Honors degrees and distinguished degrees still provide a greater bonus, but now most jobs start around level 4 or 5 with the relevant degree. Most careers will now require some kind of degree to reach the top, but the starting position for Sims with degrees is now far lower. Musicians can learn any two musical skills in order to advance if you want your Sim to be a rock star instead of a pianist, the guitar and singing skills will work just as well! Comedians will still need to learn comedy, of course, but will now require some Acting skill at higher levels.
Before your Sim enters a specific branch, any kind of performance skill at all will now satisfy the requirement instead of the specific combination of comedy and guitar. Athletes will need to stay in good shape, botanists will need to learn about herbalism, doctors will need a lot of education, several careers will require you to develop and maintain a certain level of fame, and business-focused careers see the return of a friend requirement.Įntertainers have had their skill requirements completely redone. Careers will now ramp up their skill requirements faster and will require a greater variety of skills and non-skill requirements.
