Sims 4 Business Career Guide: Move Over, Bezos!

• Sims 4 Business Career Guide: Move Over, Bezos! - August 11, 2022

Let’s be honest: almost every one of us does not want to do house chores or work eight hours a day – but we don’t want mommy to get angry or to starve, do we? That is why it is all the more ironic that I spend most of my free time watching my Sims do house chores and work eight hours a day. No hate here; The Sims is one of my favorite games.

There are two types of Sims players; the first type just wants to make their Sims live the good life with mansions and glamour. The second one just watches their Sims’ life burn – literally. Or drown, or be crushed, etc.

For those who play the game to make their Sims successful, Sims 4 gives you 23 careers your Sims can choose from – though some are only available in DLCs and expansions. One of these is the Business Career. Watch your Sim successfully climb the corporate ladder and become a top dog – while you cry behind the screen because capitalism is a failure.

Fear not for sadistic players! Do you want to be powerful and successful and let everyone know it? Do you want to roleplay as the douchebag corporate that exploits the working class for your gain? If you wish to become Jeffrey Bezos, then the business career is the right track for every greedy, selfish and ambitious Sims.

Bottom Line Up Front

The Business Career is one of the 23 careers your sims could choose from in Sims 4. If you want your sims to be filthy rich, this career track gives sims opportunities to randomly earn extra money. After level 6, corporate sims can choose two branches; Managerial and Investor.

Like the other careers in the game, sims need to level up skills to get promoted. In the Business Career Track, you need to level up your charisma and logic skills if you want your sims to climb the corporate ladder.

There are also some traits and moods that could make your Sim’s climb to success much faster. Skills, emotions, and traits are influenced by how you design your Sim’s house and furnishing. Before starting the game, plan how to build your home to maximize the benefits.

Tips Before Starting the Career Path in Sims 4:

1. choose the right traits in sims 4.

Each Sim is unique because of the combination of traits that affect all aspects of their lives. The sim traits made them more likely to have certain moods, prefer certain lifestyles, and interact with certain sims.

It’s not surprising that their traits affect their career performance. Some traits encourage sims to get themselves promoted quickly, while others could hamper it. Hence, you need to be careful in choosing your sims’ traits if you want them to have a shot at a business career.

Good Traits for Business Career Path:

• Genius – It’s probably one of the most important traits to possess if you want your sims to be successful in the Business Career Path. The trait randomly makes the Sims ‘focused,’ which is the ideal emotion for higher-level Business Career Jobs. Sims with Genius Trait would also have random ‘eureka moments’ during showers, improving a random skill the Sim already has.
• Ambitious – Like in real life, you need to possess ruthless ambitions to become the top dog. Ambitious sims perform well in their jobs, allowing them to be promoted much faster. They would also gain great moodlets for simply having a job, making it much easier for your sims to be happy.
• Connections – This trait is overpowered but expensive to gain. The Connection Trait allows the sims to start their careers in Level 4 (Regional Manager). However, you must be diligent in earning satisfaction points by fulfilling life aspirations and whims. Depending on your playthrough, it might take you generations before you can earn 2000 points.
• Entrepreneurial – This trait is just as expensive as the Connection Trait, costing around 2000 satisfaction points. Sims with Entrepreneurial traits are more likely to be promoted. Personally, I prefer this trait over connections because it benefits the Sim throughout their career. Connections, on the other hand, are merely a one-off note.

Bad Traits for Business Career Path:

• Lazy – Predictably like in real life, sims with Lazy traits are less likely to be energized, which is the ideal mood in the lower levels of the business career. This would tremendously affect the sims’ career performance badly. The lazy trait also conflicts with the Ambitious Trait.
• Socially Awkward – Socially Awkward would make it much harder to level up Charisma due to their general interactions being affected by the trait. You need Charisma to have a promotion in the business career along with logic.
• Loner – similar to Socially Awkward traits. Sims with Loner traits will receive negative moodlets when interacting with people. This trait would limit Sim’s ways to level up Charisma, which is needed to be promoted.

2. Skills needed for a Business Career

In real life, to become a successful businessman, you need to be good at strategizing and talking to people. That is why in Sims 4, two skills are required to be promoted; Logic and Charisma.

Logic is one of the classic skills that sims can learn. It is an excellent skill because many careers require it – one of them is the business career. One of the simplest ways to level up logic is to play a game of chess — multiple times a day.

Another way to increase logic is to buy logic books vol.1 – vol.3, especially if your sims have bookworm traits. Observatories and microscopes would also improve it.

