The Sims 4[edit | edit source]
In The Sims 4, every off-world career has two branches, while every active career only has one. Sims also have the option to register as self-employed with the Ministry of Labor, which is completely open-ended with no career levels or branches. Patch 79 added the freelancer career, which allows Sims to work on their own time from home. Sims can also register as self-employed, with a custom job title and description.

The Sims Online[edit | edit source]
Restaurant[edit | edit source]
In this job, Sims go to work at a restaurant (different restaurant at higher levels in their career) and would take NPC's orders, place them in the ticket machine, and bring them their food when it was finished.
Robot Factory[edit | edit source]
In this job, Sims would have to operate and maintain machines in a factory to produce robots. Players were paid for every robot made.
