Hello there, my simmer! I hope you’re having a great time with your simming!
Indeed, you read it correctly. Welcome! Let’s dive into the exciting world of Sims 4 Criminal Careers.
The criminal career is an enjoyable profession in The Sims 4.
Here’s a guide to help players maximize their experience and ensure that every moment is meaningful.
At some point, every player may consider the idea of bending the rules and exploring a different path.
The Sims 4 offers the opportunity to pursue a “Criminal Career,” allowing players to fulfill their desires.
While it may not offer the same level of satisfaction as other professions in the game, promotion bonuses more than make up for it.
This blog aims to provide a comprehensive guide to the criminal career in The Sims 4. It will cover various aspects such as ranks, necessary skills, and strategies to maximize its potential.
How can I choose a Criminal Career in Sims 4?
First, open the phone and select the “Find a Job” option. Next, locate the “Criminal” option among the choices and give it a click.
In addition, players have the option to access the career panel located at the bottom of their screens to choose this career path.
Benefits for Bosses and Oracles
The Sims 4’s Criminal Career Rewards your Sim for their mischievous behavior.
You have the option to either become a Crime Boss, lead a gang, or explore the Oracle Branch to further your knowledge of Hacking and internet crimes.
The top qualities may vary, but the most recommended goals are Public Enemy or Chief of Mischief.
Both of these options grant the Dastardly Bonus Trait, which greatly enhances mischief interactions and provides a solid foundation for starting a career.
Job Levels in Criminal Career and Career Unlocks
One effective method for leveling up the Mischief Skill is to reach Level 2 and engage in some playful mischief on the forums.
This offers consistent progress, unlike relying on interactions with other Sims.
It’s a good idea to choose your branch early so that you can begin developing the necessary skills before you start working in that field.

I guess it may increase the chances of a bank heist happening while at work, but I haven’t personally experienced this.
