Even Sims who can't stand art can be pleased - custom chair or toilet anyone? It's worth noting the sketches made from researching architectural design on the drafting table make great custom art to decorate a house and achieve this bonus to the review. Another thing is to use sculptures or paintings to decorate the place. These offer a passive boost to the review. Once unlocked, always take measurements at the property and discuss the renovation with the client. There are three things you can do religiously that will always have a positive impact on a renovation. It's these little touches that really fill a room out and improve the decorated moodlet without too much clutter. They generally like it when you spend the budget on extra little decorations, like flowers, rugs, curtains, trees, even toilet paper rolls. You can earn up to a $5,000 bonus if your Sim accumulates enough positive feedback. Even if you fill all the requirements of a job, the design may get a bad review early on. First, the most simple: their level in the profession. There are several factors that come into play for determining if your Sim is going to get a good review for their efforts in architecture. You'll generally get only two jobs done per day if you take the time to try to talk to the client, and later measure the property. You can always talk to the client, then decline the job for the moment to have a peek at the job details. Take those with bigger budgets, as it's usually easier to score big on them. Until level 3, you'll have to rely on watching for jobs to pop up on the map. Your Sim can only take up a job during the specified work hours of 8AM to 6PM Monday through Friday. This experience stops for the easel once painting is maximized, but the drafting table will always provide it, although its returns become less significant as your level rises. The easel can lead to more money by allowing the sale of paintings, but the sketching table will raise your Sim's career experience much faster. The charisma class will get the skill unlocked so your Sim will start gaining levels through everyday socialization.Īrchitects have a choice between an easel or drafting table to raise their job level through the painting skill when not working. I also suggest taking a class in charisma and painting. I'd never bother looking in the newspaper when you can send the Sim there directly.

I just felt it necessary to get that out in the open should this not be changed.Īrchitectural Designer is joined by heading to city hall. Each design is only worth one! Nope, there's no trick to it. It is decidedly bugged as 100 good reviews will likely take longer than a Sim lifetime on normal. The Home Design Hotshot Lifetime Wish is one of the longest in the Sims 3. Take a class in Charisma to get started with that skill and it will rise somewhat automatically as you progress. Socializing with clients is also important, so making your Sim charismatic or friendly will help. Photographer's Eye ( could be the best yet, as it will boost the photography skill which provides nearly instant materials for placing custom art (even photographs of clients) in the home. Savvy sculptor could help secondarily, as decorating clients' homes with custom art such as sculptures gives a boost to your final score. Raising the Painting Skill is a good way to gain career levels as an architect, and the artistic trait will help you do that faster. The two traits I'd recommend most are artistic and charismatic. In this guide to Architecture, I'll provide some helpful tips to improving your job scores and getting better reviews. The career does require some home building skill on your part. If Sims take this up, they will earn a living through improving homes in the neighborhood by completing a variety of job types for clients.
