Police Station

20170801 183318 kindlephoto-1955009 — The Police Station

The Police Station is a workplace next to the Community Center and Deer Spring Falls. It is the first of three Professions, starting in the Police Update in June 2016. It is similar to the Police career in The Sims 4.

Overview

To get the Police Station, players must meet the requirements to build it. Depending on how many houses and other buildings already built, the cost for the station varies for players. When they have reached the required cost, players can then build the station.

Players follow two sims and help them with their shifts. They start at 'Rookie' level 1 and help 25 NPCs (non-player characters) to level up. When they reach level six, they are assigned two new roles, one each: 'Special Agent' and 'Metro Police.' Players must continue to level up their Sims to level ten to unlock new areas and new options.

In the Doctor, Doctor Update in 2016, when sims reach level ten they will unlock new outfits: the Sim-in-Black for Special Agent and Police Commissioner for Metro Police.
