Toy Maker Apprenticeship

Originally released 24/12/2019
This Apprenticeship can promote into my Toy Maker Career. Ambitions is required.

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 for Teens only and is based at the City Hall and has three levels. It focuses on the Handiness and Inventing skills. The Apprenticeship is in English and supports translations in French, Dutch and German.
There are two custom tones:
Test Toys, which builds the Handiness and Inventing skills
Sit Exam, which boosts overall performance.

1. Intermediate: Stock Checker – The qualified toy makers have completed many toys and there are dozens of orders placed with the company for toys to be sent all over [TownName]. It’s up to you to make sure the right toys are in stock!
M,T,W,R,F
§10/hour
4.00pm – 7.00pm

2. Advanced: Safety Advisor – You’ve earned the title of Safety Advisor. Every toy created to be sold must adhere to the Safety Regulations and since you’ve been taught them day in, day out you should be able to assist in an advisory capacity. Just don’t get too cocky.
M,T,W,R,F
§15/hour
4.00pm – 7.00pm

3. Higher: Toy Designer – You’ve reached the final leg of your Toy Making Apprenticeship and your new title is that of a Toy Designer. You won’t actually be designing toys to be made just yet but you’re getting plenty of practice in. Keep up the good work, you’ve reached the top! Congratulations on your dedication!
M,T,W,R,F
§20/hour
4.00pm – 7.00pm

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

3. Engine Fitter ~ Advanced: One of the largest components of a car is it’s engine. Until now, you’ve only learnt basic repair work to an engine.

Uniform for all three levels.

1. Painter ~ Intermediate: Splish splash, slap it on the wall! You’ve begun the first step in your Construction Apprenticeship and you’re a Painter! This isn’t painting in watercolours or oil-based paints and making pretty pictures. If that’s what you’re after, then perhaps a Fine Arts Major at University might be best for you! No, as a painter, you’re going to learn how to prepare background surfaces for painting and then apply paint by brush or roller. It might sound like pretty tame stuff, but it will provide you with challenges!
§10/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

2. Maintenance Operative ~ Advanced: You’ve earned the title of Maintenance Operative. This is really a fancy way of saying that if anything breaks, it’s your fault. Well, actually it’d be your advisors fault, but you’d share the blame. So just be vigilant, keep everything on-site in perfect working order and you’ll be able to continue your Apprenticeship with all limbs in tact.
§15/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

3. Royal Engineer (Carpenter and Joiner) ~ Higher: You’ve reached the final leg of your Construction Building Apprenticeship and your new title is that of a Royal Engineer. No, you’re not about to meet the Queen. Not unless she’s requiring a Carpenter or Joiner, at any rate. No, this title means you’re close to completing your Apprenticeship and will soon be ready to become a real Builder in the big wide world. Or at least in your local town. Congratulations on your dedication!
