I searched to see if anyone else had already started a thread which lists the salaries for the various careers and for each level within those careers and couldn't find one. So, I basically started my families over again (except for my very first one) and this is the information I've gathered so far:

Camera Repairer (In workshop)
Level 1 $ 90
2 105

Wood Sculptor (In workshop)
Level 1 $ 60

Personal Cook (In kitchen)
Level 1 $105
2 135

Salad Packager (In kitchen)
Level 1 $ 45
2 54
3 66

Fairy Tale Writer (I either missed level one or she started at level 2)
Level 2 $75


I'll edit this with more information when I get it. I actually have one more, but forgot to write down the title and pay, lol!

Anyway, if everyone can add information to this, it would be interesting to learn.

Oh and if someone already did start a similar thread, just let me know and I can delete this or have one of the site admins delete it instead.

I have:

Rocket Scientist-Master(lvl8)300
Mail Order Baker-Master(lvl8)285

Meat Grader-Exceptional(lvl7)234
Web Designer-Accomplished(lvl6)195

Architect-Accomplished(lvl6)195
QA Engineer-Accomplished(lvl6)195

Seems like I cannot edit my first post to add to it. So, I copied it into this new post and have added to it. Thanks Bethlham for adding to this thread -- looks like your Rocket Scientist is making good money! What's funny though is that your Mail Order Baker isn't far behind.

Hi all!
This is what I have: maybe we can put it in 1 post?
simsane, i've got a fairy tale writer too, and she just started!

Recipe inventor (kitchen)
Lvl 5 174

Denture maker (workshop)
Lvl 5 144

Lvl 2 75

Fairy tale writer (office)

Lvl 2 75

I believe salary levels are the same for everybody regardless their profession. Which means whoever starts with 90$ as a beginner will end up with 300$ as a master.
BTW, bethlham, I also had master rocket scientist. A blond one.

For the highest salaries (well, I admit, I'm greedy ) - I have lobbyist and programmer

Level 1 105$
2 135$
3 174$
4 204$
5 240$
6 282$ - update


Engineer, Rocket Scientist
Level 1 90$
2 105$
3 129$
4 168$
I don't remember the rest, but at the end it was 300$.

Digital Photo Editor starts with 60$.

Level 2 75$
3 90$
4 114$

All of them work in the office.

Ah, yes, that makes sense. So we can determine the levels of pay and then add in a given career to the appropriate earnings schedule.

My web designer is now: exceptional(7)234.

I loved the Rocket Scientist! But I think I'm going for a Programmer or Personal Chef next *cha ching*

I've been putting their current salary in notes, but I didn't keep the stages which I wished I had now. I will from now on.

Vitamin Inventor - I know he started at $15 but I chose him as a partner anyway as he definitely wanted kids. So.... for that I got

Exceptional (7) - $450 (he paid off )

Trail Mix Creator

Master (8) - $285

I had a Pen Designer was toped at 675. He was a really good husband, LOL. This career was in the workshop. I now have a husband and wife team who are Dress Designers and they are on level 4 and already making 385 apiece. Also in workshop. My kitchen workers seem not to make much money.

I have just got a lady who is an "Online Store Operator" and at level 1 she is earning $15. Looking through this thread it seems that it is the same pay scale for all who start on the same salary. So I am hopeful that she will be earning $690 before long!! The only problem is having children and interrupting her career progression, hopefully they'll be able to adopt a few.

I went over this thread and another thread and wrote down a listing of the pay for Level 8 (Master)for each one I could find. Here is an alphabetical listing:

I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread, enabling me to gather this information. I also want to thank those who didn't have any at level 8, many times our peeps don't live to reach that level, so it's nice to see the lower levels as well.

* The information regarding the Day Trader occupation is marked because it apparently can reach $410 at one point and then drops back down to end at $240. (Reported by Lewanda -- thanks for that info, Lewanda!)

eta -- I tried to get the dollar amounts to line up, but just couldn't, sorry.

Here is a link to the other thread which I used to add to the information on this thread:

Again, thanks to everyone who has contributed. I couldn't have come up with this without your help!

Awesome Job Simsane!

