Download: PLUMJOB: a career overhaul

✅ July 4, 2026: This mod is compatible with the latest game version.

REQUIREMENTS: 
XML Injector by SCUMBUMBO
EP08: Discover University
EP01: Get to Work
EP12: High School Years

Gone are the days where your Sims can simply go to the career panel and select a job. With this mod, your sim will have to pass an interview AND have a required degree. Read more below:

This mod introduces:

•  An interview system
•  A degree requirement system
•  An application preparation process

This mod is available for Teens-Elders.

Selecting a Career:

When going to the career panel, your Sim will not be able to select a career until they first pass their interview and have the required degree. This is for every career EXCEPT: Freelance Careers, Actor, Interior Designer, Military. NOTE: For part-time careers, Sims will only need to pass the interview.

⚠️ NOTE:  There is a possibility that your playable Sims will lose their careers when you use this mod, even if they have a degree. That is because they technically have not passed their interview, so the game will throw them out of the career until they do so. If you want to cheat this, Shift Click on your Sims and select the “Pass interview” cheat, and then you can add them back to their careers once they have the required degree.

The Interview Process:
Your Sim will be able to do their interview either Virtually (on the computer) or In-Person (they go to a rabbithole). Virtual interviews are shorter than in person interviews. Sims are only allowed to attend an interview, be it virtual or in person, on Mondays-Fridays, between the hours of 9 A.M and 5 P.M.

To be able to attend an interview, your Sim will NEED to:

•  E-Mail the Hiring Manager
• Prepare and Submit their Resume and Cover Letter
• Prepare and Submit their Professional References

You can find these interactions under the career panel on the computer.

Succeeding and Failing an Interview:
Your Sim will most likely fail their first interview. When they do, it is ABSOLOUTLEY NECCESSARY that they complete the Follow Up on Past Interview interaction afterwards on the computer. If they don't, your Sim will continue to fail their job interviews! There is no guarantee that they will pass their next interview, but it does give them a chance at succeeding (at least once).

Your Sim will only be able to attend an interview ONCE every three days. After three days, the interaction will be available to them again.

Your Sim will also get a random buff after they pass or fail an interview.

NOTE: If for some reason you want to start the whole interview process over, go to the computer and complete the Withdraw All Applications interaction. This will reset everything.

SimDeed:
This mod introduces the SimDeed job platform where your Sim can find a job/career. The Find a Job interaction is now called Browse Job Openings, and you can find it under the SimDeed submenu on the computer. You can also find the SimDeed menu on phones.

 
Some things your Sim can do on SimDeed:

•  Browse Jobs
• Read SimDeed Exclusive Articles
• Browse Salaries (gives your Sim a random buff)

LlamadIN:
This mod also introduces LlamadIN (like LinkedIn lol) where your Sim can explore an array of job/educational interactions. Your Sim will need to create an account first.

Some things your Sim can do on LlamadIn are:

•  Network with Employers
• Pay Expert to Review Resume (§150)
• Practice Courses on LlamadIn Learning
• Study Interview Tips
• Research Educational Articles
• Research Companies
• Message University Alumni for Career Tips (only available for University Students)

This mod does NOT:

• Alter the Career Jump System that came with Discover University
• Alter NPC Jobs (i.e. Stall vendors, Paparazzi)
• Alter Freelance/Gig Careers
• Alter Career Payments

Tips, Cheats & Exceptions

• If you don't want to go through the interview phase, you can SHIFT+CLICK on your Sim and select the Pass Interview Cheat. (If your Sim failed a recent interview, ensure that they complete the Follow up On Past Interview interaction before doing this. Also make sure that you have cheats enabled)
• Try not to queue interactions. Wait until an interaction is complete, so the game recognizes that your Sim did it.
• For elders, LlamadIN does not appear correctly on their phones. I'm still looking into this.

For Modders with Custom Careers:
If you are a modder with a custom career and want to incorporate the Plumjob system into your career, feel free to reach out to me!


hope you all enjoy,

I'm unable to download the nocareerimpact version as it leads to a notion site without a download option for me, is this supposed to happen and I'm missing something or is something wrong?? Wanted to use that version so I can use Zero's career rework along with it incase they conflict

I
Its Beng · July 18, 2026

Really cool concept, but there are a lot more careers that don't require a degree realistically, if the aim is realism. The ones I bump into the most are things like painter, entertainer, writer, athlete, etc. It would be more realistic to have things like that require skill levels, and of course the degree is still an option, but not a requirement.

I
Its Beng · July 18, 2026

Another point is that in those careers, it's not even people with degrees that are the most successful. It's those with talent and skill.

K
Karina · July 16, 2026

Has anyone successfully passed an interview without using the cheat?? I haven't been able to so far..

Sonja Kukkonen · July 9, 2026

I like the realism in this mod, but it's quite confusing, that you don't apply for the job to start the hiring process, but just random interviews and stuff.

