In The Sims 3, children don't need a babysitter's supervision. They can be hired at any time by phone. Nannies are available in The Sims 2 and The Sims 4 while babysitters are in The Sims 3. A Sim can choose to hire the nanny or babysitter on a one-time only basis. I also noted the teen babysitter career in TS4 where the 'nanny' rank makes 40/hr. I averaged those 3 numbers and came up with 24 and rounded it off to 25/hr as my 'base pay.' -I decided that the base pay would cover 1 child and there would be an additional fee.
To become a fortune teller, you have to click the Gypsy Wagon and you will be given the option to join the fortune teller career. Finding the Gypsy wagon The Gypsy wagon is added to the game with the 'Supernatural' expansion pack.
The world that comes with the expansion pack, Moonlight Falles, has the lot with the Gypsy Wagon, but with any other world you have to add it to the town manually. To do this go to 'Edit town', and then find a suitable community lot (does not have to be big) and edit the lot. Within the lot, go to the Build mode and find the Gypsy wagon there and add it to the lot.
To be able to get promotions and advance in this career easier, it is wise to choose certain traits and skills for your Sim. Most of these traits and skills are needed for the Psychic path rather than the Scam artist path (to choose once you reach level 5) Traits. Charismatic: making friends is important to advance in the career (Psychic path).
Friendly: again, good for making friends quickly (Psychic path) Skills. Charisma: in this career you have to interact with Sims a lot, as in and outside of working hours you have to perform readings on the Sims.
Also for this career you will have to make lots of friends. The charisma trait is a handy trait as it can help you to make friends and to have Sims trust you (and your readings). (mostly for the Psychic path). The first 5 levels are the same in the career and mostly involve performing hand readings on Sims (available from level 2 promotion) and attending to normal working hours (inside the gypsy wagon). You will be paid for your regular working hours but also for the private readings you do on Sims. The working hours are short (you start in the afternoon and work until early night), which gives you time to ask Sims to do private hand readings. Level 1 - Horoscope reader - Salary 68 Simoleons Level 2 - Prediction guesser - 120 Simoleons Level 3 - Vague visionary - 200 Simoleons Level 4 - Hand reader - 228 Simoleons Level 5 - Metaphysical predictor - 288 Simoleons After level 5 you have to choose between two different paths:.
Psychic. Scam artist.
Of the two paths you can choose, this path requires both a lot of friends and the alchemy skill needs improvent. Funny enough, this path does not pay more in the end and the working hours are the same in any of the two paths you choose. The only advantage of this path is that you will obtain a 20% discount in the potion shop. Level 6 - Performing cheap tricks - 378 Simoleons Level 7 - Spiritual guide - 400 Simoleons Level 8 - Traveler in space and time - 590 Simoleons Level 9 - Handing out faiths - 828 Simoleons Level 10 - Master of the Mystical - 1800 Simoleons. Hand readings (or rather face readings) can be performed on any Sim when you reach level 2 in the fortune teller career.
Per Sim you can only perform a hand reading once per 8 hours. What you earn per reading is very much depending on whether the Sim thinks it is a bad reading (15 Simoleons) or a great reading (150 Simoleons). Even in the higher levels in the career you will still have a 60% chance that the reading is seen as a bad one.
Start doing the readings early on as in the later levels of the career (in both paths) you will need a lot before advancing to the next level.

Does anyone else do 'fake jobs' to make TS4 work life more interesting? I looked up rates for real life live-in nannies and moved my YA female sim into the Villareal mansion, taking the spare bedroom upstairs. Since she was technically part of the household, I completely ignored the household funds and kept track (wrote it on paper) of her 'balance.' I would keep track of how many hours she worked and using the average hourly rate I found online, I would add in her earnings to her balance (on my paper) at the end of each day. Sometimes I would buy new things for her room or her inventory, so I would then deduct the cost of those items from her balance so that the Villareals weren't paying for her items (other than the initial room furniture that was there). I moved her to new families every now and then to keep it interesting, all the while having her build skills in her spare time for a career someday. Eventually I got her a house of her own!
She 'quit' nannying after quite some time and began her career with all of the skills she had built. At that point, I also added her 'balance' from my paper into her household funds using the money cheat. It wasnt really complicated at all, it's a little extra effort and I found it really fun!
I'm now thinking of having a file with an in-home daycare. Doing a 'modifyrelationship' cheat, inviting 3 or 4 toddlers over every morning for however long I want to stay open, and then cheating myself the money I 'earn' - charging the average hourly daycare rate per toddler. I saw this daycare idea from someone else on the forums and I'm so excited to try it out!
Do you guys do 'fake careers' or just stick to what TS4 has? Share your experience! Edit: just to add this detail - when i did the nanny thing, i left autonomy on and ONLY controlled my sim.
Well I have a very dramtic legacy and in at least 4 different cases (two in one generation, and one in a later one and another one in a future generation) has a Cinderella circumstance Whats the Cinderella circumstance?? Depends on which generation of the legacy one's on. In Gen 2 there are two girl triplets and one boy triplet Girl 1 is spoiled and makes Girl 2 triplet do all the work (espically after they;re teens). But karma bites Girl 1 and after (Event) Girl 1 has to be the servant (for an entire different set of people). The heiress who is the niece of Girl 1&2 above is an an 'aggressive' relationship and because everyone thinks she's a thief she was forced to move into her boyfriend's parents' place and in exchange she's suppose to do the chores.
In Gen 6 (I'm only finishing up Gen 4 at the moment) her parents (Gen 5) are forced to giver Selene away since of a one-child policy in (Town) and she will be given to her distant cousin and their spouse and when Cousin who is related to her passes away cousin-by-marriage will remarry and then they (not the cousin by marriage's spouse but the Cousin by marriage) will pass away leaving the fomerly new spouse of cousin by marriage having an 'extra mouth to feed' and insisting that Selene do the work. Iroincally she will be living in the same basement that her great-great Aunt Carly lived in as a servant and also where her great-grandma lived briefly for awhile when she was in hiding.
I love this so much! I love playing poor, struggling sims. There's a sense of accomplishment every time they can afford something new. Even if it's a counter lol.
Just about everything gives them too much money. I haven't really explored the possibilities with TS4 yet. But in TS3, I'd give them part time jobs, but even that makes too much.
I used to use (and still do) family funds cheat to deduct for things that the game provides free of charge like taxi rides. I'd make my own jams, but deduct weekly the cost of the toast and scones. My sims all grow what they intend to eat, but they still have weekly grocery costs for toilet paper, condiments, and other cooking supplies.
But never once did I think about making my own 'job' and I love the thought of that. I just made my sims Good so I could donate the excess funds. A whole new world of possibilities just opened up!