Thanks so much! That is really helpful

I'll add some more tomorrow to save for an updated list if you feel like it

Glad you like it bethlham! I actually first hand-wrote each one and then used Officeorg's word processing program to type them up and sort them. Then I copied them here, so it wasn't that much work, really. I was a word processor for 10 years ('87-'97) back when that was still a job you could actually get, lol! So it wasn't much trouble at all.

If I can get some of mine to actually make it to Master then I'll be able to add more too. Oh, and did you know that there is a Dress Maker as well as a Dress Designer? I didn't know that and I have a Dress Maker in my game -- didn't really notice that there was a difference until I made this list. But she's not very high yet, only level 2 or 3 right now so I don't know what the max salary is for that career.

Anyway, I figure that yes, I can update it when I get enough new ones to make it worthwhile.

That is great job,Simsane.

Thank you, emri.

Thank you Sweetheart! I copied these. I see a few here that I haven't had, and it will make it easier when I have to choose my next gen's now.

Yea, that's what I was thinking myself, that's why I wanted to make the list. It can also help when you're just starting out though too. Glad people like it, I was worried that I would get in trouble posting two such long posts.

Wow, and I've turned down pen designer's thinking they wouldn't make anything. Now I'm in the know! LOL!!!!

No, I think people want to know those things. Would you believe that I've had peeps with all those careers that I posted? Some of mine are in fifth gen now. Wow virtual time sure does fly.

FYI I have a doughnut decorator at master earns 285

Thank you Mynda! When I get enough to make it worth making a new one, I will add yours in. I'm currently working on a few that weren't in the list yet too but none of mine have reached level 8 yet so I can't add them yet.

Thanks!!!

I think we may be looking at this the wrong way. The list of career names seems to be massive, however the pay scales seem limited in number. In other words, any job title with a starting salary of $15 will have the exact same pay at levels 2-7 as any other job with the same beginning pay and will end up with the largest pay at master. Any job title beginning at $45 will have the same pay at each job level as any other job with that beginning pay.

Maybe we just need a list of the pay scales.

After we know the pay for each job level, the job title shouldn't really matter that much, except for the "perfect match" trophy. I would rather try to get my couples working in the same room for upgrade reasons (especially first gen.)

Pay scale info gleaned from this thread so far:
(1) 15. (2) 30, (3) ?, (4) ?, (5) 174, (6) 270, (7) 450, (8) 690
(1) 45, (2) 54, (3) 66, (4) 81
(1) 45,(2) 60, (3) 75, (4) 90, (5) 120, (6) 165, (7) 210, (8) 270
(1) 60, (2) 75, (3) 90, (4) 114, (5) 144
(1) 75, (2) 90, (3) 114, (4)
(1) 90, (2) 105, (3) 129, (4) 144, (5) 168, (6) 195, (7) 234, (8) 300
(1) 105, (2) 135, (3) 174, (4) 204, (5) 240, (6) 282

That's actually a good idea, but I am hoping that people still post the Master Level salaries for a little longer just to verify that assumption. I mean, that all jobs that start at $15 per hour end up the same at level 8, etc. I'm assuming you and the few others that have said that are correct, but I would like to verify that for sure anyway.

If it does turn out to be true though, then your idea is a much better idea than trying to make a list with every possible job title as there seems to be LOTS! lol!

I don't remember how much they started at but right now I have two masters:

Level 8 Hacker makes $270
Level 8 Tech Consultant makes $270 as well

Should we just assume the majority of computer jobs make about the same amount at the end? I have several more peeps who will be reaching master shortly so I'll check back in then.

Megolopolis, I don't think that all computer jobs actually have the same level 8 pay, but the ones that start at the same pay definitely appear to have the same ending pay. I know that at least some of the computer jobs end at $300 instead of $270 though. It seems to me that the ones that end at $300 start at $90 but I just can't remember for sure. I will have to go into the game and "Adopt" a character to see what the starting pay is for some of the ones where I know they end at $300 to find out for sure.

It's not true for all salaries. All those $15 inventors usually go to 690 and so but my box maker started at 15 and ended up at master rank as only 210. Spice mixer makes 300 at level 8 if you don't have that

Okay, due to a PC crash I had to restart my families...but here are the last updates I had at the time

Wood Sculptor: (7)225
Dental Tool Maker: (8)420

Pasta Maker: (6)180; (7)225
Dress Designer: (8)420

Candy Maker: (7)234; (8)300
Candler Maker: (8)300

More to follow!

