Car Dealership Career

Okay so here's a Car Dealership career :D

Twallan's Careers Mod is needed to use this career.

You only need the Base Game to use this career, but it will work with any Expansion and Stuff packs installed. It was made with Patch level 1.63, though it should work with any patch level above or below this. This career is based in the Business and Journalism rabbithole. It's got 10 levels and involves Charisma and Handiness skills. It has no uniforms; feel free to add your own. There are no opportunities for this career.

This career won't overwrite any existing careers. Which means that when you click on the Business and Journalism rabbithole, you can join those careers and the Car Dealership.

Career levels and descriptions

1. Car Valeter ~ So, you like cars, eh? And you like driving them? Racing them? Well tough luck, your job is to clean the cars, not drive them! The small print - The pay sucks. But don't let that discourage you. You can play with remote controlled cars from time to time. Fun fun fun!

2. Receptionist ~ *Click click. Click.* Hello? Are you there? You want to buy a new car? Hello? Hello? Testing? Hello? *Click* Yeah - this job can be pretty boring. You'll be wanting to suck up to your boss as soon as possible to get a promotion. Oh, and er... I hope you're not a technophobe...
§25/hour
Hours: 8.00am ~ 4.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Hours: 8.00am ~ 4.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

4. Automotive Technician ~ A step up from mechanic, you now get to rip people off *Cough* sell spare parts in a fancy little shed. Customer care is the key - as well as buying your boss coffee and complimenting his hygene...well, that's up to you...

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

5. Marketing Director ~ Leaflets! Computers! Spam mail! These are the tools of your trade! Your job is to advertise the business to the hordes of car-hungry customers, who are just itching to give you their cash. Of course, you take responsibility for all advertising campaigns, promotional techniques and clogging up customer's junk folders (It's generally advised to advertise competing firms for this one).
§75/hour

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

6. Junior Salesman ~ Psst. You. Over here. YOU THERE! Buy this car. It's the right thing to do. You know this in your heart. Just give me your money...there, that wasn't so bad, was it? Huh? When am I delivering the car? What car?
§90/hour
Hours: 9.00am ~ 4.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

7. Sales Executive ~ You're now in charge of the sales team. You're in charge of keeping up profits. You get discounts on the vending machine. You're the first one to get sacked if sales slump. Wait, what? Surely it's not as bad as that? Get selling!
§110/hour
Hours: 9.00am ~ 4.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

8. Assistant Manager ~ A fine promotion! All that lying and deceiving has finally paid off! You don't need to do much, except fetch the manager the occasional cup of coffee...sit behind a desk trying to look busy...take the blame if the manager screws up... Good luck!
§140/hour
Hours: 10.00am ~ 3.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

9. Manager ~ A nice pay rise, a shiny car, a big office and lots of minions to do your dirty work! Bliss! You're the second in charge in the company, and the CEO depends on you to tell him what's going on (He'd find it out himself but he only works three hours a day, three days a week). Of course, if the company goes downhill...well...it's very courageous of you to take this promotion. To say the least.
§180/hour
Hours: 10.00am ~ 3.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

10. CEO ~ It's your job to report to the board of directors about the state of the business. You get to sit in a big chair in a big office, play golf on the floor and yell at the manager when he launders your money. Which for your sake, I hope never happens. You get minimal work hours and a fancy limo to take you to work. Enjoy life at the top!

Hours: 11.00am ~ 2.00pm

Install Instructions

Quick Guide:

1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.

For Package files:

1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Files^wiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).

For Sims3Pack files:

1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).


Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