You sound like me! I used to do the same thing in ts3 and even ts4! I wouldnt always play as a poor person but i would pay back the starting funds plus interest, pay travel expenses, groceries, pay for diapers & bottles and tally off every bottle feed & diaper change to see when I'd have to buy more lol.
It was all fake and imaginary but makes it so much more life-like. Creating your own job, whether it be the one I did or even something like a daily maid you can make a low amount! And I find that sims jobs pay much more than RL jobs, so if you just Google what the RL job pays and pay that to your sim, youll probably find that it is painfully realistic! Especially with all of your deductions! I sure will let you know, and thank you so much for sharing this brilliant idea. It has got me so excited about my current game as it will fit in perfectly with my current sim. I just have to wait til I play tonight to find out if she is pregnant or not, cos if she is then that will kind of ruin it.
I might just go back to a previous save if she turns out to be pregnant cos I now have a whole heap of things mapped out for her in my head to do with this nanny idea (yes, I was awake at 2 am this morning planning her life out in my head lol - it's a long time since I had such enthusiasm for ts4 so I am sending you cookies and hugs). I totally did that! Mine was a live-in maid, or more like a butler.
I only had one sim in my household (she was a teen with always welcomed reward, didn't go to school ever). I made my balance 0 and give her a very cute butler outfit, with gloves and all, then headed to the richest neighbor and kinda started to live there. I put a little room in their house(with cheats). She made all meals, gave them massages, fix things, help kids with homeworks ect.
Her other outfits were poor looking and she had a day off on sundays I guess. She couldn't eat what she made for them and couldn't use upstairs bathrooms I remember earning very little money maybe 50 simoleons a day so she sold collectibles on her little rug on her day off to earn more. It was a miserable life and very fun to play And she made enuogh money to live on her own until becoming young adult. She made herself a birthday cake, blowed the candles and quit the job to find a real one. Just as an aside to this topic. I have always pretty much used a played sim to do some service sims instead of using the in-game ones. If my main sim had a big gathering - party birthday, etc.
Afterward, I would rotate to my 'maid' sim and then visit and cleanup. Same with repair sims, gardening sims, etc. Oh, that sounds like a lot of loading screens! I have a live-in nanny.
She's the only one that I just cheated maxed all her skills at so she can do the repair work, gardening, cleaning, and taking care of the kids. I do have to balance the time that the parents have with the kids also so they have a decent relationship bar with them but usually, when my sim parents come home from work, the nanny is relieved of her duties.

Hehe, indeed. Though it did make for some interesting play as you are playing a sim with all that comes with it. I made a kleptomaniac maid that was fun.
My repair guy upgraded everything in his house from the parts he got from his 'clients'. For live in service sims, I had a whole wing dedicated to them when I was running a mansion household that contained 25 sims (modded game)! I sure will let you know, and thank you so much for sharing this brilliant idea. It has got me so excited about my current game as it will fit in perfectly with my current sim.

Lol i love when people share challenges or differsnt styles of gameplay, it really spices things up! Yeah the only issue i see with the live-in nanny is having your own household. Since you are part of theirs. But im thinking ill just visit the household daily and care for the kids (although idk if ill get a 'that is inappropriate' type of thing using their house, etc) and be a live-out nanny when im ready for my own home and household.
Something to think on! I totally did that! Mine was a live-in maid, or more like a butler. I only had one sim in my household (she was a teen with always welcomed reward, didn't go to school ever).

Thatd be awesome! Just as an aside to this topic. I have always pretty much used a played sim to do some service sims instead of using the in-game ones.

I'm starting my sims nanny career tonight - this is the sim, her name is Claire. She is really sweet and loves painting (I might also get her going in photography too), at the moment she lives with her really jealous husband who is giving her a hard time.
They have a shabby flat in San Myshuno. They are going to end up getting divorced and he will throw her out onto the street.
Then she will be fortunate enough to get a job as a nanny with the Bjergsens in Windenburg, where she will start her career looking after one toddler and little Elsa and will be amazed at her good fortune for getting to live in a luxurious house! When I am bored of that family, I will move her in with someone else. I plan on giving her loads of toddlers to look after in her career! And I just bought Vampires, so I plan on her unwittingly getting a job with a slightly strange family in a spooky old town at some point. It will be great, as I can experience the fun of kids and toddlers and move her from town to town so I get lots of different play.