Re: muzzy

Yeah. I noticed just in the data collected that there were two different salary progressions starting at $45. I started a new game on another log-in so I can test them all beginning at $15 and see what happens at master.

I suppose what we should do is collect the salaries at as many levels as possible and post the data, especially a beginning salary with a master salary.

BayouBlonde and everyone else who is helping out with this, I just wanted to say that you guys have a lot of good ideas and thank you for all your help. I promise I will sit and go over all the posts in this thread that were added after I put the first listing up and add the data to my lists but I still want to wait until we have a few more.

Oh, and I must be a complete failure at this game as I've still only had one Master, lol! But, maybe it's because when I finally decided to add version .05 (night before last) I deleted all my current families and started over. I am hoping that it's easier to get to Master after the house has had some upgrades and you start out with enough money to buy all organic foods, etc. So, I'm basically hoping that it's easier from the second generation on -- so far I haven't really given them a chance.

Now I have a level 7 Lobbyist making $345 and a master Video Game Designer @$690!!!! I'll check in when my lobbyist gets her last promotion. My respect for office jobs is growing.

BTW these two are 50 and 51 and still run around the house like kids despite their age and rapid job progression. Love them!

I'll add Screenwriter at level 8 is $510, I'm kind of guessing here, (bad memory), but I think she started at $45.

I had some time and went through and got a bunch of career names and starting salaries. I've added the ending salary if I could find it. The jobs are arranged alphabetically, and there might be a job or two (or more) missing :-)

Sinsame, I know I posted some of these before but can't remember exactly which ones. You can use these in the list you're making up. I've had a few more reach master 8 since I last posted them, also since then I've started making a note of the beginning salary too, so we can see if it has anything to do with the ending salary. This many master's makes me look like a real VF addict doesn't it? LOL!!!!

HERE'S THE SALARIE'S MY PEEPS HAVE HAD AT MASTER 8:
VIDEO GAME DESIGNERS $690 at Master (8)
SOAP INVENTOR $690 at Master (8) (Who would have thought?

LOBBYIST $420 at Master (8)
DRESS DESIGNER $420 at Master (8)
NON-FICTION WRITER (Beginning Salary $36.) $390

DAY TRADER Pay fluctuates but ends with $240 at Master (8)
ONLINE GOLD FARMER $210 at Master (8)
KEY MAKER $210 at Master (8

my Fresh Pasta Maker just made master at $285.

Not even all the $15 inventors, I have to check when I get home, but my Cocktail inventor started at $15 but mastered below $300.

No worries, Simsane. I'm still playing the first version because I bought mine from shockwave. heh
The only time I buy organics is when they are on sale and have had absolutely no problems with health unless an illness hits just after I shut down for the night and it is left untreated for a while. I always praise "healthy" behaviors (working out, quick workout, enjoying sounds of nature, relaxing, etc.) and health always raises quickly.
Work room upgrades DO seem to make a difference in promotion speed.(I play 8 families on two windows logins.) I always have at least one of the two adults at master, usually both.
My experiment with salaries beginning at $15 resulted in several different ending pay grades with only a few maxing at $690. Unfortunately, my daughter fell ill just as they were all maxing out and I was barely able to run in and feed everyone, so I didn't have the time to make notes of all the job titles and master salaries as I had hoped.
Hopefully I can post a list of some that I do remember later today. Just glancing over the posts above I can say that the Online Store Operator definitely maxes at 690.

BayouBlonde, I don't think it is the first version of VF. I'm pretty sure there were patches before it went to the game portals. It is easy to check to see what version you are running -- click on the main button -- look on the bottom left of your screen for the version number.

I think our theories have some flaws in them, or the game has some code we aren't taking into consideration.

I had a Day Trader level 1 at $105/day marry a Boardgame Designer level 2 at $105 a day. They were doing well, getting the same pay, and I made them have a baby. Dad got a promotion while mom was carrying the kid. As soon as she put the kid down, she went back to her job Day Trading. Her next promotion, to level 2? Now her salary is only $90. Either a bug, or we don't know enough about the jobs to see everything. To me, it looked like she got demoted for not working for two years.

Actually, I think that's just a feature for that particular job. In the chart I made, I actually explained that would happen with that particular job. I haven't actually ever played anyone with that job, but another member, Lewanda, kept great records and that's what happened to her as well.