Also, buy furnishing that encourages sims to be ‘focused.’ Sims will learn logic skills much faster if they are ‘focused.’

Charisma is one of the classic skills that sims need to learn to climb the corporate ladder. It is a reasonably straightforward skill to learn. All your Sim needs to do is to buy a mirror and practice talking multiple times.

You can also level up Charisma through talking with other sims and reading charisma books. The convivial lot trait is a useful one to have because it gives you a boost of 50% in developing Charisma, mischief, and comedy.

Business Career in Sims 4

Description: “Synergy! Efficiency! Planfulness! If the mere sound of these industry buzzwords gets you buzzing, then a business career might just be the right fit for you!”

Like the other career paths in Sims 4, the Business Career will have the starter track from levels 1 to 6 before branching off to different directions. After level 6, corporate sims can choose managerial or investor tracking.

So, you created your Sim and plopped them into the Sims World with little to no simoleon because they used all of it to buy a decent house. Now they need a job because we don’t want them to starve to death, right?

But you realize that an eight-hour minimum wage job would not give your Sim a massive mansion filled with $$$ furniture (just like real life). They need a high-paying job. Fast. You look at the career opportunities and notice that maybe the Business Career Path would give them the shot to live in a mansion. Your Sim’s workplace would be at Dewey, Cheatem & Howe Incorporated.

Starter Track in Sims 4 Business Career

Mailroom technician.

Description: “Far from the days when postal correspondence was the lifeblood of a thriving business, today’s mailrooms have been made all but obsolete with the rise of email. Still, somebody’s gotta distribute all the online shopping deliveries! < Sim first name> will have to keep his/her energy level up to get noticed… and elevated from the mailroom! He/she can now Fill Out Reports on the computer and Gossip About Office Romances”.

Your sims will only live for a few months before they wither and die, but still, your sims will not suddenly become successful in one day (just like real-life). They still find themselves at the bottom of the corporate ladder; Mailroom Technician.

Your Sim will work from 9 am until 5 pm from Monday to Friday for a measly §16/Simoleon per hour. Your Sim’s energy will drain, so you need to make them energized as much as possible to be effective at their job.

Save enough money to buy a mirror and a small bookshelf to improve their logic and charisma skills. Use the weekend to develop your sims’ skills instead of weekdays. Doing it on weekdays would leave sims with little time to replenish their energy for their job, which might affect their career performance.

Your Sim will be promoted to Office Assistant once they reach level 2 in Charisma. So, prioritize your Sim’s Charisma but do not neglect logic because it is needed later on.

Office Assistant

Description: “It’s amazing how much assistance an office needs. The more energy <sim first name> has, the more he’ll/she’ll get done. The better his/her social skills, the more recognition he’ll/she’ll receive”.

You are promoted! You manage to gain §130 Simoleon as a bonus. You get new clothes and new interactions. You also manage to gain your very own (stolen) nameplate!

Don’t celebrate just yet because the top of the ladder is still far ahead. Office Assistants still have the same schedule as your previous rank but with a higher pay of §20/hour. So, you need to make sure that your sims will be energized and practice your Sim’s skills during the weekend.

To be promoted to the next level, you need to reach level 2 in both logic and Charisma. If you were diligent in developing your skill, then it will only be a few days before the next promotion will be in sight.

Assistant to the Manager

Description: “It’s not quite the management track, but it’s the next best thing, isn’t it? After all, the manager only has one assistant…”

You are promoted once again! During your promotion, you will receive a bonus of §156 simoleons, a SALES award, and new interaction.

Your job sounds very fancy already but doesn’t get ahead of yourself, take note of the ‘to the’ in your title. Take a look at your measly increase of only §23/hour. The top dog is still far away. Continue on with our strategy of practicing your skills and keep them energized. For the next promotion, Assistant Manager requires your Sim to have level 4 charisma, so you need to prioritize that skill.

Assistant Manager

Description: “This is it… almost. Ok, so <sim first name>’s not a manager yet. Surely, he’s/she’s next in line for the position. It’s time to build those people skills for when he/she has people to boss about, er… manage.”

Congratulations! You are now a true and thorough Manager. Assistant Manager, that is. You can feel that your fortunes are turning in your favor. I mean, just look at that huge leap in your salary from §23/hour to §35/hour!

Now that you are in your own office cozying on your own desk, the ideal emotion for a manager is now confidence. With your salary, try to buy furnishing that would make your sims confident before going to work.

