I wish I could but for some reason, it's not letting me play the game! Even though I pre-ordered months ago! It's still showing it as greyed out (even though there's no option to download or install.) Any ideas on what's wrong?

I was only able to stay awake through the download and about 15 minutes of game play. I sent my Sim to the NPC stores and WOW! tons of other Sims were there. I got so tired of the empty venues in Sims 3. Grimmy was at the NPC store too, I think this EP has so much variety and so many things to do!

The clothes and many of the hairstyles are super "hipster", and I doubt I'll use the vast majority of them. Kind of an odd choice for a career expansion. Buy mode options are good, and even if they are geared towards career lots, I can see a lot of stuff being used for homes too. The active careers are nice, but I imagine that after I work through them once they won't be played much again. Just the nature of scripted linear gameplay. The retail aspect is also nice, but I miss having real restaurants. Not being able to use the cash register is an odd choice too, since not everyone wants a modern shop. At least have it as an option. And I really wish there was an option to disable aliens outside their world, not just disguise them.

The customers are not acting like real customers. They pile up in one big group convo in one part of my store and don't really shop, and then they all start dancing. The retail aspect of it to me is really not that clear. I like how OFB was run, where you had clear ways to talk to your customers. I also don't like how my customers do t give me some sort of credit card or cash. ALSO, why are children in my art gallery at 10am when they should be in school? There are about 5 kids a day in my store. I really think that only sims who don't have anything to do during the day should be shopping. And finally we seriously need to get some door locks. The customers just wander in and out of the break rooms like its nothing. This is the number one complaint I have seen about retail.

Tell us what you are enjoying and why.I have only played Doctor and Scientist career so far to the third promotion. I have yet to use Detective or create a business since I haven't had the time yet! So far, I like the careers. I like that you do not have to go and that they can also work passively if you don't feel like going. I like how the tasks are varied and have some realistic things like get coffee or a snack break. Tell us about any bugs or glitches you find so we can get them fixed.For the Doctor career, sometimes the doctor doesn't show up even though other staff members do so you can't transfer patients (unless you can transfer them to nurses?)Also, not sure if this is a bug, but it doesn't always ask me if I want to go to work with my sim... I assumed we could choose every single shift? For two days in a row it did not ask me. Help us to continue tuning performance and gameplay by providing feedback on your experience.Various wishes/complaints:1. I wish that we got an entirely new world/town instead of just Magnolia Promenade. I was surprised when we didn't. There are 4 commercial lots just like the rest of the towns.2. I wish we could run a business from our homes.3. More sims should be able to be photographed for "Group picture" -- 2 is a little disappointingThis is what immediately comes to mind, and based off of my very limited game play. So far, I really like most of what I have experienced.

Hey!

Its Howdy Simmer!

How ya doing?:)

I just wanted to inform you that I started a Sims 4 GTW Lets Play yesterday! I was recording Part 3 today when
one of my sims was going off to the science lab to work but then it crashed on the loading screen! I repaired the game a few times and I tried the game about 4 times but it crashed all those times! Could you please fix this? People really want to see it in my LP but they can't because it keeps crashing! (Doesn't do it for any of the other careers)!

Thanks

Howdy!:)

Yikes! I have flagged this with the team and will get back to you with a response as soon as I can.

Erm has anyone noticed elderly sims in the clothing store suddenly having regular colored hair... as in they had grey hair when they walked in and blonde when they left.

Edit: I just watched it happen, they try on the clothes and their hair color changes.

Example...

Don walked back there grey-haired and tried on the suit, when he went to his regular clothes he had black hair.

I am in love with this expansion pack so far! I have only explored the business part of it because that is all I have had time for but it is amazing! I love the fact that you can sell almost ANYTHING you want to! I love the mannequins and the fact that I can try the cloths on!

I kind of wish there was exclusive clothes that you can only get from the mannequins because it seems kind of weird buying clothes when we already have everything in the dresser. Also, my employee doesn't want to stop talking and actually ring customers up. So far, those are the only things that bother me but they are minor in my opinion. 9.5/ 10!

OFB retail stores were way better. But these new careers can't be beat! Soooo much to do! Loving this EP.

Hi @SimGuruBChick

1. Tell us what you are enjoying and why?

I'm really enjoying the retail aspect of the game. I'm able to open the store when I finish my shift at the hospital. It's amazing. The whole aspect of going to the actual workplace is fantastic. You guys have created such a great first expansion pack.

2. Tell us about any bugs or glitches you find so we can get them fixed.

I have come across a couple of bugs/glitches while in game.
- Time keeps jumping back and forth.... sometimes when I'm at my store.... the time will jump back and forth. For example; it might be 7:00pm but the time jumps back to 6:30pm.

- Employees not going home after store closes. I had my employee still cleaning the store after everyone left. Even though this is great as it was dirty.... I don't think that's what should be happening.

- Freezes. I have experienced a couple of freezes while in game.

That's all I have so far. Thank you developers. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys have planned for this year.

I spent the first few hours building my bakery. After that i started playing and it's been running much better then it did before. It wasn't awful before but i did notice some improvement. I have yet to experience the 3 careers but i did play with the retail business and I love it. I know you can't run a business from your home lot but i built a small apartment above the bakery and my Sims have been practically living there about four days.

They really need a lock door feature. It's really really needed.

remember when in OFB you could have real bakeries,restourants,home buissenes,hair saloons,you could promote workers
get to work is missing so much in the retail aspect
