Introduction

The Fashion career is exactly for those Sims that have an eye for fashion, and can predict what will be hot and what will be not every summer in SimCity. This career doesn't have anything to do with the Superstar Fashion (Fame) career. The first 5 jobs have pretty steady hours. A Painter's Model has to work just 3 hours a day too, which is the least in any job. In the second half of this career you'll have to work late shifts a lot, but you'll earn enough money to make a living. You can earn up to §1350 per day. Don't expect the job to be easy, as you need the talent and the energy. Work hard on your Charisma and Body skills to work your way to the top, but don't forget the other skills as well. Less smart Sims will be able to get to the top too, as you don't need any logic skill at all. No chess playing for models!

Work on your stamina, your diction, and your artistic sense, and you'll never go out of style."

"At last, some real power! The only thing better than wearing the outfits yourself is criticizing how others wear them. You decide what is hot and what is not by sewing your thread of fashion propaganda. Your weekly column in The SimCity Times is the final word on fads. No one spins a yarn like you do."
