Artist

Not to be confused with Artistic.

The Artist career track is found in the University expansion pack for The Sims 2. It is only available to college graduates, so it does not have a Teen/Elder track. If Apartment Life is installed, Bohemians are likely to work in this career track. The Career reward for this career track is the Luminous Pro Antique Camera.
