In The Sims 4, players have access to a wide range of career options that offer opportunities for career growth and advancement. Sims can work hard and build up their skills to achieve promotion to the highest levels of their careers. However, this approach may not reflect the reality of the unpredictable nature of career progression in real life, where unexpected events and setbacks can occur. While it was already possible for Sims to be demoted or even fired, these events were relatively rare and required specific actions by the player.
