The Sims 4: Life And Death expansion pack introduces two new careers: Reaper and Funeral Director. As this new pack is all about the mysterious and macabre, it is no wonder the new careers are all about death! Anyone who wants to find a new vocation in helping other Sims during this difficult time should pursue the Funeral Director career path.
Becoming a Funeral Director in The Sims 4
Sims can find their new career by using a computer or a phone to apply for a new job. On the phone, Sims should click Business and then Find A Job before choosing Funeral Director from the list. To apply via a computer, your Sim should choose Career, then Find A Job and choose your new job from the options.
Like most jobs, your Sim will have to work their way from the bottom before they can become a professional Funeral Director. To make sure your Sim progresses quickly in their chosen career, they should focus on becoming the best employee they can be. This can be achieved in a few ways:
- Complete all daily tasks;
- Go to work happy and healthy;
- Get Excellent rating for Performance;
- Pick the right choices when a work problem pops up.
While your Sim is at work, click on the Sim’s icon and select an option to Work Harder. This will increase their Performance Rating and give them a better chance of promotion.
The Funeral Director career path requires your Sim to brush up on their Thanatology and Fitness skills. Increasing Fitness is easily achieved by doing exercises such as using gym equipment or jogging. Increase your Sim’s Thanatology Skill by reading books, studying online, and going to work in a Deathly Career (including Reaper).
