Changelog:
29th January 2024 ~ The file name has changed so please delete the old version
~ Added Dutch translation
To celebrate the Snowy Escape expansion, I’ve recreated by Sims 3 Snowboarder Career.
You Will Need:
- Scumbumbo’s XML Injector ~ This allows the career to not need its own script file. The XML Injector loads the script for Paid Time Off and for the custom interactions. Don’t worry; the XML Injector doesn’t add anything to your game, it just allows this mod to work as intended.
- The Custom Wants Mod ~ This is only needed for the whimset.
Technical Details:
The career has 10 levels and no additional branching.
There are 6 work from home assignments available should you wish to use them. Each assignment has a tooltip, explaining at which level of the skill the interaction unlocks. As a result, if your Sim has low Snowboarding skill, they may find some of the work from home assignments difficult to complete.
There are no daily tasks or uniforms.
The Snowboarder career doesn’t require any university degree.
The career is fully compatible with the Lifestyles from Snowy Escape. If your Sim has the Adrenaline Seeker, Energetic or Outdoorsy Lifestyles, they will gain a performance boost. However if your Sim has the Sedentary or Indoorsy Lifestyle, they will see their performance gain a bit slower than normal.
The career has a whimset to help guide Sims to want to do activities relating to the career.
The career requires Snowy Escape and City Living for the work from home options (I assume City Living is needed for this but feel free to test at your own risk. Would love confirmation though).
The career is presently in:
~ English (by me)
~ French (by Kimikosoma)
~ Russian (by Taraumara)
~ Dutch (GothiqueAngel)
~ Ukranian (mariliuiw, Download Here)
Translations are welcome! If you translate, send me the link to your translation and I’ll add the link to the post.
Career Details ~ Levels
➡️ Accessory Man/Woman ~ So, snowboarding is your sport. You want to know everything there is to know about it and have every accessory ever invented to prove your dedication.

Known Issues:
For reasons known only to Sims 4, in spite of completing all work from home tasks, sometimes the boss is disappointed with the work done. I don’t actually know why this happens but you get the money all the same so it’s not a serious issue. Just the notification is a bit off.
