* Careers & professions
* Control Sim’s actions and interactions while they’re on the job.
**5 new [[job#professions|professions]]: [[Architecture|architectural designer]], [[firefighter]], [[ghosthunter]], [[investigator]], [[stylist]].
**According to a member of ''The Sims 3'' staff, Sims will even be able to manage their careers to an extent while the player is not controlling them. "Every career has responsibilities and its own active jobs. Each active job will require [the player's] full attention, but there are still options that allow [the player's] Sim to progress and level up while not controlling them."<ref>[http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/178785.page What happens to Sims in workable careers you aren't controlling?]</ref>
** New career track, [[Education#The Sims 3|education]]<ref name="Interview with Grant">[http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?ref=Internal&from=de&to=en&a=http%3a%2f%2fsimfans.de%2fspecials%2fhands-on-sims3-traumkarrieren%2f Interview with Grant Rodiek, EA Associate Producer von Die Sims 3 Traumkarrieren]</ref> and new features added to the existing [[Medicine#Ambitions career expansion|medicine]] career track
*On-the-job choices now change the town and affect other Sims as well. Players modify the town’s structure as an architect or set neighborhood fashions as a stylist.
** Sims can get self-employed by going to the city hall after gaining one skill point in a [[skill career]].
*6 new [[job#professions|professions]] (not counting [[skill careers]]): [[Architecture|architectural designer]], [[firefighter]], [[ghosthunter]], [[investigator]], [[stylist]], and [[Education#The Sims 3|Education]]<ref name="Interview with Grant">[http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?ref=Internal&from=de&to=en&a=http%3a%2f%2fsimfans.de%2fspecials%2fhands-on-sims3-traumkarrieren%2f Interview with Grant Rodiek, EA Associate Producer von Die Sims 3 Traumkarrieren]</ref> career track. Contrary to popular belief, [[Sculpting]] and [[Inventing]] are new skills, not new jobs. However, you can get self-employed by going to the city hall after gaining one skill point. Also [[doctor]] is not new but new features added to the exising job track and it is still considered a Carrer, not a profession as advertised.
