Thanked!
Hello fellow Simmers, today I give you something that I have never done before! A Career! But not just any career, a 3-level teen specific career entitled 'Local Lawn Care' for all the young sims seeking some easy outside work. Job titles include Yard Maintenance Worker, Lawn-mowing Field Representative, and Assistant Mowing Manager.
Where I live, working in your neighbor's yard or mowing a couple neighbors' yards is common work for teens. My fiance even started his own little business back in the day. Because of that I decided that I wanted some kind of job for teens in Sims that I see so often in person.
Career Title: Local Lawn Care
Uniform: Your sim's everyday clothes
Carpool: The classic Smoogo Minima
Level 1: Yard Maintenance Worker
Description: You are the lowest on the totem pole in your buddie's lawn-mowing business and the all the weed whacking, shrub trimming, and long hours in the sun are getting to you. Body and Charisma points will help you schmooze your way up to actually pushing a lawnmower.
Wage: $50
Work Days/Hours: M/T/Th/Sat, 3-5pm
Level 2: Lawn-mowing Field Representative
Description: Congratulations you have schmoozed your way up to actually pushing a lawnmower. The pay is better behind the mower and all the wealthy Sims in Simstown are willing to shell out some dough to keep their lawns freshly cut and manicured. If you play your cards right, work on your logic, body, and charisma you might just make your way to Assistant Mowing Manager.
Wage: $80
Work Days/Hours: M/T/Th/Fri/Sat, 3-5pm
Required to be promoted to this position: : Body +2, Charisma +1, Friend +1
Level 3: Assistant Mowing Manager
Description: You made it all the way up the ladder in your buddie's lawn-mowing business. Unfortunately you cannot be top dog while still in school, but you will for sure have bragging rights in front of all your friends. You still have to mow the lawn but you've finally been upgraded to a riding lawn-mower! Sit back, drink some lemonade, and enjoy the easy work while your friends are flipping burgers.
Wage: $110
Work Days/Hours: M/T/Th/Fri, 3-6pm
Required to be promoted to this position: Body +4, Logic +1, Charisma +3, Friends +2
All levels have a fun chance card by me. (I have a lot of respect for those who regularly make careers after working on these!)
Level 1: Your relative is hoping you'll be able to get your buddie's lawn mowing business to come out for half price making up a 'employee distant relative' discount. Should you ask your boss to do it or keep ignoring your relative's requests?
Level 2: You are exhausted from spending the last few hours in the sun, mowing the lawn, and being chased by bees. You can either go home early and hope your boss doesn't notice or risk knocking on the homeowners door and asking for a glass of lemonade. Do you go home or risk knocking?
Level 3: You notice a newbie messing around with the weed whacker coming dangerously close to a hornet's nest. Do you warn him or let him figure it out for himself?
Extra Details: This is made for teens but like any Teen career, Elders can apply too. If your teen does not go to college they will remain in the career level they are in (unless they get promoted) but will not move on past level three. This is not linked to an adult career. Should be EP-compatible.

About Me
Policy: Feel free to use whatever recolors of mine you want on MTS. But if you use my work, I'd like credit for it listed in the description etc. Also, if you do end up using my work for something and posting it, let me know :) I'd like to be aware of it and see what kinds of cool things you've created with my work :) On a further note, feel free to use my uploads to go inside of your pictures, uploads, or things like that. But once again, please let me know that you've done so. Thank you so much!
What am I working on now? I've been out of creating practice the last few years but am looking to get back into it. Who knows? [Updated as of 11/27/22]
Love,
Red
