Link to video Whenever Hourglass has mouse and can do this game this is top priority. Highlights including making friends with clones of yourself in a hot tub to satisfy job requirements.[/video]

I dunno Patashu, it's pretty cool at first, but it's a lot of the exact same thing. I don't think it will be very interesting for all of the 25-30 minutes. I think other games should take priority over this. Anyway, I watched most of the video in double speed and still found it a bit too long. Your highlight summary makes it sound better than the video really is.

Yeah, the run is repetitive alright. But I found the concepts behind the run very hilarious, and that kept me watching. Guess it would make a decent TAS... Does The Sims have other possible goals than getting the best career?

Super fast "normal" gameplay mayhap? Like a tool-assisted playthrough that is. For example making a family of 4+ and always use max speed when playing. It could either be a playaround where you can show off interesting and silly stuff (if it'd be possible to see it that is) and build a house/family worthy of a TAS. Alternatively just try to reach max career with everyone in the family, all using different jobs.

Yeah, what makes it so interesting is how absurd and unlike normal The Sims play it is. The commentary helps, and also having watched a non tutorial abuse career% helps a lot (where you're seriously at the mercy of RNG, your sim has to balance their needs with getting skills up while desperately trying to find and maintain friends).
