I bring you a Bartender Career, requested by partyanimal333 and silverio1975 at Mod the Sims! For this career to show up in game, you’ll need Nraas Careers Mod.

Only the Base Game and Late Night are needed for this career to work as intended. It was made with patch 1.48 and works on patch 1.69.
The career is in English and supports Portuguese (Standard and Brazilian), Dutch, Russian, French, Polish, Chinese, German, Taiwanese, Spanish (Standard and Mexican), Italian and Czech translations. I’ll include translation instructions at the end.

The career is based at the Restaurant (Bistro). To change the designated rabbithole to suit your own requirements, I have a tutorial HERE It has ten levels and focuses on the Athletic, Logic, Charisma and Mixology skills.
There are no uniforms for this career. You can edit career outfits with patch 1.31 and above, so I highly suggest using this feature to give your Sims a uniform of your own choosing 🙂
There are 5 Opportunities available. More details about these opportunities can be found HERE.
Your sim may get a bonus on Snowflake Day if Seasons is installed.
There is no boss for level 10 of the career. For other levels, Bosses can be controlled using Master Controller.
There are four custom tones:
Talk to Customers, which builds the Charisma skill
Talk About Drinks, which builds the Mixology skill
Throw Out Rowdy Patrons (Level 3 Only), which builds the Athletic skill
Restock the Bar (Level 4 Only), which also builds the Athletic skill.
