I have a sim, whom i'm quite fond of. She is wealthy, and makes a fortune writing books, painting, owning the town etc etc. She's still a YA, but she's a level 10 journalist. I don't want to quit the job, I want to retire.

Is there a way to Retire Early? a mod? something? I know it's been asked, i've searched, but nobody really had a good clear answer. Could there be a mod that would allow you to retire early? Really I just don't wanna have to get upand go to work 4 time a week. Kinda ruins my whole day.

No, there isn't. Yes, there could be. No, I'm not making it.

What if you use that vacationer lifetime happiness reward? You don't have to go at work so often and your work performance goes down slower if you skip work.

There is also a mod that increases the work performance when working hard http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=354611 You can easily skip work and when you are about to get fired just go to work and work hard for a while.

"Intermediate \ Careers \ Retire" in MasterController should let you retire, at any age.
