Film Career

When you were working your magic in Create a Sim, you knew one thing: Your Sim was born to light up the silver screen. So, enroll them in the all-new Film career.

Fame and fortune, though, only come to those willing to put in the hours at the bottom of the ladder. Nobody struts directly into the spotlight.

Start out as an extra, working your way up through the assistant positions before finally getting a chance to show the world what your Sim is made of.

Work Location: Movie Set

How Hired: Report to movie studio, answer newspaper or computer ad, complete a special celebrity opportunity

Work Week: The bottom half of the Film career ladder is a five-day-a-week gig with average working hours.

However, when the career splits, the number of works days decreases. The Directing branch eventually works fewer days than the Acting branch.

Salary Progression: The Film career pays a decent wage at the beginning, but once you enter the specialty phase of the career—when you must make a choice about which branch to pursue—pay increases.

The Directing branch pays a little more than the Acting branch, but both branches still pad your pocketbook with serious Simoleons.
