The Sims 4 Career: Game Developer Career

Game Developer Career
A career near and dear to my heart as I am trying to get through schooling and become a programmer myself so I saw that Sims had a programming and a gaming skill so I put two and two together to create this career for everyone so I hope you enjoy it! It is worth mentioning that this is a one track ten level rabbit hole career (your sim leaves the lot and returns after their day is done). It was also created using Neia’s Create a career webtool. There is no chance cards yet! The PTO tooltip works as intended as well!
