Sims 4 Social Media Career
Nov 15, 2016 - The new Internet Personality career in 'The Sims 4: City Living' can get. The new social media career option allows your Sim to become an.
Just like in real life, Sims can become internet-famous with The Sims 4 City Living Expansion Pack. With the Social Media career you can gain followers, record videos and overall become someone who matters…on the internet.
You can start off your internet journey by joining the Social Media career. One of your first assignments would be to create a Social Media profile which you’ll later use for assignments.
At first you’ll only have a couple of interactions on the computer. The only interaction for now that’ll help you boost your followers is the Update Social Media Status one. You can keep track of your followers by using the Check Total Followers interaction.
You’ll want to work on your Charisma and Video Gaming skills while you’re just beginning with the Social Media career as it’ll be harder to work on these required skills while taking care of other assignments. The good thing about Social Networking interactions is that your Charisma skill fills up each time you use them.
Deciding to work from home will bring you various assignments that will encourage you to improve your Video Gaming and Charisma skills, as well as socializing and meeting new people around the city.
As you level up in the Social Media career you’ll unlock new interactions. In the Level 2 of the Social Media career you’ll unlock the ”Check-In at Venue” interaction, which you can use to let your followers know where you’re at – which will also help you boost your followers number.
Level 3 of this career brings 2 new interactions – Respond to Mailand Share Image.
Sharing an image won’t always engage your audience and you’ll have to wait a few hours before you share a new one.
Responding to an email can be done both from your phone and computer. It doesn’t affect your followers count but it brings new buffs that may get your Sim happy or angry…
At this point you’ll also have to work on your Comedy or Mischief Skill!
Level 4 of the Social Media career is when you pick your career branch: Internet Personality or Public Relations. Being recognized on the internet is much easier when you’re working as an Internet Personality!
The following interactions are now available to you:
- Share Jokes with Followers
- Advertise Minor Product
- Status Update from Venue
Sharing a joke to your followers is probably the best way to gain followers at this point. This interaction relies on the Comedy skill so make sure it’s high enough if you don’t want to lose your followers! Being playful helps making your joke successful.
Advertising a minor product will sometimes give you Simoleons – but often for a cost of losing quite a bit followers.
The Status Update from Venue interaction on your phone has replaced the Check-In interaction and is guaranteed to bring you more followers.
Level 5 brings these new interactions:
- Livestream Video Games
- Record Rant
- Shout Out from Venue
Recording a rant is very risky and, unless your Sim isn’t charismatic enough, you’re going to lose a lot of followers:
Livestreaming a video game is basically your Sim playing a video game for a couple of hours while getting followers. The more hours you play a certain video game the more followers you get!
Giving a shout out from a venue will now replace the Status Update from Venue interaction, giving you around a thousand of followers!
At Level 6 you can Start Funny Meme and Broadcast Status.
Starting a funny meme also depends on your Comedy skill and if the meme funny, you can expect thousands of new followers!
The Broadcast Status Update will also bring you thousands of new followers if done right!
At Level 7 you can Advertise Major Product, Promote Image and Announce Appearance at Venue.
Advertising a major product is a huge gamble. If done wrong you can lose thousands and thousands of followers. Doing this interaction right will give you a few thousand simoleons in exchange for a few thousand followers. You’ll bring them back…eventually.
The Promote Image interaction will replace the Share Image interaction. If done right you can get up to a hundred thousand followers!
Announcing your appearance at a venue will replace the Status Update from Venue interaction. This one also can give you close to a hundred thousand followers!
At Level 8 you can Stream Let’s Plays and Prank Streamers.
Stream Let’s Plays interaction will replace the Livestream interaction. If you stream a Let’s Play for a long period you can get up to million followers! This interaction, as well as the livestream one can be done using a video gaming console!
The Prank Streamers interaction depends on your Mischief Skill. The lower it is the higher the changes are of embarrasing your Sim in a failed attempt. This interaction can be performed every few hours and will give you close to a million followers when done right!
Level 9 brings 2 new interactions: Upload Viral Video and Charity Stream.
Sims 4 Social Media Career For Teens
Uploading a viral video will give you a million followers if done right!
Sims 4 Social Media Career Followers Cheat
Doing a charity stream can get your Sim trending and will also give you around a million new followers.
Reaching Level 10 will unlock the Advertise Massive Sponsorship interaction. When done right, this interaction will give you hundreds of simoleons in exchange for a few hundred followers.
Not only do you earn money from working as an Internet Superstar or working at home, but you also get to gain followers and trade them for advertisements in exchange for hundreds of simoleons. Working as an internet persona is definitely the easiest way to earn plenty of simoleons each day!

- Happened to me too! I did social media stuff for two days and had 2.5 million.
- Oh what! You guys are amazingly lucky I have three sims trying their hand at social media and they have like 675Mermaids oh my!!!
Simming since 2001!! Origin ID: KamioMax - Yeah, that happened to me too but I guess it can be realistic.. just think of how quickly all the viral videos on the internet get attention...
- edited November 2016Ohh, I've never uploaded a viral video before. My Sim has like 25,000 followers or something right now. That must be something you get as you move up the ranks?
- Wow! I played a sim who had a social media career and the most I could get was just 600.
- I'm currently playing the career and have no clue how to upload a viral video lol. My sim only has about 1,600 followers
- I'm playing this career as well and lost tooooons of followers for advertisements. I wish I could hit 1 million followers!
- My sim is through with the social media career. She has over 6 billion followers (:
- My sim got 1 mil followers after uploading a viral video.0
- What level in the career do you need to be to upload a viral video? And I've lost a lot of followers with advertisements too. I think I'll stop doing that! Lol0
- It happened to me as well. It kinda disappointed me because of how unrealistic this is. but oh well, my sims are rich now:)0
- edited November 2016Where is the 'upload video' option? I'm only level 6 (? The one that's niche broadcaster) and I'm not seeing it. Not sure if it's a glitch or I'm just not seeing it.0

Hello
Your sim needs to be at level nine of the Internet Personality branch to be able to upload the video.

My Showcase thread https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/948861/rosemow-s-rooms-showcase- I have a sim who is not even in the social media career who was able to upload a viral video. I think it became unlocked because of his charisma skill which is at level 10. When he did it, he gained 400K followers.
- edited November 2016Thanks for the replies! I'm not sure how it unlocked for me. After a day of having a social media account the option came up. It could've been related to her charisma skill but she is still level 1 in her career. She has not got promoted yet. Happy it's not just me. I just thought it was so odd.

Hello It is great that you gained so many followers! When your sim reaches level 10 in the charisma skill, like what fullspiral said, you can upload viral videos.

My Showcase thread https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/948861/rosemow-s-rooms-showcase - Pardon me for kicking an old thread, but I just had the same thing happen and came to see if it was normal. Not in the social media career, but uploaded a video and got +600k followers, pushing me to 600,374. (My last action, an image upload, was only a +25 bonus.) On top of this, the message indicated that the video I uploaded was panned! Horrible quality! Makes me wonder how many of those new followers are in it for the schadenfreude.
Anyway, two additional questions also popped up as a result of my recent Sim-social media use, so if anyone peeks in and sees my post...
1: I take it this update message on new followers for each upload was added with City Living, because of that carreer?
2: What happened to the 'Invent New Hashtags' interaction? - > @ashleyl2203 said:

I have 4,300,510 folowers but what do the followers actually do and what do you get for so many followers ?? - While I hope you get some help on growing your social media follower count in-game, let's please be mindful of when a thread was last active. It's been over a year and a half since this thread last had a discussion going so that in mind I've locked the thread.~my hair color is frequently changing, so my Sim reflects that~
