The Sims 4 Interior Designer Career Guide

It’s time to gather your color swatches, a cup of tea, and a design book as we’re about to embark on the interior decorator career in The Sims 4, which is the main component of the Dream Home Decorator game pack.
Our Sims discover interior design with the Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator DLC. Even better, your Sim can take on the role of designer and help fulfill customer desires. At least that’s the plan.
But the question is whether this career is worth it? You should only play it if you intend to take it seriously and enjoy the features of the building. The pack can be a lot of fun if you’re trying to put yourself in an interior decorator’s shoes and create something really spectacular.
How to become an interior designer in The Sims 4?
You can start a career in this field by searching for jobs on your phone, and while it’s a primary career rather than a side career as a freelancer, it’s still gig-based.
Once in the career panel, click on the checklist to view the many available jobs. If they are greyed out, it indicates that your career is not advanced enough for you to accept this position.
You can also see the renovation you are doing and whether it is for residential or commercial use from the panel. There are many different types of gigs, so use the filters at the top if you know exactly what you want. Room renovations are the easiest, while level renovations or room and level additions are more difficult.
Basically, all you have to do is use your Sim’s phone and go to Work > Find a job > Professions to become an interior designer (filter optional). To accept the job, scroll down until you find the Interior Decorator option, then click the checkbox.
Best Skills and Traits for Interior Decorators
A keen eye for detail and creativity
You will need to be extremely inventive in the first place. You will be expected to create environments for a variety of clients. You will need to be extremely adaptive although having a point of view can be helpful.
To create unified rooms, you will also need to simultaneously pay attention to the overall picture and the smallest details. Although not the only qualification for this position, creativity is definitely a requirement.
Charisma skill
Few of the fantastic skills that Charisma unlocks allow you to affect the emotions of others. One of them is flattery. To make Sims happier, you can use more flattering and complementary abilities.
You can create a strong bond by divulging secrets and having deep conversations when you at least know each other. To help Sims reach Extremely High Emotional States and improve their performance, do this from Sim to Sim. At advanced levels, you can even ask your Sims for loans that you already know you won’t be able to repay. Since they will not get their money back, there is no penalty for this. However, each Sim can only be used once for this.
Being flirtatious and knowing nice welcomes like the enchanting introduction you could use to start a conversation are both aspects of charisma. Use your charismatic qualities to build a solid relationship with the client by engaging in light flattery.
