So, you want to be a streamer?
The Sims 4 High School Years comes with two new part-time careers; Video Game Streamer and Simfluencer. The working hours for these jobs do not conflict with school or after-school activities, teens can be a part of one of these part-time careers and still attend class and after school activities with no issues.
The Video Game Streamer career is linked into the new Entrepreneur skill. As you progress through this career, you will find yourself also working on your Entrepreneur skills through creating content and promoting your creations online.

To become a Video Game Streamer, simply head to your nearest computer or phone and select Find A Job.
