Career Services

Added 2023-11-11 01:21:58 +0000 UTC

This is a mod that your Sim's can take to help them determine their next career move or their first, fill gaps in their training for jobs they're interested in or currently in, and adds a system of unemployment for fired or laid off Sims.

Four new options exist under Career menu on the computer:

Temp Gigz Agency
Your Sim must sign up with the Temp Gigz Agency which will unlock the gigs menu. Each day the menu will present your Sim with three-seven different tasks to choose from to complete in between jobs for money, ranging from 90 minutes to 8 hours and from pay from $50 to $500. What's available can vary daily and depends on your sim's skill set though many tasks require no specific skills. Sims can choose to complete all three if they have time, but won't be able to do more than 3 a day.
Start/Continue Job Training Course
This course will boost randomized common job skills like charisma if they're out of a job or skills needed for their current or new job if employed. The course can be taken more than once.
File Unemployment Benefits Claim (only available after being laid off or fired).
The daily amount is determined by the age of your sim and their previous career. Benefits only lasts for 7 days so Sims cannot live off of unemployment forever and must eventually find other sources of income. If a Sim gets a job before the 7 days are up, Benefits are immediately stopped upon hire.
Take Career Aptitude Test
This test will give Sims a recommendation for a career based on their previous jobs, traits, and skills. Career recommendations cover all Expansions.

Sims who have recently graduated High School and are not enrolled in University, Sims who have recently graduated from University and are not employed, high school students during Career Day, and Sims who have been fired or laid off will get a notification upon each respective event that the Career Services is available to help suggest a first or new career path.
