Sims can do this in one of two career paths for the Civil Design career, which are:

• Civic Planners take direct action in their communities by working closely with its people to renovate the town for a cleaner tomorrow.
  • Since they spend their time with their neighbors to come up with solutions, Civic Planners need to work on their Charisma and Logic skills.
• Green Technicians, on the other hand, seek to improve on what’s already here, reusing and upcycling goods to combat pollution from the ground up.
  • Requiring both the brains to invent something and the skill to make it, Green Technicians will build their Fabrication and Logic skills.

Thankfully, this career splits pretty early, allowing you to choose a specialty beginning immediately upon promotion to Level Four.
