Around the World in 80 Days: A Phileas Fogg Career
I’ve submitted this career for August’s theme: All About Men as it revolves around a male character; Phileas Fogg.
Of course it doesn’t mean that any other gendered Sims cannot have this career, they are more than welcome to!
For that reason I’ve tried to keep all levels, chance cards etc non-binary.
The only exception is level 10 as Mr Fogg does fall in love/marry Aouda.
Thanks to Loki Beaker from StrangeTown for trying out this career!
Only disappointing thing about this career is that your Sims won’t be in those gorgeous lands! It’s a shame you can’t go to work with your Sims in TS2 otherwise I would have created a World or Locations to go along with the itinerary/levels.
*IMPORTANT* Info about Levels:
Levels 2-9 are based on the itinerary from the book which is condensed from the 37 chapters of the book:
2:London to Suez by steamer = 7 days
3:Suez to Bombay by steamer = 13 days
4:Bombay to Calcutta by rail/elephant = 3 days
5:Calcutta to Hong Kong by steamer = 13 days
6:Hong Kong to Yokohama by steamer = 6 days
7:Yokohama to San Francisco by steamer = 22 days
8:San Francisco to New York by rail = 7 days
9:New York to London by steamer = 9 days
Total: 80 days
Level 10 is based on a happy ending.

Other *IMPORTANT* Info:
• Yes the wages/working hours are a bit unrealistic and especially for the time it was set in but I wanted to keep it in pattern with the itinerary and also leading up to the £20,000 wager prize which is $10,000 simoloeans (the game doesn’t allow it to go any higher than that.*
• I have also included a glossary in the zip file explaining terminology used in this career.
• Chance cards are for levels 2-9 only because I didn’t want them for the start/ending of the career/story.
• Chance cards are random and are not based on the book, just quirky little things I’ve made up to make it fun.
• I’ve used the Captain Hero Flyaway as method of transport for work as it gives it a whimsical feel!
• I’ve used the PowerSuit as the work outfit.
• Has its own GUID, should not override any other careers.
Feedback would be incredibly welcome; especially if you know the story inside out.
