The Sims 2

Slacker is one of the ten basic careers in The Sims 2. Similar to the Slacker career from Livin' Large, it's the lowest paying career. Also, it requires the fewest skills of all careers for promotion, though it does require a high number of friends at the upper levels. If The Sims 2: Apartment Life is installed, Gearheads are likely to work in this career.
