Expansion Refresh - Get to Work
I thought it would be cool to make a thread for each pack that we have. What would you like to see in the way of gameplay, build/buy and CAS improvements for Get to Work? My thoughts: Home busines...
Forum Discussion
I loved get to work. I have always thought of retail as a very important feature in a sims game. And I love the active careers with work places. I wish we had more of them!
My greatest hope in refreshing ‘Get to Work’ would be to bring about a clothing challenge where you have to pay for clothes to open them up in your CAS. And by adding clothing racks ( full body, pants, tops ), hat boxes, accessory counters (jewelry, socks, glasses, lingerie etc.) rather than having to buy a whole outfit off of a mannequin.
For the careers I wish they would add a work from home option.
The second main feature I would like to see is to have retail more like Dine Out, where you can set up a store without having owners if you want to. I use retail mostly to buy things rather than running a business.
Also, I would like to see them add fruit and vegetable bins for us to use in our grocery stores as well as maybe some frozen/canned meals. It would be nice if we could store flour, sugar, spices and other things that don’t require a fridge, in the cupboards.
Someone else added being able to have a business at home. If that is possible I would like that too. I know we have the sales tables now, but we can’t sell the furniture made without owning an outside business.
It would also be nice if we could enter the work places. Maybe talk to the people while they are going about their jobs autonomously., and, adding a few additional empty lots to Magnolia Promenade would sure be appreciated too. It would be great if we could combine lots ( retail, restaurant, bar as example ) to make a mall, but I can also see that in a pack of it’s own.
I’m really glad they gave us these careers and retail early in the game.
@simopolis I would like to see a refresh for ‘Get Famous’ too. It desperately needs some beach lots and things.
Added because someone in another thread said I should also share this here.
A sim that gets extremely angry should be able to medicate or be treated by a doctor in GTW, maybe have surgery ( anger can cause high blood pressure, or a heart attack), before actually dying. However I still think some emotional deaths are dumb, like dying of laughter. I would like to be able to push my sims emotions to the limits making them extremely uncomfortable without them actually bitting the dust. Extreme laughter shouldn’t cause death, it should cause extreme happiness, giddiness, and possibly a dazed emotion, and being extremely embarrassed should cause extreme discomfort, tenseness, a miserable feeling, not death. I would love to see more diseases ( like high blood pressure from anger ) that make sims have to see the doctor, get medicine or surgery or something, and if they don’t take care of it, then they could die of it. Our sims should be able to go to the hospital for treatment before death.
