December 2016: Fixed issue with incorrect bonus at levels 9 & 10. Thank to PanAm103 for reporting this! :D
Meet Andy Anderson!
Andy had always thought a career in the real estate business would be exciting. Plus, it would certainly pay well, right? Enough to move out of the apartment complex, that's for sure. Maybe even a sports car? Well perhaps if a real estate career came with The Sims 2, poor Andy could afford these things!
Fortunately, I set about creating just such a career for poor Andy, so he could fulfill the dream he had since creation.... about four days ago.
About This Career
No uniform required. I prefer to change my Sims' clothes daily. So just change into formal gear before work and you're set!
Realistic pay and working hours. This means 9am-5pm most days. :P
Non-ugly carpools, even at lower career levels.
Slower motive decay than Maxis careers. I find it unrealistic to think that a sim would not drink or pee during work hours.
Chance cards included at each level.
No friends requirement. I find it a bit of an unrealistic requirement. (Added a version with a friend req.)
Includes a new Icon Set!
Putting Green career reward.
