-==Effects==
+==Attributes==
+*Workaholics will use to "Work Hard" tone by default while working.
-Sims get the Likes Work moodlet (+10 mood) when working and they work better in careers. If they quit work or simply fail to go to work or school, they will get Missing Work moodlet (-30 mood), which stays until the Sim goes to work or school (work area for Professions). It cannot be removed by the [[Moodlet Manager]]. The only career that is unaffected by Workaholic is [[Investigator]]. The only way to skip work without getting the moodlet is to "Take unpaid time off" using a phone.
