Introduction:
This mod adds a new custom career to the game: the Factory Worker. Many players, including myself, lament the lack of “blue collar” careers in The Sims games so this mod is intended to give players a generic “blue collar” career to provide employment for their town.

Looking for employment? Then look no further than a career with Industrial Systems, the biggest employer of industrial workers throughout SimNation! Beginning with a humble single factory in Twinbrook, Industrial Systems has grown into a nation-wide corporation with factories spread across every major metropolitan area, employing hundreds of thousands of people in a capitalistic juggernaut that boasts record profits and passes almost none of it onto our workforce. We offer our employees a competitive... well, almost competitive salary. Our lawyers assure us that it's at least above the legal minimum we can pay, anyways. So come and work for Industrial Systems! We'll hire you even if you don't have any qualifications, just show a willingness to get to work and don't ask any questions about our company's Health Insurance! (Hint: There isn't any) If you work hard enough on the production line, you too may even reach managerial level. You won't be running the company, but...uhm, you can wear a suit?

Rabbithole: The Factory Worker career is situated in the Science Lab rabbithole. Although the obvious choice seemed to be to put the career in the Abandoned Warehouse, this didn’t really sit right with me since the Abandoned Warehouses in the Sims 3 are where criminals go to work, and the Science Lab feels much more like the kind of industrial-style building where large-scale factory work would take place. Nevertheless, I’ve included an Abandoned Warehouse version if you would prefer to use it. Just note that the Warehouse version may still refer to the Science Lab at times.

Work Tones:
  • Business as Usual
  • Work Hard
  • Relax in other Factory Workers
  • Hang Out with Co-Workers
  • Fix Broken Machinery (Increases Handiness skill)


JOB LEVELS – FACTORY WORKER:

JOB LEVELS - MANAGEMENT BRANCH:

JOB LEVELS - ENGINEERING BRANCH:

This career branches once after level three, where you can go into either the Management or Engineering branch. The career has six levels, since it isn’t the career for the most ambitious or corporate-ladder-climbing Sims. Initially, the career focuses on the Handiness skill. The Management path will also require Charisma, while the Engineering path will require Inventing.
This career has its own uniforms and an array of different opportunities, some of which depend on which career branch you choose.