It's possible that there may be other jobs that are like that too though. There are so many available that I really don't know for sure yet.

**eta -- My original post is on page three of this thread.

Day Traders Salary is market driven, just as in real life!

Makes total sense, swedane.

Yeah, version said .00 and I have always had the problems with tired / exhausted, which is how I found these forums and was my reason for using two windows logins (the other was set with reverse night/day. But... sad news... I just did a windows update and had to restart the pc (I rarely restart my pc.) When I did and started my game I found that ALL my families had been deleted... on BOTH windows users. Even my daughter's families are gone... all 3rd and 4th gens gone... all house upgrades and repairs gone.. collections gone... trophies gone... I'm disgusted and upset and at this point I don't even want to think about starting over. It was great fun while it lasted. Give me a few days to cool down and I'm sure I'll be back.
The way shockwave works is it uses my net connection to obtain a key each time I start the game (I have a monthly subscription.) I think what happened is they finally uploaded the updated version, it installed when I restarted the pc and poof, my families were gone - because now I have version .05

I agree about the day traders' pay scale. I think it was made specifically to reflect the recent "economic crisis."

Oh, BayouBlonde -- I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope that after a while you'll feel better about starting everything over again and then will be able to enjoy it without something like that ever happening again.

Thanks Simsane. I couldn't stand not playing. I'm a true addict. lol WOW at the changes in the updates. Tons of new actions. I can't tell much difference at all in the energy level so far, but I noticed they "starved" overnight. At first I panicked thinking I had not provided enough food, but that was not the case. I had to make each family sit down to a meal twice this morning before they became full. Their fed levels are dropping quickly and they don't seem to be able to learn to prepare meals for themselves any more, which I find strange. If I have to feed them several times a day I won't be able to run as many families as I did before, so I won't be able to provide as much data. I did manage to get several started at $15 and chose a few that we need data on, so we'll see how it goes.

As a correction to my earlier post, the Cocktail Inventor, which started at $15 masters at $330.

I may have imagined this, (it was late at night) but it seemed that the same job did not always start at the same starting salary. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this?

Maybe they were just similar sounding jobs...

I had too much free time. I've compiled a google spreadsheet for all the info we've posted. I've noticed a few inconsistencies but made my best guess. Please continue posting your updates in this thread! I will periodically check back and republish.

Meanwhile, I'm also compiling links and stuff on my Squidoo page. http://www.squidoo.com/virtual-families

I love the spreadsheet! Nice work, mosaic. I only wish it were sortable.

I hate that we can only edit our posts for such a short period of time. I would just paste this in my post above. Much of it is duplicate info. I'm trying to get more with salaries beginning at 45 as it seems that is where there is an inconsistency in our data. But, as I am starting over with all first gens again, I needed to throw in some I knew would max at 690 to give myself some nice work room upgrades to ensure master level data. I started several new ones today and if I still have extra time in the next couple of days, I might start another user to give us some more. Some are being played by my daughter, so I will have some holes in my data here and there.

Edit: I forgot to say that I am also intentionally trying to take some of those job titles that have been posted as not falling into the main pay scales so that I can confirm the reported information. For example, with pen designer, although the master salary was reported to be different than others beginning at the same level, so far it seems to be on the same pay scale, so the master salary reported may have been an error.

Edit 2: The master salary previously reported for Pen Designer was indeed an error. It is on the same standard pay scale as the other job titles beginning at 15 and masters at 690.

I never noticed this until last night when I was thinking about starting a new game. Not all of the potential adoptees are beginners. I think that's what led to my confusion about certain starting salaries. There are a few novice adoptees mixed in with the beginners.

I have a Day Trader - his salary changes every day - very cute!
the most he has made in a day is 640, but the next day he was back to 60

Kalon, yes that is correct. Some start as novice, level 2. This is also true with proposals. Some new spouses are level 2 as well.

Thanks BayouBlonde. I've added your numbers.

What would you like to sort them by? I could just create another tab and copy the spreadsheet to the second tab and sort it that way.

Either beginning or master salary would be great for me. Simsane and I were looking at the salaries from two different perspectives to give us a clearer picture of how things work. I'm looking at the pay scales and how they vary (or don't vary) from job to job, rather than looking at each particular job. I only pay attention to job title when it falls outside the most common pay scales highlighted in bold in my post above. Thanks so much for all your hard work and a big thanks to all those have contributed to this thread!

