*Politics
MTS has all free content, all the time. Donate to help keep it running.
*Politics is a whole new career based off of the original Politics career. This is my very first creation, so please excuse me if there are any rough patches.I wanted my sim to end out as President of The United States, but instead he ended out as mayor. This career ends out as president and has completely original chance cards, some new job titles (including Vice President), new days, new salaries, and new job descriptions. I completely got rid of the Judge job. *Politics' reward is the same as the original, the teleprompter. The two jobs share the same teleprompter, so if you download this job, be sure not to use the original politics. When you make to level 5 on either one, the teleprompter will appear in the same slot. I was not able to remove an empty bubble on the job rewards panel, sorry! To tell the difference between my job and the original, I just put an asterisk in front of Politics. I became serious with this project after downloading enriquemt0's Barack Obama sim. Enriquemt0 did an excellent job and I recommend downloading her obama sim. All extra job information will be in the Notepad format download on the download link. COMPLETE information listed below:
