Postal Service Career (Updated for Patch 1.48.94.1020)
I’m a fan of ordinary jobs with a more realistic pay for my Sims and while I was looking at the Mail Sim delivering my Monday morning bill, I thought it can’t hurt to have a Postal Service career in the game. This is my first attempt at creating a custom career. There aren’t any chance cards just yet, but they’re in the works and the concept is already written down.
This career is a WIP and it’ll have chance cards, more tracks, career outfit and more in the future. So, stay tuned.
This version is English only. German translation is in the works and will be done soon. Any other language translations are welcome. Contact me if you’re interested.
Enjoy and if you come across any issues, let me know.
This career was created, tested and works with patch 1.46.18.1020.
Update 12/31/2018
Fixed the “Unpaid” issue where Sims won’t get paid when coming home from work.
Postal Service Career:
Ever since you were a kid you looked up to the mail man when he brought your favorite toys sent by your grandparents. The mail man was your superhero and you wanted to be just like him. Now as an adult, you’ve got the chance to deliver toys, bills and eviction notes to customers. Keep your mind sharp, stay in shape, smile when necessary and you’re on the way to be the next Postal Service Executive.
