Ultimate Beauty Career **TESTED WITH 12/20/18 PATCH**
*** Tested with Get Famous (not required) and Game Version 1.47.51.1020 – the November 13, 2018 Update (definitely required) ***
PLEASE NOTE: You WILL need the newest Neia Career Commons file (included in download) also!
Also just as an FYI (because I thought it was a bug and was about to completely embarrass myself
on Neia’s forum) as of the last patch, EA removed the “ideal mood” for rabbit hole careers.
Oh… You knew that already… So… It was just me? Okay then…. Carry on.
Get to Work, Outdoor Retreat or Spa Day recommended for advancement in some paths, but not required for the career to work (see spoiler).
Hairdressing is routinely voted as one of the happiest jobs in the world, winning votes for job satisfaction, creativity and being getting to use your skills every day. Even in tough economic times, people want to get their hair done. In terms of job security, hairdressers and undertakers are pretty much guaranteed a job for life! So yeah. Being a hairstylist is cool(!) and there are so many ways to be a part of the beauty industry, it seemed like a great pick for an “Ultimate” career.
The pay levels are based around EA more so than real life until you get to the upper upper levels, so you don’t have to cheat to live. Those upper upper levels are based on research (and are even a little low in some cases). There is no PTO accrued while you’re a cosmetology student by design. And finally, this career is Base Game compatible, but SOME paths require the packs above to advance without using the cheat code provided because those skills came with expansions. I don’t want to leave my Base Game folks out, but I also don’t want to use the same skills over and over. Using them in some paths and not others is the compromise.
Now on to…
The Ultimate Beauty Career
Looking good is good business. Hairdressing is only a part of it. Beauty is a billion-dollar industry with multiple segments and career paths. The client base is everyone and never ending and the pay can substantial. Plus, the beauty industry is all about making people look and feel great! Sounds like a career that’s full of win.

You start small with a customizable styling game aimed at salons.