OK, an ethical question. Is it wrong that when I have the option to move on a generation, that I go to Family, hit New Generation and cycle through each child with the Try Again button. If I don't see a good 690 master occupation among them, I close VF and restart it. Same kids, all new occupations. Am i an awful cheater? I've done this up to two dozen times before getting what I was after. And so far, once I get a big breadwinner, I marry the first person that shows up on V-Harmony (hey it's like e harmony but virtual ) Because i want to have a child as soon as possible. This will also let me know early on if one or both of them have infertility issues. Hey man, making a power family is often brutal! lol

I think that's an exploit not a cheat! And I didn't know it worked that way...getting new careers!

LOL! Well, I wouldn't say it is wrong, but if money is your motive you might want to consider some other things. The repairs and upgrades already done on the house give you more time to spend on mastering jobs. More workroom upgrades mean faster time to reach master level, which means more money in the bank in less time. The fastest way to earn money is bank interest, and trust me - it PILES up over the generations.

That said, I DO choose my next generation based on the salary information we have gathered here (meaning I choose the one I know will have the largest master salary) and I try everything possible to get 6 kids from each couple so I have as many heirs to choose from as I can get. But, I also choose the spouse based on the salary information from here. Although I won't refuse more than two proposals.

Edit: Ohhhhhh!!!! I just now realized what you were saying!! DOH! That's awesome!!

Just had my shoe maker cap at 690, I didn't write down the other levels but I think they were on par with most of the $15 start jobs.

BBQ Sauce creator ends at 690, I didnt get the rest but i have another now so i will keep you posted... I also have a shoe maker i will try to catch the other levels of that one too.

*Also, BayouBlonde, would you mind if i took the information that you have and put it in a spreadsheet so we can put it in the game guide?

Thanks for the replies. I fully expect them to follow the main pay scales and am mainly posting them for mosaic and Simsane to have for their collections.

If anyone can help fill in any of the ?s in the Salary Table in this post or can add to the information needed to complete this spreadsheet that would be greatly appreciated!

We especially need information on jobs with salaries that have a beginning pay of 54 or 75, as those pay scales have a lot of holes. Salaries for Poet and Wood Sculptor also need to be confirmed, if anyone has those.

Thanks for all the help!

*Edit: I don't mind at all. Do you think I can get a copy of the game guide out of it? hehe

Um, If you can tell me how...lol


Wait, are you meaning the actual game guide? I was talking about putting it here

Yes, I was alluding to the actual game guide, but I was only joking with you, sweetie. I knew where you meant and I would be delighted to have it used there.

O ok!

Poet:Apprentice(3)66; Lisenced(4)114 also, in the spreadsheet that is mentioned above, there is a 'typo'(i guess) but the accountant makes 75 at Novice, Not at beginner...

Hmm... so perhaps the poet actually began on the 36 pay scale? Maybe the starting salary for that one was reported incorrectly. Please stick with it and report as many levels as you can.

A few pages back we discussed that some new adoptees and some new spouses actually start at the novice level rather than beginner and that caused some errors in the beginning of our data collection.

That spreadsheet was created by mosaic, so it would be up to him to update it. Credit for collecting all the information on careers goes to Simsane. I used his data in addition to what I had collected to come up with the pay scales. And, of course, data submission was done by the wonderful VF community on these forums.

Thanks for the help!

i have the information almost complete I need information for the following careers
BASKET MAKER, COCKTAIL INVENTOR, DAY TRADER, DRY FRUIT PACKAGER, FILM PROCESSOR, JOURNALIST, LAWYER, MUSIC CRITIC, NONFICTION WRITER, POET, SCREENPLAY WRITER, SOUP TASTER, TECH CONSULTANT, TELEMARKETER, and the TOOL MAKER.
I have some of each of these but post whatever you have. Also if anyone has the whole pay scale for the day trader, i would love to have it just to verify everyone's findings!!

You have basically the same list as I do.
I"m working on confirmation of several of them right now. Most master out tomorrow morning, but I will be out of town. I think it's obvious which of the 45 pay scales they are on though.
Basket Maker (1) 45 (2) 60 (3) 75 (4) 90 (5) 120 (6) 165
Screenplay Writer (1) 36, (2) 54 (3) 66 (6) 240 (7) 450
Soup Taster (1) 45 (2) 54 (3) 66 (4) 81 (5) 99
I also have an envelope stuffer going as I was unsure which of the 45 pay scales they were on.

