Introduction

Your Sim needs to be very active for this career, as it'll always cost a lot of energy. You'll need 11 friends to get to the top, and the Charisma, Body and Creativity skills are the most important - you won't need to train any skill to the max though. You'll make enough money for a living without too much trouble. However, if you want to earn the big cash you shouldn't go for this: it's tiring and in the end doesn't reward as much as some other careers do. Your motives will decrease fast when you're at work. The good thing is working hours are steady. The first change in times is when you get promoted to Treasure Hunter.

1. Daredevil

"You've turned a bar bet into the foundation of an extreme career. In short, you'll try anything--the crazier the better. Swim under the surface of a frozen lake, leap between rooftops with a bicycle, beat a train to a crossing, juggle a chainsaw while whistling "Dixie". Your work day is short, but intense."

3. Whitewater Guide

5. Bush Pilot

"Piloting that antique plane of yours demands some serious mechanical skills if you're going to safely dive through dense cloud cover and land on dangerous terrain. And you'd better be in great physical condition in case you can't get out the same way you got in. Of course, the danger does yield high pay."

7. Photojournalist

"Creative skills will help you here. Work time is divided between taking photos and writing articles at the Sim Times newspaper office. You need to make sure you allow enough time to write without social distractions, in order to meet deadlines and collect a nice fat fee. Maybe you should practice charisma. Who knows when you may be called upon to narrate your photos?"
