Astronaut
Two Astronauts at work.
- For Astronaut, the top level of the Military career track in The Sims 3, see Military.
The Astronaut career is one of the career tracks from The Sims 4 base game. After being promoted from level seven, Sims will be able to choose one of the two career paths: Space Ranger or Interstellar Smuggler.
If you want to consider this career and be successful, you must be willing to focus on your Logic and Fitness skills, and be prepared to leave for work everyday Focused, after level 4, the Energized mood replaces the focused mood, but whichever career branch you take after level 8, your going to also need your Rocket Science skill.
Keep in mind that, although the Astronaut career is primarily a day shift job, there may be occasional overtime work ranging from 1-2 hours, depending on your level. After promotion to level 8, you might experience swing shifts replacing your day shifts in either branch at certain levels. Therefore, it's a career you should plan ahead for to avoid any disruptions from promotions.
