FEEDBACK on Get to Work: Tell us what you think

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!

Sounds like a computer issue. You might want to post in the technical forum.

I love it! I would like to suggest improving upon the expansion by making future expansions expand upon this one. For instance, if you make a expansion on pets - add in a get to work pet career. I don't like that expansions are typically stand alone in the sense that they are apart from previous expansion features. Weather might have a weatherman job for instance.

While at work, time is twelve hours off. The work progress indicator says "Work day ends at 10:34 am. 3h49m remaining"; however, the game clock is at 4:10 pm.

I've just managed to play for an hour so far (it's getting late here) and have to say that I've really enjoyed it so far, after trying a retail business and the hospital career. A definite thumbs up with what I have seen so far.

It is small as far as editable space is concerned...well, it's tiny. Yes, there is plenty of room to run around the premade space that can not be altered and looks just like the base game. Nothing new to do there. Saying that it is huge is as misleading as the picture they show of the photo object when you load the game stating that Get to Work is available and showing a bunch of sims taking a picture together. You can't take a picture a like that and there are only 4 editable lots and a common area.

I have purchased and downloaded the game however some of the new content is not working. for example there is a new selection on the computer however it just appears as a white bubble with no text on it. when i click it a blue and green screen appears (same colour as the phone background) with no text on it so i can not make any selections, this is the same for a lot of the new actions in the game, white bubbles appear with no writing in them so i am not sure of what i am selecting. I have restarted the game origin and my computer but it is still the same. HELP!!!

Missing text like that usually means, unfortunately, that you need to uninstall and reinstall the game.

I noticed a glitch with WooHooing. The sim who initiates the woohoo always has an unsatisfied result and the other person always receive completely satisfied boost. I've have tried this multiple times and it's always the case. Also, the game also always believes it's the sim's first woohoo with a sim which is not the case. Anyone else having this issue?

I think the game would be fun if it would stop crashing

I've been playing the Science Career.

The Invention Constructor is an awesome fun machine. I like the way the robot interacts with the sim, and the chatting animations and sounds are adorable. Great work, whoever designed and animated that.

I've only been playing for 3 sim days, but so far, there's been something different my sim has to do, with an overall theme, so I've enjoyed that.

I like that they get paid based on work progress.

I like that when you view all the new objects, their fun increases, and they can get one of those breakthrough moments. Great touch.

All the machines are well animated and fun to watch my sim playing with.

I like the food serum can max out the hunger need.

I wish we could listen to music while my sim works with the machines.

I do have a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: why oh why, was that awesome building we saw in the trailer not included as the building for the Science Career. It was already built. Why was this drab, boring and different one given to us.

I do like VERY much, that we can re-decorate/ re-build .... it's just a lot more work I didn't realise I'd have to do myself to get the building looking like the original.

I can't upload pics or links here, but I've made a comparison pic on the Aussie Forum - in the GTW section.
