FEEDBACK on Get to Work: Tell us what you think

For the most part, I love this EP! I love the aliens! Although, I do also wish there was a way to prevent them from being in my town, for the times when I may not want them in my game. I feel like disguises are not enough because I will talk to the townies sometimes, and I don't want to accidently discover that they're an alien. Other than that, I do like how you've made the aliens, I like how they don't all look the same. I plan to have an alien in my household in one of my saves.

One thing I really did not like is that you are required to find certain things before making something. I was okay with requiring the death flower for the shadow realm drink in the base game, but I really find it silly that you have to find certain ingredients before baking something and certain stuff before making a serum or an invention for the science career. I wish you would have made those optional. Maybe if this were an open world, it'd be better, but here, in a closed world, it just frustrates me.

As for the careers, I noticed the time thing is very weird. I wish I knew how to explain it. Up at the top left, it says the sims' workday ends at 5:45am, or something... it's a weird time bug, I guess. Also, I don't think I would mind longer work days for these new careers, or at least, you stay a little longer than 2 hours after your shift ends. I don't mind the goals at all, I just find it hard to do a decent amount of work all in one day. I think this is the one time that I do not mind the goals at all, though. Also, I did go a day or so in each career, I find that no one else does anything! It's even more frustrating in the detective career, everyone is just in the way. I did not get to dabble in retail yet, so I cannot comment on that. I never had OFB, so I guess this would be an interesting learning experience. Oh, and lockable doors would be nice!

I never really explored this new 'world' yet. It's small. I could say I wish it was bigger, but it's not like they can change it now. What I do want to say is that I would like more lots. Please don't give us another world as small as Magnolia Promenade. Other than that, I'm really enjoying this EP so far!

Is there a cure for getting the doctor's outfits? Mine never got any new outfits including orderly, medical assistant or whatever level I am on now, it said again there were new outfits but everyday I go to work with him there isn't a new outfit.

ETA: But with that said I do like this EP but it does bring many bugs to the game. Which I think I will just report in the bug threads.

Wanted to add that adding maybe 1 or 2 more hospital employees would be great. I don't mind the craziness but my doctor sim will be taking care of two or three patients and in the lobby there's like 8 other patients waiting

Here's a glaring bug: the doctor keeps disappearing from the lot, every day. I've been unable to advance in the field because the doctor is not there to diagnose patients, so I can't fulfill the promotion tasks to actually treat them. And in the detective branch I was tasked with fingerprinting suspects, etc. The problem is when I returned the police station after collecting evidence at a crime scene, all the prisoners that had been in jail that morning had all disappeared so I couldn't fingerprint anyone. I so badly want to love this game, but I keep hitting one road block after another that I may just go back to S3 for another year or two before checking back in with S4 to see if anything's actually been fixed.

Why is magnolia promenade so small?! Why are all neighbourhoods so small?!?! Even sims 2 gave me more space... or am I just being really really dumb?!?!?

+, I had expected new charactet traits and wishes but not at all!! :(

Hope everyone is enjoying the game.

I can't seem to get my game to work more than 15 minutes or so before it crashes ever since I installed the expansion pack and the latest update the other evening. My game keeps crashing while my sims are trying to travel either home from work at the hospital, or when I try to go to the new shopping community. The loader screen just keeps cycling, and then the background music will stop, and then it crashes and dumps me out onto my desktop after a couple of minutes!! It's REALLY frustrating!

I would love to choose the opening hours of my stores and can make them work without me, and that my staff were more efficient, I need to make the most sales. Also if my customers do not invade the employees restricted area. The bakery should work as a bakery not just as a store. The Sims 4 has incredible sims but I think we're losing a lot of the features and strategies of game.

What I like:
The amount of new stuff added to the game and that there are a lot of customers that come in to your store.
Haven't had much chance to play yet; as I was busy doing a profession; getting pregnant; buying a store and running it; and reading up on all that is new. (not in that precise order) :)

What I would like to see:
a Sign for a Florist/Floral Store. Maybe more Florist type of items to sell. That we could have more than 1 clerk to begin with as it is so busy.

That we could designate everything in the store "For Sale" with 1 click--or have a window, kind of the the old shopping list window--that shows you every item in the store that could sell, and you could highlight all that you want to sell and then click once to enable your choices.

That once we "Close" the store, any remaining customer that were waiting to check out, stay until they get checked out. The rest can leave.

What I don't care for:
That all of my customers pretty much hang around in one large group, and very few of them browse around the store. Also when checking them out, it takes so long to do so--I feel too long, for having just begun--that I can't get to other customers that are waiting to cash out, nor the ones that are showing a high interest--so either the interest falls before I get to them, or the customer gets tired fast of waiting to be cashed out--they then get mad and leave. Therefore, I lose a sale.

I also set my clerk's duties (belately) to cash people out---it didn't seem to do anything, though. He kept standing around with a group and talking to them. Possibly helping sales climb---but I still had to run around and cash people out.

I like the new way of cashing out--but would still like the old way also, of people forming a line at the cash register. This way, you could cash customers out, and if it was really busy; your clerk could help others in line or standing about the store to get them cashed out.

I found a Bug:
When playing the scientist profession, the time for my shift states: 10 am to 6pm (I think--not sure of ending time). My Sim goes to work on time and once there, the task list and clock, in the upper left hand corner says my Sims shift is from 3 am to 10 am (for example). It is totally off, and does not match my stated shift time--not even close.
