A '''Skill career''' is a kind of [[career]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''
<blockquote>We’ve implemented something we call “Skill Careers” so that players who have Sims who are fishermen, inventors, writers, and more can now register as self-employed at City Hall. We’ve added the consignment store venue in town so that players who create things like paintings or find things like jewels can earn a profit and take advantage of their Sims’ entrepreneurial spirits.<ref>[http://www.gaminglives.com/2010/03/08/sims-3-ambitions-revealed/ Sims 3: Ambitions - Revealed] article</ref></blockquote>
Skill careers work the same way as ordinary careers except that Sims are registered as "self-employed" and promotions are linked entirely to money earned. Only skills that produce items - [[Painting]], [[Sculpting]], [[Fishing (The Sims 3)|Fishing]], [[Gardening (The Sims 3)|Gardening]], [[Inventing]], [[Writing]], [[Photography]]{{vgversion|TS3:WA}} and [[Nectar
The first level of promotion requires sales of approximately §30. Money can be made through sales at the [[consignment store]] for most skill careers.
<blockquote>"When your sims have knowledge of several of our existing skills, including sculpting and inventing from Ambitions, they can register as being "self-employed."<ref>[http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/thesims3ambitions/news.html?sid=6257284&mode=previews&page=1 The Sims 3: Ambitions Q&A - Creative Careers] article</ref></blockquote>

===Registering as Self-Employed===
▲Adult sims with at least one skill level in certain skills can either use the phone or computer (or go directly to city hall) to "Register as Self Employed,". A message box will pop up, informing you that your sim is going to the city hall to do some paperwork. After that is done, your sim has successfully registered as a self—employer.

▲=== Advancement ===
▲The way for the sim to advance in their career is to earn [[Simoleon|money]] by making and selling objects that are related to their career. Obviously, a sim cannot advance by making and selling objects he did not register as, such as a self-employed inventor making sculptures. In the case of a Horseman/woman, they earn money through equestrian competitions at the [[Equestrian Center]].
===Payment===
▲Sometimes, depending on the career and career level, a sim will receive a uniform for their job. This is ''not ''necessary for them to earn money, but it adds a feeling of realism to their employment.

==
Sims in this career earn promotions based on the amount of money earned through selling [[elixir]]s. A Sim must have at least level 1 in his [[Alchemy]] skill.
▲The only way a self-employed sim can make money is when they sell their creations- as they do not do any work for the community, there is no weekly stipend as with professions. The exception is the writer, who will receive weekly royalties on Sundays at 12pm. Upon a promotion, the sim will also gain some money, again varying on what promotion it is.

Line 597 ⟶ 613:
Sims in this career earn promotions based on the amount of money earned through selling their sculptures.
Sculptors may sell their creations right off the stand or through buy mode to receive credit towards promotion.
Any object made at the [[Pedestrian Sculpting Station]] will count towards promotion. Sculptures can also be moved into the family inventory and sold through the Consignment Store, where the sale price can vary. However, "Ice Sim" sculptures show as §0 in the "Consign Items" interface and are probably worth more sold straight from the station.
