Business (career)

Not to be confused with Business.

Business is a career available in The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4.

The Sims

Of the ten career tracks in the base game, Business had the third-lowest pay at rank 1 but the third-highest at rank 10, behind only Entertainment and Pro Athlete, and follows a similar pay curve to those two. Requiring 14 friends to reach maximum rank, it was also tied with Entertainment for second-hardest career track to climb (behind Politics). At rank 10, its ratio of pay to friends required is pretty average ($1200/14 friends = 85.7), but lower than those of the career tracks with the most similar pay curves (Pro Athlete and Science). Out of the 20 career tracks in the base game, Livin' Large, and Unleashed, it offers more or less average pay at rank 1, is in a three-way tie (with Journalism and Paranormal) for fifth-highest pay at rank 10, and has the sixth-highest combined pay over all ten ranks ($5400), but is in a three-way tie for fifth-hardest to climb.

Business Career Levels
1) Mailroom Clerk
Minimum wage, but you're on the ground floor of one of SimCity's mega-corps. Keep the copier and coffee machine in working order. Be organized, prompt, and friendly when you push the cart through the halls - maybe some sharp-eyed company officer will consider you for a kick upstairs.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	09:00 - 15:00		0
			§120/day
2) Executive Assistant
Longer hours, but an opportunity to work the phones, increase people skills, and keep the Boss happy. If you work on your mechanical skill, you might be able to repair that infernal copy machine the next time it breaks. Now THAT would make your boss notice you.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	09:00 - 16:00		0
			§180/day
3) Field Sales Representative
Before you move up in the company, you'll have to earn your dues putting in a long day on the road. Meet your quotas (charisma can make a good sales pitch great) and make good contacts and you'll be ripe for a promotion to an office with wheels.	0	2	0
	0	0	0
	09:00 - 16:00		0
			§250/day
4) Junior Executive
Now you have your own grunt to boot around, a personal cubicle, and a nice salary - but it's still a long walk down the hall to the washrooms. Good relationships with people to whom you've proven your superior logic skill will definitely get you noticed.	0	2	2
	0	0	0
	09:00 - 16:00		1
			§320/day
5) Executive
You have your own Junior Executive, and an actual office with a door that closes. Problem is, the Executive level at your company is heavily populated. Well-rounded skills and a good work attitude will help you stand out from the crowd and impress the higher ups.	0	2	2
	0	2	0
	08:00 - 15:00		3
			§400/day
6) Senior Manager
Salary hops up, as you are now overseeing several franchise offices. There are a lot of executives under your command, so charisma and logic help in settling disputes and keeping the various teams running smoothly. Your golf game needs to be good if you expect to close deals, so a little more work in the body department might not be a bad idea.	0	2	3
	0	3	2
	08:00 - 15:00		6

	2	4	2
	09:00 - 17:00		8
			§660/day
8) President
The company sends a town car to pick you up in the morning. You get the top floor suite and a hefty paycheck. Your creative juices are flowing and you're feeling smart and powerful. But there's a downside as well. More stress, and some of the neighbors might resent your success (Nothing a barbecue at your place wouldn't fix. And who knows, you might meet someone new...)	0	2	5
	2	6	3
	09:00 - 17:00		10
			§800/day
9) CEO
Top of the heap at your company. But can a powerful, well-to-do exec balance the responsibilities of the office with mate, children and friends? Social responsibilities are peaking - it might be time to move up to a bigger house, to better entertain bigwigs.	0	2	8
	2	7	5
	09:00 - 16:00		12
			§950/day
10) Business Tycoon
You're a corporate raider and mogul, heading a world wide conglomerate. But now that you're a famous local figure, guess what? You'll be expected to give money to charities to maintain your standing with your fellow Sims. Still, it does feel good to glow in the bask of success.	0	2	8

A Business Tycoon will eventually change careers and become an All-Star in the Pro Athlete career track.

1) Gofer
The obtainer of coffee - glamorous, no, but at least it gets you out of the office and into the "fresh" city air much of the time. Not to be confused with the small furry semi-aquatic woodland creature, an office gofer is one who goes for things at the request of pretty much anyone who isn't a gofer themselves.

While sorting the mail, a letter falls out of an envelope and lands on the ground.

