✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Finally, my Sim won't get promoted while I'm not looking—I can plan their career path.
- Adds a meaningful choice: do I apply now or wait for a better opportunity?
- Lightweight and simple—does exactly what it says without extra bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements means it's not widely tested—might have hidden bugs.
- Could break with future game patches if not updated promptly.
- If you forget to apply, your Sim might stagnate—you have to stay on top of it.
This is for control freaks who want to micromanage every aspect of their Sims' lives, especially career-driven players who hate surprise promotions. It's also great for storytellers who want to role-play a Sim struggling to climb the ladder.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check your Sim's performance at work regularly so you don't miss the chance to apply for a promotion.
- Use this mod with a career mod that adds more job levels to get the most out of the manual promotion system.
- If you're playing with multiple Sims, set a reminder to check their career panels each Sim day.
