The '''science''' career is a base game [[career track]] for ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It returns in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'' (where it is known as "scientist") as an [[profession|active career]].

==The Sims==
Of the ten career tracks in the base game, science had the fourth-lowest pay at rank 1 and the fourth-highest at rank 10, behind [[entertainment]], [[Athletic (career)|pro athlete]], and [[Business (career)|business]]. It was also the second-easiest to climb (behind [[military]]), requiring only 10 friends to reach rank 10, and was in a three-way tie (with pro athlete and entertainment) for best ratio of pay to friends required to reach rank 10 ($1000/10 friends = 100). All of this made it one of the best career tracks to pursue. Out of all 20 career paths from the base game, ''Livin' Large'', and ''Unleashed'', it has the seventh-highest pay at rank 1 and the ninth-highest at rank 10, and is the seventh-easiest to climb, making it still an above-average choice.

! colspan="4" |1) Test Subject
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Having grown nearly immune to the electroshock stimulus, the ESP research team is finally convinced that <Sim> has absolutely no psychic powers whatsoever. So he's/she's been moved on to the Theoretical Color Research division, where his/her first test involves nothing more than sitting in a sterile test room, selecting one of two colored lengths of licorice and ingesting it. Should <Sim> eat the red licorice or the blue licorice?

|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |<Sim>'s been given a large amount of test suites to run. Normally he's/she's used to having a bit of free rein in the lab, fixing up some of the machinery, playing with the mice and with Wiki the signing chimpanzee, but now all of a sudden the lead researcher has <Sim> running these simple and formulaic tests that even Wiki could do, and <Sim>'s not so happy about it. Then it occurs to him/her that Wiki the signing chimpanzee COULD run the test suites! After all, all they are a bunch of checkboxes, one after the other. <Sim> never pays much attention to them anyways. Should <Sim> let Wiki do the test suites, or take a stand for himself/herself and tell her boss what he/she thinks?

! colspan="4" |3) Field Researcher
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |In a remote section of the SimCity outback <Sim> has come upon a previously undiscovered entranceway to an outcropping of ruins built into the base of a mountain and covered by dense jungle foliage. This is a major discovery, but <Sim> isn't sure how to proceed. Should he/she enter the ruins by himself/herself and attempt to ascertain their nature, or head back to the institute and inform some of the more distinguished archaeologists of the ruins' existence?

! colspan="4" |4) Science Teacher
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Lately, <Sim>'s students have been getting restless, but being relatively new to the field of teaching, <Sim> has been trying to stick to the textbook. Unfortunately, if there's one known constant in the universe, it's that high
school science texts are incapable of portraying the wonders of science in any way other than the most boring, convoluted, and drab. <Sim> decides that enough is enough, and that his/her job as a teacher is not to make sure his/her students have memorized the periodic table, but to get them interested in science and in learning. It's time for a field trip! All <Sim> has to do is decide whether the class should visit the mall or local video arcade, in the name of science, of course.

! colspan="4" |5) Project Leader
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |While reading through some of his/her team's reports, <Sim> realizes that one of his/her researchers has inadvertently stumbled upon a new lithium isotope. Not only is the discovery of a major find in and of itself, but the practical applications of the isotope in devices such as atomic linear accelerators and staplers will be worth a fortune. So it is that <Sim> finds himself/herself with a bit of a conundrum. Ethics would obviously say that he/she should inform the researcher of her own discovery and advise her how to proceed, but practicality says that no one ever got ahead in the world of science by sticking to the rules, and <Sim> could easily claim the discovery himself/herself without anyone being the wiser.

! colspan="4" |6) Inventor
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Locked in the basement of the institute's advanced technologies wing, <Sim> is hard at work and convinced that at any moment he'll/she'll make the breakthrough that will allow him/her to build the better mouse-trap. But amidst the confusion of his/her piles of parts and stacks of design specs, he's/she's forgotten whether to connect the Dervosian wicket receptacle to the coupled power inverter or to the focal spline reticulation intake valve. Which one should he/she connect it to?

