Bring back the Military career

simmese · December 2016

Maybe its just me but I really miss the Military career.

Id love it if EA brought the Military career into TS4 sometime soon , perhaps as an interactive career this time .. or maybe a Modder could do it ?
Either way I really want my sim to start learning how to clean those latrines properly xD

Yeah miss that career in the game. Also self employed, fireman, ghost hunter. I love playing those.

lovlyb · December 2016

Lifeguard too. You think we will ever get to run a resort again. That will be nice

friendlysimmers · December 2016

sorry op but no i clearly do not went that carrer to return to the game

BridgetKV · December 2016

The military career always used to be my go-to in The Sims 2, I hope it makes a return in this iteration of the game

I'd also enjoy a military career. It would be one more great use of the fitness skill, and why not logic skill.

DoloresGrey · December 2016

Yes please! Military career was my favorite in TS3. I loved how they only work 1 day when they reached high level.

pandie00 · December 2016

I miss military career aswell! And Education career and Law.. aNd architecture career!! ohh

papersuitcase · December 2016

Yes. We need more careers. Education. Military.

I'd also like to see more part time job options for teens AND adults.

luthienrising · December 2016

I'd love Military back. I wish I could think of a pack it would fit in well with, though

Maybe a superhero pack? Superheros and the military. I would buy that.

I think the game needs a lot more careers. Especially for players that like to play generational-style, there just isn't a lot of content as far as careers go.

They should also add in more realistic careers, like education and such. There's no need for every Sim to be a top secret agent.

I'd love to see an active schools pack that included a teaching career. And seconding you on needing more careers generally. I need them not as a generational player but as a fill-all-the-worlds player. Military and education are way up high on my list, and I'd like to see a farming-type career (as something fresh, too), and something along the lines of acting/moviemaking, singing/bands, and fashion. After that I start running out of ideas I can imagine as being ones that have 10 reasonable (not totally forced) steps and possibly two branches, or that might be made active, or that fit into a larger pack concept

Oh! Remembered more. Something along the lines of factory labour rising up to industrialist, though no idea about packs for that one. Something with cars would be fun alongside any of the car pack concepts that were circulated in surveys. And also part-time careers for adults that aren't just the teen careers (which are set up to happen when kids aren't in school).

Ive always wanted a vet career ... and id love it if it was interactive as well.

I got no joy with TS3 , maybe TS4 will bring it ... fingers crossed

Terra · December 2016

I really want good career options for outdoorsy Sims, and for some of them, military would fit the bill. (I would also loooove some sort of Parks & Rec career where you Sim can rise from picking up litter along the highway to working as a park ranger, then ultimately running Sim Nation's whole National Parks system!)

SilentKitty · December 2016

Yes please a military career would be great

griffin1842 · December 2016

I really want the military career back for story telling purposes! I don't think it needs to be an active career (in my opinion), but I'd hope it would have cool career reward objects like a chin-up bar and a folded up flag or something else to be displayed at home. Also unique interactions like a salute.

I think part of the problem with Sims 4 careers is the career levels in quite a few of them don't actually make sense. In Sims 3, for instance, the doctor career makes a bit of sense (though obviously you miss medical school until University). Okay, organ donor is silly, but every single person I know who went to medical school worked as a paramedic as an undergrad. The progression actually makes sense.

In Sims 4, you go from nurse to doctor? That's an insult to nurses everywhere plus ignores that they're different fields.

WillowG145 · December 2016

I had many sims in the military career in the sims 3. Is one of my to-go career. I find still so strange that the sims 4 lack so many things that should be base game-stuff.

As a nurse myself, I actually created a mod for my own personal use that changes the medical career to nothing but doctor levels.
There's already NPC nurses at the hospital, so it doesn't affect them at all.

True, the organ donor was a silly one, much more realistic would be medical test subject. I know a lot of uni students who have taken part in various medical trials. But paramedics here are a different career path, I think. I've got a couple of firends who are in the medical field, one is a scientist, the other is a GP specialising in aged care, I don't think either were paramedics.

Yeah, nurses becoming doctors is a bit rude.

The doctor career should be ore like: Medical subject; trainee doctor; er doctor; gp; specialised field; top of specialised field.

Paramedic while different than an MD can be obtained by mainly OTJ training. Every person I've known who has gone to medical school has had at least an EMT license, and most got their paramedic license. It's not the same as nursing which requires a couple of years bare minimum in a specialized nursing program (and more nurses today go for a BSN). Nursing is not a stepping stone to getting into medical school whereas EMT/paramedic looks good on med school applications and the license can be obtained while attending a premed program.

There are nurses that do become medical doctors, but it's more likely for a nurse, if they go for post grad degrees, will get a post-grad nursing degree. They're just different fields. I think a lot of people don't understand how much education it takes to get an RN. Two years minimum, but 4 years is far more common.

Oh, baby doctors practice on each other all the time.
You know that one Grey's Anatomy where Lexie and the other interns are doing central lines on each other? That is scarily accurate.

From what I remember the military career has been in every sims base game since the TS1 (although I had TS1 Complete Collection so I don't know what stuff came from what EP, so I could be wrong on that one). I like how in TS1 when you reached a high enough level a tank just rolled down your street as your carpool in the morning, lol. And I think in TS2 it was the military career that had the helicopter pick up when you reached the top?

I really miss the military career and the obstacle course that came with the career award with it in Sims 2. Not really a fan of the careers that came with this game overall. I remember them patching in business and a athletic career early on because the base game careers were so bad to bad it has not improved much since then they are still adding over the top careers.

They have added detective, doctor, scientist, politician which are considered "basic" careers I think. Only two of the 8 careers added since launch could be considered over the top, even if social media and public relationships are such an essential part of any business nowadays than I'm not even sure it would fit into the "over the top" category.
