Sporting Excellence Apprenticeship

Base Game

Originally released 11/03/2013

Update Log:
– 18th September, 2020 ~ Added Chinese translation

This Apprenticeship can promote into the Sports Career. Only the Base Game is needed.

Now, these Apprenticeships are, essentially, part-time teen careers. Your teens can go and apply at the associated rabbit-hole building and land themselves a three-level apprenticeship. To change the designated rabbithole to suit your own requirements, I have a tutorial HERE for you to follow. They will earn money each day and will work from 4pm-7pm, Monday to Friday.

Once your teen is promoted to Level 3, they will receive a reward certificate in their Family Inventory to put up on the wall to show off their achievements. As an additional bonus, when your teen ages up to Young Adult, when they apply for the connecting career, they’ll start at a higher level!
Each Apprenticeship has its own custom uniform. There are, currently, no opportunities. It’s challenging enough getting the teens to complete homework and build up the required skills, without throwing extra opportunities into the equation!

How The Promoting Works

When your teenage Sim ages up while employed in an Apprenticeship, they will appear to stay in the apprenticeship. In order for them to get into the “Adult” career, your Sim needs to apply for the job via the Rabbithole, or on the newspaper or computer, as normal. They will appear to only be in level one of the “Adult” career when they join, but after a few moments, it will change to a different level.
If your Sim is at Level One in the apprenticeship, they will not gain any career advancement.
If your Sim is at Level Two in the apprenticeship, they will promote into Level 4 in the “Adult” career.
If your Sim is at Level Three in the apprenticeship, they will promote into Level 6 in the “Adult” career.

Please don’t ask me to change this! It’s the way to code works in Twallan’s Careers mod and I can’t change it.
The Apprenticeship is in English and supports Spanish, German, Russian, French, Dutch and Chinese translations.


The Apprenticeship is located at the Stadium and has a custom uniform for all three levels. It focuses on the Athletic skill.

1. Community Sports Development Officer ~ Intermediate: Having observed a general lack of sporting activities in your area, you’ve taken on the role as a sports development officer. You’ll be lobbying for new activities to keep the town fit and healthy and maintain an interest in the sporting activities the town has the potential to have. To prove this need, engage in a variety of sporting activities, from basketball and football, to snowboarding and golf. Prove to the council, and to the residents, that new activities are desperately needed!
§10/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

2. Support Officer ~ Advanced: Ahh, a chance to observe real athletes in their working environments. As Support Officer, you offer words of encouragement to the players. It’s not a big gesture, but you feel so overawed by the mere presence of these sporting personalities that you hardly notice how little you are achieving. But with the right words, you might end up as one of these athletes yourself and it’s that thought that will keep you going!
§15/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

3. Amateur Athlete ~ Higher: All your spare time is taken with practises, gym sessions and occasionally, homework, so your teachers don’t nag you. But you spend your days commuting from home, to school, to practise, to the gym and back again. You love it though and have never felt fitter. You’ve secured a place in the Youth team and as such, you’re considered to be an Amateur! Congratulations on your dedication!
§20/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

There are two custom tones; Work Out, which builds the Athletic skill and Sit Exam, which boosts overall performance.
