Military
Thesims3-63-1-
An astronaut in The Sims 3.

The military career track available in The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3. In The Sims 4: StrangerVille, military returns as a semi-active career.

The Sims[]

The military career track from the original The Sims is notable for having the highest pay at ranks 1-6 but the lowest pay at ranks 7-10 of any career track in the base game. Of the 20 career tracks in the base game, Livin' Large, and Unleashed, it is notable for having the highest pay at ranks 1-5 and the second-lowest pay at ranks 8-10 (with only slacker paying less). It is also one of the easiest to get to the top of due to its low friend requirement (8 friends to reach general). The high pay when money matter most, and ease of climbing the promotion ladder when promotions are hardest to get, contribute to offering one of the smoothest gameplay experiences in the whole game. Military is also home to the highest-paying jobs with friend requirements of zero (Counter-Intelligence at §500/day), one or less (flight officer, §550/day), and two or less (flight officer again).

Military Career Levels

Somebody has to drop those troops, deliver that cargo, and guard the air space over Sim City.

Military career Military Chance Cards
1) Recruit
The sun has been relentless, and earlier in the day <Sim>'s drill sergeant forced the squad to run ten miles in the sweltering heat without any laces in their standard issue swamp boots, because one of the recruits had been unable to do up his laces in the amount of time mandated by the field manual. Now <Sim> has been asked to choose the proper method of discipline for a recruit who has been caught sneaking donuts into his footlocker. <Sim> must decide between placing the solider on kitchen duty, or restricting the soldier's rations to water and vitamin supplements. Kitchen Duty Success:
Cooking Skill +1
85% chance
Failure:
Got Fined Lose a day's pay (§350)
14% chance
Rations Success:
Charisma Skill +1
14% chance
Failure:
Fired Get Fired
85% chance
2) Elite Forces
The elite forces are having their annual punch and pie picnic cotillion at a local park just outside the city limits. <Sim> was asked to bring chips and dip for the potluck - but forgot and showed up empty handed. The rest of the squad is pretty disappointed at him/her, and he's/she's thinking he/she should probably do something to make it up to them. He/She could draw upon his/her elite forces training and go on a stealth mission behind enemy lines to one of the other squad's potluck tables, with the hopes of "occupying" some much needed appetizers, or he/she could enter himself/herself into the intersquad dance competition and try to earn his/her squad some much needed respect. Stealth Success:
Body Skill +1
85% chance
Failure:
Got Fined -§100
14% chance
Dance Success:
Charisma Skill +1
Earned Money +§5
14% chance
Failure:
Charisma Skill -1
85% chance
3) Drill Instructor
<Sim>'s been delivered a set of especially "green" recruits that are wetter behind the ears than a big-eared donkey in a rainstorm. He's/She's had them for two days and most of them still can't lace up their boots. Half of them still complain about having to iron their pants, and at least a third of them still seem to be thinking for themselves. <Sim>'s tried to teach them all the cadences he/she learned while he/she was a recruit. He's/She's tried putting them on ration restrictions and kitchen duty, but the regular ways just don't seem to be working, so it's take for phase 2. <Sim> can either force the recruits to march in their underwear, or take away their rifles and make them carry baguettes instead. Underwear Success:
Creativity Skill +1
15% chance
Failure:
Charisma Skill -1
84% chance
Baguettes Success:
Promotion Promoted to Junior Officer
84% chance
Failure:
Demotion Demoted to Recruit
15% chance
4) Junior Officer
<Sim> has been placed in command of a 30-soldier brigade of highly trained soldiers. Since it is peacetime, his/her unit enjoys a regimented yet regular life - that is, until rioting breaks out in his/her unit's deployment region. The Mayor of SimCity is trapped within City Hall along with several foreign dignitaries who were on a state visit, and rioters have set fire to the building. <Sim> is forced to think fast - he/she can direct his/her troops to storm the building by foot, or conduct an airdrop and have them infiltrate City Hall from above. Advance on Foot Success:
Earned Money +§500
15% chance
Failure:
Charisma Skill -1
Got Fined -§1,000
84% chance
Use Parachutes Success:
Promotion Promoted to Counter Intelligence
84% chance
Failure:
Body Skill -2
15% chance
5) Counter Intelligence
The enemy has made recent headway with its latest attempt to crack the SimCity Security Systems Database. <Sim> has been assigned to launch targeted counter-intelligence measures, but with the highly classified nature of all information within the agency, <Sim> finds himself/herself in the embarrassing position of not knowing exactly who the "enemy" is. He/She tosses a few subtle questions out while in the lunch line, but begins to get the distinct feeling that no one in the bureau has any idea who or what it is that they are fighting against. However, orders are orders, and <Sim> is going to have to come up with something. He/She could play it new school, unleashing a horde of his newly coded "double-agent" firewall replicator network probes, or he/she could keep it old school and go with a barrage of wire taps and traces. Network Probes Success:
Mechanical Skill +2
15% chance
Failure:
Fired Get Fired
84% chance
Wire-Taps Success:
Earned Money +§2,000
84% chance
Failure:
Got Fined Lose a week's pay (§4,900)
15% chance
6) Flight Officer
