This is a quick guide to the new career paths, Freelance Crafter and Civil Designer introduced by the Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack.
The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle Expansion lets players create a sustainable environmental system where they can change the world they live in.
Their actions decide if the change is for better or for worse.
If the area is too industrialized and the air polluted, Sims will cough all the time. If the air pollution level gets worse, Sims will start choking on smog. Clean the air before it’s too late.
If there’s too much trash, Sims won’t be able to see the aurora over the Evergreen Harbor sky.
You get the idea, every action has direct consequences.
The fact that the actions of your Sims have such a direct and rapid impact on the environment will definitely help increase awareness about environmental issues.
Enough for this eco-related talk, you can discover the new features yourself while playing the game.
Let’s focus on the topic of this guide, namely the career paths your Sims can embrace.
The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle Jobs and Career Choices
The Freelance Crafter
The goal of this career is to reduce and recycle as much as possible. If you embrace this career path, you can get creative making use of recyclable stuff and old Bits and Pieces to create new things.
In this manner, you breathe new life into items that would normally end up in the dumpster or landfill.
This crafting career is all about re-purposing things. You can use a Fabricator to create new products from the materials you recycled.
The fabricator is a very interesting and handy tool, but your Sims need to train to use it at full capacity and take advantage of all its features.
Using the fabricator without proper training is a recipe for disaster.
Becoming a master fabricator takes time but it’s one of the most rewarding gameplay ideas you can choose.
The Civil Designer
The Civil Designer plays the role of the innovator. There are two branches available:
- Green Tech: more engineering focused, it involves creating new technologies and discovering new ways to improve sustainability.
- Civil Planner: this branch is related more to urban planning.
Civil Designers are the ones that build useful inventions that will help Sims take better care of their environment.
For example, you can make a Smog Vacuum and use it to clean the air.
If you need someone to build a sustainable product, go to a Civil Designer and they’ll use their imagination and skills to create handy eco-friendly objects.
Your major task as a Civil Designer is to rebuild the town in a sustainable manner. You can read more about these new career paths on EA’s website.
Happy Simming!