But it is not enough; it was never enough for you and your Sim’s ambitions to be merely an ‘assistant.’ Not even §187 bonus! So, you let your Sim continue practicing in the mirror until your Sim reaches level 4. Your Sim will become Regional Manager in no time.

Regional Manager

Description: “<sim first name>’s the man/woman now! … Or at least the manager of a region of the company. That means he’s/she’s got to keep working on his/her people skills if he/she wants an even bigger slice of the pie.”

Yet another step has been taken. You are now in charge of a certain region already – your very own kingdom to tyrannize manage! You finally tasted some semblance of power, and now you have the saying ‘once tasted, always wanted.’

As the new Regional Manager, you manage to receive §281 simoleons, new clothes, and pie presentations. You also now have a salary of §53/hour – that’s a lot of money already.

Stay confident, and stick with your schedule in developing your skills. Though by this time, you just need to level up your logic by one level so that you will be promoted in a few days.

Senior Manager

Description: “<sim first name> has proved himself/herself as a manager but he’s/she’s got her sights set on the next level. Whether he/she wants to be an executive or a financial whiz, it’s time to put the effort in and make it happen.”

You’re not just a manager; you are THE manager. As a Senior Manager, you will enjoy a bonus worth §527 and the tiny tranquility garden. Your salary is now raised from §53/hour to §75/hour. That’s big money, but you’re halfway there, imagine how much money you can earn the further up you go.

What now? After Senior Manager, your Sim would have to choose two branching paths. The first branch is Managerial, and the other one is Investor. It’s up to you which branch you would take, but here is my take on the pros and cons of each branch:

Managerial Branch in Sims 4 Business Career

Description: “Should everyone be laid off and replaced by robots? Should the company logo be redone to include more llamas? These are the types of critical decisions you would be making should you choose to venture down the path of management.”

The Managerial Branch is one of the two branches of the Business Career. The rewards in the Managerial Branch are items and furnishing that boost the sims’ confidence. The Managerial Branch also puts more emphasis on Charisma than Logic.

‘Make Business Calls’ is an interaction unique to the Managerial Branch. You can find this interaction in your home telephone; making calls would help your career performance – promoting you faster. A successful call will boost your Sim’s confidence, while a failed call embarrasses them.

Do the interaction after working hours because of the chances of a failed call. A failed call will give you an embarrassed moodlet which could badly affect your career performance. Don’t forget to psych up your Sim before going to work to make them confident.

The Managerial Branch is much more stable than the Investor; thus, this branch is much more fitting for Sims, who does not want to risk their hard-earned money.

Investor Branch in Business

Description: “It takes Simoleons to make Simoleons. Optimize your investments through diligent research and try to turn piles of Simoleons into even bigger piles of Simoleons!”

The Investor Branch is another branch you can choose in your Business Career. Many reward items you can receive in the Investor Branch give you ‘focused’ moodlets. Focused is very important if you decide you want your Sim to become an investor because the focus would make logic increase faster. Focused Sims also have a higher chance of a successful investment.

The Investment Branch also offers a unique interaction which is called ‘Researching Stock,’ which gives you a focused moodlet. What makes the investor branch unique is that you can actually invest your money in stocks. Like investing in real life, there is a possibility that the money you invest will grow large or disappear – depending on your luck.

Essentially, the investor branch allows you to earn extra money through investments but with high risk. This path is for players who believe in the saying ‘high risk, high reward.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: what is the fastest way to improve charisma and logic in sims 4.

Answer: The fastest way to improve Charisma is to buy a mirror and practice talking to it. The fastest way to improve logic is to play chess.

Question: How do you get the Business Career in Sims 4?

Answer: The Business Career is part of the Sims 4 base game. Although it was not available during release, it was included in patch nine along with the Athletic career track.

Question: How do you Research Stocks?

Answer: All you need is to buy a PC. Click on the PC, then click on ‘Web.’ You can find ‘Research Stocks’ as one of the options.

If you want to get rich, the Business Career Track is probably one of the best ways to earn money. Its required skills are very simple to level up. It has a high salary, and the opportunity to make money through investments is perfect for a game about life simulation.

For players who like the roleplaying aspect of the game (like me), having a ton of additional options compared to the base game is the best outcome. However, I think that these jobs should have been part of the base game and not as a DLC. Nevertheless, I am happy for what we have.

The Sims 4 Business Career

Rewards for investors and managers.