Growing weary of all the "Peacetime" restrictions - no dog-fighting with commercial airliners, no buzzing private control towers, no launching laser guided missiles into peaceful civilian protests - <Sim> and his/her fellow Flight Officers decide to make a little fun for themselves. They hop in a couple of fighter jets and head out to international waters, where the rules get a bit more "fuzzy" when it comes to 'who blew up who first with a heat-seeking computer aided anti-aircraft missile'. Within minutes, <Sim> spots a pair of bogeys who are clearly far from home, maybe even as far as RedCity - but wherever they're from, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting. Should <Sim> engage the enemy, or attempt to establish radio contact and warn the unidentified aircraft that they are trespassing in SimCity controlled air? Engage Success:
Earned Money +§3,000
15% chance
Failure:
Mechanical Skill -2
84% chance
Contact Base Success:
Body Skill +1
84% chance
Failure:
Charisma Skill -1
15% chance
7) Senior Officer
While out on a routine inspection patrol in the rocky SimCity foothills, a lieutenant in <Sim>'s division encounters a rare species of poisonous frog. <Sim> spots the danger immediately and calls out a warning, but is too late, and the soldier drops to the ground unconscious. The ailing Sim is rushed back to base camp. During the confusion, the frog manages to slip away unnoticed. <Sim> knows that importance of identifying the poison in order to improve the soldier's chance of recovery. As an experienced soldier, <Sim> is quite capable of finding and safely capturing the frog, but it might take too long. If he/she orders the rest of his/her unit to help him/her find the frog, he's/she's not sure that they'll be able to capture it safely. Should <Sim> attempt a potentially lengthy search by himself/herself, or should he/she have his/her squad help out? Search Alone Success:
Body Skill +1
Charisma Skill +1
15% chance
Failure:
Charisma Skill -1
Mechanical Skill -1
84% chance
Whole Squad Success:
Earned Money +§5,000
84% chance
Failure:
Demotion Demoted to Flight Officer
15% chance
8) Commander
One dreary morning, <Sim> receives a confidential memo informing him/her that several recruits have been accused of leaking sensitive government information to enemy factions. While this would ordinarily be a cut-and-dry case (court marshal and dishonorable discharge, plus jail time), one of the accused is the son of a high-ranking, powerful General. Over the course of the day, <Sim> is "informed" that perhaps it might be best if he/she quietly pardoned the offenders and let them off the hook. <Sim>'s conscience is torn, should he/she stick to the rules and risk the General's wrath, or should he/she take the easy way out? Book 'em Success:
Promotion Promoted to Astronaut
85% chance
Failure:
Charisma Skill -1
Body Skill -1
14% chance
Pardon 'em Success:
Big Bonus +§30,000
14% chance
Failure:
Demotion Demoted to Senior Officer
Got Fined -§10,000
85% chance
9) Astronaut
<Sim> and his/her crew have been training to command the first remote probe to land on the surface of Venus, but recent satellite images have revealed what may be the final stages of a mobile launch platform in the heart of RedCity. This could be bad for <Sim>'s career; it appears as though RedCity may beat him/her in the space race. But <Sim> has a secret weapon: It's a mission that would use similar technology as the Venus lander, but will transform the module into a submersible to explore the vast uncharted depths of the ocean floor. <Sim> could put the Venus mission on overdrive and attempt to land the module prematurely, or <Sim> could scrap the mission and put "Operation Unknown Ocean" into full effect. Explore Venus Success:
Promotion Promoted to General
15% chance
Failure:
Fired Get Fired
84% chance
Explore Ocean Success:
Big Bonus +§50,000
84% chance
Failure:
Got Fined -§25,000
15% chance
10) General
It's a quiet day in <Sim>'s posh, oak-paneled office suite when his/her private phone springs to life. Picking it up, <Sim> is mildly astonished to recognize the President's voice on the other end of the phone line. Apparently, there is credible evidence that a major satellite may be breaking orbit irregularly, putting it at a crash risk with several highly populated areas. It's a serious concern, and the President wants <Sim>'s advice as a certain of land, air and space. Should they make an emergency shuttle launch to intercept the satellite, or should they attempt to use their sophisticated missile system to vaporize the falling satellite into harmless debris? Intercept Success:
Earned Money +§20,000

Failure:
Demotion Demoted to Astronaut
Mechanical Skill -2
Charisma Skill -2

Vaporize Success:

1) Latrine Cleaner
The recruiter might have fudged the truth a bit, because the role of the Latrine Cleaner is not satisfying, or even sanitary. Try to eke out a grin as the Lieutenant stops by to see your progress, because you might otherwise be transferred from the mess to something worse. §40/hour No Bonus

Text: The latrines are overflowing! Apparently the Corps of Engineers "forgot" to drain them last week, which leaves a whole pile of mess squarely in the lap of your platoon. Luckily, you're not on duty tonight. But if you stick around, your squad mates would really, REALLY, appreciate the help.
Military Contracts
Received: At Work
Goal: Visit City Hall to complete by X time on Y day
Reward: Performance Increase

Go to the Military Base during your free time to take the R.H.A.T and you just might earn a raise and a job performance boost.
Note: You can fail this even after completing the goal. It's repeatable and will continue happening until you pass it.
