Skill career

Skill careers are a radically new kind of career that will be introduced in The Sims 3: Ambitions expansion pack.

"We’ve implemented something we call “Skill Careers” so that players who have Sims who are fishermen, inventors, writers, and more can now register as self-employed at City Hall. We’ve added the consignment store venue in town so that players who create things like paintings or find things like jewels can earn a profit and take advantage of their Sims’ entrepreneurial spirits." Not much is known about skill careers at the moment, for example it is not yet known if they will have levels and promotions like traditional careers. It is likely that only skills that produce items - Painting, Sculpting, Photography, Fishing, Gardening, Inventing, etc - will be able to be used in skill careers.

"'When your sims have knowledge of several of our existing skills, including sculpting and inventing from Ambitions, they can register as being 'self-employed.'"
