Throughout this career, your Sim will supervise getaways, summer camps, and even Meleci National Park itself! Unlike other careers in The Sims 4, your Sims won’t be working regular shifts. Instead, they will spend Monday to Thursday building their skills and exploring new hobbies, and from Friday to Sunday, they will be away at their job. Don’t worry, however, while they’re at work, their needs will be managed so they won’t come home exhausted, stinking, and hungry. Let’s take a look at what it takes to climb the ranks of the Park Worker career!

What You Need To Know About The Park Worker Career
The Park Worker career in The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits is ideal for Sims who love connecting with nature and giving back to the community. The career initially starts with 7 levels, beginning as a Cabin Cleaner, all the way up to an Event Coordinator. At the point of next promotion, you can choose either the ‘Park Counselor’ or ‘Park Ranger’ branch, each consisting of 3 levels. As previously mentioned, Sims in the Park Worker career will spend most of their week at home with plenty of time on their hands for pursuing new hobbies in Gibbi Point, or levelling up their skills in pursuit of the next promotion. Sims will go to work at 4 pm on Fridays and return home at midday on Sunday. Also, unlike previous careers, Sims aren’t paid by the hour. Instead, they are paid per shift, meaning there is a flat rate for the entire weekend worked.
Park Worker Career Levels
Promotions in the Park Worker Career will see Sims building their Handiness, Logic, Charisma, Fitness, and outdoor activity skills. These outdoor activity skills could include activities such as Archery, Kayaking, Gardening, Fitness and more!
Park Worker: Levels 1 – 5
| Level | Description | Wage | Day/Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Cabin Cleaner | Every great outdoor career starts with a little elbow grease! For (Sim Name), that means cleaning cabins, unclogging the toilet occasionally, dodging spiders, and pretending not to smell whatever that is. | §440/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 2. Event Helper | (Sim Name) may not be calling the shots just yet, but they are definitely picking up some useful tricks. Since helping with camp events, they have learned how to unfold a chair without pinching their fingers, how to stop a tug-of-war before it turns into a full-on mud fight, and identifying which lanterns are decorative but mildly explosive. | §704/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 3. Cabin Leader | Bunk beds? Checked. Missing socks? Located. Bear-proofing the trash bins? Sealed. (Sim Name) is now a Cabin Leader, and it’s everything they imagined. With campers looking up to them (sometimes literally, from the bottom bunk), (Sim Name) is the glue holding cabin life together! | §1408/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 4. Activity Instructor | (Sim Name) came here to lead archery, obstacle courses, and trust exercises under the open sky. Instead, they spend most of the day chasing runaway kayaks, dodging foam arrows, and reminding everyone for the fifth time that snack time is not a competitive sport. Still, if controlled mayhem counts as a team-building activity, (Sim Name) is absolutely crushing it. | §1936/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 5. Group Counselor | Group counseling sounds simple enough: guide the conversation, build trust, and help others open up. But not when there are clashing personalities, shifting alliances, and at least one Sim crying in the bathroom at any given moment. No pressure. It’s all fun and games until llama issues enter the chat. | §2420/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 6. Wilderness Safety Instructor | (Sim Name) feels a strong sense of duty keeping fellow Sims safe from nature’s less cuddly side. After all, someone has to stand between them and bears, poisonous plants, or whatever’s doing the howling after midnight. That same sense of duty is what keeps them calm when yet another overconfident hiker decides flip-flops are acceptable trail gear. It’s a noble role, really. Nature has its challenges…but Sims? They’re downright feral. | §4828/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 6. Event Coordinator | Camp events don’t run themselves but with (Sim Name) in charge, they almost look like they do. Between last-minute activity swaps and campers who never stay in line, they keep it all together with calm, charm, and a dangerously detailed clipboard. | §6052/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
Park Counselor Branch
While some manage the nature side of camp, Park Counselors manage the campers. Whether calming down a homesick Sim or leading activity classes for restless kids, this branch will ensure (Sim Name) becomes the one campers look up to!
| Level | Description | Wage | Day/Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7. Assistant Counselor | (Sim name) is stepping into a support role, helping lead group activities, manage camper dynamics, and keep the good vibes going. It’s not full responsibility yet, but it’s a clear step toward becoming a trusted leader at camp. | §8976/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 8. Camp Counselor | Forget just passing out glue sticks, (Sim Name) now leads with purpose. From meaningful campfire conversations to guiding group activities that bring Sims closer together, they have grown to become the emotional compass of the campground! | §10,472/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 9. Head Counselor | (Sim Name) has reached peak camp stardom! Campers quote them, counselors take notes, and even the most chaotic Sims seem to respect the authority. Rumor has it parents and corporate sponsors race to secure a spot on the waitlist months in advance. And honestly? Who could blame them? | §12,240/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
Park Ranger Branch
Does (Sim Name) keep it cool when things get wild and keep a wrench in their back pocket just in case? Then Park Ranger might be the perfect fit. With practical know-how, steady focus, and a deep respect for the woods, (Sim Name) is ready to take the lead when nature calls.
| Level | Description | Wage | Day/Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7. Assistant Park Ranger | (Sim name) is officially on patrol. Whether it’s clearing fallen branches, checking trail signs, or gently explaining to a tourist why wild animals don’t make great pets, they are keeping things in harmony. The uniform may still be a little stiff, but the ranger instincts are kicking in fast. | §7208/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 8. Ranger Survivalist | (Sim Name) doesn’t even flinch. Armed with wilderness know-how and a sharpened skillset, they are now the park’s go-to problem-solver when things get wild, literally. The work is tough, but those quiet moments under a sky full of stars, with the forest hushed and still, feel like nature belongs to them alone. | §9180/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |
| 9. Chief Ranger | (Sim Name) is the final word on trail safety, wildlife weirdness, and which berries are snack-worthy or mildly cursed. They have finally made it to the top of Miceli Park and do it all with steady hands, a legendary field log, and boots that never seem to get muddy. Chief Ranger isn’t just a title, it’s a legend, and the whole park knows it. | §11,220/shift | 4:00pm Fri – 12:00pm Sun |

Daily Tasks And Promotions
Just like every career in The Sims 4, the Park Worker Career gives your Sim a set of Promotion Tasks and Daily Tasks. Despite being called a “Daily Task”, it isn’t actually daily in this career as your Sims are only working at the weekends. This career will mostly focus on Handiness, Logic, Charsima, Fitness, and a variety of skills that are built doing outdoor activities. As your Sim has Monday to Thursday free, there is plenty of time to increase these skills.
Living in Gibbi Point has its benefits. You have access to large open water spaces to practice the kayaking skills, an abundance of archery targets dotted around the world, and the wild woods to hunt for butterflies. Gibbi Point also has several festivals that your Sim can check out during the week that focus on a number of activities, such as fitness events and archery competitions.
Choosing your Sim as a Camp Counselor or Camp Director at Camp Gibbi Gibbi can add some immersion to this career, as well as an opportunity to both improve your Sim’s skills and mentor those who may need some help.
Sims in the Park Worker career also have the opportunity to ‘Research Sim Nature’ and ‘Study Park Lore’, allowing them to learn more about the national park and the locals of Gibbi Point.

just to add a comment… when your sim studies “Park Lore” they must find all Park Lore before moving on there are 5 different lores they need to find! My Sim is doing this now!

The numbers on the career levels are wonky – 6 is repeated, resulting in the last three levels being incorrectly numbered 7, 8, and 9.
How do I “research sim nature”?
has anyone else had any issues with completing the park lore section to reach the top level of the career?
