SimDash | Delivery Side Hustle by OtterStudio adds a flexible delivery job to The Sims 4, allowing Sims to earn money through a courier-style side hustle instead of following a traditional fixed work schedule.
Using the SimDash app on their phone, Sims can choose when to work, decide how long they want their shift to last, complete delivery orders, build a courier rating, and work toward higher-paying levels. The system is designed to fit around other careers, hobbies, family responsibilities, and everyday activities.
Start Working Through the SimDash App
The SimDash phone app serves as the main hub for the delivery side hustle.
From the app, Sims can access important work information, including:
- Start or end a delivery shift
- Current courier rating
- Current pay rate
- Total earnings
- Available work information
This gives players control over when their Sim works rather than forcing them into a conventional career schedule.
Choose Your Own Shift Length
One of the biggest advantages of the SimDash system is its flexible scheduling.
A delivery shift can last between 4 and 10 hours, allowing players to choose a duration that fits their Sim's plans.
Before starting, the app shows the expected finishing time so you know when the Sim will complete the shift and return home with their earnings report.
If plans change, a shift can also be cancelled before it finishes. Your Sim keeps the money already earned during that shift.
Peak Hour Earnings
Delivery work can become more profitable during certain times of the day.
SimDash offers a 1.25× pay multiplier during two peak periods:
11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Players can therefore plan their Sim's work schedule around these periods when they want to maximize delivery earnings.
Courier Rating and Career Progression
The side hustle includes its own progression system with five courier levels.
New Sims begin as Newbie couriers, earning approximately §11–22 per order.
At the highest level, Elite Courier, earnings increase to around §40–61 per delivery, along with improved tips.
Progression is connected to the quality of your Sim's work. As their courier experience improves, they can advance through the ranks and gain access to more rewarding delivery opportunities.
Skills Can Improve Delivery Performance
Your Sim's existing skills can influence how effectively they handle their courier work.
Mechanics
Mechanics skill helps with transportation-related problems and lowers the likelihood of vehicle breakdowns during deliveries.
Fitness
Fitness helps Sims handle orders more carefully and reduces the chance of accidentally spilling drinks while completing deliveries.
Charisma
Charisma supports better customer communication and can increase the possibility of receiving larger tips.
This gives players another reason to develop their Sim's skills outside of their delivery shifts.
Unexpected Delivery Situations
Delivery work isn't always completely straightforward. During a shift, Sims can encounter special situations that require them to make a decision.
These events add variety to the side hustle and can create different outcomes depending on the player's choice.
Double Order
Your Sim may have the opportunity to accept two orders at the same time.
The advantage is increased earnings, but handling multiple deliveries also creates a greater chance of making a mistake.
VIP Customer
Some deliveries involve a special customer who can provide a larger reward.
However, mistakes on these important orders can result in a lower customer rating.
Restaurant Mistake
A restaurant may occasionally provide the wrong order.
Your Sim then has to decide how to handle the situation, creating another small decision during the workday.
SimDash Social Interactions
The mod also adds a dedicated SimDash social menu with conversations related to delivery work.
Sims can talk about their experiences on the job, including:
- Complaining about difficult customers
- Sharing delivery stories
- Recommending the service to relatives
- Talking about their courier rating
Sims who reach a 4-star rating or higher can also show off their strong performance when talking with other characters.
These interactions can give delivery-focused Sims additional ways to discuss their work and receive unique moodlets afterward.
A Flexible Side Hustle for Different Stories
SimDash is designed around flexibility, making it useful for households where a Sim doesn't want a conventional career schedule.
For example, a Sim could use deliveries as:
- A temporary source of household income
- A side job alongside another career
- A flexible job for a student
- A stepping stone toward financial independence
- A way to earn money between other activities
- A gameplay option for Sims who prefer working on their own schedule
Because players choose the shift length themselves, the career can be incorporated into many different types of Sims 4 stories.
