The first big add expansion for Sims 4 now lets you get to work properly in the game! Do you want to rule over employees? Be a good or bad boss? Start a shop or track down criminals, learn photography or deliver babies? Well, all this and more is now available in ‘Get To Work’. (Don’t forget, this will require the Sims 4 base game to play).
With this add on you can take control of all aspects of your Sims’ working lives and play a new set of career paths. An interesting note here. If you hated the fact that Sims 4 left you out of working life, this now changes with the new careers, where you can go to work with your Sims. Importantly, (now this is a good idea) if like me, you always have one major character in a household, you can follow that Sim and allow the others to toddle off to work without having to follow them – great in a household with lots of adults who do different jobs. Detectives can now check out a crime sce-ne, dust for prints, and arrest the criminals.
As a scientist you can create amazing inventions and even control the minds of other Sims! Working as a doctor you can make house calls and perform emergency operations, as well as helping proud parents to bring forth their little Sims. You also get to work in all new surroundings, with new interactions and daily goals to level up in your career. There’s a police station for the detective, and a hospital for the doctor, and even a science lab! You start small, with menial jobs – drinking coffee or chatting to co-workers – but as you progress your ‘challenges’ become more difficult. Kind of like real life!
And, if you don’t fancy any of that, you can now create the business of your dreams – from the ground up. You can design, customise and manage your own company, selecting what types of products to sell, hire and fire, manage prices and make sales. You can design anything from an art gallery to a bridal store, from a bookstore to a baker’s. And, the nice thing about having your own business is that you can follow your Sims to work and become fully immersed in the experience, unlike the other existing careers.
There are lots of other little tweaks such as the fact that you can now customise your own aliens (not sure why!) and visit the alien homeworld, plus various gadgets and gizmos that you haven’t seen before.
We are huge Sims fans here at Booked, so are really pleased that overall Sims 4 Get To Work has added some much need-ed content to the base game, and given players more to do, which has got to be
a good thing. However, to ever become a worthy successor to Sims 3, we are just going to have to wait for more expansion packs, I fear!
Now, if they could only open up the world again so we don’t have to hang about through all those loading screens…
7 out of 10!