Sims 4's Business Career offers Management and Investor Branches

The Sims 4 Business Career features both Management and Investor Branches. Both of these may offer you opportunities that could, at random, make your Sim some extra money based on what you select and some random variation. The Career relies heavily on the Charisma and Logic Skills, no matter which branch you take. While it starts with an Ideal Mood of Energized , it shifts to Confident at Regional Manager (level 5) while the Career offers you to select a branch upon reaching level 7. Since Emotional buffs are fairly easy to get, you don't need any special traits to pursue either of these Careers. However, Outgoing and a Popularity Aspiration (to give the Gregarious Bonus Trait ) may be helpful to leveling Charisma and making Friends . While Friends are not necessary, it's just a perk to be able to have your social interactions succeed more often and perhaps level Charisma faster.

The starting Daily Task, Fill out Reports, can be found on the Computer under the Web menu. Filling out Reports may sometimes give your Sim a Bored Moodlet, "Paperwork Drudgery". This is tough, as it takes a few hours to do and you're already gone for the 9-5. Just accept that your Sim has less time in the early levels and will eventually get a better job without the boring paperwork.

Business Career

Management Career

Management Branch Rewards offer Confident Auras

The Management Career Branch features Confident Aura items, which are appropriate for the Career however not very useful for gaining progress in it because they don't work when you're out of the room. They may, however, help with the success rate of Make Business Calls (found on the Phone under Household), which may only be done from 8PM-8AM on Weekdays - meaning your Sim needs to do them after work hours. Making these calls can help you get promoted faster so long as you have the Skill requirements met. Sims who make successful calls may get a Confident or +2 Embarrassed Moodlet depending whether they succeed or fail at the deal. It's more important you complete them than if you bother to make them. I'd do them after work so that there is no chance of going into work totally embarrassed and risking some kind of freak accident emotional death. In order to get Confident before Work, you can simply Psych Self Up using a mirror or make your Sim brush their teeth.

Management Career Branch

Investor Career

Sims 4's Investor Branch offers Focused Items

Investor Benefits The Investor Branch has an Ideal Mood of Focused. It is the one I'd prefer between the two choices here, simply because of the Invest in Stock ability. Researching Stocks is the daily task (done under Computer > Web) and can give a +1 Focused Moodlet when complete. You'll also gain the ability to invest your Sim's money in stock. It seems that if you first use the Research Stocks ability and get the Moodlet you will have better results from investing, although you can still lose money. You can get up to 2.5x your money, or lose big and get only 20% of it back - there's a huge range of possibilities. Sims may invest $1,000, $2,000 or $5,000. In the long run, it seems worth the risk if your Sim has the Simoleons to spare. Investments may be made every 48 hours.

The Investor's Career Reward of items that give Focused Moodlets may aid in Investing, but is sure to help in other computer-related endeavors like Programming and building their Logic Skill should you place a Chess board or other Logic-building item within the same room. The easiest way to get Focused before work is to use a chess board and ponder moves just before the carpool arrives.

Best Skills For Business Career

Business career expands to 2 branches once a player reaches rank 6. Upon reaching level 6, players can choose from “Management” and “Investor” careers. Both careers only require players to level up their Charisma and Logic skills .

Logic Skill

“Logic” skill is handy for these career paths. Players can choose the “Genius” trait in CAS mode to boost logic skills or Sims can choose to play chess for free in neighborhood parks. However, to advance in this skill quickly, investing in a telescope would be worth it if a Sim has some extra cash in hand .

The next skill that players needs to focus on is “Charisma”. Sims need to increase their interactions with fellow Sims in the game to level up charisma skill. Confidence proves to be the secret sauce to get maximum success in interactions. Players can choose the trait “Self-assured” to boost their confidence in The Sims 4 , which will eventually help them to level up “Charisma”.

Business Career Ranks And Branches

A business career consists of 10 ranks, each offering different earnings. Here is a look at the ranks and what earnings players can expect from this career.

Management Branch

Daily tasks in the management branch include making business calls, and the result of these calls will impact the moodlets of the Sims. However, players must remember that promotion in this branch demands more hard work and rewards offered are fewer than the investor branch.

Investor Branch

True to its name, daily tasks in the investor branch include researching stocks. Moreover, players will find relief in working 4 days a week while earning more than the management branch.

The Sims 4 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Among the more traditional careers in The Sims 4 , the Business career offers the closest proximity to a 9-5. Sims climb that corporate ladder in pursuit of one of two career paths – invest your simoleons and play the markets as an Investor, or invest in your people instead as a Manager.

