'''Self-employment''' has existed since ''[[The Sims]]'', when Sims could sculpt and paint using skill objects, or (with ''[[Unleashed]]'') plant garden vegetables and sell their paintings, sculptures, and produce for money. Self-employment for a Sim, means using the Sim's skills and abilities to earn money. A Sim need not join a career track to earn money, though ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' made it possible to register as self-employed, joining a [[skill career]] in the process, and earn even more money and track progress in the field.
