The Sims 3 Ambitions Guide Walkthrough Traditional Careers

Part-Time Work

In addition to these full-time careers, Sims can pick up part-time jobs at the supermarket, cemetery, bookstore, or day spa. These jobs are for just four hours a day, four days a week.

These jobs are designed not to interfere with life too much. For example, a teen might take a job at the supermarket that starts after school at 4 PM and lasts until 8 PM. Or an adult could grab a late-night 6 PM to 10 PM gig helping bury bodies at the cemetery.

Part-time jobs include tones, just like the full-time jobs. However, because relationships and skills don't determine job performance, the tones are limited to: Business As Usual (average amount of work), Work Hard (put in extra effort), and Take It Easy (minimal effort).

Each part-time job has only three career levels with minimal raises between each promotion. To get ahead at a part-time job, just show up with a good mood and put in a decent day's labor.

Part-time jobs can be quit at the location of employment. All promotions and raises are lost at the moment the Sim quits. The only way to get them back is to start the part-time career over again.
