Scout schedule, hours, and pay
Your Sim attends Scout meetings on Saturday and Sunday. Each shift starts at 14:00 and lasts for 2 hours, so your Sim spends 4 hours per week in the activity. This weekend schedule stays the same from level 1 through level 5.
Pay never increases as your Sim moves up the ranks. Every level from Llama Scout to Llamacorn Scout pays 0 Simoleons per hour and 0 Simoleons per week. Your Sim also earns 0 paid days off per day worked.
Career branches and pay bonuses in Scouting
The Scout activity does not split into separate branches. Every Child and Teen Sim follows the single track from level 1 to level 5. You do not have to choose a specialization as your Sim advances.
The game files list a 10% hourly pay bonus for Sims with the Business Savvy trait at every level. However, because the base pay is 0 Simoleons per hour, this trait bonus adds nothing to your weekly earnings. If your Sim quits, the days to level loss is 0.
Faster promotions and Scout career cheats
When your work performance is close to the promotion line, you have a 1% base chance of an early promotion. No traits or multipliers change this 1% chance. The game also lists no demotion chance when performance falls.
You can 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 enter testingcheats true.
Type careers.promote Scouting to move up one level, or type careers.demote Scouting to drop down one level. You can also use careers.add_career Scouting to join the activity or careers.remove_career Scouting to quit.
