City Living includes three new careers:  Politician, Critic, and Social Media.  It also brings some new functionality to all three careers, although existing careers are unchanged. Common features: All three careers have an optional initial “Work From Home” assignment that is given before your Sim’s first day.  They seem to be logical assignments to set your Sim up for success; the Social Media assignment is to create a social media profile, for example.  These initial work from home assigments are very much worth taking, as they not only are something your Sim would likely have to do anyway, but they get a little income for doing so.  If you’re just starting out in the big city, those extra 40-60 simoleons might make the difference in whether your sim pays their rent on time!   Once they’re in a career, an hour before your sim is scheduled to work they get an alarm.   They can go to work, work from home, or take a vacation day.  If they go to work then they head off lot to work.  You cannot accompany your Sims to work in any of the new City Living careers.  If you choose to have them work at home they will be assigned some tasks that relate to their career.  My political sim had to paint a political mural, for example.  For each task they complete they are paid part of their salary.  So they can spend the day slacking off, but they won’t make any money for it, and they won’t gain or lose work performance. Now let’s look at the careers.  We’ll start with politcs. Political: To be honest, I’ve never really cared for the Political Career in The Sims 2 and 3.  I felt like I spent all my time getting my Sim to make and keep friends.  I well remember those “Have 20 friends” requirements and the many Sim-hours spent on the phone to acquire and maintain same.  The Sims 4 handles things a little differently, though.  You don’t actually have to make friends with other Sims – but you do have to talk them into supporting you. An aspiring politician starts as an Unruly Activist, and your budding activist needs a cause.  There are several to choose from: Foundation for Less Mischief World United No Sim Left Behind Simoleons for Everyone...
