Uses only base game features; compatible with EPs
Patch version: 1.52.100 (June 2019 patch)

BACKGROUND
My Sims have way too many kids, so I was desperate for part-time careers. Someone suggested part-time versions of the pre-made careers, which I thought was brilliant. It's simple; consistent with in-game experience; the balance of salary, skills, etc. is fool-proof. This one is my first: a part-time version of the base game Astronaut career.

OVERVIEW
Job titles and career tracks are the same as in the base game. Per-hour salaries are the same, so Sims will make about half as much per day. The skill requirements are almost identical, but there are no task requirements. The hours are simply cut in half. The schedule is about the same (start time and days), but they’ll work e.g. 12pm-4pm, instead of 12pm-8pm.
Salary range: §26/h (Intern) - §442/h (Space Ranger) or §413/h (Interstellar Smuggler)
Work schedule: Shifts are 3 to 5 hours long, mostly 4. They are scheduled for late morning or early afternoon, except for the Smuggler track.

DESCRIPTION: PART-TIME ASTRONAUT CAREER
