Military

The military career track available in The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3. In The Sims 4: StrangerVille, military returns as a semi-active career.

The Sims
The military career track from the original The Sims is notable for having the highest pay at ranks 1-6 but the lowest pay at ranks 7-10 of any career track in the base game. Of the 20 career tracks in the base game, Livin' Large, and Unleashed, it is notable for having the highest pay at ranks 1-5 and the second-lowest pay at ranks 8-10 (with only slacker paying less). It is also one of the easiest to get to the top of due to its low friend requirement (8 friends to reach general). The high pay when money matter most, and ease of climbing the promotion ladder when promotions are hardest to get, contribute to offering one of the smoothest gameplay experiences in the whole game. Military is also home to the highest-paying jobs with friend requirements of zero (Counter-Intelligence at §500/day), one or less (flight officer, §550/day), and two or less (flight officer again).

A General will eventually change careers and become a SWAT Team Leader in the Law Enforcement career track.

Performance options:

Opportunities

 * Late Night Latrines
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Work overtime for 2 hours.
 * Reward: Increased relationship with coworkers.
 * Text: The latrines are overflowing! Apparently the Corps of Engineers "forgot" to drain them last week, which leaves a whole pile of mess squarely in the lap of your platoon. Luckily, you're not on duty tonight. But if you stick around, your squad mates would really, REALLY, appreciate the help.


 * Military Contracts
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Visit City Hall to complete by X time on Y day
 * Reward: Performance Increase
 * Location: City Hall
 * Text: The commanding officer of the base needs you to deliver these instructions to City Hall on the double! The business is about to build our new prototype sub-atmospheric lunar reconnaissance vehicle, but they cannot get started without these instructions! Your job performance will increase as a result of you doing your duty.


 * No Whining!
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Read Military Book "Dealing with Whining Engines and Pilots".
 * Reward: Boss and Performance go up.
 * Location: Return to Work to complete.
 * Text: Engines and pilots whine like milk-starved kittens and that fact simply won't change. It's time to read "Dealing with Whining Engines and Pilots" so you can adapt your strategy and soar in a whine-free stratospher. Aside from the obvious benefits, your relationship with your boss will improve and your job performance will increase as well.


 * The R.H.A.T Race
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Attempt the R.H.A.T before X time on Y Day.
 * Reward: High chance at raise and a job performance boost.
 * Location: Military Base
 * Text: The time for you to attempt your Really Hard Athletic Test (R.H.A.T) has come! Soldiers who pass the R.H.A.T are eligible for additional benefits, but it takes tip top morale and a great physical condition to succeed in this hairy endeavor. Go to the Military Base during your free time to take the R.H.A.T and you just might earn a raise and a job performance boost.
 * Note: You can fail this even after completing the goal. It's repeatable and will continue happening until you pass it.

 * Reward: Increase job performance and relationship with Boss

The Sims 4: StrangerVille
Military returns as a semi-active career in The Sims 4: StrangerVille.

Description: "Physical fitness and discipline will be the keys to success in the Military career. Rising through the ranks will not come easy unless you can demonstrate your physical prowess as well as your ability to recruit and be a leader. Will you pursue the path of a Grand Marshal, or will you follow a more secretive path to uncover what others might be hiding?"

Covert Operator branch
Description: "The Covert Ops Branch is the part of the Military that no one talks about. You will be required to undergo secret tasks, by planting bugs and listening in on the unsuspecting. You will need to interrogate any and all suspicious individuals. No one can be trusted, and everyone is up to something. Are you up for the task?"

Officer branch
Description: "In the Officer Branch you will continue to earn medals while you rise through the formal ranks of the Military. The Officer path will see you earning the highest rank possible and becoming a Grand Marshal. To build your leadership skills you will be tasked to order others and build to peak physical fitness. No Grand Marshal can be outdone by a Raw Recruit!"
