rank 6 of Law Enforcement (Vice Squad) you get a Law Enforcement Beeper when a crime happens in the city you and every other Vice Squad+ are called it is a interesting thing to see all the cops flying around the town when it happens

In one level of culinary you get a food processor.

The last level of Symphony music branch you get the best music player.

Just want to clarify something, the food processor you get in your family inventory from Culinary, I already had the one you can buy and checked the names to see if it was different, they seemed to match exactly so I sold the freebie one unlike the Fridge you get at 10 which is vastly superior to any other Fridge you can buy.

Thanks for the constant contributions!

I have a question about careers: When I check to see opportunities it will say something like get a full time job.What does this mean ? Do you have to reach a certain level before your choice is considered a full time job/career? Thanks.

No, there are certain careers that will only be part-time. If you go to the buildings it will either say "get part-time job" or i believe it will say get career in..."

what does the sneak interaction [master thief perk] do?

If you are a thief your house does not get robbed by thieves

In the Politics career:
- you are given opportunities to illegally take money from your campaign funds (this options appears when you reach the level that allows you to ask for donations, which I believe is 4 or 5, and was mentioned previously in an earlier post). I am not sure what the intervals this option occurs at are, but you get more money through this if you raise more funds (not sure what the equation is). As far as I know there is no real drawback (such as getting in trouble with the law) to taking out money, but it will make your funding level contribution to performance either go down or "reset"(so if you have the green big smile under funding before you take funds out illegally it will go down to an orange frowning face, at least it did for me). The amount you get with great funding is quite high (I often got 5,000 simoleans from a single illegal steal, although you might be able to get more than that)

Be careful when taking the money from the campaign fund. My sim got caught and was fired. She had just become the leader of the free world :'(

Sorry if this was already said - I kind of skipped to the end after the OP.

Political: You work 3 days a week (MWF from 9am - 1:30pm), get a limo, and can continue to get raises after level 10 (I think that last is normal, I just noticed you said some can't). My girl's up to 1,162/hour, which is good, because her hubby doesn't work!
