Among the more traditional professions in The Sims 4, the Business career closely resembles a 9-5 job. Sims climb the career ladder by pursuing two career paths - either investing their Simoleons and playing the financial markets as an Investor or investing in their team as a Manager instead.
Both career paths in the Business career in The Sims 4 offer pleasant salaries and relatively easy promotion opportunities. This means that Sims in both branches of the Business career will live comfortably in exchange for their long 40-hour work weeks. Here is everything you need to know about the Business career in The Sims 4.
Business Career Overview
Manage Or Invest: Choose Between Management Or Investor Career Paths
In The Sims 4, the Business career is one of the more lucrative career options in the base game. Starting your career in the mailroom, you have the opportunity to improve two key skills and utilize these efforts to earn promotions.
You choose your career path at level seven in the Business career. The two paths in the Business career in The Sims 4 are:
- Investors, who seek to play the Stock Market and use their strength with numbers to earn, invest, and earn some more.
- Management, who work most directly with the people in the company and rely on their people skills.
Unlike many other careers in The Sims 4, the Business career requires Charisma and Logic regardless of the chosen branch.
The only difference is which skills you need to maximize. Investors focus on their Logic skill, while Managers rely on their Charisma skill.
Regardless of which skill is not the main skill of your branch, you still need to level it up to level eight. So, you will have to work sufficiently on both skills.
Helpful Traits And Moods For The Business Career
An interesting division between focused traits and interpersonal traits: The Business career in The Sims 4 benefits from a variety of different traits.
Since both Charisma and Logic are required, it is helpful to be both outgoing and genius to assist in building these skills. Geniuses learn Logic faster, while Charisma comes more naturally to outgoing Sims.