RELATED: Best Ways To Earn Money In Sims 4

Both Business career paths in The Sims 4 offer comfortable salaries and fairly straightforward promotion trajectories, meaning Sims in either track of the Business career will live comfortably in exchange for their long 40-hour weeks. Here’s everything you need to know about the Business career in The Sims 4.

Manage Or Invest: Choose Between Management Or Investor Career Paths

In The Sims 4, the Business career is one of the more lucrative career options in the base game. While you start your career in the mailroom, you'll have the opportunity to sharpen two critical skills and compound on that effort to earn your promotions.

You choose your career path at Level Seven in the Business career. The two paths in The Sims 4 Business career are:

• Investors , who seek to play the Stock Market and use their strength with numbers to earn, invest, and earn some more.
• Management , who work most directly with the people in the company and rely on their people skills.

Unlike plenty of other careers in The Sims 4, the Business career requires Charisma and Logic regardless of which branch you choose.

The only difference is which you'll need to max out, with Investors focused on their Logic skill and Management reliant on their Charisma .

Whichever skill isn't your branch's primary skill will still need to be raised to Level Eight, so you'll be working plenty with both skills.

Helpful Traits And Moods For The Business Career

An interesting split between focus-based traits and interpersonal ones, the Business career in The Sims 4 benefits from a number of different traits.

With both Charisma and Logic required, it's helpful to be both Outgoing and a Genius to help with raising both of these skills. Geniuses pick up Logic faster, while Charisma comes more naturally to the outgoing.

The Sims 4: Business Career Guide

The business career in The Sims 4 is one of the basic careers that is included with the Base Game and is one of the least fun to do (at the beginning, at least!). This career path wasn’t even included in the original release of the base game, but was released in an early patch.

The main benefit of working in the business career in the game is that your sim will never have to work weekends, so it’s great if you’re more of a family player and will have children at home. It’s also nice because you’re on a more consistent work schedule than a lot of other careers that tend to jump around.

When working through the business career before you choose a specific branch, you will have the daily task to fill out reports . This takes a few hours and can be a real pain, but it’s a relatively easy daily task.

Synergy! Efficiency! Planfullness! If the mere sound of these industry buzzwords gets you buzzing, then a career in business might just be the right fit for you!

Aspirations for the Business Career

There is no specific aspiration that will help you with the business career, but there are a few that you could work through during the process. The first is the Fabulously Wealthy Aspiration , this one is good because the business career pays relatively well when you get up high and can be beneficial to this aspiration.

You could also do the Friend to the World aspiration since business focuses strongly on charisma and this aspiration is all about building up your relationships to gain charisma.

Traits for the Business Career

There are no traits that directly benefit you while working in the business career, however, there are a few that can help you get through the career with less struggles. The first would be the genius trait as it helps your sims gain the Logic skill and maintain focus.

The next, could be self-assured , as self-assured sims are often more confident and this can help your sims work performance.

Business Career Levels

There are 6 levels of the business career that you must go through before you’re able to choose a branch and they are as follows:

Management Career Branch

Should everyone be laid off and replaced by robots? Should the company logo be redone to include more llamas? These are the types of critical decisions you would be making should you choose to venture down the path of management.

The daily task of the management branch is to make business calls. There are two possible outcomes of these calls: If your sim’s business calls go well, they will get a confident moodlet that will last a few hours, if the call goes bad, they will get an embarrassed moodlet.

If your sim decides to choose the management career branch of the business career, there will be a strong focus on the Charisma Skill . You’ll need to max out your charisma skill if you wish to complete the entire career branch. You’ll also need to get your logic skill to level 8 if you’re looking to become a business tycoon .

If you get to the top of the management branch of the business career you’ll be able to make § 15,000 each week which is a really awesome salary for your sims 4 family.

Management Branch Benefits

As with all careers in The Sims 4, the management branch of the business career has some cool unlockable objects that are given to you when you get promoted. First, you’ll unlock one clothing item, the senior management suit . You’ll unlock one interaction, to make business calls .

Finally, you’ll unlock four objects. The executron executive desk throne, executron bookshelf, the executive guest chair, and the executron executive desk .

Management Branch Career Levels

Investor Career Branch

It takes Simoleons to make Simoleons. Optimize your investments through diligent research and try to turn piles of Simoleons into even bigger piles of Simoleons!

Your sim will need to do the daily task of researching stocks which can be done on the computer, it is important to note that doing this will take a little bit of time.

The investor branch of the business career focuses most on the Logic Skill and you’ll need to max out the skill in order to get to level 10 and be an Angel Investor. You’ll also need to reach level 8 of the Charisma Skill .

