The Sims 3
Business is one of the basic career tracks in The Sims 3. It's the only career track that doesn't require any skills for promotion. Sims can be employed from newspaper, computer, or office building. Because skills no longer contribute the performance factor to Business career, attending work and building relationships with boss and coworkers are more important. Schmoozer trait will be suitable for Sims who work in Business. Sims must hold meetings many times as a performance factor in this career track.
Sims can pull prank with their coworkers and boss inside the office building as long as the target is working inside. A successful prank will give a relationship boost to the target, and if the target is the boss, the career performance will also increase. On the other hand, a failed prank will give a relationship drop to the target, and if the target is the boss, the career performance will decrease.
- Performance tones
- Business as Usual
- Power Work - Increases performance faster but adds stress
- Take It Easy - Increases fun but lowers performance
- Meet Co-workers - Meets new coworkers
- Chat at Water Cooler - Builds relationship with coworkers
- Suck Up to Boss - Builds relationship with the boss
- Sleep Under Desk - Increases energy
- Hold Meetings - Adds the number of "Meetings Held" factor if held for at least 1.5 hours and earns extra cash
