How to add many careers at once
- Make one folder. Create
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods\Careersand keep every career there..packagefiles can sit in subfolders; keep.ts4scriptfiles no more than one folder deep. - Install the libraries once. Most careers lean on a shared library: XML Injector (Kiara, Office Worker), Lot 51 Core Library and midnitetech_modlibrary (midnitetech). All Hours' page asks for the latest midnitetech_modlibrary. Keep a single copy of each.
- Download the careers. On CurseForge the Install via App button places files for you and can update them later. By hand, unzip each download into your Careers folder.
- Turn mods on. In Game Options > Other, tick Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed, then restart the game.
- Check the list. On a Sim's phone or a computer choose Find a Job. Custom careers appear next to EA's.
Add careers in batches of five or so. If one is missing from the list, you will know which batch to look in, and the usual cause is a pack you do not own or a library that is missing.

Keeping a big career collection working
- After every game update EA switches mods off. Turn them back on, then update libraries before careers.
- Watch the dates. Most careers are tuning files and survive patches, but text can go blank when a library is behind. The Full-Time Careers Bundle has not been updated since June 2024, while the same creator's single careers were updated in January 2026.
- Avoid doubles. BosseladyTV's Ballet Dancer exists both alone and inside the bundle. Install one of them.
- Check ages. Most custom careers are for young adults and older. Teen jobs are labeled on the mod page.
- Free means free. EA's policy lets creators offer early access for a limited time, after which the mod must be free. Kiara's Patreon gives supporters instant access to new mods.
FAQ
Where do the new careers show up?
In the same Find a Job list as EA careers, on the phone or a computer, unless the creator hid a career on purpose, for example one that requires a degree.
Which mod adds the most careers at once?
All Hours Career Pack by midnitetech adds 20 full-time branches in one download and was updated for patch 1.129.39 on November 2, 2026.
Do I need packs for more careers?
Not for All Hours Career Pack, Naxtralius's careers or BosseladyTV's Firefighter, which work with the base game. Many of Kiara's careers need Get to Work, Discover University or other packs listed on each page.
Can my Sim have two careers at once?
Not with the mods on this page. They add more careers to choose from. Switch Career Branches lets one Sim move between branches without quitting.
