Hi Everyone! Well I managed to get some serious game play in and unfortunately... Alena didn't finish her career or her last friend requirement before Grim came calling. So this attempt is a fail. (snip snip rest of the post)
Ugh, I can feel your pain KTK, the Sims 4 makes it impossible to top a career in six weeks if you don't have the Entrepreneurial trait. It's far easier to top a career in The Sims 3 due to the many options and the items you can with the expansions, but Sims 4 is spanking new so there aren't very many options. I ALWAYS end up having to do two shifts to get a promotion. Making friends is also so much easier in Sims 3 with the dragons and elixirs and stuff.
Good luck on your next attempt and I'll pray for your success.