Edit: correcting an error in screenplay writer level 3 - my eyes jumped down a line

I've updated the spreadsheet and added 2 more tabs. One sorts by beginner salaries, one by master salaries. Of course, the ones that are missing end up at the bottom of the list.

Wow, everyone is so busy. I don't check this thread for a few days and lots more data has come in! Thanks for helping out! You guys are doing all the work!

envelope stuffer- master $210

Thanks Mosaic for starting the spreadsheet. I am sure about the Online Gold Farmer starting at $42 not $45 as I was keeping track before I found your comprehensive list. I have also seen other posts about a different salary path starting at $42 than the ones starting at $45 but I can't find them now. Anyone else had that experience?

Delaney,
How do you close out and restart for more options with the childrens salaries? Once in the new generation screen, I don't seem to have an option to leave that screen before selecting a child...

I was wondering the same thing cause I don't have an option to close out of that screen either. Do you use your Ctrl/Alt/Delete to shut the game down?


I want to tell people sorry for dropping the ball on this thread -- I'm really glad others have picked it up for me. I have just been too into playing, lol! I finally have 3, 4 and even one 5th gen families and have been so engrossed in them that I keep forgetting to write stuff down. I'll try to remember to pay more attention again.

Anyway, kudos to everyone else who has been working so diligently on this thread and the information contained in it!

It's good to hear from you, Simsane. I have to admit, I have been a lil caught up in real life stuff the past few days and haven't been keeping track of salary data as well as I was. I should have long finished the pay scales by now. I think one more windows user would give me all the remaining salary data I need to have a complete list; I just simply don't have the time at the moment. Congrats on your multi gens - I'm glad you're enjoying the game!

Yes, I think they use ctrl/alt/del to close the game for the salaries and the tax emails as well.

Ditto the pats on the backs to those who have picked up work and helped out so much with this thread.

You don't need to use Ctrl+Alt+Delete, just click on the X at the top right-hand corner of the window, without accepting any of the choices. Dunno about what someone playing in full screen would do, but Alt+F4 should work.

Hi to you, as well, Bayou Blonde! [[simsane's waving and smiling]]

I didn't think of Alt+F4 arnie, thanks! Yea, I do play fullscreen, I can't stand playing most games in a window. Weird, I know, but that's me -- uberweird, lol!

Thank you, Arnie. I do play in full screen. I didn't stop to think about Alt+F4. I appreciate this response!

this is my list. there are still a few missing and if you can, feel free to fill them in! This Is a VERY Long post as there is 104 Jobs on it. Sorry that its so long. Also, the Day Traders Novice Salary is 60. I went to my other user acct. and acted as if i was going to start a new game. i went through them until i saw no more jobs that were not on my list. I saw a Novice Day Trader and for salary it said 60. Also The Poet does start at 45 Not 36! hope this helps...

(edit) I wanted to add that this information was gathered from throughout this thread, Some from Mosiac(sorry if i didnt spell that right). But For the most part The credit for this should go to BayouBlonde and Simsane, They have worked hard to keep this thread going. And to all of you who have contributed. the main thing i have done is put it all in one place, I just figured, i would add this, i dont want anyone to think that i am taking the credit for something that i truly didnt have much to do with...Thanks for letting me help.

Thanks so much, Vanna.
Here's some of your missing info - this is from my own data, on this window's user:
Screenplay Writer (1) 36, (2) 54 (6) 240 (7) 450 (8) 510
Day Trader (1) 105 (3) 84 (4) 165

I may have some on the other user names. I'll check them and post if I do.

Poet at Master Level is $510

Translator at Master Level is $300

Vanna and company! Such a great job!!

Rats! I've got a math tutor now. I didn't save the first couple, but level 4 is 81. I'll keep you posted. She's "carrying twins" right now, so it'll be a bit.

Thank you, However I have not done much. Most of the information that is on my list came from everyone else... Simsane and BayouBlonde Deserve ALOT of the credit...

