Xtreme

The "X-treme Career" career track is one of the ten basic careers in The Sims. It is the only career track to have the word "career" in its name, and the only one to have quotation marks in its name, though many people ignore or overlook these details and incorrectly refer to the track as merely Xtreme or X-treme.

This is the only career from The Sims base game never to appear in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3. However, the Adventurer career track from The Sims 2: Seasons is similar, and some promotion levels are basically the same jobs under different titles (e.g. "Relic Liberator" for "Treasure Hunter", "International Sim of Mystery" for "International Spy", etc.). The adventure special opportunities in The Sims 3: World Adventures also re-create many aspects of the Xtreme career and with practice can potentially be used to earn a living, though they do not form an official career path or skill-career in the game, and can be costly to pursue to begin with.

Like Life of Crime, it is a solid mid-range career track, with average pay at every rank and requiring an average number of friends to reach maximum rank.

Xtreme Career Levels
1) Daredevil
You've turned a bar bet into the foundation of an extreme career. In short, you'll try anything, the crazier the better. Swim under the surface of a frozen lake, leap between rooftops with a bicycle, beat a train to a crossing, juggle a chainsaw while whistling "Dixie." Your workday is short, but intense.	0	0	0

2) Bungee Jumping Instructor
The salary stinks - but whoever thought that you'd get paid to do this? Body skills are critical here; nutrition and fatigue must be carefully monitored at home. You might invest in home gym equipment as well, to keep in the best shape possible.	0	0	0

3) Whitewater Guide
You're in charge of the rafts bobbing down the river in Sim Canyon. Hope your body skills are sufficient - to advance here, your paying riders need to have confidence in your strength. Never know when you might have some boat repairs to do, so mechanical aptitude is a plus.	0	0	0

	09:00 - 15:00		1
			§325/day
4) Xtreme Circuit Pro
Snowboards in winter, mountain bikes in spring, kayaks in summer, and skateboards in fall - you've entered the year-round pro circuit. Strategies for winning can be helped by developing your logic skill. Since you're burning mega-calories, learning a few cooking tricks is a good idea, too.	0	1	0

			§400/day
5) Bush Pilot
Piloting that antique plane of yours demands some serious mechanical skill if you're going to safely dive through dense cloud cover and land on dangerous terrain. And you'd better be in great physical shape in case you can't get out the same way you got in. Of course, the danger does yield high pay.	1	2	0

You've become a renowned climber of unscaleable [sic] peaks, and there's lots of cash to be made by filming your expeditions for television. Mechanical and creativity skills will be important--a failure in your ascent gear or strategy could be devasting. [sic]	1	4	0

Creative skills will help you here. Work time is divided between taking photos and writing articles at the Sim Times newspaper office. You need to make sure you allow enough time to write without social distractions, in order to meet deadlines and collect a nice, fat fee. Maybe you should practice charisma. Who knows when you may be called upon to narrate your photos?	1	5	2
