I assume that there are chance cards. What are the main skills required? I would have assumed that you might have cloned it from the dancer career.

Nonetheless, thank you for your creativity - Sims 2 still lives and thrives due to the people that continue to offer their creations!

Thanks for your kind words!

There are chance cards for 5 of the levels. This is not cloned from the dance career at all. Originally it was cloned from the slacker career. There are those of us who believe figure skating is the highest form of dance, even higher than anything in the dance career!

At the lower levels you'll need mechanical skills to operate all the machinery at the ice rink. Later on when you start competing you'll need body and creativity. At the very highest levels you'll need charisma to attract a sponsor.

you should not need university to run this career. I don't have sims university on my computer and I can run the career just fine.

Does this career have it's own GUID, or does it replace an existing game career?

Hello, I love this cereer, but I'm pretty lost. How do I find the career once installed? It is looking in the newspaper or internet, no?

Sorry if this is a silly question D:

Hi there, RudieCantFail. This career has its own GUID and won't rteplace any career that I know of. By the way, nice to see you are a big fan of The Clash like me!

Not a silly question. Sometimes it takes a while for the career you want to randomly come up in the newspaper and computer job listings, especially when you download as many careers as me. Sometimes you just have to be patient........or you can cheat.

Hit shift+cntl+C and in the window that appears at the top of your screen type, "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" but without the spaces. Then hold down the shift key and click on the newspaper. Click on adult jobs and select the one you want from the list.

I'm very excited to try this play through this career! I even made a sim just for it...unfortunately when I had her search the (hacked) paper, the job was nowhere to be found! I redownloaded, and still no luck...until I noticed two "slacker" careers! Sure enough, one was really this one, complete with awesome custom icon. Everything looks great except, of course, that the job title is still "Slacker" D= Anyone else have this problem or know what might be going on? Thanks so much!

paysites suck.

I thought I eliminated all traces of the slacker career from this. I'll have to go back and look for that.

My wife made the skate icon. Thanks for your kind words.

hrmm strange I used the cheat on the newspaper and I saw the career figure skater just fine. You may have to exit the sims and start it up again, that may clear out the bug.

I love figure skating and I am so excited to download this! I was wondering if there was a way to switch the levels "International Champion" and "National Champion"
(# 6 and 7, I believe, or 7 and 8). As far as I know, people usually achieve nationals before internationals, but in this career they're switched. Thank you!!!!

Sorry it took me a while to respond, my wife was dragging me off to play the sims

To answer your original question, I made "international competitor" come before "nationals champion" because in real life figure skaters are allowed to compete in international skating events even if they are not national champions.

great idea for a career. i just wish that the wages were a bit higher. at least the top 3 levels' wages being in the thousands. that's the only thing keeping me from downloading it.

by the way, there's now a university major that corresponds to this career. The major was created by another user, "eliseluong". You can check out the link here:

At present I'm only playing the sims2. I haven't been able to convince my wife that we need to play sims3 because she doesn't like the look of sims in sims3.
