FEEDBACK on Get to Work: Tell us what you think

I haven't bought GTW yet and I'm not sure when/if I will. I was waiting on reviews because I was concerned with some things and now that I've read people's opinions my interest in this EP is quickly fading away. Here's a few things I've read that left me disappointed:

Retail:

• You can't use the register for payments and therefore there are no lines which breaks the immersion. In my country there is no such thing as "ring people up", at least not that I've seen.. every retail shop, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. use cash registers and the fact that we can't in GTW is a big deal for me.
  
• I always loved in OFB that customers would leave with a shopping bag after making a purchase. Again it adds to the immersion and another thing that is missing from GTW. The things customers buy just poof into their inventory.
  
• Apparently it takes a long time to close a deal and I can see that being tiresome.
  
• Employees are useless and don't do what they are told.
  
• People getting the same customers over and over again as well as children that should be in school and shouldn't be shopping on their own for things like paintings.
  
• No lockable doors so customers go to the back rooms like they are at home.
  
• Lack of decorative objects for retail, like clothing racks.
  
• There are no changing rooms. I always loved that in sims 2 you could try on outfits and look in the mirror. With GTW it's like "poof! you are now wearing the outfit" and then poof again a few seconds later and you're wearing your clothes.
  
• The fact that sims don't sit down to eat at bakeries when in the trailer we see dozens of sims eating together has really put me off of creating a little bakery/coffee shop. Please stop with the false advertising.
  

Photography:

• We can't choose the poses sims make in both selfies and in the photography studio.
  
• I've seen a few selfies and it seems you can't zoom out so it only takes a really close picture of sims' faces. There should be an option to zoom out more.
  
• Really really disappointed that we can't take group photos. 2 people is not a group photo. I was really looking forward to take pictures with my whole family or with a group of friends.
  
• Also I read that you can't take a picture with let's say, an adult and a child? You can only take child with child, adult with adult. Not sure if this is true, but if it is, another huge disappointment.
  

Aliens:

• I wish you would give us an option to turn off supernatural creatures. I wasn't happy when you decided to add ghosts via a patch, after a few days when I went back to play with one of my families, some of my sims were friends with ghosts. And now you add aliens to a work EP (meaning, it has nothing to do with supernatural) and also don't give us an option to disable them. I'm not a fan of the disguise thing because now every townie can be an alien. I often like to have my sims to be friends with townies and it would be really annoying if after working hard to be friends with someone I would then find out that sim is actually an alien. At least make it so that if you don't visit Sixam, you get zero aliens in the normal worlds. This is a serious issue to me because I like to keep my games realistic and I'm really not a fan of supernatural things, at all. So please give us an option to turn off aliens.
  
• I've read abductions are quite frequent and you can't cancel the action of "go check the bright light" or something. Again, not good. I liked that abductions in the past would happen like one in a million, and once it did happen I would actually find it funny. But if it's something that will happen on a regular basis, it would definitely annoy me. Not to mention I don't want my males getting pregnant!
  

Other things:

• The new "world" is super small and why can't we visit the working lots when we please?
  
• I hate it that we can't go to the hospital if our sims get sick.
  
• When a sim has a baby at the hospital, the baby poofs back home. Why can't the sim take the baby in their arms and go back home together? Everything in the Sims 4 is so poof this, poof that, it really breaks the immersion and it comes across like you're taking shortcuts all the time. It really cheapens the experience so please stop doing that. :(
  
• If you go talk to a patient they will get out of bed to talk to you.
  
• Not enough doctors? Lots of patients waiting around. You shouldn't be the only doctor seeing patients at an hospital.
  
• Lack of interactive objects in build mode (like new activities), traits and aspirations.
  
• No home businesses.
  

In conclusion:

I think I'm going to wait and see if you change/fix some of these things. Otherwise I don't think this EP is worth 40€ with so many things broken/lacking.
