Additional earnings as an Conservationist
Career of Conservationist gives you an opportunity to earn money in two ways - this will help to increase your income.
- Writing articles about Conservation / Ecology - just select this option on your computer and after a while your Sim will write an article for which you can receive about 150 Simoleons.
- Getting data from research and survey - it is a slightly more difficult method, but it brings more benefits. First, you need to find the green spot on the water (as shown in the picture above) and select "Get a sample from the ocean" option. Thus, you will receive a sample that must be analyzed in the inventory. This way, you will receive research data that you can sell to the Nature Channel for 170 Simoleons or send to a research center, which will give you 70 Simoleons and a better chance of promotion at work.
