Not really. I didn't make the post too clear the $2306 is what a Stylist gets for a weekly stipend at level 10. Level 9 and level 10 hourly careers nearly average 2-3 times more in a week. And sims in level 1, 2, 3 PT careers can make 1 1/2 to 4 times more than sims in Professions at those levels.MissPatTS3 wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 4:29 pmWow, that's some serious money!

sittingbear: Not really. [...] Sometimes I wonder if the really high pensions sims in the Professions get is compensation for having such crappy pay.

The Self Employed fall under far different category they don't pensions or a paycheck as the money they get is based on the things they make with their skills. But then considering with a high skill level they can make a few thousand in just a few hours if their motivated enough. The Self Employed and the Professionals are not the same.
Do you know if there is an exhaustive list of the self-employed careers somewhere? That would help a lot to grasp the complexity of that term and what exactly it entails. I've been calling them "skill careers" because to me, they are mostly focused on skilling up and earning income fromsittingbear wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 10:03 pmThe Self Employed fall under far different category they don't pensions or a paycheck as the money they get is based on the things they make with their skills.
Right - I need to "wiki" a breakdown of these differences. It gets confusing in my spreadsheet notes, I usually have been going by the shortcut "[Career Name here] SE" to mean "self-employed career" but obviously it doesn't do much in terms of clarity vis-à-vis whether the career is a profession or a skill career.sittingbear wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 10:03 pm[...] The game 3 types of careers:
The regular rabbithole careers that get paid everyday.
The Professions (like the Ambitions, Showtime, Lifeguard and Daycare) that get a weekly stipend or salary.
The Self Employed who make money from their skills.
The game refers to the Ambitions, Showtime, Lifeguard and Daycare as Active Careers you could try that.MissPatTS3 wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 10:42 pmAMB" to all the professions like Showtime, Lifeguard, Daycare that have a similar type of gameplay. But of course that's only going to lead to more confusion since they are not, per say, Ambition professions.
Not sure what's happening there I took a peek at the code inside the module and didn't see a weekly stipend. I did see a one time cash reward for reaching a higher level.MissPatTS3 wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 10:50 pmNraas Careers mod, "Self Employed Careers" module does give a weekly stipend

Ahhh ok! That's where my confusion came from. To me, cash reward linked to higher career level = weekly stipend.sittingbear wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 11:09 pmI took a peek at the code inside the [Self Employed Careers] module and [did] see a one time cash reward for reaching a higher level.
Actually they have a Wake Time, Start Time and Day length just like a rabbithole career. And their also on Call meaning if a job pops up say a ghost haunting for the Ghost Hunter even if it's outside their normal working hours they have to respond to it.MissPatTS3 wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 11:25 pmsittingbear wrote: ↑November 17th, 2019, 11:09 pmThe game refers to the Ambitions, Showtime, Lifeguard and Daycare as Active Careers you could try that.
- The way I see it, the careers you mentioned above are "actively" played to achieve career performance boosts and promotions: no strict RH office hours, interactions with other residents or objects like the trash, etc.
So the term "active careers" does not seem to eliminate the confusion... I'm headed to Thesaurus.