If you get to the top of the investor branch of the business career, you’ll be able to make around § 13,000.

Investor Branch Benefits

When your sim is in the investor career branch you’ll unlock the ability to invest their personal funds into stocks which can earn you a bit of money. However, there is a risk to this and a chance where you’ll lose some of the money, just like real life. Invest carefully!

The rewards that you’ll receive when you’re going through the investor branch of the business career are pretty cool. You’ll unlock one clothing item, the senior management suit . You’ll unlock three interactions, give fake investment tips, research stocks, and invest in stocks .

And finally, you’ll unlock four objects, the executron personal stock ticker, the executron desk pen set, chronos magainze, and the executron executive desk .

The Sims 4 Get To Work: Types of Businesses you can open

The Sims 4 Get To Work was the first expansion pack released for The Sims 4. It came with a number of new features including the first active careers as well as the option to have your own retail store.

When the expansion pack first launched, there were a handful of different types of businesses you could create. However, as we saw more packs released, the variety of different businesses you could create and own grew! We shall be exploring some ideas of retail stores you can create using The Sims 4 Get To Work expansion pack, as well as a number of possibilities using other packs from The Sims 4.

Getting Started

Now that you have purchased your retail store location, there are several different types of businesses you create when you are just starting out with a new Retail Store.

• Clothing Store
• Arts Store – Painting and Sculptures

While the four types of businesses can seem like very broad ideas, you can break these down even further into more specific types of businesses if you wanted to.

For example, a homeware store can cover a multitude of different things. You could make it more specific by tailoring it to a specific room or theme. Here are a few examples of how you could do that.

• Kitchen & Dining
• Bathroom & Laundry
• Living Room & Study
• Garden & Outdoor Spaces
• Kids – Toy Store, Kids Room Furnishings

The same can go for clothing stores as well. You could create one that stocks a number of different clothing options, or one that targets a specific theme instead.

Here are some examples below.

• Hot/Cold Weather
• Sports & Swim
• Mens & Womens Wear

These are just a handful of ideas of businesses you can create by just having The Sims 4 Get To Work. Of course, with the more packs that you own, the more possibilities you have as well.

More Packs, More Ideas

As we know, each pack adds something new to the game and when it comes to ideas for businesses, it is no exception. Here is a list of retail store ideas that you can use alongside other packs that you own.

• Void Critters Store – Kids Room
• Winter Sports Store – Snowy Escape
• Water Sports Store – Island Living
• Beach Essentials – Island Living
• Grocery Store – Cottage Living
• Student Essentials Shop – Discover University
• Pet Store – Cats & Dogs & My First Pet Stuff
• Apartment Essentials – City Living & Tiny Living
• Eco Living – Eco Lifestyle
• Camping Store – Outdoor Retreat
• Magic & Mystery – Realm of Magic, Vampires & Strangerville
• Photography & Art – Moschino
• Plants – Blooming Rooms & Industrial Loft Kits

While the ideas above are more specific to the packs mentioned, you will find that almost all the objects in The Sims 4 can be sold. This means that realistically, you can create almost any kind of business you want.

• Video Games Store
• Music Store
• Collectibles Store
• Craftables Store
• Antiques Store
• Health & Beauty Store

While the ideas mentioned in this post are just some ideas of businesses you can create using The Sims 4 Get To Work’s Retail Store feature, there are still plenty more out there that you can create.

Why not combine The Sims 4 Get To Work with Plopsy from The Sims 4 Nifty Knitting ? Combine the world of physical sales with online sales?

• Not getting many customers when you first open? Why not run a small advertising campaign to promote your business! Simply head over to the cash register and select Purchase Advertising.
• Get to know your customers by getting involved in the conversation. Greet them and talk to them about their shopping preferences, by using the Retail option on the Sims interaction menu.
• Ring your customers up in a timely manner! Nothing worse than losing a sale as your Sim hasn’t made it to them in time.
• Don’t forget your Sims can employ staff to help your business grow over time as well as help you serve customers!
• Spend your Perk Points to unlock more features and interactions for your business!

Don’t own The Sims 4 Get To Work but want to run your own business? Take a look at the Saleabration Retail System by Ravasheen . You can read our full walkthrough of the mod here!

Let us know some of the businesses that you have created with The Sims 4 Get To Work in the comments below!

The sims 4 business career guide, business career.

The Sims 4 Business Career is one of ten careers available in the game. The business career is tough, unrewarding and difficult in the beginning. And with one single exception, the whole career will always have you working 5 days a week, 8 hours a day and never on the weekends. If you face financial hurdles, options like a Bounce Back Loan can provide quick access to funds and help keep your business running smoothly.

