In general I prefer money-making methods that leave me free to organize my own day, like photography, gardening, woodworking and videomaking.
Of the poll's options I enjoy detective the most.
Granted, you get tossed all around the sims world, which can be immersion breaking ("You patrol Lani St. Taz today. What do you mean, that's in french polynesia? Off to the airport with you!"). But on the positive side the crimes are never specified, so there are lots of story hooks as to what exactly happened at a crime scene, why the specific sims are there and so on.
Aside from how old this thread is back on page 1 to page 2's first reply. Generally i'd say Culinary, Writing and Business. A Niche favorite would be Gardening.
Rabbit Hole: Culinary - I like to get at least one Sim the Master Chef aspiration
In General: Style Influencer - it pays very well, has flexibility in terms of rabbit-hole or work from home, and it allows me to stage interventions offer makeovers to Sims in fashion distress.
The careers I most often use for my Sims are: Writing, Painting, and Tech Guru. If the Freelancer one wasn't as buggy, I'd use it too, but it's unplayable for me at the moment. I've got a few CC careers and I like playing with them as well. Well, as long as my Sims have got some sort of income, it's all good.
I picked Scientist because it's my all-time favorite career for my Sims in the game. But, the majority of my Sims don't have 'formal' careers. They live off the land by gardening, fishing, gathering collectibles, etc. Or they'll paint, craft on the woodworking table, busk with a guitar, steal stuff or hold yard sales, etc. I had one Sim who earned her living by only selling photographs she'd taken and hacking accounts.
If they do have a career other than Scientist, it's usually; Painter Extraordinaire, Tech Guru, Culinary, Entertainer, Writer or Astronaut, sometimes the Conservationist career if they live in Sulani. I've had Sims with a few of the other jobs too, but those are my go to staples.
Gotta say gardening is my favorite, lets you do nothing for most of the day while cash just flows in. Plus few jobs get to say their creation tried to eat someone.....or actually did eat someone.
Anyways I seen the scientist career and it looks fun, but I can't really say its my favorite when I haven't been able to try it, the freeze ray and cloning machine seem fantastic.
depends on the sim. the careers are in different categories that i made in my mind
the fun, interesting ones: freelancing anything, criminal, secret agent, astronaut, entertainer, social media, painter, writer, critic, politician, style influencer
the "default/basic" careers (ones i put my sims into if they don't have anything about them that would make them enter any of the aforementioned careers): business, tech guru, culinary
ones i don't care for and rarely use: athlete
when gravity falls and the earth becomes sky, fear the beast with just one eye
don't really have one favorite, I like alot for different reasons...I'll always love painter and the freelancer artist career I guess, cause I love drawing myself and I tend to favor creative things so anything with writing, painting, music in it (the official carrers or the ones I made up).
But I also really enjoy the scientist career and acting.
There are still many careers I haven't tried out yet, business really bores me though and I have tried to get a sim into politics like 3 times now and could never follow through eventhough I like the protesting part.
Currently, Actor. It's a lot of fun. I'm sure once I have experienced all the shoots available, it will lose its luster because a second go-round would be exactly like the first. But for now, it's enjoyable.

I love custom jobs that are out there there isn't one I love more than another but they make careers more interesting when I give them jobs based on their aspirations and traits.
Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]
Thanks to GF and the Road to Fame mod I've got my singer Sim back! As for the other careers, I'm slowly trying to give each one a try. Playing the same careers over and over ad nauseum is downright boring. I've even given Erik Cantrell's father a different career. You can only restart a family so many times without changing up a few things as you go. Joseph was always in Business. Since Sims 4, he's also been a Critic, a Writer and for a very short time, he freelanced.

My Sims usually garden as well. If not, painting and cook are my go to careers.

I also enjoy the ones I can do both from home or go into work with however I feel - like the freelance ones, writers, painters, and even military.
