''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'' allows [[teen]]s, and older to take a '''part-time job.''' In ''The Sims 3'', [[adult]]s can also take a part-time job, at the cost of a full-time job.

This is useful for Sims attending [[school]] as it does not interfere with their school schedule. Older Sims can take part-time jobs too. They pay less per hour, but have fewer hours overall, so they are not as time-consuming as full-time jobs. All part-time jobs only have 3 levels, and Sims cannot retire in part-time jobs, so they will not receive pension.{{Vgversion|TS3}}

In ''The Sims 2'', part-time jobs are not labeled as such. All [[career track#The Sims 2|career tracks]] other than [[Natural Science]], [[Artist]], [[Show Business]], and [[Paranormal#The Sims 2|Paranormal]] have parallel part-time tracks which only go to level 3. (The careers that do not have part-time tracks are only open to [[college]] graduates.) When a teen or elder looks for a job through the [[Newspaper#The Sims 2|newspaper]] or [[Computer#The Sims 2|computer]], only positions in the part-time tracks will be available. A teen in high school or an elder who has retired from a full-time job will have a second tab in the job panel, which will show the part-time job. [[Young adult]]s can't have jobs with regular hours, but can work on campus as baristas and cafeteria workers. [[Downtown (The Sims 2)|Downtown]]{{vgversion|TS2:NL}} also offers part-time work as DJs and bartenders.

In ''The Sims 3'', Sims can apply directly at the work place for all part-time jobs. Performance options are limited to: Business As Usual (normal workday), Work Hard (more performance, but more stress), and Take It Easy (less performance, but less stress). Promotions are dependent only on mood. Normally, teens and older can take a part-time job, and there are no restrictions on how to apply for the job. Sims employed in part-time job will not receive any career opportunities.