The two skills that dominate this career are Logic and Charisma and the promotion requirements are pretty gentle for the base career track. The two skills can be developed at the same time by having your Sim play chess with another and actively talk to them while they play. Leaving home with an energized moodlet in the beginning is best achieved with a brisk shower right before work. The real hassle around your neck for this career is the daily task “Fill Out Reports”. This interaction takes approximately 3 full Sim hours to complete. Your Sim gets no need increases, builds no skill points and has a fairly high chance to finish the action with a ‘bored’ moodlet. Fitting this corporate unpaid overtime into your day is tough, but critical if you want to advance your performance meter.

The Management Branch continues the need for confidence. The promotion requirements now become steeper. Logic and Charisma are still the two stars of the show, but Charisma becomes the focus. Luckily the reward objects provide both powerful environmental and confident aura items, allowing you to easily make a confidence room where you can build up your charisma skill faster. Of the two branches, management makes more money at the top level. It’s daily task “Make Business Calls” is a welcome departure from filling out reports as it only takes 1 Sim hour to perform. It can yield a +2 confident or +2 Embarrassed moodlet depending on if your Sim makes the sale or not. Make Business calls cannot be done on the weekend. Meanwhile, for those who want to portray a sense of professionalism to their potential clients, they can put their trust on items like those business cards .

Suggested Aspirations

Management Branch : Friend to the World, Fabulously Wealthy, Serial Romantic Investor Branch : Chief of Mischief, Nerd Brain, Fabulously Wealthy, Serial Romantic

Suggested Traits

Management Branch : Self-Assured, Outgoing, Snob, Cheerful Investor Branch : Genius, Geek, Snob, Cheerful

The Sims 4 Research and Debate Skill

Gettin' educated and convincing others in discover university.

The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

The Research and Debate Skill is very interesting to me. It's essentially a skill that teaches Sims to learn and to be more persuasive in convincing others. You'll get a bunch of different passive boosts by leveling this skill, a few unique abilities, and can get other Sims to shower, cook meals, or clean up the house - perfect for managing Roommates in The Sims 4 Discover University.

Leveling Research and Debate

There are a few ways to level Research and Debate - the cheapest is perhaps using a mirror to Practice Debate. See, here's the thing - the Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine... It's $12,000. So yeah, most Sims won't afford it without cheating in some money. You can get Podiums on the cheap in buy mode under Miscellaneous Activities and Skills - there is also a double podium setup you can use for debates. Of course, you could just travel to one of the University's students buildings where you can use the Archive free of charge. Just not from the comfort of home.

You can level up Research and Debate using the machine above, or just practice at a mirror! Put on your convincing face.

The ideal mood for Research and Debate is, of course, Focused. You'll gain +20% faster skill XP by being focused, 40% for very focused. Stack on a couple lot trait bonuses, and you'll cram info like a champion.

Research Machine is the New Death

The new death in Discover University is that when contributing knowledge using the Research Machine too much (specifically that high level ability), your Sim will grow exhausted. If you continue to do so beyond that point, they'll give their life to science. It's not a very exciting death but one very much worthy of warning people about.

Research and Debate Skill Unlocks

You get several active and passive abilities by leveling up Research and Debate. These help you complete homework faster, study more effectively, and even finish term papers faster.

• Level 1 - Research & Debate is all about learning information and then utilizing it-whether that be in a debate or through social influence. This skill can be improved and used with the Research Archive Machine to Research varying topics, and the Mirror to Practice Debating
• Level 2 - Your Sim can now finish reading books in less time. They can also Debate a Topic with other Sims at a Podium.
• Level 3 - Your Sim can now complete their homework at an accelerated rate. They can Prepare for Debate at the Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine and Convince other Sims to Bathe or Do a Keg Stand.
• Level 4 - Your Sim can now gain more study progress while studying. They can now research more skills on the Research Archive Machine.
• Level 5 - Your Sim has become more persuasive. They can Convince other Sims to Do his or her homework and cook meals.
• Level 6 - Your Sim can now complete University Presentations and Term Papers in record time. They may also Contribute Knowledge on the Research Archive Machine.
• Level 7 - Your Sim can now use their persuasive powers to Convince other Sims to Clean house. They can also Convince roommates thinking of leaving the house to Stay.
• Level 8 - Your Sim can now Write and Publish Research Papers at a Computer. They will also gain skill faster while reading sklil books.
• Level 9 - Your Sim can now Convince others to Go Streaking. They can also Convince Boss to Give Bonus on the phone.
• Level 10 - Your Sim can now have a Professional Debate with other Sim on a Podium Pair. They can also Give Professional Commentary at a Podium or Podium Pair. These are great ways to earn a few extra Simoleons.

