Gone are the days where your Sims can simply go to the career panel and select a job. With this mod, your sim will have to pass an interview AND have a required degree. Read more below:
This mod introduces:
• An interview system
• A degree requirement system
• An application preparation process
This mod is available for Teens-Elders.
Selecting a Career:
When going to the career panel, your Sim will not be able to select a career until they first pass their interview and have the required degree. This is for every career EXCEPT: Freelance Careers, Actor, Interior Designer, Military. NOTE: For part-time careers, Sims will only need to pass the interview.
⚠️ NOTE: There is a possibility that your playable Sims will lose their careers when you use this mod, even if they have a degree. That is because they technically have not passed their interview, so the game will throw them out of the career until they do so. If you want to cheat this, Shift Click on your Sims and select the “Pass interview” cheat, and then you can add them back to their careers once they have the required degree.
The Interview Process:
Your Sim will be able to do their interview either Virtually (on the computer) or In-Person (they go to a rabbithole). Virtual interviews are shorter than in person interviews. Sims are only allowed to attend an interview, be it virtual or in person, on Mondays-Fridays, between the hours of 9 A.M and 5 P.M.
To be able to attend an interview, your Sim will NEED to:
• E-Mail the Hiring Manager
• Prepare and Submit their Resume and Cover Letter
• Prepare and Submit their Professional References
You can find these interactions under the career panel on the computer.
Succeeding and Failing an Interview:
Your Sim will most likely fail their first interview. When they do, it is ABSOLOUTLEY NECCESSARY that they complete the Follow Up on Past Interview interaction afterwards on the computer. If they don't, your Sim will continue to fail their job interviews! There is no guarantee that they will pass their next interview, but it does give them a chance at succeeding (at least once).
Your Sim will only be able to attend an interview ONCE every three days. After three days, the interaction will be available to them again.
Your Sim will also get a random buff after they pass or fail an interview.
NOTE: If for some reason you want to start the whole interview process over, go to the computer and complete the Withdraw All Applications interaction. This will reset everything.
SimDeed:
This mod introduces the SimDeed job platform where your Sim can find a job/career. The Find a Job interaction is now called Browse Job Openings, and you can find it under the SimDeed submenu on the computer. You can also find the SimDeed menu on phones.
Some things your Sim can do on SimDeed:
• Browse Jobs
• Read SimDeed Exclusive Articles
• Browse Salaries (gives your Sim a random buff)
LlamadIN:
This mod also introduces LlamadIN (like LinkedIn lol) where your Sim can explore an array of job/educational interactions. Your Sim will need to create an account first.
Some things your Sim can do on LlamadIn are:
• Network with Employers
• Pay Expert to Review Resume (§150)
• Practice Courses on LlamadIn Learning
• Study Interview Tips
• Research Educational Articles
• Research Companies
• Message University Alumni for Career Tips (only available for University Students)
This mod does NOT:
• Alter the Career Jump System that came with Discover University
• Alter NPC Jobs (i.e. Stall vendors, Paparazzi)
• Alter Freelance/Gig Careers
• Alter Career Payments
Tips, Cheats & Exceptions
• If you don't want to go through the interview phase, you can SHIFT+CLICK on your Sim and select the Pass Interview Cheat. (If your Sim failed a recent interview, ensure that they complete the Follow up On Past Interview interaction before doing this. Also make sure that you have cheats enabled)
• Try not to queue interactions. Wait until an interaction is complete, so the game recognizes that your Sim did it.
• For elders, LlamadIN does not appear correctly on their phones. I'm still looking into this.
For Modders with Custom Careers:
If you are a modder with a custom career and want to incorporate the Plumjob system into your career, feel free to reach out to me!

I love this mod, but I seldom have time to get my Sims through university. Would you ever consider making an alternate version with just the job application process? I know I can cheat the degree, but it would be cool if prior work experience/life skills could also be a qualification along with degrees. I work in civil service with some people irl who don't have degrees, but they have the experience. Just musing at this point, but thanks for all you do!

Hi, no being a teen isn't the problem since this mod is available to them. Seems like it may be a glitch on your end. Maybe try deleting and reinstalling the mod and see if anything changes. Also make sure you have the required mods and packs needed for this mod.
elle
Hi, thank you, but this mod doesn't affect career payment.
Lucy
hi! whenever i click on the computer to write a resume, it willjust ex off, its this becuase my sim is a teen?
Riley Blanco
You absolutely snapped! 🫶🏽💯 Question...any way to make it so the sims get paid once a week or by weekly?

Hello ! I did the translation for your mod, but there is no string for the French language. Is it possible for you to add it ? :) In the meantime, I published it and told my followers to add the string directly into your mod. Thanks <3

hey, does it conflict with kuttoe career overhaul or zero job finding?

its going public on the 28th.

Danee
Im excited for this
Stephanie
thank you for responding! now off to ask my fav career creators to make them compatible with this, hehe <3 thank you!
Hot Mess Simmer
Thanks for the clarification! That’s what I get for skim reading when I should be working lol
JoJo
THANK YOU for including teens in this mod!

I don't have high school year...ha~

Hey, I’m not sure. When I get word of any conflicts I will update you all.
elle.
Thank you, hope you enjoy! 💗

Hey hun, yes this only works on EA careers and not custom careers. In the description, I added something if modders want to integrate my system into their mods.
elle.
Lolll, thank you! 😭💗
elle.
Thank you! 🫶🏾
elle.
Thanks hun! ☺️

Hi hun, I think you read it incorrectly. Only one degree is required. Two degrees are only if you want to bypass the interview process.
Hot Mess Simmer
I’d love a version of this that required only one degree. Degrees take so long that getting two would be impossible for me since I can only play on Saturdays due to work

This is dope! 🔥🔥🔥
Nikea Castillo
This is just the type of mod I have been looking for!!! So excited to jump in game. Thanks.... Keeping giving us the real mods
Nova Grayson
To quote Troi, who will be here shortly, I'M SCREAMING! Pretty sure you ate & took everyone's crumbs on this mod Elle! 🤍🤍
Stephanie
i dont understand how modding works entirely so dont hate me for asking.... i assume this only works for EA created careers?!

I have an older version of a mod very similar to this one from a few years ago. Must check my legacy folder.
Tia Washington
Girl you are DOPE! Thanks for giving us once again more realistic opportunities for our sims 🩷☺️
Devon Griesbach
This is awesome!! Thank you so much for your hard work.
Cat
Thank you so much!! Fingers crossed, I'd love to use both
Chelsea Derieux
Does it conflict with Kuttoe's career overhaul?
elle.
Hey hun, I'm not sure. It might since I just found out their mod has a degree system as well. When I find out, I will list whether it conflicts or is compatible in the description! 🤍
Cat
This is so cool! Does this conflict with Kuttoe's Career Overhaul since some of the promotion requirements are degrees?
Brianna
Oh I see, that makes sense! Ty for the mod and the response <3
elle.
Hey hun, unfortunately not because that would involve me having to modify a creator's mod, which goes against most of their T.O.U. But I did add something in the description for modders, if they want to incorporate my interview system in their mods.
elle.
Thank you hun! 🤍🥹
elle.
Hope you enjoy! 🤍
elle.
Thanks hun! 🤍
elle.
lol yes! 🤍
Brianna
