The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, the career reward object is the Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner. It is awarded at the Detective level and enhances your ability to improve the Cleaning skill. The scanner can also detect the last Sim to have used an object that is scanned and will display their picture with a thought bubble (If no Sim has used the object a random Sim is chosen).

 * 1
 * Security Guard
 * A badge, a gun... and the graveyard shift. As you're required to supply your own firearm and uniforms, it doesn't leave much in your pay envelope.  Also, you can't leave your post  - which means your skills on the hot plate come in handy at meal breaks.

 * A break from the mean streets, and a promotion with pay hike...but tons of paperwork. However, you're on regular hours with a reduction in physical demands. If you get tired of this desk job, improve those body and logic skills and you may be out on the street in a much more interesting job.

 * Cases have a higher profile, and your experience has advanced you to a better pay rate. As a Lieutenant, you are a Detective Squad Leader, and you need to keep those skills sharpened. The stress of dealing with that thick unsolved folder of SimCity crimes can do damage to your home life. Try to emphasize "family time" and recreation when at home to achieve a proper balance.

 * School Crossing Guard
 * You've got a job protecting one of SimCity's most valuable assets, its children. With the amount of ever-present road construction and resulting road rage, SimCity's crosswalks have become an even more dangerous place for the City's school children. Keep a watchful eye on the kids and the cars, and that sweet gig at the parking lot will be yours in no time.

 * Parking Lot Attendant
 * Attending to a bustling downtown parking lot isn't as easy as you might have thought. Your little booth has no climate control, and the non-stop onslaught of perturbed motorists, not to mention that the pay is low, and you almost always go home with a migraine from the exhaust fumes. Keep your cool and keep the lot free of inextricable parking puzzles.