! colspan="4" |7) Scholar
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Lately <Sim>'s grown weary of his/her scholarly life, and weary of the charade that so many university academics must be part of in order to weather the "publish or perish" phenomenon so common in today's collegiate environs. He/She misses the hands-on aspects of being a scientist and is tired of having to spend such a large part of his/her career lecturing and writing, when what he/she should be doing is discovering. It's high time that he/she did something about it. The only tough part is figuring out what to do without risking his/her cushy position as an "Academic." <Sim> mulls it over for a bit and decides that he/she should either spend the day working on his/her old theory of extra special relativity or look into finishing his/her field work in the ancestral structures of the Llama family.
| rowspan="2" valign="top" |''Theory''

! colspan="4" |8) Top Secret Researcher

| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Military Intelligence, otherwise known as AWXYMRAWN, has unearthed something very important in the SimCity Desert. <Sim> has received a telegram that reads: <Sim> stop top secret stop your eyes only stop have found an a stop l stop i stop e stop n stop stop s stop p stop a stop c stop e stop s stop h stop i stop p stop stop come to you know where at you know when stop this message will self destruct stop. Fascinated by the thought of a small piece of paper self destructing, <Sim> places the telegram on the table, but it just sits there, benign as ever. Well, <Sim> does manage to decipher the military's "intricate" code, but unfortunately has absolutely no clue about the time or place where he's/she's supposed to meet them and discuss the "you know what." So he/she surmises they must be either be talking about the excavation area, somewhere out in the middle of the desert, or the secret underground military installation he's/she's heard talk of, somewhere off Interstate 51. Which one should he/she try?

! colspan="4" |9) Theorist
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |With the recent complications arising from such concepts as dark matter, wormhole theory, red vs. blue shift, superstring theory, <Sim>'s own extra-special relativity, not the mention the meta-spline reticulation debate, <Sim> has decided to take on a more rational approach to his/her theorizing. After all, there are so many inconsistencies and unknowns still lurking in the day to day activities of Sims across the world. For instance, what happened to all the pets in SimCity? One day they were there and the next day they were gone, vanished without a trace. Or how is it that Sims are all able to carpool, but yet not one Sim seems to own a car? Better yet, what's the deal with "inventory"? How is it that no one seems to have a problem with the seemingly infinite universe that exists within each and every Sim's pockets? But <Sim> needs to focus, and he needs a starting point. Should he/she start with the tangible or the intangible.

Even further off a bell tolls, and a baby cries. Tonight, <Sim> plans to go against the very laws of nature. Tonight <Sim> will attempt to reanimate the dead. Mwahahahahaha! His/Her life's work in the sciences has culminated in a combination of biological and chemical engineering, and since taking on the mantle of Mad Scientist his/her thoughts have turned evermore towards living up to the title. Everything is in place, but in his haste <Sim>'s assistant has misplaced the electrical schematics, so <Sim> is going to have to rely on his/her instincts and decide whether to connect the green wires or the orange wires to the energy source. The correct set will route the reanimating powers of the skies directly to the machinery, while the other could set off a chain reaction which might very well lead to the end of the world ...

;Unknown
:Your boss broke his shower and needs you to fix it!- Cash reward, Improved job status

===Experiments===
[[File:Experimentingtheshower.jpg|thumb|A Sim is performing experiment on a shower]]After a Sim has attained the Mad Scientist (Science level 10) job, that Sim will be able to use the "Perform Experiment On..." action on many items around the house and on [[community lot]]s. Note that this perk is kept after the Sim retires/quits. The Sim can also "Undo Science Experiment" on those objects (if the experiment didn't delete or damage the object).

Note: Some objects such as kitchen counter surfaces cannot be experimented upon in their default state, as they offer no default interaction and therefore cannot be clicked on. However, once the object becomes dirty and allows the "clean" option when clicked, you can use this opportunity to "Perform Experiment On..." them. This opportunity will disappear once you have cleaned them.

