The Sims has never had religion. It would be such a minefield. You would have to include every single one of them.

sims doesnt have real political propaganda why would it have real religious rhetoric? its sims they speak in a weird language, have vampires witches, and a grim reaper why not have some sort of weird sims religion? No need to over thing things its just a game.
Teacher,Journalism,Tv and radio,Bookseller,and local goverment.
This sounds a little wild (but hey it’s Sims). You could have a super-hero career and go about saving the town.
To be honest why not make something like the Criminal career Or an Interstellar Smuggler or Space Ranger part of the Astronaut career an active career?
I would like a nanny career, teacher career, or social worker career!
Why not expand the base game careers too, to make them similar to the ones that came with City Living, like adding to the entertainment career plays on community lots, or the astronauts could have missions on sixam, and the programmers could go to the geekcom…

Incorporating the festivals into careers would be great, could switch up daily tasks when the appropriate festivals are active (f.ex culinary career daily task could be to enter an eating contest or whatever the food festivals activity is)
im naughty, Id like a prostitution career where sim goes around public venues woohooing for money.

theres a prostitution mod that legit has what u want https://simdreaming.tumblr.com/post/163219387103/sims-4-prostitution-mod-update
Architecture/Construction would be cool as an active career; could start off with jobs to do up rooms, maybe build expansions, move up to small houses and eventually get a manor or something. These assignments could be “active” and get one or two per promotion (depending how hard it is to get promoted) with the rest of the work days being rabbit hole days.
Lawyer could be another good one, would have to research case and write arguments, build charisma (if it’s too low the chances of successfully defending your client decrease), have a small court room with a chance of “high profile case” once you reach level 10.
the modeling career would be nice, and also making all the base game career like that of Get To Work expansion.
I would love to see a barista career as an active career! I have a Starbucks lot and I would love to have my sim go there to work and fulfill customers orders.
Absolutely agree! Normal life stuff!
Law! There’s great potential for storytelling, there’s a journey from being a simple paralegal alle the way to working as a judge, and it matches skills that are already in the game; Logic, Charisma. You could use elements from the police interviewing from GTW, too. Plus it wouldn’t require a lot of added CC as most functions in law just require formal business wear. Totally agree with plasticblueguns.
Performer e.g musical theatre, acting, singing etc…
An exorsist would be something to add since we have supernatural stuff with city life
I would love an interior decorator career!
I miss the stylist/interior design career most!!!!
Interior Designer :DDD
Hello everyone Just wanted to ask any sims mod creators if they would know how to do a sims 3 functional washer and dryer conversion to the sims4. I tried to explore this myself on youtube which turned out to be a fail. so I thought let me reach out to mod creators who are more experinced and know what their doing. This will be truly appreciated if some one figure this out. Thank You and Happy Holidays!!!
Phantom thief (day – write a letter to someone / night – go to someone’s house and steal something)
I would love to see the legal profession added to the game. It never made sense to me that sims had the police force and politicans but not lawyers. Every functioning society needs lawyers/the courts.
I would like to be a vet or a botanical researcher. It could be fun to be able to grow new exiting plants. Something interactive like the cow plant. 🙂
Therapist, model, social worker, nanny, personal trainer, and bring back the paranormal/psychic career
How about a Psychology-Career? Lots of possibilities – starting with Study Participant (with loads of negative Emotions resulting), Survey Interviewer (resulting in lots of social contacts), Researcher, Student Tutor… Then you could have two seperate options like Clinical Psychologist (Group Therapist, Childrens Therapist, Forensic Profiler, Forensic Therapist ) and Work Psychologist (Communication Trainer, Personal Psychologist, Consultant, Trainer for Politicians…whatever)
priest, teacher
Vampire hunter or slayer 😀
Profession fashion model go to work,
nanny go home ,
Repair worker go home,
designer, stylist
make-up artist, cosmetologist,
pet salon would be cool, or a hair salon, kindergarden,teacher, work at a pet shelter or on a elder senter…
Can we have personal Stylist back from Sims 3 please ??
stylist career!!
Lawyer and Vigilante Please!
XCOM Career dood idea
haw about XCOM career ?
Psychology/Psychiatry career in my opinion would be an excellent (and very realistic/close to simulating real life) career option for our Sims. They could start out as say, just psychology students like I did as an undergrad (when I took the basic college psych courses such as Psych (Psychology) 101). Then as they advance further in their career path they could choose between specializing in either psychology or psychiatry (with psychiatry obviously earning them more money because they’d be not only a therapist to their Sim patients, they would be a medical doctor that is prescribing psychiatric medications to their patients as well. It’d go really well with a lot of psychiatric trais such as; ADHD trait, Dissociative Identity Disorder (aka Multiple Personality Disorder) Trait, Autism Spectrum Disorder Trait, PTSD Trait, etc (those are just some examples I found from Modthesims).
Active stylist and also house designer, (interior and exterior).
I’m not to sure if this fits into the work category 100% but I think it would be grate to have a little portable cart that you can take places and sell things out of at random places like at the beach or say even on your home lot out front of your house like a lemonade stand I’m on ps4 so I have no idea if there are mods that already have this