Passive Study and School Work Bonuses

There are several of these unlocked above, so let's discuss just how good they are! It would appear that the level 3 Homework Speed buff is +25%, saving you at least 15-25mins each time your Sim needs to do homework, if not more. This stacks nicely with the Study Spot Lot Trait which can be put on any lot (and also increases skill gains - it's decidedly overpowered).

Study Speed is increased, therefore your Sim will increase their performance in a particular class much faster. This is all hidden to you, but if you miss class or fail to do homework it can be made up this way by spending a few hours studying for said course. You'll make up some of that time when it comes to making Term Papers and Presentations. The latter can be finished 40% faster. Not just the first stage, but all stages. In this way, Research and Debate is one of the best skills for students in Discover University. Who knew a skill around learning could be so useful to someone in Uni?

Convincing Others

"Look this homework's due in 3 hours, and I just don't feel like it. Could you help out a friend?" "Why, of course!" - Convincing others to do things is quite fun, but has a rather long global cooldown. You can't be a pest.

You can only do this every 4 hours (not on a per-Sim basis). You don't need to have met the target Sim in order for it to work, as the Convince To menu is available straight away. Overall, it can be super useful to get other Sims to do your Sim's homework though they won't gain skills. But you have Research and Debate, right, so you can definitely make up for that with a nice skill book.

You can practice debating at podiums, but also have a two-hour+ long debate with other Sims. Winning it gives you a +1 Confident moodlet for 4 hours, which is hardly appropriate given the time sink. Anyway, the main use of the debating wing of this skill is Convince and its use in helping you to rank up in the Debate Guild University Organization mentioned below.

Debate Organization - Britechester Students

The Debate Guild meets weekly, Tuesday from 4PM to 8PM. You can ask a member to join, and will then have a planner in the Organizations menu (Hotkey U, exists with clubs with Get Together).

There is a debate organization in Discover University, but I haven't explored it much just yet. You must be a student of Britechester in order to participate.

Meet someone from the Debate Guild, and you can ask the other Sim to join. Then manage its tasks and schedule on the Organizations panel (chat bubble icon in the bottom right interface). You'll get tasks, and gradually rank up. It's actually worthwhile to pursue this, because I saw there's a very, very expensive reward for reaching the highest rank. Something that's unattainable for a poor student interested in R&D! I won't spoil that for you.

Contributing Knowledge

You can make money with the Research and Debate skill. Probably about $300/hour, assuming you have something of value to contribute!

When your Sim gets higher level, they can use the Research Archive Machine to contribute knowledge on one of several skills, including Research and Debate, Painting, Charisma, Handiness, Logic, and Robotics. Having skill in these in addition to your Research and Debate Skill helps to improve the amounts you make. It takes a couple hours and gives about $600 at max level, maybe a little more.

Convince to Do Homework

While useful for getting another Sim to knock out your homework and freeing up some of your own Sim's time, this ability has a whopping 20 hour cooldown but seems to be per class .

Use the Research Archive to learn about ghosts on campus and, when a member of the Secret Society, learn about that Organization's origins. You can read about their origins in the link below, if you don't mind spoilers.

"Contributing Knowledge" three or so times in a row will make your Sim die of overexertion! I queued up the action a few times and then ended up killing my Sim :(

Yep, it's the new death included in the pack.

hi, anyone experience the skill to convince other to make homework not work well? they take book then put again in inventory, they not refuse. tried without mod. bug or 20 h countdown or other

My research and debate skill is level 10, but I can't seem to make people do what I convince them to do, they keep refusing. Is there some tips for people not to refuse?

This skill just seems really buggy. Try quitting out of your game and deleting the localthumbcache.package file from your TheSims4 folder. And sometimes doing a Game Repair from Origin can really help with glitches etc. However I think this skill is just not expected to work 100% of the time even with the skill maxed, you should be seeing more successes than failures though at Level 10, if your Sim knows the target Sim well.

Well, I don't know if it was taken out or whatever, but there is definitely NO option for my sim to practice debate in the mirror at her home (she's already graduated from University if that makes a difference).

Has anyone managed to earn course credits from participating in the debate guild's functions? The info given says it's possible, but I don't see any evidence of it as yet
