what was I made for? | Glowfic Constellation

.... uh...

Something... medical or science based?? If one of those is on offer??? But she doesn't have a college degree so that seems hard (note to self: go to college), so, uh, what's available?

She can be a: doctor, naturopath, scientist, astronaut, or engineer, or maybe if she stretches those requirements she could be a conservationist, gardener, or tech guru.

Fortunately all of these have starter positions that make some more sense than literally signing up to be a doctor with no training or experience, so presumably there's some sort of... system... about training her on the job? Or something??? She has the sinking suspicion that she has moved to some kind of company town and any and all qualifications she earns here will be absolutely useless in another neighborhood. But she... is pretty sure... the simoleon is just good everywhere, so this might just be a game of earning absurd amounts of money right now so she can move somewhere a bit less... this? Whatever this is.

Also: what the fuck is a naturopath?

A Naturopath draws on deep wells of knowledge, from Crafting Elixirs to Foraging, to help other Sims feel their best. If you're drawn to healing and balance, this career is for you! You will be able to Educate other Sims about Balance, visit ailing Sims to heal their ailments, and learn how to craft cures to all known ailments as you climb up the career ladder. You can also work from home and receive clients at your own place!

If healing others of natural imbalances and the illnesses they cause sounds like the right thing for you, we're always hiring!

Yvette squints at this.

She does not particularly want to heal other sims with the power of magical-crystals-or-something, thanks? That sounds fake and possibly like some kind of scam? Some kind of pyramid scheme, maybe, where she buys elixirs or herbs or whatever and then needs to resell them in order to make any money at all. The part about working from home and receiving clients at her own pace is particularly alarm bell ringing. Hard, hard pass.

What are the blurbs for doctor, scientist, and engineer? Do they also sound sketchy as fuck???

Yyyyyep. Yeah, uh. Yep. They're all Like That.

Wow.

Well, a job's a job, she supposes? It will be her first one (... then... where did she get her savings from, actually?) and first jobs are known to always suck, so as long as it pays her and doesn't literally suck her soul out of her body, that's fine she guesses?

The scientist blurb is in fact so insulting that she decides to pick it out of sheer spite. Well, that and how it pays §24 an hour, with set work hours and everything.

She is now a Lab Technician at FutureSim Labs. She starts Monday at 10:00 AM!

Without... any interviews or sending them a resume, or, anything? No talking to anyone at all?

She just now is a Lab Technician. Just. Just like that???

And she starts literally tomorrow?

She is deeply, deeply confused, and feels like she's in some kind of bizarre fever dream. Um. Is there. Anything that her job... needs of her... before she. Shows up. Tomorrow. At 10:00 AM?

Nope.

????????

Okay??

Maybe this is just how things are done out here in the Real World (tm)? But she always thought things were... harder than this...?

Um. Okay. Well. Can she figure out how she might have a wall and door put in between the master bedroom and the rest of the house? She can use the smaller bedroom for right now, but she'd really rather turn it into some kind of office eventually.

Sure! How does she plan on going about figuring that out?

Um. Hm. Can she Siimgle it? Look for building contractors that can put up a wall and door?

She can!

...that does not seem to be a thing!

Why... not???

Oh, right. That'll be the soulless real estate monopoly, probably. Can't have competition.

Okay, so what are the options of having a wall and door built there? Like at all, full stop.

No.

But... that... but.

But she just wants to put a wall and a door there??? It'd be very easy, as these things go, she's pretty sure????

Fine. Whatever. What about curtains. Can she buy a set of curtains.

How would she go about doing that, please?

Why does this fill her with concern and doubt. This should be easy? She'll go with Siimgle for places to buy curtain rods and then also curtains?

Yeah, no.

But....

Okay. Okay. Fine. Where's the nearest hardware store?

Um... also no.

... but that's just in this company run neighborhood, right? There's got to be something in, say, Oasis Springs, or Newcrest, or the Magnolia Promenade or - c'mon, stop fucking with her, there has got to be a hardware store somewhere.

There are actually no good results for "hardware store", uh, at all, anywhere, as far as Siimgle kn-

Ding dong.
