Xtreme

The "X-treme Career" career track is one of the ten basic careers in The Sims. It is the only career track to have the word "career" in its name, and the only one to have quotation marks in its name, though many people ignore or overlook these details and incorrectly refer to the track as merely Xtreme or X-treme.

This is the only career from The Sims base game never to appear in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3. However, the Adventurer career track from The Sims 2: Seasons is similar, and some promotion levels are basically the same jobs under different titles (e.g. "Relic Liberator" for "Treasure Hunter", "International Sim of Mystery" for "International Spy", etc.). The adventure special opportunities in The Sims 3: World Adventures also re-create many aspects of the Xtreme career and with practice can potentially be used to earn a living, though they do not form an official career path or skill-career in the game, and can be costly to pursue to begin with.

Like Life of Crime, it is a solid mid-range career track, with average pay at every rank and requiring an average number of friends to reach maximum rank.

An International Spy will eventually change careers and become a Counter-Intelligence officer in the Military career track.
