Natural scientist

The Natural Science career track is a career that has to do with the study of natural science (biology, ecology, etc.). It is found in the University expansion pack for The Sims 2. It is only available to graduates of university, so it does not have a Teen/Elder track. If Apartment Life is installed, Bohemians are likely to be employed in this career.

Disturbingly, the career reward that comes with this career is the Cowplant, which can eat Sims, yielding a drink that extends Sims' lifespans.

On a less disturbing note, the level 10 job for Natural Science, Ecological Guru, has the highest daily pay of any of the jobs, though other top-level jobs may pay more per week, as the Ecological Guru only works one day per week. On the other hand, the Ecological Guru also has the longest workday. Oddly, though perhaps fittingly, the work uniform for the Ecological Guru is ... strategically placed leaves. While an Ecological Guru is at work, all of his/her needs, except Hygiene, will go up. Ecological Guru is one of the few jobs that does not have a carpool; an Ecological Guru flies to and from work. If the player cancels the Go to Work action, an Ecological Guru will not be able to go to work unless he or she has access to a car or Apartment Life is installed.
