[[File:Profession icon TS4.png|left]]'''Profession''' (also known as '''active career''') is an aspect of career which players have to direct Sims to do their work instead of the basic careers where Sims only enter a [[rabbit hole]]{{Vgversion|TS3}} or off-world{{Vgversion|TS4}} and gain performance based on several factors. This feature is first introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'', and is the main theme of the [[expansion pack]]. Further expansion packs also provide more unique professions. Professions wereare re-introduced with ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'', which includedincludes three new professions. ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' introduces semi-active careers, where players can choose Sims to have Sims work at home or off-world.

Sims can find a profession from [[newspaper]] and [[computer]] but some professions can be found in other ways. Sims can go to the [[fire station]] to work as a [[Firefighterfirefighter]], the [[salon]] or ask a stylist to work in the [[Styliststylist]] profession, the [[city hall]] to work as an [[ArchitecturalArchitecture|architectural Designerdesigner]], the [[science lab]] to work in the [[Ghostghost Hunterhunter]] profession, the [[police station]] to work in the [[Investigatorinvestigator]] profession, or ask a [[proprietor]] to work in performer professions. The only way to be employed in [[Daycaredaycare]] is from the newspaper or computer.

Every time Sims perform any of the responsibilities, such as doing a stakeout in [[Investigator]]the investigator profession, Sims will earn some experience. Once Sims gain enough experience, they will instantly get promoted. This is a flexible way to be promoted, since Sims don't necessarily have to attend their workplace for a promotion.

===Differences between professionprofessions and careernormal careers===

*If ''The Sims 3: Ambitions'' is installed, the [[Medicalmedical]] career has an expanded feature which enables doctors to perform medical checkup over patients. They will sometimes get a task to perform while on the work hour such as vaccination clinics at park.

*In ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', the [[Filmfilm]] career also has tasks around the neighborhood while on the work hour, such as promoting the movie at the bars.

Professions return in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'' as active careers. Sims can find an active career from their own cellphones or computer (as pretty much other careers). The difference between active careers and normal careers is, that in active careers player have the option to follow their Sims to work. There are three active careers in ''Get to Work'': [[Law Enforcement|Detectivedetective]], [[Medicine|Doctordoctor]] and [[Science (career)|Scientistscientist]]. ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]'' addsand another''[[The Sims 4: Dream Home Decorator]]'' add two more active careercareers, respectively, [[Actingactor]] and [[Architecture|interior decorator]].

When being followed to work, there are bunch of tasks for Sims to complete in order to gain a promotion and are always special to the career their given in. In the detective career, Sims must solve crimes by going to a crime scene and collecting clues, in order to catch the suspect, with finally interrogating them and putting to jail. In the Doctordoctor career, Sims must cure patients that are gathering up in the lobby by making tests, making a diagnosis after collecting enough evidence of an illness, and later up in the career performing surgeries. In the Scientistscientist career, Sims can create crazy potions, gadgets, and even a wormhole generator that Sims can use to explore [[Sixam]]. In the actor career, Sims must attend auditions and perform acting gigs, alongside getting their costume fitted, hair styled, and practicing lines.
