Krista Presented by EA Game Changers
The Sims 4 Island Living sees one full and three part-time careers added to the game with the Conversationist career taking the place as a full-time career.
As with any career, your Sim can become a Conservationist simply by sitting down at a laptop/computer, using their cell phone or by the job tab on the user interface.
Once you have joined the career you will be greeted with a pop up asking you if you wish to start the first Work From Home Assignment. You can either start it right away or hold off and do it at a time that suits your Sim better. Just make sure it is completed before your next shift.
When it is time for your first shift you will be presented with another small pop up which asks you if you want your Sim to Go To Work, Work from Home or Take Paid Time Off (PTO). The choice is up to you. If you choose to Go To Work or Work From Home you will still be working towards your Sims next promotion. If you choose to Take PTO your Sim can go about their day however they please.
Note: If you are not sure what your Sims work from home assignment is or what you need to do you, can head to the Career panel and there will be a section for Work From Home Assignments. Hover over the required task and it will let you know how to complete it.

Career Traits:
The Conservationist career has the possibility for your Sim to gain one of two reward traits once you hit the maximum level in a career pathway. There is one for each of the two career pathways and it is possible to gain both.
- Natural Speaker (from the Environmental Manager pathway) – Sims that are Natural Speakers have been empowered by nature with instinctive charisma. Being friendly is second nature. These Sims find it easy to Enthuse and Spread Awareness of their cause to other Sims and find that their grant applications tend to get accepted.
- Master of the Sea (from the Marine Biologist pathway) – A Master of the Seas becomes friends with dolphins and mermaids faster, and can maneuver around the ocean much more easily.
The Conservationist career is the perfect career for your Sims if they love being outside and enjoy Island life. It is full of detail and will get you exploring all over the different Islands and the ocean surrounding Sulani.
Let us know what you think of the new Conservationist career that comes with The Sims 4 Island Living expansion pack below in the comments.
A typo “Shoot Nature Documentart.
New Marine Biologist clothes.” ? Should it be documentary?
I received my daily task and in the first set (wildlife enthusiast) I have to survey wildlife, how do I do that
If you’re surveying Ocean Wildlife, you can click on a buoy and do it that way (unless you’re playing as a mer-sim, as it counts as snorkelling, for some reason).
Do you know if there are ways to do it as a mer-sim?
Thank you for this article it’s really informative!
I discovered yesterday while playing my mermaid sim who has a career as a marine biologist that she can’t complete the daily tasks because mermaids apparently don’t snorkel! I know it’s quite easy to become a human again but I wanna be a mermaid AND a marine biologist!!
I am having the same problem with my human sim. I can’t move anywhere with my job. Until I can snorkel. It starts with snorkeling and ends just surveying.
Good article! But does anyone know what mood/emotion is the best one to go to work with this job? I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!
How do i write a conservation article? I went to the library and clicked on the pc but there doesn’t seem to be an option, only the usual research option.
I have the same problem and i cant find a solution anywhere really annoying
I had the same problem but once u get to a certain level your able to i think its a bug
my phone will not allow me to “consult on global policy” — does anyone know how to fix this?
what does it mean by shoot nature doc? I bought a camera, how do you do it?
Where is Mua Pel’am in the map??
