This was loosely inspired by the Sims 4's Critic Career with City Living and was started around then. So you can see how long this took me! So without further adieu, here's the Critic Career! Like its Sims 4 counterpart, this career splits between Food Critic and Art Critic. This does not override any career in game.

For this career to show up, you will need the Nraas Careers Mod.
This career was made with Patch 1.69 and is in English and supports translations in German, Russian[/I, [I]Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and French. If you're interested in translating this career, there are instructions at the bottom of the page.

The career is based at the Business and Journalism office and has five levels; one beginner level and four levels in each branch.
There are uniforms for this career. You can edit career outfits with Patch 1.31 and above, so I highly suggest using this feature to give your Sims a uniform of your own choosing.
There are 7 Opportunities available.
Your Sim may receive a bonus on Snowflake Day if Seasons is installed.
There is no boss for the top levels of the career.
There is are two custom tones; Write Review Notes, which builds the Writing skill and Post To Blog, which builds the Social Networking skill.
You will need World Adventure, Late Night and University for this career to work as intended.

Join Text ~ In the world today there are many subjects to discuss. The life of a Critic is to bring out the good in all aspects of the finer points in life. Be they food or art, the Critic will comment on the outcome and as such, a fine eye for detail is required to succeed in this career path.

The Levels

1. Critical Blogger ~ There are some things in the world that just drive you mad. The paintings you saw at the latest art show at the gallery just weren't quite right and there was something extremely off-putting in that meal you dined on last week. Instead of keeping these criticisms to yourself, you're going to put them out to the world on a blog designed for a critic.
