The '''Politicspolitics''' [[Career Tracks|career track]] is one of the ten basic career tracks for ''[[The Sims]]'', and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and is one of the fourteen basic career tracks for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It also appears in ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' as a [[Profession|semi-active career]], under the name "politician".
 
==The Sims==
 
Politics follows a very similar pay curve to the [[military]] and [[law enforcement]] career tracks, having the third-highest pay at rank 1 but the third-lowest pay at rank 10 of any of the career tracks in the base game. However, it is by far the most difficult career track to reach the top of due to its extremely steep friend requirement (17!), and at high ranks, it has by far the worst ratio of pay to friends required. Out of all 20 careers from the base game, Livin' Large, and Unleashed, it is tied with Paranormal for being the most difficult career track to climb and only Slacker has a worse ratio of pay to friends required at rank 10. It's good for making quick cash in the first few in-game days of a Sim's life, but players will probably want to switch to something else as soon as possible.

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the [[Career rewards|career reward object]] is the [[Career rewards#Enterprise Office Concepts Bushmaster Tele-Prompter|Enterprise Office Concepts Bushmaster Tele-Prompter]]. It enhances a Sim's ability to improve the [[Charisma]] skill. If ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' is installed, [[Socialite]]s are likely to work in this career. The college [[major]]s associated with this career are Political Science, Economics, History and Drama, making it (Along with [[Show Business]]) the only career track with 4 college majors associated.

The young woman has been hauled into court more times than <Sim> can remember, but each and every time, the judge involved dismissed the charges on the basis of some technicality provided by the young kleptomaniac's high-priced legal staff.

The power-that-be have categorically denied any connection between the two events, but it takes <Sim> only a few hours to note that each documented use of the technology corresponds directly to the beaching of multiple whales, both in time and location. <Sim> prepares his/her findings and announces his/her intentions to present them to the Sub-Committee ASAP. En route to the Senate Building, he/she turns a corner and spots a black helicopter descending silently from only a few stories above him/her.

==The Sims 3==
[[File:Leader.jpg|thumb]]'''Political''' is one of the basic [[career tracks]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Sims can be employed from [[newspaper]], [[computer]], or [[city hall]]. Working in the Political career requires the [[Charisma]] skill, which indirectly requires friends in order to advance the skills as well. Additionally, Sims requireare required to collect government funding as one of the performance factors. Sims can collect the funds by asking in person or by throwing a campaign fundraiser party.
 
The Political career has a special performance tone, "Propose New Course of Action." This special tone needs 16 cumulative hours to be finished. It has several possible outcomes when Sims finish proposing the course of action. There's a 10% chance that Sims will be promoted outright regardless of performance, 30% chance for +40 relationship with the boss, 40% chance for +40 relationship with the boss but -40 with coworkers, and 20% chance that the boss and coworkers will get damaged relationships by -30 and -40, respectively.

|-
| colspan="3" |'''Perk''': Sim will gain a permanent invisible "Aura Of Leadership" around them, making Sims either wave cheerfully or boo in disapproval. This invisible aura has no effect on relationships like the [[Criminal Career (The Sims 3)|Emperor of Evil]]'s red aura and isn't affected by traits. The aura functions exactly like the celebrity aura that Rock Stars and Hit Movie Composers have at the top of the [[Music career]] branches. This invisible aura remains even after the Leader of the Free World quits or retires.

==The Sims 2 (Console)4==
The '''Politician''' career is one of the three [[career tracks]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' expansion pack.<ref>[https://www.thesims.com/news/sims-4-city-living-careers "New Careers in The Sims 4 City Living Send You Out on Assignments"] by [[Grant Rodiek]] on [[TheSims.com]] (retrieved 17 October 2016)</ref> Like the other ''City Living'' careers, Sims in the Politician career have the option of working from home. They are offered their first work from home assignment immediately after joining the career, which, if completed, improves their job performance. The purpose of this assignment is to choose a cause (out of a selection of No Sim Left Behind, Simoleons for Everyone, Speak for the Trees, World United, and the Foundation for Less Mischief), which they then promote as they continue their career. After this, if they choose to work from home, they are given two randomized assignments to complete each day, though they can still choose to go to work as they normally would.
{{cleanup}}
'''Politics''' is one of the career tracks available in ''[[The Sims 2 (console)]]''.
 
After being promoted from level four, Sims will be able to choose one of the two career paths: Politician or Charity Organizer.
