I’ve been using Satira’s 50% Reduced Salary mods for a long time, but unfortunately they haven’t been updated for the most recent expansion packs. So, I dusted off Sims 4 Studio and figured out how to create the same mod for Eco Living and Snowy Escape.
The Civil Designer and Salaryperson careers have their pay AND bonus amounts reduced by 50%. The pay for working from home assignments has also been reduced for Civil Designer. (Work from home is not an option for Salaryperson.)
I plan to keep these mods updated and I will do the same for any new careers added to the game in the future. All updates and additions will be added to this page. Satira’s mods for all previous expansions are still working fine.
Downloads
I’ve included separate package files so you don’t have to download them both if you don’t need them. You must have the associated expansion for these to work.
To install, just download the file(s) and place directly into your Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder. The files are not zipped. You can place them one subfolder deep if you want.
As always, I have tested these in my own game, but please let me know if you find any issues.
This is great. I am wondering if you plan to update for the newer careers to date. I noticed you mentioned the career overhaul mod above, but that is heavier than I was hoping to find. I just want them to earn less.
I should have asked that better. I meant like any that aren’t covered by yours and Satira, like the person above mentioned and the new decorator, and any others I might be unaware of. I just got Cottage Living, and haven’t played yet, so I don’t know what it has.
Hi! There is this one by zero – https://www.patreon.com/posts/all-lower-salary-45242399
It’s updated through the Interior Decorator career. I don’t believe Cottage Living comes with a career. Hope that helps some!
I love your tutorials, and I know you have gripes with the sims 4 so I appreciate sims 4 guides. It’s my favorite, and I respect your opinion.
Thanks Kitty! All of the Sims games have their issues, but I like them all for different reasons. Sims 2 is my favorite, but I still enjoy playing Sims 4 these days too. 🙂
Hi Cindy,
Will you add in the paranormal investigator job at some point? I enjoy the job, but the salary is way to overpowered for my liking 😅
I will add it to my to-do list! But in the meantime, I’ve been using this career overhaul that reduces the pay of all the jobs + a lot more! https://kuttoe.itch.io/career-overhaul-suite
Hi Cindy, have you shelved the Sims 4 Random Legacy challenge for now?
Yes.
So, is this just to make the game more difficult? Or are the salaries in these packs way off compared to basegame?
It’s to make the game more difficult. I only included these two jobs because the others were already done. 🙂
Hi Cindy!, well did you make this mod!??? and btw if you did how did you?
Hi! Yes, I made this mod. (I wouldn’t post it on my blog if someone else made it.) 🙂
I edited the tuning in Sims 4 Studio for each individual job level and changed the corresponding text strings, then saved as a package file. It wasn’t too hard to figure out!
Omg i got a reply from you, well will you like upload this on modthesims? just asking or just on this your website?
No, all my content stays on this website. 🙂
