Business Career
The Sims 4 Business Career is one of ten careers available in the game. The business career is tough, unrewarding and difficult in the beginning. And with one single exception, the whole career will always have you working 5 days a week, 8 hours a day and never on the weekends. If you face financial hurdles, options like a Bounce Back Loan can provide quick access to funds and help keep your business running smoothly.
The two skills that dominate this career are Logic and Charisma and the promotion requirements are pretty gentle for the base career track. The two skills can be developed at the same time by having your Sim play chess with another and actively talk to them while they play. Leaving home with an energized moodlet in the beginning is best achieved with a brisk shower right before work. The real hassle around your neck for this career is the daily task “Fill Out Reports”. This interaction takes approximately 3 full Sim hours to complete. Your Sim gets no need increases, builds no skill points and has a fairly high chance to finish the action with a ‘bored’ moodlet. Fitting this corporate unpaid overtime into your day is tough, but critical if you want to advance your performance meter.
The Management Branch continues the need for confidence. The promotion requirements now become steeper. Logic and Charisma are still the two stars of the show, but Charisma becomes the focus. Luckily the reward objects provide both powerful environmental and confident aura items, allowing you to easily make a confidence room where you can build up your charisma skill faster. Of the two branches, management makes more money at the top level. It’s daily task “Make Business Calls” is a welcome departure from filling out reports as it only takes 1 Sim hour to perform. It can yield a +2 confident or +2 Embarrassed moodlet depending on if your Sim makes the sale or not. Make Business calls cannot be done on the weekend. Meanwhile, for those who want to portray a sense of professionalism to their potential clients, they can put their trust on items like those business cards.
