Job performance: Difference between revisions

== The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories ==

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', the career section shows the performance bar. For [[child]]ren and [[teen]]s, it reflects school performance, and shows their grades. For other Sims, it shows job performance. Teens with jobs will have two tabs in the career section; one will show school performance while the other will show job performance. Low job performance may result in a Sim being demoted or even fired, while high performance increases the chance of promotion, assuming that the Sim has the necessary skills and friends. Also, Sims with high job performance can get away with calling in sick when they aren't, thereby taking an unpaid day off.

 

For school performance, the Sim's grades are shown above the bar. For Sims with jobs, the number of family friends the household has is shown beneath the bar. If the household has fewer family friends than the Sim needs to be promoted, the difference will be shown in parentheses. However, once a Sim has reached the top of a [[Career tracks|career track]], the number of family friends is no longer shown.
