Property Services Apprenticeship

Base Game World Adventures

This Apprenticeship can promote into my Estate Agent Career . World Adventures 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 in English and supports Spanish, German, Russian, French, Dutch and Chinese translations.


The Apprenticeship is located at the Business and Journalism Office and has a custom uniform for all three levels. It focuses on the Photography, Logic and Charisma skills.

Uniform for all three levels.
Uniform for all three levels.

1. Receptionist ~ Intermediate: Nothing glamorous to start with in your apprenticeship, but it’s still a necessary job. Just answer the phones, make notes and book appointments. Make sure you work on those charismatic skills and for goodness sake, be polite on the phones, or it’s bye, bye Apprenticeship.
§10/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

2. Assistant ~ Advanced: You’re an overall Assistant and you can accompany the estate agents when visiting properties. You’ll be meeting the clients and observing the professionals when they describe the property. You may even be asked to take the photographs for the details, so you’d better focus on those photography skills to accentuate those attractive details!
§15/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

3. Junior Negotiator ~ Higher: Negotiating prices for clients is important and now you’re going to follow the Senior Negotiators and watch and learn. You’ve reached the end of your apprenticeship and you’ll soon be qualified and ready to sell all the houses in town. Well, maybe not all, but those that are for sale, at any rate. Congratulations on your dedication!
§20/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

There are three custom tones; Answer The Phones, which builds the Charisma skill; Practise Photography, which builds the Photography skill and Sit Exam, which boosts overall performance.

It’s been a while since I released any afterschool activities. This is a pack of 10 activities for children and teens. 9 are available for teens and 5 are available for children.

These require Generations to work. However, some skills won’t be built if the appropriate Expansion Packs and/or Store Content isn’t installed.
For the pack to work correctly, you’ll need World Adventures, Ambitions, Island Paradise, University and the Glassblowing Station from the Store. If you download the NoStore version, you will not require the Glassblowing station. Only install one version, as they will conflict with one another.

For these activities to show up in game, you’ll need Nraas Careers Mod and Nraas Careers Schools Mod.
