Choosing a Career

I used to give my sims any job I wanted them to have, whether or not is was suited for that sim. I also used to give them the job of their LTW, wich sometimes really didn't fit that specific sim. I tried giving them the the job they rolled, but since I don't think an art-degree is suitable if you want to be a doctor, I had to start looking for another way to give my sims jobs.

And so I found this amazing system for choosing careers that Apple Valley created for Maxis careerd, and that Sullivan sims adjusted for custom careers, and I love it! I've been using it ever since, and it's been a great help.
I use the exact same system those amazing bloggers created, with some really minor adjustments. I use it for my teens, young adults and new adults. This means that sims who already had jobs before I started using this system, might not be in the right career for them, but I'm not going to change every sims' career.

As said this list is merely a copy/paste-job from the others, but I wanted it all on one page.
