Keep in mind that some of these careers are linked to Expansion Packs and won't be available within the base Sims 4 game. You can also try the following cheats for quality-of-life additions:
- careers.add_carreer {insert career name here}
- careers.remove_career {insert career name here}
- careers.retire {insert career name here}
- Sims.modify_career_outift_in_cas {unique ID for your Sim}
The last two commands can be used to retire (receiving a pension in the process) and change outfits respectively.
