Freelancer Career
http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/careers/freelancer/

Freelancer is a brand-new type of career. Sims can choose to be a Freelance Artist, Programmer, or Writer, and will work through an agency that will connect them with a variety of gigs. Unlike other careers, there’s no defined work schedule to worry yourself over. Need some extra Simoleons? Smash through a few gigs in a single day and get paid! Need some time off? No problem – plenty of gigs will be waiting for you when you’re ready to get back to work. Your office is wherever you want it to be. Perhaps a quiet corner in the local library, or maybe you’d prefer a home office decked out in the new set of office furniture? You’re your own boss, so the choice is yours! Completion of gigs across the different agencies will lead to a variety of rewards, and ever-increasing pay.

I wonder if they'll add more careers like this in the future or if it'll be possible for modders to create them.
I admit I'd fancy a freelance handiness-based career where the tasks could be repairing objects, crafting furniture, or upgrading objects - similar to TS3 skill opportunities.

Time to share a little cheat for freelance writers:
When the book you write for a client is finished, make a copy (or two if you want another for your sim) of it and submit that copy. You can then publish the original - especially helpful if you're pursuing the writing-related aspiration and want to hit the "publish 10 books" milestone while freelancing.

Good thinking @TomasGrizzly  I was just thinking how annoying it is that you can't complete the aspiration by just doing the new freelance writer career. I'd totally forgotten about the ability to make copies! That makes this new career worthwhile doing imo now.

*Update: Apr.24.2019* * This issue seems to only affect Vampires.

Wanted to post this, just in case anyone has come across this:

Freelancer Issue - Meet with client/class doesn’t work
https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2019/04/freelancer-meet-with-cleint-class-doesnt-work/

[Playalot]

I've found no issues at all with either Meet Clients or Class in the Freelance Artist career and have play tested this for Crinrict, I think the issue was because when the patch first released it broke a lot of mods and some cc which caused issues with the text descriptions etc.
