These Sims 4 kits are crammed with create a sim goodies.

However, for Sims who want to enjoy education beyond just college, there is the Education career included in the expansion pack. Your Sim gets to impart their wisdom to the youth with this career, going all the way from a simple substitute teacher all the way up to the very top of the Education career track.


Education Career Overview

The Education career listed when looking for a job

The Education career track allows you Sim to become a teacher, and teach skills to younger Sims. The Education career has two branches to choose from: the Administrator branch, and the Professor branch.

Both branches come with increased pay and more perks. The Administrator branch will earn more Simoleons overall. However, the Professor branch has fewer work hours.


This career is great for Sims who are focused on knowledge, particularly the Research and Debate skill. However, your Sim will need to be good at both Logic and Charisma skills, too.

To join the Education career, go to any computer and click Career, then Find a Job. You will be able to scroll down and find Education, starting as a Substitute Teacher. You can also use your Sim’s phone to get a job under the Business app.

Once you’ve accepted the career, it’s time to get started on your journey in education.

You can also use The Daring Debator Podium Set, but this costs 1,750 Simoleons. It can be found under Activities and Skills > Logic in Buy Mode.

focused mood
. This will increase the rate which they earn the skill at.

Your Sim won’t have to work as hard to level up their Charisma and Logic skills, but don’t neglect them entirely. It’s best to get these leveled up quickly.

Logic skill can be increased by playing on any chessboard, and Charisma can be leveled up by practicing speech in any mirror.

Grading homework is easy. Open up your Sim’s inventory, and you’ll find the Teacher’s Portfolio. Place it anywhere on the lot, click it, and choose Grade Homework.

Once you choose the Administrator branch, you can forget about the Logic skill and focus on leveling up the Research and Debate and Charisma skills only. You will specifically want to level the Research and Debate skill.

Again, these can be done by practicing at a mirror, by Practice Debate or Practice Speech.

Reviewing budget proposals is the other task that is important to getting promoted. You can do this by going to any computer, choose Career, then Education Career, then choose Review Budget Proposals.

How To Get Promoted In Professor Branch

Just like how the Administrator branch gets to stop building the Logic skill, Professor branch Sims no longer have to increase their Charisma skills.

Instead, they should spend their free time playing chess to increase their Logic skill, and continue to practice debating. This will make it much easier to advance in their career.

Professor Sims will also need to write scholarly papers to get promoted. This can be done by going to any computer, choosing Career, then Education Career, then choosing Write Scholarly Paper.

This task will only take one or two Sim hours to complete, so it’s best to do it every day.


It helps to be in a focused mood when trying to level up Logic skills and write scholarly papers. Try enabling some emotional auras with your items to induce this mood.
