Paranormal

The Paranormal career track is available with The Sims: Livin' Large and The Sims 2: University. Its main theme is fortune telling and connecting to the spiritual world, hence the name. The career track doesn't return in The Sims 3, nor in any of its expansion packs. However, the Fortune Teller career from The Sims 3: Supernatural is very similar to this career track, sharing some career levels, under different names. For example, the "Tarot Card Reader" level is basically the "Tarot Card Shark" level from Supernatural.

The Sims
Combining entertainment's extremely low pay at rank 1 ($100), business' pay at rank 10 ($1200), politics' ridiculously high number of friends required to reach rank 10 (17 friends!), and the musician's brutally bent and low pay curve at every rank in between, paranormal is one of the worst career tracks in the game or any of its expansions. It is inferior to entertainment, business, pro athlete, and hacker in every conceivable way, except that it offers better pay at rank 4 than hacker and entertainment, and better pay at rank 9 than business. Only pursue this track if you're looking for an extreme challenge, or you're using cheat codes.

A Cult Leader will eventually change careers and become a Junior Executive in the business career track.

The Sims 2
The paranormal career requires a college education. Thus, there is no part-time career for teens and elders. If The Sims 2: Apartment Life is installed, Techs are likely to work in this career. The reward object is the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, available when promoted to Medium. It can be used to resurrect dead Sims. The college majors associated with this career are Philosophy, Psychology, and Physics.

Trivia

 * The Paranormal career level 6 in The Sims 2: University, "Douser", uses an alternate spelling of dowser, which spelling might be less familiar to some players.
 * The Paranormal career track icon is reminiscent of the all-seeing eye, which is often used in popular culture to refer to the paranormal.
