    @anyalvares That's not a silly question. Having the option to go to the 'gig' (not the audition) with an Actor/Actress is part of the Get Famous pack. Enjoy! 🙌

@anyalvares If you're asking me I would assume you are already seeing things in it that appeal to you in Get to Work, so I would say yes. 🙌

Get To Work is my 2nd favorite pack. It allows you to build, purchase and run retail stores, and I use it a lot. The stores (retail) are my favorite if used to sell my sims' wares. You get a pretty nice profit if you sell high quality skilled items your Sims make (or grow). My Sim households who do this as a large household working and running the store as a group are millionaires now. They do work hard and rotate managing/cooking for the store, etc., but it's a fun, great challenge. Just scale back to make it less work. Still... potential for great money! You can also join your scientist or doctor at work, work with aliens, visit Sixam, and abductions are also introduced. 

My #1 fav pack is Seasons. Very cool, lots of features added, and it adds the gardening careers > Botanist career and the Flower-Arranging career. I've used flower-arranging as a nice combination for my retail stores in 'Get To Work'. And I love all of the gardening aspects of this pack! If you don't have 'Get to Work', you can still work in the career and build the skill and sell arrangements - which can be pricy with certain high quality flowers from your garden. I've had a lot of fun with the features of this pack... and it is WAY cool to see it snow and cover their world...  There are a lot of challenging parts that are a cool switch-up in your worlds in this pack. I see Seasons as a near-essential enhancement to all of the worlds. It adds challenges (weather, etc.), realism, holidays, and so much more!

My 3rd favorite pack is Cats & Dogs. The dogs I have are super cute and add personality and companionship to your household. They love swimming in the pool, too! If you get a cat, get the letter that cleans itself... the top of the line one. Well worth it! A maid & butler will help with the poo in the yard. It is pretty cool, though, if you love pets &/or cuteness. That pack also introduces the Vet career.

@anyalvares, I have to agree with @SheriGR  in that I enjoy the Get to Work EP over the Get Famous EP.  I do love the CAS clothing and hairstyles as well as the Build/Buy Mode objects in Get Famous, but for gameplay I prefer that of Get to Work! ❤️

  In being a Doctor you have to figure out what is the matter with each patient by narrowing the options down by doing things like taking their temperature, or have them running on a treadmill to check their stamina, etc.  Patients will also get various rashes, or come in pregnant (but only for the work day, as there will not be any additional babies added to the game in this way). 

Detectives will inspect crime scenes and gather clues, talk to witnesses, and then analyze evidence in a machine or fingerprint those brought in to the jail.  When you are ready to solve a crime and make an arrest you will interrogate the suspect.

  I love the Scientists career!  It has a lot of powerful objects that you build and upgrade at work. You also gather a lot of metals and crystals and test them , and you get the chance to use a Sim Ray on your coworkers or even go to the planet of Sixam and meet Aliens!  The Sim Ray is one of the objects you create and upgrade.  You can also transform objects with this , so if you have an apple or a broken fossil, you might be able to keep transforming it into something much more valuable! 🙌  There is also a satellite that you can create (used to influence moods or to contact Aliens or prevent abductions) , a cloning machine which is handy for cloning rare objects or serums or even Sims! 🤨 And there is the wormhole generator where you can upgrade it to visit Sixam . 🤓

Edit:  I forgot to say my favorite EP is Cats & Dogs 🐱🐶 , but the EP I most recommend to others is Seasons, which is my second favorite. I think most people enjoy Seasons as it adds so much to any playing style! 🥳
