First, note that car pools have been completely removed from the game. It's important for veterans of the franchise to understand that going to work is slightly different from previous iterations.

For Christine, her shift starts at 7am, so when that time rolls around, she'll immediately start to leave the house. The work days are unchanging, as are the hours, and can be viewed anytime on the Career Panel. She may have dreams of being Black Widow, but she's starting off as an Agency Clerk who makes a measly §17/hr. Unfortunately for her, all Sims start off at Level 1. For Christine, her The Curator aspiration doesn't lend itself to any of the career tracks, so she elects to take the Secret Agent track. All Sims can choose any job without restriction, though if you're role-playing, you'll want to choose something that matches the Sim's Aspiration. Christine doesn't have a computer yet, so while watching TV, she interacts with her phone and chooses “Find a Job.” Alternatively, as shown in the top screenshot, she can click the large “Find a Job” button from the Career Panel.Īfter she selects this, the action pauses and a large pop-up box appears that lists all the available Careers in the game. Newspapers are a thing of the past, and all Sims come automatically equipped with smartphones that can access the Internet.

You'll have about a week before the first ones arrive. You'll definitely want to keep several hundred in your bank at all times, just in case they come at an inopportune time. However, they cost a lot more, and you have a much shorter window in which to pay them. Speaking of bills, they come a lot less frequently than they used to in previous iterations of the series.
