Would you buy "professions" themed GPs?

In Sims 3 we had a bigger range of active professions that we could play with. We could be Acrobats, Architectural Designer, Daycare, Firefighter, Ghost Hunter, Investigator, Magician, Singer, Stylist and Lifeguards. But, in Sims 4 we still have only 3, that came with GTW, that are Detective, Doctor and Scientist. Maybe the Investigator and the Detective ones are similar, but would you like the others to make a comeback? Would you like newer ones? None of them?
  • I wouldn't buy separate gamepacks, I would buy ONE with ALL of the basic professions we got in the Sims 3. Making them into separate packs is stupid. Better yet, add them in for people who buy GTW. They will make 30-40$ for each purchase instead of 20$, and we all know how much EA loves making us waste money on awful "expansions".

    @Karon what would be the difference between being a police officer and being a detective? I feel like the detective career pretty much covers what police officers do? (Patrolling, apprehending law breakers, endless paper work)
    I feel like if they did change anything it could just be adding emergency calls if burgulars make it in the game which isn’t worth making another career for an add on? (Although you can kind of already be a burglar with the klepto trait and the vampire unlock any door trait).
    But maybe there’s things I’m not seeing and a different police officer career would be great haha :)


    @KatieSim There are many things a police officer can do that a detective can not, but I do not think they would ever put it in The SIms. That would involve putting weapons into the game, and we know they would not do it. But I should have thought of this when creating the poll.

    @SillyCharlie I would put them in GPs for the same reason they put the supernatural in GPs. Most Simmers did not like to compare EPs and find supernatural in them, because they preferred a more realistic gameplay, putting them in GPs gives you the option for the person who wants it or not in their game. So, those who do not like active careers would not have to be forced to buy them to get other gameplay features they wanted.
  • I want the architect career back. I'd like the city living style careers, where they can either go to work or work from home. Maybe the work from home option is renamed "Taking commissions" and they need to complete multiple jobs. Maybe they would make however much on commissions, plus a standard rate if they complete at least 2 or 3 jobs a day.
