had some of these making sense, like receptionist jobs and grocery baggers...but I'd like to see things like:

      - flipping burgers
      - waiting tables
      - cashiers

      And for YA/AD/ELD Sims:

      Well, anything that can be thought of requiring a degree, and/or requiring a high school diploma.

      On a side note: I think there should be children/teen programs! (Like scouting and whatnot).

      Some great ideas here. I think it should ultimately include every career option from the previous incarnations, as well as some that you can follow as per Ambitions, as well as the Self-Employed ones.

      I really miss a few of the Sims 2 careers.

      I would love some jobs/job levels to be only accessible after a University degree.

      Additionally, how about some more "normal" jobs i.e. more variety in offices, shop jobs etc and the ability to make it so that a sim can be frozen on a current level if the player wishes.
      Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

      I would like to see Real Estate, Construction, and more Home Businesses. It would be nice if there were more career paths to choose from when the careers "split" after a certain promotion. Like if you were in the Medical field, after promotion #5, you could choose to be a Child Doctor, Veterinary, Brain Surgeon or run a hospital. :-)

      I'd like to see internships.

      Lawyer, judge, balif, paralegal

      Specialized Medicine: General Practitioner, Pediatrition, Nurse, Sports Medicine, OB/GYN, etc.

      Specialized sports professions--soccer/football, baseball, basketball, American football, hockey.

      Maybe a Build-A-Career feature.

      Definitely careers that require a degree.

      I agree I think there should be modeling ! My personal opinions for jobs are being a Cosmetologist , Maid / or butler , Professor , Psychiatrist , Dancer , Landlord , Mailman , Taxi driver , Pilot , Video Game Designer ( there could be different branches for that ) , Vet , Nurse , Chiropractor , Body Guard ( maybe for like famous people ) , Librarian , Nutritionist , Construction Worker . Idk these are just ideas that popped into my head but I think there should be a thing where a sim can Volunteer like at a Soup Kitchen or at a nursing home or some thing like that .

      For Teens I think they should be able to make like their own mini businesses for example :
      Dog sitting ( or any pet )
      Babysitting
      Etc .

      I love all the ideas here, I was saying on another threat how I wanted a bigger range of careers.

      I wish sims were able to have NPC jobs like Maids and Babysitters too!

      Also, as a foreign Language student, it would be nice if they added a sort of... 'translator' job on International relations job with an expansion pack similar to WA. It wouldn't be an ambitions style job but i would just like to have my sim hold the title... be cool if Languages learning was a skill and you could get books with it too (I don't expect this from the base game but maybe in a WA style EP)

      Some careers that would be cool to see...

      Lawyer
      Veterinarian
      Engineer
      Nurse
      IT

      Ambitions careers like in TS3 - stylist, firefighter, etc.

      OFB careers like in TS2 - various shop owners and various shop options, ability to run restaurants, maybe add capability to run other venues (use ticket machine like in TS3)

      Daycare career like in TS3, but ability to drop your kids off with another daycare provider - this would be cool and a great alternative to babysitters

      I like the idea of different teen jobs.

      I also love the idea of an advertising career!

      I'd like to see the options to be a therapist, lawyer, vet (in the pets expansion), and farmer. I'd also like to see more low-wage jobs.

      That would be great. Most teachers (for instance) don't get promoted up to administration but they do get raises for experience and for getting more college credits. I'd like to see that in-game, too.

      ~ Real Estate,
      ~ Garbage man
      ~ Lawyer

      careers I would like to see in the sims 4 are below. Many were in previous sims games


      business, law-(judge, lawyer), law enforcement, film-(actor, director, animation, papparazi), agent-(acting, sports), politics, science, military, criminal, athletic, culinary, education, journalism, hacker, magic, music, day care, pilot, fashion- (designer, model), medicine- (nuerology,cardiology,physcology, dental), real estate, car (racecar driver, car dealer), accounting, engineering, astronomy, social networking

      I think having a prison career would be fairly nice too. Criminals would have somewhere to go. It could be anything from inmate to warden. I think I covered every major career I can think of. I have no idea how careers will work in the sims 4 but I know people are workin hard to make it a great game. I hope the people there will consider what I've wrote.

      What I would do (and one of a million reasons EA/Maxis would never listen to or hire me to work for them :lol: ) is take all the career paths from TS1 through 3 and put them in! Not all at once because that could be messy! Like for the superstar/celebrity expansion include TS1 fashion career or maybe the stylist career from TS3. Start out with the basics and gradually add as expansions or stuff packs see fit.

      There should be ballroom dances or even like imvu where you get spots to put in for different dances that will be cool and airports and other world's abroad I also think it should be like social media sites where u have other people you can talk to.

      Different careers will be really good I love books and I like writing them as well and would like to sell them in sims4 as a lbarian career would be good but there is so much more ea can do with sims4 I like the idea of having kids do chores and have teaching careers at a school and being naughty as kids do.
      From primary school to secondary would be interesting to see
