How many proverbs and sayings were made about work: âHe who does not work doesnât eatâ, âDo you like to ride, love and bring sledgesâ, âWork is not a wolf, you donât go to the forest ...â. Hmm, a little wrong. However, you probably already managed to understand that we will talk about work, career skills and ways of earning. In addition, weâll talk about what skill is needed for which profession in âSims 3â.
How to start a career
A sim can get a job using a newspaper, computer, or phone. True, there is one condition: the vacancy that interests him must be in the list of ads. In addition, you can visit your future place of work and offer your services there. Speaking about the professions in "Sims 3", it should be noted that you will have to start from the very first stage. All your skills, abilities and past achievements will not play any role. That is why, if your sim decides to change the field of activity and quit, he should carefully consider this decision.