Thank you Vanna, but I've been really slack on this thread for a while now, so don't give me any credit. I need to take the time to start over and recreate my charts based on all the new info that everyone's been adding. I try to remember to write down the pay for the different levels, but half the time I'll open my game and they've gone from say, level 3 to level 5 and I never even saw the pay for level 4, lol! That's mainly why I was just trying to list the pay for level 8 as once it's at that, it stays at that level.

This is some really great information perhaps they could add some kind of chart with all the careers and salary levels as an appendage to the official guide.

I am working on it marigene. I have almost all of the salaries complete. once i get them complete i am going to show an admin and see if they will put it in the guide!!

Great! Vanna, glad to hear someone is on same wavelength as i am. I just printed mosaic's google spreadsheet and it is a really comprehensive guide I would love to have the full list though. I installed the game on both my laptop and desktop so now have a family going on each.I'll check my peeps and see where they are career wise, maybe I can fill in a few blanks

the list of what i have so far is on page 10, You would have to copy and paste into a word pad or something though because i have not uploaded the file yet. I will let you know as soon as i do!!

Main Pay Scales / Salary Curves:
(1) 15, (2) 30, (3) 54, (4) 108, (5) 174, (6) 270, (7) 450, (8) 690

(1) 54, (2) 66, (3) 75, (4) 96?, (5) 120?, (6) ?, (7) ?, (8) 240 [Telemarketer]



For Vanna:
Screenplay writer is on the main 36 curve (1) 36, (2) 54 (3) 81, (4) 120, (5) 159,(6) 240, (7) 450, (8) 510 (level 5 is the only one I missed)

Day Trader (1) 105 (3) 84 (4) 165 (5) 120 (6) 96 (7) 510 (8) 240 (missed novice level)

Day trader novice level is 60. I opened a new game and got one just so i could figure out the pay scale for it. also thanks for screenplay writer, I also have a poet (which i missed 3 & 4)(she is a big time work-a-holic) but 5)99 and 6)120 She hasn't reached 7 yet, hehe...she is only 30 it wont be long!! Oh and she already has 6 kids...

I NEED
Cocktail Inventor 2,3, and 8(to make sure it is all correct)
Film Processor 2-8 But we could figure out which with level 8
Ketchup bottler 2-8, we could figure it out with level 8
Non Fiction writer 3-7
Poet 3 & 4
Telemarketer 6 & 7
Wood Sculptor, we have some but would appreciate them all to clarify...

Day Trader novice has also been reported at 90 in this post. If you search the forums, you can find multiple posts with all different salaries reported for every level of day trader salary except the beginning salary, which is always 105.
This post
Level 2 pays 60
There are many others, but those are the ones that mention the novice level pay.

Oh nice - thanks for the poet info! (Looks like she might max out at 210?)

poet level 7 is 360!

i have twins just turned 18
will they start careers?
when?

Dzrt1st - Children do not have careers. Between the ages of 18 & 19 they will go off to college, and once the parents pass, the twins will be in your new generation selection process, with careers then. (Note: Only one person will be able to carry on the new generation)

Poet Level 8 is 510

So, Vanna, what are your figures for poet altogether?
I'm going to compare with the three other lists I have and see if I can get us a complete pay scale out of them. It looks like it is definitely a separate scale of it's own though.

Poet is 45, 54, (i missed 3 and 4) 99, 120, 360, 510.
she progressed too fast to and i missed 3 and 4, i will try to get another poet on one of my next Generation families.
Here is what i have for Day Trader 105, 60, 84, 165, 120, 96, 510, 240

Wow, if I ever have another day trader I'll stop them at level 7.

I have a telemarketer and cocktail inventor running now. I just hope I don't miss the ones we need for those.

The funny thing is, you missed the exact same levels of poet as I did! I have (3) 66? but from two sources and (4) 114? only one source and it doesn't seem to "fit" with the rest of the scale. My other numbers match yours and are the same as those I collected myself.

Oddly enough, our day traders had the exact same scale. tkd, that is exactly what I did - I kept my day trader at level 7 as long as I possibly could. I would stop her from working and kept her nursing as much as possible. hehe

Yea, i have those also, but i agree, it doesn't seem to fit. I think someone used your pay scale and added in information thinking that it would be the same up until level 8. The whole day trader has got me confused. How/why would they program it so that most levels were different besides one. I think since we both have the same info on the day trader we should think about Just putting in that scale. I personally think it would have been too difficult to program (only one career) that fluctuates at all levels for each player, I think we were misinformed about the other levels Like 3 different ones for novice. I am going to go ahead and get another day trader and see how the pay scale does once more. if it is the same i am going to leave it as i have it in the chart. Hope that's okay. Let me know when you have the cocktail Inventor and telemarketer.

