Client traits

The client traits do have an effect on the outcome of a finished job. Taking an advantage of them should give you a good evaluation at the end of the job.

Doctor

Firefighter

A firefighter sim in middle of duty.

Now with Ambitions, sims can enter the exciting world of firefighting. From extingishing small household fires to rescuing lives from a quake demolition.

Sims with the Brave or Daredevil trait will have an easier time when facing off the blazes. Also a high level of Athletic and Handiness skills will help your sim at field work and equipment maintenance.

Performance boosters

• Emergencies: Attending to emergency calls. When sims finish them successfully they get the most profession performance increment.
• Skills: Training both the Athletic and the Handiness skills. Gives performance boost gradually while learning the skill.
• Coworkers: Making friends with fellow firefighters. (?)

Levels

City Hall rewards

• Trophy "Honor": Rescue 2 sims from fire.
• Medal "Protection": Success in 'X-ray disaster'.

Unique interactions

• Friendly -> Tell firefighting story.
• Romantic -> I'm a firefighter.

Emergencies

Emergencies show themselves suddenly while at the fire department, and should be attended by clicking on one of the fire alarms that are evenly distributed there. Once an emergency arises, time starts counting, and depending both on how much time do you spend at taking over it and the type of emergency, you get a different grade. Getting a better grade grants a big increase in your profession performance.

Failing occurs when not attending the job, aborting current emergency, or all the affected sims die.

Small household fire

Breaking thru a door.

In this type of emergency, your sim must go to another household and extingish a small fire, usually centered around the oven. If got there early, the fire normally doesn't extend more than six floor tiles. This should'n be a big deal, even by sims without the brave trait.

Large household fire

This is more serious than the above. The fire usually starts at a household more than one floor high and with two or more sims trapped in.

The fire now extends though the multiple floors and even over windows and doors, and you must enter in and convince the scared sims to run out of the house (screaming still 10 inches from flames isn't very intelligent)

In this type of fire, most the doors are usually stuck. This is indicated as a pair of axe icons swinging around the affected door. Actually, all the fires at the windows must be extinguished before your sim can smash down the main door. If the firefighter sim has a low Athletic skill, he or she will usually do several worthless tries in breaking it.

This type of emergency is finished when all the sims are rescued and all the flames extinguished.

Disaster in building

The fire appears in a community lot with a 'rabbit hole' building in it. There are a few sims around scared about something, but when zooming out the camera the building seems normal.

To manage this type or incident, the firefighter only has to be ordered to enter the building and take care of it. Then the sim dissapears in the building for about 2 game hours and leaves it succeding in the mission.

X-ray disaster

Appears at the hospital. When viewed at distance there are several yellow lightnings hitting the top antennae, and a lot of blue static electricity swirling around the walls.

There is no difference with 'Disaster in building'. The sim has to be ordered to enter the building and manage it. It takes about 1.75 game hours to complete the task.

Angry Gnome Invasion

This emergency requires the firefighter to locate and catch a variety of Mysterious Mr Gnome that has red eyes and spouts shining %$@# symbols from its body.

Equipment maintenance

Fire truck

The fire truck has a performance value that slowly drops over time. Your sim should take care of it regularly by selecting the appropiate interaction on the truck. If the truck's maintenance percentage is very low, its speed will drop notably.

If the sim has a high Handiness skill (level 5 or higher), he or she can be ordered to upgrade the truck. Up to 3 upgrades can be made. Upgrading it makes it faster, so you can get better grades from start.

Fire alarm

As with the truck, the alarm has a performance or quality percentage that slowly diminishes over time. A bad mantained alarm takes more time to "detect" an emergency, making your firefighter to get a bad grade from start, and also will ring like smashing scrap.

With a Handiness skill of level 6 or more (?), a sim can make the 'Improved fire alarm' unique upgrade. In-game descriptions states that it responds faster to emergencies.

Fire extinguisher

When reaching level 6 or more of Handiness, clicking on a firefighter sim the 'Improve extinguisher' interaction is shown. The upgraded extingisher sprays with orange foam, and douses a fire tile significantly faster.

Ghost Hunter

Ghosts are freaking out sims, so here come the Ghost Hunters. With their incredible ghost-kicking technologies, they get wights and spirits out of the community quickly and securely.

Sims with the Brave or Childish trait will perform better at this, as ghosts don't scare them. A high level in the Logic skill will also help them catch those annoying spirits faster.

Performance boosters

• Investigation: Investigate Paranormal Activity.
• Spirits: Collect Spirits.
• Logic: Logic Skill.

Levels

City Hall rewards

• Spooky Trophy: Catch 15 spirits.
• Ghost Hunter's Spirit Medal: Deal with 7 Paranormal Investigations.
• Ghost Hunter's Paranormal Medal: Catch 75 spirits.
• Ghost Hunter's Bravery Ribbon: Catch 150 spirits.
• Ghost Hunter's Key to the Town: Reach level 10.
• Paranormal Memento: Catch 25 spirits at level 10.

Unique interactions

• Friendly -> Show Off Banshee Banisher.
• Friendly -> Tell Amazing Ghost Story.

Jobs

Spirit invasion

A spirit!.

This job consists of catching some group of spirits that are scaring a family. The spirits aren't the familiar ghosts introduced in the original Sims 3, but a new type of paranormal creature. These are colorful semi-humanoid beings that continuously disappear and reappear by the lot.

Each spirit has a color and an age. Both characteristics give them an economic value that you may exploit (see Soul selling). The job is finished when all the spirits are trapped in the capsules that the exiliator produces.

Poltergeist Haunting

Some of the appliances and furniture of a house are possessed by spirits, and you must stop them. It is easier than the spirit invasion, since they don't teleport continuously. The only thing to do is to use the banshee banisher on every affected item to exorcise them.

In the case of failing in the use of the banshee banisher, the spirit effectively exits the current item and slips to a nearby one. Too bad this takes some time, but actually it is the only apparent difficulty in this type of job.

The job is done when all items are exorcised.

Paranormal investigation

Ghostly presence

One of the hardest jobs, appearing only at level 5 or higher of this profession (after receiving the Spook-o-meter), your ghost hunter must use the Spook-o-meter room by room until all the ghosts become visible. If there are no ghosts in the current room, a game message should give a little clue about how far one is from the current location.

Don't expect to have an encounter here with those gassy shapeless spirits. The ghosts in these missions are dead sims with full names that died in the distant past. You may encounter medieval knights, cute princesses, or even stone age sims!

There are two ways to make these ghosts leave. The first way is to gain their friendship by 'Calming about beloved ones' and 'Talking about full afterlife', and then 'Convince for getting off'. Otherwise, simply use the Banshee Banisher on them, but it will usually take some time.

The job finishes when all the ghosts have been convinced or taken away.

Angry ghosts invasion

This is similar to the previous job, but ghosts are visible from the start. They are scaring sims and using house appliances.

Apart form that, this job is the same as above. Actually it is easier, as the ghost hunter doesn't have to spend time searching them.

Spirit Selling

Concealed spirits may be sold for a small profit at the science facility or directly from the inventory window (the pay is minor). They can also be used as decoration or transfigured using the Carter's Display Case from World Adventures.

The price is calculated both on the type of spirit and their age as follows:

If the spirit has just been captured, its economic value is 66% higher than the corresponding value in the table. Its worth slowly depreciates over time to the corresponding base value.
