The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle comes with the new Civil Designer career. The Civil Designer career is a work-from-home career with two branches; Green Technician and Civic Planner. Like other work-from-home careers, your Sim will be given the option to go to a rabbithole venue or perform daily work tasks from home about an hour before their work shift starts. Advancing in this career will reward your Sims with influence points to vote on community space projects and neighbourhood action plans, new objects to help them in their career, and even new traits at the highest level.

Refer to the list below for a full breakdown of each promotion level in both branches of the Civil Designer career.

The Physics degree for the Mechanical Engineer career also works for the Civil Designer career. I don’t think they[‘ve updated the degree to show that career, I only noticed after completing the degree and making my sim find a job 🙂

Wait but physics doesn’t even make sense cause the skills you need to get promoted are logic and charisma. So shouldn’t you go for communications or history degree?????

Not sure about the atomized mist, I’m guessing it’s the self-watering feature on the vertical gardens? The Succulent earrings are really cute CAS jewelry items (necklace, earrings) that are little succulent plants.

I heard you can fabricate a bike & other new objects found from dumpster diving, is this true? That there are more secret recipes? (I have the planter, upgrades, couch, desk, light, flower rug, vacuum, food etc.)

I have multiple Sims who are “Master Inventors” at the top of the eco career, I “enthuse about fabrication” every chance I get, they are all level 10 fabrication skill & send off outstanding & perfect design concepts regularly… But I can’t seem to find anymore recipes other than those listed here.

Every Youtuber I’ve watched thinks Tina Tinker knows all & is the person to speak to, but when you play her she’s only level 8 with no extra recipes.

Maybe I’ve found them all & misunderstood some how, but I read somewhere the bikes could be fabricated & would love it to be true. If there’s a way, please tell me. Thank you. 🙂
