The problem with the station is that both it and the camera are huge and expensive. The photographer Sim must have the photo station in his or her home to take pictures. Players are now able to take pictures of other Sims. Unfortunately, this privilege doesn’t apply to female alien Sims. When completed the Sim can do almost anything. Completing a career and every skill is a huge accomplishment because it is time consuming.

When the male alien Sim is placed into the world he has already accomplished every skill and is the chief of staff in the doctor career. The player can also choose to disguise the alien Sim as a normal Sim and can edit the disguise in CAS mode.
THE SIMS 4 GET TO WORK REVIEW SKIN
You can personalize your aliens by giving them fun makeup and a unique skin color, but there are only three different outfits to choose from for both genders. While in Create a Sim (CAS) mode you can choose to make an alien. However, the town is problematic in that it was advertised as a central shopping center yet it only allows one Sim to live there.Ĭreating and controlling aliens is another great new feature for The Sims expansion pack. Magnolia Promenade includes three real estate businesses and one lot of land that the player can purchase. The expansion pack also comes with a new town, called Magnolia Promenade. The customers storm out of the store if they have to wait too long. Instead of helping the Sim, employees sit around and gossip with customers, leaving the owner to serve as cashier and help every single customer. The player can choose when the store opens and closes which is a great feature because running the store is extremely difficult. Transferring money from the Sims’ household funds to the business fund is a confusing concept. Just like real-life store owners, the Sims use mannequins to sell clothing. The player can personalize the store in build mode, and whatever the player purchases can be sold in the store. “Get to Work” allows players to change an empty lot into a retail store or purchase the store and run it as a business. When the Sim reaches level 10, the highest level, the player can use the invention constructor to create a wormhole and travel to the World of Sixam, a “hidden” new world where the Sim can meet aliens and discover rare objects. In the workplace, there is no boss to directly tell the Sim what to do. This leads to more experimenting and more creative outcomes on projects. The temptation to skip sending a Sim to work grows stronger and stronger in the detective career.Īs a scientist, the player has more freedom to play around with the career options. After moving on in the career, these little annoying tasks never go away, and the game doesn’t reward the player with any benefits. When first starting the job, there are tedious tasks to do. It’s hard to navigate the crime scene and finish quickly. Then the task bar tells the player to find seven more. At the crime scene, it takes forever to find one clue. Detectives must travel to the crime scene, forcing the player to wait for another loading screen to end. The detective career involves investigating crimes, running fingerprints, taking mugshots and photographing crime scenes.

It’s almost impossible to treat everyone, leaving the player feeling guilty. This career is stressful because a lot of Sims become sick at one time. The chief of staff must diagnose the patients, and if the Sim chooses wrongly, he loses money and authority. The higher the rank, the harder the tasks become. In the doctor career, a Sim starts as a nurse who fetches coffee and labs, and she eventually works her way up to chief of staff. It’s overwhelming and stressful for the player because the tasks are never-ending. The taskbar has options and ideas of what should get done in the amount of time available for that procedure.

When finally at the work site, each job has a taskbar just like the one displayed during dates or weddings. This supposedly simple process seems to take forever. When going to work with the Sims, players must patiently wait for another loading screen to get to the workplace. This lets the player have control over multiple Sims in one family and leads to more job opportunities. Each day the Sim attends work, the player has the option to join the Sim or send him alone. The expansion pack comes with four new careers: detective, doctor, scientist and business owner. In the game, jobs reflect reality: they can be enjoyable, yet stressful and time-consuming. With the debut of the new expansion pack “Get to Work,” the Sims 4 game expands the horizons for Sims’ careers.
