In the spirit of the elections in the UK today, I thought about how this could be put into TS4!



You start by joining the Political career, which is a new active career. It includes proposing new policies, writing speeches and more. Every Friday, you have to give speeches to your party members, and listen to other Sims proposing ideas.



Once you're at a certain level in the career, you have to start campaigning for your party (there wouldn't actually be Sims in different parties, but it's there as a bit of an illusion). Campaigning involves your Sim leaving Town Hall, and cavassing.



You're dumped in a neighborhood, and you have to find Sims around town and start convincing them to vote for you (you have a special relationship meter for voting, similar to that of people buying things). If the game was open world, you'd knock on doors, but ah well.



If your Sim convinces enough people to vote for them, they get a promotion or a bonus. However, if they don't, they'll get demoted.



There would be branches of government - Politician, or Campaign Manager. Politician uses speeches, charisma, logic etc but Campaign Manager uses new fun tools to create campaigns, and would use painting, logic, charisma and other skills.



I don't really know how else to build upon this, but I think it could make a really fun career!

SMagazine is a magazine all about design and inspiration in The Sims, full of your creations, tips and interviews with people in the community (even SimGurus from time to time!)
