Trivia
- The Conversationist career is the only career in The Sims 4 with completely different branch icons. Rather than using its main track's icon with a smaller icon overlayed in the lower-right corner, these branches abandon the original icon altogether, instead using the same icons as their reward traits, Natural Speaker and Master of the Sea.
- The marine biologist branch of this career is extremely similar to the oceanography career from The Sims 2: FreeTime.
