Self-employment, because why not?

(This has probably been mentioned here before, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway.)
So in my current profile in Sims 4, I haven't had my sim get an official "job," but instead, let her be an unofficial official gardener. I've honestly never taken things like gardening as seriously as I currently am in this game! I like how you don't make a lot of money at first, but then once you keep evolving your plants and just generally taking good care of them, the produce and things are worth more. It's great!
And it made me realize how Sims 3 had career tracks that were self-employment options, like a gardener, painter, fisher, etc. I'd LOVE to see this be implemented in Sims 4!!
My sim spends almost as much time out in her garden daily as other sims who work "normal" jobs. It's a job just like any other, so I'd love to see the game actually recognize that. I hate when it says my sim is "unemployed" or simply a "stay-at-home mom" when she really has built a strong gardening career for herself.
Honestly, this is something that I would have expected in Get To Work. Would've fit with the theme perfectly! I guess that doesn't mean all hope is lost though. I'll keep hoping sometime in the future, our sims will be credited for their home businesses and self-employment careers.

I loved self employment in TS3 Ambitions one of the big features of that pack.
Though I'm kind of torn on this one because of the fact that we have, already, the writing career and the painting career. But I would like if they did something like this.

Yeah, I guess that's true, though careers like the painting and writing ones still aren't completely self-employed because you still have to go to official "work." Unless you're talking about just freelance writing and painting and selling the works, but that was my point of this anyway, that the freelance stuff should turn into an actual career.

Yeah I agree about the GTW part too. As I think I mentioned, I wish it would have came straight out with GTW, because it would have made total sense, given the topic of the expansion, but it's still not too late because yeah, the basis is there. Hopefully sometime in a patch they'll give us this option! I wouldn't think it's too difficult to make at all. Fingers crossed.

It definitely isn't fair how the game won't recognize a hard-working, self-employed sim and we have to endure useless buffs because of it. I probably make it sound more dramatic than it actually is, but it's the little things in Sims 4 that get to me overall, rather than just the big idea and concept of it.

If I'm being totally honest, I really just want to run a spa, lol. I see my Sim spending lots of time in one, so I wouldn't mind them getting paid to be there too.
In Sims 3 one of the sims I played the most was a self-employed alchemist and it was a lot of fun. When his wife and him had their first baby he was able to stay home and work while watching his son as the wife worked at a rabbithole career.

That sounds like a fun playthrough in Sims 3.
Having a baby while being self-employed is great benefit! When I had a baby in Sims 4, it was great to be there at home all day with her to take care of her.

So, I'm hoping if they ever include it, it'll be in a patch.

maybe the Self Employed patch would come a week before the next GP.

Now that would be cool! We could potentially have any career and not need to actually have careers.
