Faster promotions and Barista career cheats
When your work performance gets close to the promotion line, you have a 1% base chance for an early promotion. The Entrepreneurial trait multiplies this chance by 10, while the Growth Mindset moodlet multiplies it by 5. If your performance hits the bottom line, you face a 100% demotion chance unless you have the Professional Slacker trait, which multiplies that risk by 0.
You can also use cheats in Live mode to change your rank right away. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac to open the console, then type testingcheats true.
Type careers.promote PartTime_Barista to move up one level, or careers.demote PartTime_Barista to drop down. You can also use careers.add_career PartTime_Barista to join the job, or careers.remove_career PartTime_Barista to quit.
