Hacker
- For hacking activity through computer, see Hacking.
The Hacker Career Track comes with The Sims: Livin' Large. While it requires a lot of skills, few friends are needed, and at the top levels it is the highest paying career in the game.
The Information Overlord will eventually change careers and become a Newspaper Reporter in the Journalism career track.

10) Information Overload | |||
All the money and power you call your own still can't quash that nervous sense that perhaps some of your information is inaccurate, that there's something else you're missing. Take the time to find out what it is working for your local Times as a reporter.
Positive: Change to the Journalism career track as a Newspaper Reporter. |
