The Sims

Paranormal Career Levels
1) Psychic Phone Friend
You knew you were meant for this job before it was even offered to you. Evening hours, lots of talk on the phone, and the chance to warn others of impending disasters in their lives is just what you're best at doing.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	18:00 - 00:00		0
			§100/day
2) Conspiracy Theorist
They're out to get you, you just know it. That suspicious warning on the phone the other night proved it too. Charm the locals and perhaps you'll be able to get to the root of all this supposedly random (but you know better) chaos in SimCity.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	23:00 - 05:00		0
			§130/day
3) Tarot Card Reader
Branching out on your own to do more in-depth analysis of your customer's love life and family history is an interesting career change. Get to know your clients on a more personal level, up the aura of mystery in your personal appearance, and generally get away with being as odd as you'd like - everyone expects it, after all.	0	0	1
	0	0	2
	17:00 - 23:00		0
			§200/day
4) Hypnotist
Your interest in "helping" your clients get in touch with their inner selves has prompted you to study hypnotism, and offer your services to calmly and peacefully help those seeking freedom from their poor Earthly habits.	0	0	2
	0	3	2
	10:00 - 16:00		0
			§300/day
5) Medium
All that hypnotic work kept providing you with Otherworldly interference, so address it on a daily basis. Contact deceased family members, friends from former lives, and even the client's long lost guinea pig to the wonder and appreciation of all around you.	0	0	2
	0	4	2
	20:00 - 02:00		3
			§375/day
6) Dowser
Use your gifts to help local organizations find everything from missing children to a new water supply. This will earn you the notice of local officials, and the hours are a bit odd, but the work is definitely interesting...	0	0	3
	1	5	2
	06:00 - 15:00		5
			§480/day
7) Police Psychic
The local police force has noticed your work in the field and wants you to help profile and track down some of their toughest criminals. (Just hope they aren't your neighbors.) Late nights and strange phone calls abound, but you're doing the public a great service.	0	1	5
	1	5	3
	18:00 - 02:00		6
			§600/day
8) UFO Investigator
Keep the RV gassed up and the equipment finely tuned, because tracking down these UFO reports will take you all over the country in search of... well, who knows what? Develop many friends in the science community, and make sure your personal theories get talked about in many circles, so the word gets passed along.	0	1	6
	1	7	4
	23:00 - 06:00		10
			§810/day
9) Exorcist
When science and the law can't provide answers, people turn to a higher authority. That's where you come in. Whether it's consecrating some earth or full-scale diabolical infestation removal, your powers are not questioned…nor is your cost. Save enough souls and make enough friends and you could be the shining path to a whole "New Way" of living.	0	1	8
	1	7	5
	10:00 - 15:00		13
			§1,000/day
10) Cult Leader
The New Way is here! And you are the messenger! Enforcing a highly regulated and disciplined lifestyle, you "deprogram" people from their selfish, materialistic ways. Politicians, movie stars, venture capitalists, they all want a glimpse of the truth. YOUR truth. THE TRUTH. And they will pay you anything to set them "free". Display this wealth openly, as a lesson against "false suffering."	0	2	10
	2	9	7
	10:00 - 16:00		14
			§1,200/day

A Cult Leader will eventually change careers and become a Junior Executive in the business career track.

The Sims 2

The Paranormal career requires a college education. Thus, there is no part-time career for teens and elders. If Apartment Life is installed, Techs are likely to work in this career. The reward object is the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, available when promoted to Medium. It can be used to resurrect dead Sims.
