The latest expansion pack for The Sims 4, titled Life and Death, introduces two intriguing career options: the Reaper and the Funeral Director. Reflecting the themes of the expansion, these roles delve deeply into the enigmatic aspects of mortality. If you are keen on supporting other Sims through their challenging moments, a vocation as a Funeral Director might be an ideal choice.
How to Become a Funeral Director in The Sims 4
To embark on this new career path, Sims can utilize either a computer or a phone. Using the phone, simply select the Business option, then click on Find A Job and choose the Funeral Director position from the available listings. Alternatively, accessing a computer involves selecting the Career tab and then Find A Job to view the new employment options.
Just like in most professions, Sims must start from the entry-level positions of the Funeral Director career. To quicken advancement, it’s essential for players to ensure that their Sims become exemplary employees. Here are some strategies to achieve this:
- Complete all daily tasks diligently;
- Attend work in a positive and healthy state;
- Aim for an Excellent Performance rating;
- Make wise decisions when challenges arise at work.
To further enhance their performance while on the job, instruct your Sim to click on their avatar and select the option to Work Harder. This action will help to elevate their Performance Rating, increasing the likelihood of promotions.
Aspiring Funeral Directors should develop their Thanatology and Fitness skills. Fitness can be easily improved through activities like jogging or gym workouts. To boost Thanatology skills, Sims can read relevant literature, study online resources, or work in roles related to death, including that of the Reaper.
