The Sims 4 career cheats will help with the very real-life need to earn money and keep the bills paid, the fridge stocked with food, or your utilities in working order. So, it's very likely your Sim will embark on a career to earn those Simoleons. But again, like life as we know it, holding down your job is hard and getting promoted can be even harder. In The Sims 4 you need to level up certain skills and carry out certain tasks even when your shift has ended. But, what if you don't want to do that? Well, that's where these Sims 4 career cheats come in.
