# Careers for Empty Neighborhood

[Iryl]

A year or three ago, I saw a ModtheSims thread about how many doctors, journalists, scientists, etc, you should put in an empty neighborhood so that random Sims aren't forced to change careers to fill gaps.

I've looked and looked but can't find the thread/page. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks!

Sims don't change careers to fill gaps, if they already have one.

EA Careers only pulls sims into careers to fulfill coworker/boss positions for your actives if that sim is unemployed.

Ensure that everyone already has a job, and they won't be bothered by the system.

However if you want to know how many sims are necessary :

Most EA Careers require four coworkers and a boss for each active sim with a career.

Inactive sims are not assigned coworkers or bosses by default. Under EA Standard they do not gain job performance in the same way as actives, so do not require them.
