raeanna reynoldsOkay I am confused... Besides the amount of money to build a ship, and the fact that the Scientist career is an active career, are there any benefits to pursuing one or the other? I can get to Sixam with either career. ... Or can I not visit Sixam with the Astronaut career? This page doesn't say you can like the Astronaut guide does, if so.Flag48th June 2016 7:44pmraeanna reynoldsOops that last sentence was supposed to be "This page doesn't say you can like the Scientist guide does, if so."Flag18th June 2016 7:45pmplayalotThe Astronaut career is basically a 'rabbit-hole' career. Your sim can't go anywhere or do anything really as it all happens 'off the active lot'. If you want your sim to be able to go to Sixam and have a chance at the alien party etc your sim will need to be in the science career. The science career is the only one that will allow your sim to upgrade the rocket with the worm hole that takes your sims to Sixam.However, the Rocket Science skill allows your sim to build and upgrade a rocket so that your sim can have the txt adventures and complete the plant collection. So your sim can actually still build a rocket without having any career at all.Flag19th June 2016 4:52pmMichaelTo the best of my knowledge, the rocket upgrade for traveling to Sixam is not career locked at all. Anyone with GTW and level 10 Rocket Science can build the upgrade for $1000. The Astronaut Career has no special advantage or disadvantage in getting to Sixam. Scientist Career is probably quicker and definitely cheaper, although you need to get fairly deep into the career to build an upgraded wormhole generator. Scientist doesn't need Rocket Science at all to get there. Scientist also has some other cool inventions. Cloning machine is incredibly powerful.Flag015th December 2016 7:12amRedredemtin19Ok, this is some good info. However, I am not sure if this actually matters or not, but is there a specific thing your Sims have to do to go down the certain branches? If so, that would be good info to know about.Flag026th June 2016 11:53amplayalotAll the tasks are listed in the guide above. You will get the choice of either branch when your sim is has advanced to L7. If you look at the guide above you will see the skills and skills levels needed at each career level so you can skill-up your sim ahead of time.Flag026th June 2016 8:12pmMinaMy young adult sim son started this career, but he started at level 3. How is that possible without connections (reward trait). Is it because his sister works there at level 6 or 7? Or was it because his skill level exceeded the requirements for levels 1-2?Flag322nd September 2016 8:45pmplayalotIf a teen sim leaves high school with an A grade they will start all careers at Level 3.Flag622nd September 2016 10:38pmMinaThank you!
