There isn't really one track that's better than the others, but starting pay may be a huge factor. Each level is more demanding than the last, but provides more money. The goal, in theory, is to start from level 1 and earn your way up the corporate food chain until you get to level 10. There are 10 career tracks in The Sims 2, and each has 10 levels of actual jobs. All Sims have to take carpools to work.īut we might be getting ahead of ourselves here. No single job is on a swing shift (that is, Sims have regular hours). Promotions are based on gaining job skills, good moods, and many friends. Most jobs have five days on the job per week, and two days off. Jobs have many things in common at their core. Again, while the newspaper only lists level 1 jobs, computers list them by the asking Sim's skill levels. Computers usually have four or five jobs available. That means you won't have to start at the bottom of the corporate food chain if you've already got the skills to be past it.Įvery paper will have three jobs available, and can be looked at a couple times before one is decided on. If you use one, you'll find jobs based on your skill points (explained in a moment).

She needs to do what the Silhouettes preached about years ago: time to Get A Job. However, those 234 Simoleons in her bank account are not going to last long. As you can see from the screenshot, Kelly's got get the National Compound running, and she's already met a few people from the neighborhood.
