The Sims 3 World Adventures Guide › Essentials › Careers

Business

The Business career unfolds exactly as you might expect. Sims dutifully report to work in the morning to attend meetings and climb the corporate ladder.

As you approach the top of the career ranking, the requirements to reach each new promotion become harder to juggle.

But that should be expected for a career with such incredible financial rewards. You cannot coast. You must work hard, appealing to both the boss and co-workers so that one day that corner office is yours.

Benefits and Rewards

To work your way up this career, you must have a good relationship with the boss. This can be achieved by the Suck Up to Boss tone, but this risks alienating co-workers.

This turns into a problem later in the career when your relationship with co-workers becomes a metric by which your promotion is judged.

Being charismatic can help with this career because after meeting co-workers on the job, you can then improve those relationships outside working hours.

Tip

The Business career is the easiest to master because it requires the fewest skills.

Once you reach the Division Manager promotion, you can start holding meetings and meeting opportunities come regularly.

Making these meetings becomes a critical metric for making additional promotions. Here, the career starts to consume a lot of time and attention.

One of the key benefits of this career comes at the top promotion to Power Broker. Now, you have complete control over working hours by choosing to hold meetings at your whim.

You are paid for these meetings, too, so you have control over how much money is made during that specific day. A day full of meetings is very lucrative.

This flexibility allows the Power Broker to pursue different skills or attend to a household without worrying about a heavy work schedule.
