Whether your Teen is driven to do more, needs spending money, or you’re just tired of them loafing around the house all weekend, these Teen Job Mods will help them get more out of their time!
Ah, Teenhood. That transitionary stage between Childhood and Adulthood where your sim is figuring out who they are and who they want to be, what they’re into, and how they want to spend their time. For many Teens it’s also a time that they first enter the working world, be it through odd neighborhood tasks or a dedicated evening/weekend job. Your Teens may be trying to save money for a new computer, preparing for college, or they might need to help support the household. No matter the reason, your Teen needs a job!
Teen Job Mods For Young Money Makers
There are a few jobs available for Teenagers in The Sims 4 but nowhere near the variety & scope of the Adult offerings. With Teen job mods though, we can change that. Check out this list of a dozen links to roughly 100 different jobs your Teens can do to build skills, use their time productively, and make some simoleons!

Saturday Jobs Pack
If you want your Teens to have a job but not one that interferes with their school performance, Saturday work is the perfect solution. They can choose from up to 10 job tracks to get into, and each has 3 levels to discover:

- Farmer’s Market Helper
- Field Marketer
- Lawn Caretaker

- Model
- Stablehand

To get one of these jobs your sim will need to fill out a Skills questionnaire on the computer, at which point they’ll be presented with qualifying jobs to choose from.

This is a neat little collection of Teen jobs that each have their own tasks required to do the job well, so it feels more hands-on than a lot of jobs.
As a Cookie Scout your teen will order cookies online and then pitch them to sims, making more than a 100% profit for each successful sale. The Museum Assistant throws events at their favorite museum where they can chat up patrons, promote the gift shop, discuss art, etc. The final job is Custom PC Builder where your teen orders parts, assembles them into a PC, and sells them for a massive profit.
Since these tasks don’t have strict hours you can have your Teens fit them in around other obligations like school, Drama Club, other jobs, etc. They can also work at their own pace which is really nice.

Simoleonz Online Jobs Mod
This is an interesting take on the concept of jobs, as it’s a work-from-home type set up where your sim picks a job to do and immediately does it right there on the computer. They can design logos and websites, proofread papers, sell stock photos, and more! Each task takes a varied amount of time and pays a varied amount of simoleons, making it an easy way for Teens (and older) to pull together a few bucks quickly to help them buy that new game console, throw a party, or afford their bills.

Freelance careers have deadlines, but the whole thing about it being freelance is that the job can be worked on anytime. So why can’t teens do freelance work outside of school hours? With this mod, they can.
The mod is broken up by EP/GP/SP so make sure you only download for the content you have, otherwise you’ll run into an issue where your teen will keep losing the job every time you load the save.

If your Teen is a bit more rough around the edges with a Kleptomaniac trait that won’t let them rest, they might consider starting in the Criminal Career. With this job track your Teens can steal their way to a promotion, and with Growing Together their parents can have an intervention to try and bring them back to the straight-and-narrow. It’s a comprehensive career with new interactions, buffs, chance cards, and even a Reward Trait that will be useful if they choose to stay in a life of crime!

Base Game, City Living, and Get To Work jobs have been enabled for dropout teens, including part time jobs. Creator Telford even updated the work uniforms to be accessible to Teens so they don’t have to worry about getting in trouble for a dress code violation!
Note: The mod author says this requires a separate mod to get your teens out of school, but the mod they reference is no longer available. We found this one by Triplis that will hopefully work.