T
Teapressed · July 3, 2026

is there a possibiltity to make the mod only get applied for the currently played sim so that unplayed sims wont loose their careers ?

Hi! I'm just having a problem with the mod, where under the career panel on a computer, it won't show the options of emailing the hiring manager which means I can't even begin the interviewing process. I also tried to skip the interview process but that button doesn't show as well. I have all the mods and packs needed for this, ive reinstalled it and xml injector but it still won't show... is there any recommendations for what to do?

Hello I really like your mod but i think it conflicts with Zerbu's turbo career mod :( Zerbu's mod indicates that it will conflict with any mod that alters the base career files. Do you think you can find a way around this? I need my sim to be able to work in an office.

Manon B · October 7, 2025

Hello ! I really love the challenge aspect of the mod, but having to wait 3 whole days to retake an interview is very limiting. Would it be feasible to either reduce the cooldown time between interview to max 1 day or to have the choice between 2 files, one that keeps it at 3 cooldown days and one that reduces it or removes it completely so my sim can just job hunt non stop if need be ? Thank you very much for the response you'll be able to give and for your work, I wish you a nice day !

Did you try her cheat option: Tips, Cheats & Exceptions • If you don't want to go through the interview phase, you can SHIFT+CLICK on your Sim and select the Pass Interview Cheat. (If your Sim failed a recent interview, ensure that they complete the Follow up On Past Interview interaction before doing this. Also make sure that you have cheats enabled)

J
Jaycee · October 7, 2025

Hi! I cheated my sim a communications degree and chose the pass interview cheat but when I try to Put her back in her public relations career it still says I need to pass the interview and get the right deg. What deg does PR require? It’s not in the pdf attached to the mod. I’m assuming that’s the issue since I click on the interview cheat a few times (there’s no notif that it works so I’m assuming it worked)

M
Manon B · October 7, 2025

I had a similar issue and ended up cheating again to give a prestige or honors (i don't remember which) degree, and this did the trick, so maybe see if that helps ?

Astromélia ✩ · August 23, 2025

I loved the idea of ​​this mod, but I'm worried about how it would work in relation to NPCs. Are there any future plans to prevent NPCs from losing their jobs, or to make them smart enough to fulfill the requirements on their own (i.e. passing an interview or going to university)? Or maybe some cheat to make many sims have jobs en masse?

e
ellesimsworld · August 28, 2025

Hi there, NPCs shouldn't lose their careers and should retain the jobs they have. However, other playable Sims might lose their jobs because the game recognizes that they didn't pass their interview.

Christine Ayomide · August 13, 2025

This is an amazing mod! I’d love to suggest adding a chance for Sims to pass the interview and get the job without a degree if they have high enough skill(s) levels for that career, kind of like simulating work experience. Your Simternships mod for teens could also be expanded for current or recent university students, so completing those internships could count as 'work experience' and boost their chances of passing the interview without the relevant degree.

bon bon · June 30, 2025

Hi! I understand the warning you wrote about sims losing their jobs when you first use the mod because they haven't done an interview and I understand that there is a cheat you can do for your sim, but is there any way to fix this on a larger scale? I wanted to start using this mod but my save file has hundreds of households in it who are now all jobless and that would take forever to individually fix. I completely understand if this isn't possible so no worries at all if not but I thought I'd ask!

D
DragonElla · August 11, 2025

I second this! This is such an amazing mod, but I'm so scared to start it because of this same reason. That, and I'm worried that my NPC sims aren't going to have jobs unless I make sure everyone goes to University and that's just a LOT haha.

j
jess · June 25, 2025

Hi i love the mod but it currently doesn't work for me! Most llamadIn options are bugged and most of the time they dont really complete, for the most part submitting and creating resume and references doesn't actually end up submitting and such. Don't know why and could definitely be on my side since i have a LOT of mods but just thought i should let you know! For now I will probably remove it from my game but if you update the mod I will test it again!! <33

First of all, amazing mod so far. I have been playing with this mod for almost a week and have found it very good. But now when I try to send my sim to attend an interview of any kind, this action did not work. How can I fix this?

e
ellesimsworld · March 30, 2025

Hi, I'm not exactly sure why that's happening. Your Sim should go to a rabbithole for the in-person interview and go to the computer for a Virtual interview. If that's not working for you, perhaps consider deleting and reinstalling the mod, or testing it on a new save.

Hi, you might have the wrong mod. My mod does not have an interviewer that comes, nor does it have an interaction where you call to schedule for an interview.

super cute mod! just so you know - after I downloaded it - Pandasama's realistic birth mod wasn't spawning obstetricians, doctors or front desk workers to the hospital, and unsure if its noted and I missed it but my sims already had jobs and lost them instantly. Everything was fixable and I'll just reinstall again after my sim gives birth and cheat the career because this mod seems amazing but just wanted to let you know <3 thank you for your work!
