The Interior Decorator Career is made up of gigs, by completing gigs’ you will earn promotions and will unlock more gigs. The gigs start off as room renovations, at level 3 you will unlock level renovations (this means you will re0design the whole level of the house), level 5 will unlock adding additional rooms then at level 9 you will unlock level additions (this means you will be asked to add a whole new level to the house). There are two options when you start a gig either ‘Go to Work’ or ‘Send Alone’, If you ‘Send Alone’ no work will be completed although you will gain experience for promotions and your sim will disappear into rabbit hole. If you ‘Go to Work’ then you will travel to the clients home, this is a very involved process and can take a long time though is incredibly glitchy (see below for details). Below is also listed the steps that will be needed to complete the gig.
Tip ~ You can chose to play the game and give the sims what they want or you can go around and delete everything from the homes make a mess and the sims wont really be mad. It takes a lot for them to dislike your work. I live streamed this on release night, I took a job deleted EVERYTHING in the house and placed 3 balls of yarn and 2 of the 3 sims liked the work I did.
Tip ~ Unless the gig states a pacific room then you can choose which you want
Tip ~ at level 9 you unlock ‘write interior design article’ on the computer this disappeared for me.
Tip ~ sims sometimes don’t go to the renovated room, if this doesn’t happen click on the floor and chose ‘check this out’ the clients will go there
Tip ~ during gameplay I experienced the screen going white this was mainly when entering buy mode.
Tip ~ I have heard of sims getting stuck in the roofs however I did not experience this
Tip ~ At level 8 you will be able to renovate Community lots.
Tip ~ Although no skills are needed to progress you will gain Photography and Charisma Through gameplay, on a personal note i think this is a better way of sims earning skills for their careers.
Tip ~ the is a high intensity career which will require focus and time to complete.