This action can have one of several outcomes:

{| class="prettytable"
!Description
!Value
!Effect
|-
|Success! Your experiment has imbued this object with a positive effect on anyone who walks by!
| +9, ideal
|A specific positive [[List of Moodlets (The Sims 3)|Moodlet]] is applied to any Sim that later moves within range (3 squares?) of the object. The Moodlet expires as soon as the Sim leaves range. See table below for possible effects.
|-
|Success! Your experiment has imbued this object with a positive effect on anyone who uses it!
| +8, great
|A specific positive Moodlet is applied to any Sim that uses the object. The Moodlet expires after a set amount of time. See table below for possible effects.
|-
|Success! Your experiment has resulted in a giant boost to this object's aesthetic appeal!
| +7, nice
|Increases how decorated the room is. For example, applying this to a toilet changes the room's value from Decorated +10 to Beautifully Decorated +40.
|-
|Success! Who needs a repair technician when you've got science? That object is definitely better than it was before...
| +1, ok
|Applies an upgrade to the object, masking any current upgrade on that object. For example, make Unbreakable (but masked Improve Speakers or Boost Channels upgrade) or Improved Graphics (masked that the object was already Unbreakable). Using Undo Science Experiment will return the object's previous upgrade (if any).
|-
|Enjoy your newly sonorific object!
| -1, annoying
|The object makes a sound when used. No Moodlet, just annoying.
|-
|Enjoy your new sonorific object! Too bad you can't control when it is going to make noise.
| -2, annoying
|The object makes a sound at random times. No Moodlet, just annoying.
|-
|Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Hopefully the noise that thing makes while people use it isn't too annoying...
| -3, annoying
|The object makes a more annoying sound when used. No Moodlet, just annoying.
|-
|Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Hopefully the noise that thing makes randomly isn't too annoying...
| -4, annoying
|The object makes a more annoying sound at random times. No Moodlet, just annoying.
|-
|Well, that didn't work. Get that thing fixed and try again. You can't split an atom without breaking a few eggs.
| -5, annoying
|Breaks the object, requiring it to be repaired. Note that you can't use Undo Science Experiment to repair it. You can use Perform Experiment On broken objects though.
|-
|Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Anyone who uses this object is in for a nasty surprise!
| -6, bad
|A specific negative Moodlet is applied to any Sim that uses the object. The Moodlet expires after a set amount of time. See table below for possible effects.
|-
|Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Anyone who walks by this object is in for a nasty surprise!
| -7, bad
|A specific negative Moodlet is applied to any Sim that later moves within range (3 squares?) of the object. The Moodlet expires as soon as the Sim leaves range. See table below for possible effects.
|-
|Oops! Hopefully no one was too attached to that object. Ah, the dangers of science...
| -8, unrecoverable
|The object is deleted, without refund.
|-
|Ack! Call the fire department! Avoiding the shame of a failed experiment isn't worth burning down the whole house!
| -9, dangerous
|The object is set on fire.

===Trivia===
* The last part of text for the Creature-Robot Crossbreeder description is a reference to a scene from Austin Powers, where Dr. Evil complains about not being able to have a tank of sharks with lasers on their heads. Number 2 offers him a mutated sea bass instead, hence the description: "Sharks or sea bass. It makes no difference. Just don't forget the lasers."

=== Sims in the Science Career: ===

* [[Boyd Wainwright]] - Fertilizer Analyst
* [[Gobias Koffi]] - Fertilizer Analyst
* [[Susan Wainwright]] - Carnivorous Plant Tender
* [[Judy Bunch]] - Aquatic Ecosystem Tweaker

==The Sims 4==
The '''scientist''' career is one of the three [[career tracks]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]''. Like the other ''Get to Work'' careers, scientist is a [[profession]], which are active careers where Sims can be followed to work. Also like the other ''Get to Work'' careers, sims who are scientists can be called to work at any time.

The workplace for this career is FutureSim Labs, a [[science lab]] lot, where Sims can use scientific objects such as the [[Invention Constructor]], [[Chemistry Lab]] and [[Chemical Analyzer]]. Only Sims currently in the scientist career can interact with the Invention Constructor and Chemistry Lab. In the labs, Sims can invent new things and test new serums, create a portal to [[Sixam]], and more.

===Career levels===
Description: "Calling all brains! Are you the nerdy type who aspires to one day wear '''tin foil on your head''' and decorate your studio with huge '''bubbly tanks'''? A Scientist who proves they’ve got the gray matter to change the world as we know it can unlock new outfits like the '''UFO hunter''' or objects like a swanky '''Chemistry Lab''' for concocting new inventions and serums."