A memo sent from the main office to all Field Sales Reps. informs <Sim> that a new Junior Executive position has been created and will be filled at the end of the day by the Field Sales Rep. with the largest sales contract.

	Failure: Lose all points	15% chance
4) Junior Executive
The current grist for the office rumor mill seems to be that <Sim>'s boss is up for a promotion and has been asked to hand pick his replacement. Seems like a sure fire way to get in good with the boss would be to take him out to his favorite restaurant, but <Sim> also knows that his kids have been desperate to get the new Robotic Ants from Wrightway Toys.

	Success: +§5,000 +2	14% chance

6) Senior Manager
<Sim>'s warehouses are reporting a huge overstock of Llarry the Talking Llama. <Sim>, on the advice on his/her sales team, acquired the rights from AlpacaSoft to be SimCity's distributor of the overstuffed talking toy, as the fuzzy llama was projected to be all the rage; but actual sales haven't even come close to expected figures. An opportunity arises to license the toys as the athletic mascot of the SimCity Llamas, but at this point <Sim> wonders if he/she shouldn't just donate the stupid toys to the SimCity Children's Home and cut his/her losses.

Having just purchased two thousand shares in MoneyWell Computers on a tip from his/her broker, <Sim> heads to the corporate water cooler and overhears a conversation about the computer company: apparently, the military is about to award MoneyWell a lucrative contract to provide all of the military's computers for the next ten years, but if MoneyWell fails to get the contract they will be forced to declare bankruptcy and close their doors. <Sim>'s broker assured him/her that his/her new stock was a sure thing, but now it sounds a bit risky.

8) President
Microscotch Technologies is looking for a new CEO, and <Sim>'s name appeared on their list of candidates. Though <Sim>'s been happy at his/her current corporation, the thought of possibly becoming a CEO is tempting. After researching Microscotch, <Sim> is impressed with their business record and environmental policy. <Sim> could easily show interest in the position and, with his/her experience, have a good chance of landing it. But loyalty is a powerful asset in the business world, and word would undoubtedly get around that he'd/she'd gone looking elsewhere.	Apply

While having a meal with his/her assistant, <Sim> learns that EveryTech Technologies is looking for a new CEO and that <Sim>'s own president is being considered for the position. <Sim> ponders what his/her response to this should be and if he'd/she'd have enough time to sabotage the president's plans, as a move like this would invariably be bad for business. Then <Sim>'s assistant reminds him/her that the president has been a loyal employee with the company for many years, and has stuck with the company through thick and thin.	Sabotage
	Success: +2 +1	15% chance
	Failure: -3	84% chance

	Failure: -3	15% chance
10) Business Tycoon
An opportunity arises for a joint venture with Landgraab Enterprises to build a new privately owned, but internationally accessible seaport. A new seaport would allow many of <Sim>'s corporations access to trade routes in other regions much earlier in the corporation's developmental lifespan than trucking products via land routes. A seaport would also allow well-established companies a much faster distribution rate, but on the other hand, it would be more immediately economical to simply acquire more trucks and ship higher volumes.	Build Seaport
	Success: +§35,000	15% chance
	Failure: Demoted to President	84% chance
	Buy Trucks
	Success: +§40,000	84% chance

The Sims 3

Business is one of the basic career tracks in The Sims 3. It's the only career track that doesn't require any skills for promotion. Sims can be employed from newspaper, computer, or office building. Because skills no longer contribute the performance factor to Business career, attending work and building relationships with boss and coworkers are more important. Schmoozer trait will be suitable for Sims who work in Business. Sims must hold meetings many times as a performance factor in this career track.

Sims can pull prank with their coworkers and boss inside the office building as long as the target is working inside. A successful prank will give a relationship boost to the target, and if the target is the boss, the career performance will also increase. On the other hand, a failed prank will give a relationship drop to the target, and if the target is the boss, the career performance will decrease.

Performance tones

• Business as Usual
• Power Work - Increases performance faster but adds stress
• Take It Easy - Increases fun but lowers performance
• Meet Co-workers - Meets new coworkers
• Chat at Water Cooler - Builds relationship with coworkers
• Suck Up to Boss - Builds relationship with the boss
• Sleep Under Desk - Increases energy
• Hold Meetings - Adds the number of "Meetings Held" factor if held for at least 1.5 hours and earns extra cash
