Artist

The Artist career track 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.

The Career reward for this career track is the Luminous Pro Antique Camera.

Promotion Levels

Level	Name	Description	Days Off	Hours	Pay	Promotional Bonus	Skills Required	Friends Required
1	Canvas Stretcher	At the bottom rung of the art world, you make sure every piece of canvas sold at Dave's Art Emporium is stretched tight over its frame. But it's no dead end: you're allowed to watercolor on leftover canvases, and you're able to build up some charisma and make artsy friends while ringing up purchases for the clientele.

2	Street Caricaturist	Welcome to the streets of SimCity! With some charcoal pencils you bought at Dave's Art Emporium, you're all set to do caricatures of Sims passing by on the main drag.
