How often do Sims get promoted?
RabidAngel:
Hi all,
I think I may be having a brain freeze, but I'm wondering...
Is it possible for sims to be promoted daily if they meet the required friends and skill points? I thought it used to be possible....but lately my sims have to wait a few days in between, even if they've met all of the requirements. Feel free to point and laugh at me.. ::)
I'm just not sure if my memory is failing me, or if there's a problem with my game now preventing me from being promoted on a daily basis.
See, I strive for my sims to achieve high ranking status at an uber-fast rate for i hope that in doing so, I might reflect the same in my own pathetic life. ::)
If it is possible for sims to be promoted daily, can someone tell me what may be preventing this from happening now? Has anyone else come across this gross annoyance? ???
I'd greatly appreciate any advice on this matter, and I will gladly trader my lips as for some much needed advice.
Thank you ever so kindly.

Sims must go to work in a good mood for three days in a row to be promoted, as long as they have the required skills and friends. Platinum mood guarantees promotion (unless you choose the wrong choice on a chance card). Some swear by the noodlesoother, but I have never tried this. There are many techniques for assuring that your sim has platinum mood right before s/he gets in the carpool. You can check your sim's job performance by looking in the job panel. The green bar starts at about halfway and increases or decreases according to your sim's mood when they leave for work. The top half is divided into thirds, and each day they leave in a good mood (but not platinum) the job performance meter will increase by a third (or actually a sixth of the entire meter).
So the key is to get your sim in platinum mood, and it doesn't matter if he or she is starving, has to pee, or is about to pass out from lack of sleep! On the other hand, if you send them to bed in a platinum mood, it will not decay as long as they are asleep. It will not decay after they wake up until the next hour. So if you can keep them in bed until after the hour when the carpool arrives, they will keep their platinum mood. JMPs programmable sleep clock helps with this.

AH, okay!...I'll have to monitor that and see if I still can't get promoted daily...Thank you so much for that info, Rainbow..
I should have added this to my first post, but I'm also having troubled with my pregnant sims not having the extra couple of days off. It says she'll have a couple of extra days, yet the carpool always comes that day...any ideas, rainbow?
Thanks again!!

You get the vacation days, but they are optional. Just don't have your sim go to work, and the carpool will leave (after honking annoyingly for an hour). You'll get a call some time later, (which you don't necessarily have to answer) saying something like your sim got paid for a day's vacation. You'll have to watch your sim though, because she will dutifully trundle off to work if she isn't busy and she is in a good enough mood. You can save her vacation for later if you want, if you have another sim who has the day off and can stay with the baby.

I've noticed that my Sims sometimes get promoted each time they go to and come home from work on consecutive days.
I think it's a combination of all skills being fulfilled to the promotions requirements, being in a good mood and also having enough friends for the promotions requirement.
As well, it seems to be that the closer they are to reaching the top of their career, the more days that lapse between promotions.
