Careers

How to get the most out of your sims when sending them to work? I've wondered about that. Some of the employment hours are very attractive to send a sim away for a few hours without needing attention and earning a nice bit of money and XP in the long term.
(Last update February 2015).


"Pick any job you like!"

Update: the starting times have been removed and incomes have been increased. You can send your Sims to work/school whenever you want, once a day.
Amounts have been last checked with the Mall/Fashion update (February 2015).

Information about Schools can be found here: http://sfptips.perturbee.net/p/school.html

Tip: the icon next to your sim's job indicates what they can use from "Promotions 'R US" to level up. Increasing experience takes 3 hours each time.
Level 1: 50%
Level 2: 40%
Level 3: 25%
Level 4: 20%

If you change jobs, your Sim can go back to their previous job and they'll lose only 1 level.
