1920s – Roaring Twenties and Prohibition

All rules from 1910s still stand with the following changes:

• Children:

  • Surrealism paintings are allowed.
  • Wind turbines are allowed.
  • No bars of any kind are allowed! (This means both at home and in the game world. Bars, Nightclubs, or Lounges in your save must be turned into “Speakeasies” with the bars in hidden or inaccessible rooms.)
  • Movies are allowed (but not TV shows). I recommend that you use this sparingly as movie theaters would have existed in this decade, but televisions would not be in the home for many more years. However, this does mean you can create a Movie Theater commercial lot (actual lot designation is up to you.)

Sims may NOT join the Scientist career anymore.

They are permitted the following careers: Criminal (Boss), Culinary (Chef), Entertainer (Musician), Freelancer (Writer), Gardener (either branch), Interior Decorator, Painter (either branch), Writing (either branch).
  • The careers that require university degrees are as follows (for all sims): Culinary (Chef), Doctor, Education (either branch), Engineer (Mechanical), and Law (either branch).
  • Young Adults are encouraged to work in the Criminal (Boss) career.
  • Part-time work: Men can be a fisherman, lifeguard, or manual laborer. Women can be a babysitter, lifeguard, manual laborer, or retail employee. Teens under the age of 14 and Elderly cannot have part-time work.