My Poet running right now is 45, 54, 66, 81... so far.

Looks like the usual progression until the last 2 when they go crazy. I'm looking forward to Master (need the money)

Sorry I'm so late getting this posted. I'm afraid it's missing some info too. My baby brother showed up (from out of state) with his girlfriend, to surprise the family. So, needless to say, I've been a bit busy.

Here's the updates I have:

Main Pay Scales / Salary Curves:
(1) 15, (2) 30, (3) 54, (4) 108, (5) 174, (6) 270, (7) 450, (8) 690

Nonfiction Writer (1) 36 (2) ? (3) 57 (4) ? (5) 87 (6) 165 (7) 225 (8) 390

I think I've been abandoned here.

My second Nonfiction Writer:
(1) 36 (2) 45 (3) 57 (4) ? (5) 87 (6) 165 (7) 225 (8) 390
I have two more Day Traders running right now with very interesting results.
(1) 105 (2) 60 (3) 84
(1) 105 (2) 60 (3) 84 (4) ? (5) 120
Hopefully I'll have the masters on these soon, depending on how often they have babies.

Main pay scales to be updated soon. I still need more info on wood sculptor, cocktail inventor and telemarketer, if anyone has those missing levels.

For what it's worth, my Day Trader stuck to the same progression you posted:

(1) 105 (2) 60 (3) 84 (4) 165 (5) 120 (6) 96 (7) 510 (8) 240

I have been keeping track of my peeps salaries progressions almost from the start (five families, two of which are gen. 7, two gen. 6, and one 5), so if there's anything I can do to add to the information here, I'd enjoy being able to help. Today was the first time I ran across this thread, and I'm thrilled to find the info compiled here. Many thanks to those who have taken the time to put this together.

Went back and looked through some more, and found I had a Nonfiction Writer whose salary progression was:

(1) 36 (2) 45 (3) 57 (4) 72 (5) 87 (6) 165 (7) 225 (8) 390

Awesome! Thanks so much for confirming those.

Hi. Salary info for Wood Sculptor is: (2) 75 (3) 90
Telemarketer: (6) 165

I have been keeping up my peep's salaries since the very begining and have quite a spreadsheet list. I also was curious about the careers, so before I started one family, I went through peep after peep after peep, noting down career and salary level before I finally adopted one and started that family. I have a list of 103 different careers.

Be sure to check out the spreadsheet that Mosaic posted in this thread. It's on page 7.

ok, bye bye perfect match trophy...

Ah don't give up on it Moonlyght...I've had it twice.

NEW PROFESSION

One of my peeps had a job that is not on the list: FICTION WRITER

(don't know the salary, though)

MoonLyght, here's the salary for fiction writer:
"FICTION WRITER $390 at Master 8

Here are some others I've had since my last post on salaries:
BOARD GAME DESIGNER (Beginning at $90) $300 at Master (8)
WATCH FIXER (Beginning at $90.) $300. at Master (8)
TOASTER REPAIRER $45 At master 8 $210
PARALEGAL (Beginning at $60) at Master 8 $285.
SALAD PACKAGER (Beginning at $45) at Master 8 $210.
TALENT AGENT (Beginning at $15) Master 8 $690
PERSONAL COOK (Beginning at $105) Master 8 $420

Thanks for the update Lewanda!

One of the children turned out to be a fiction writer, but I didn't adopted that one, so no idea about the salary.

You'll get the trophy Moonlyght - just make more families!! hehe I have three perfect matches, but it's only because I have so many families I'm sure. I only had one before I updated my game and started over.

Oops, my bad. I left it out. This is what we have for Fiction Writer: (1) 60 (2) 75 (3) 90 (4) ? (5) ? (6) ? (7) ? (8) 390

Thanks to Lewanda for the master salary. It looks like it may be on the same 60 scale as Wood Sculptor.

Lewanda, I just started two new toaster repairers, less than ten minutes before coming to forums! lol I wish I hadn't now. :P Thanks so much for the info!
