Get to Work Expansion Pack

I've heard that Cats & Dogs is the next expansion pack scheduled to be released sometime this spring. Has anyone heard when they will release "Get to Work" for consoles? This is the EP that I'm really looking forward to.

If you have this EP on the computer version of the game, what are some of your favorite things about it? Post pictures of your Sim's career. I'm anxious to see what all you can do with this pack.

    I have GTW on the computer though and overall I think it's a good pack.


    Thank you. Which pack do you like better, GTW or Dine Out? I like the Dine Out pack. I'm looking forward to make a vet with C&D and a Police Officer with GTW.



    get to work offers a lot more game play and content than dine out

    silence career
    doctor
    police
    retail
    aliens
    baking skill
    photography skill




    Silence career?

    GTW is a lot of fun, but I found that the novelty wore off after a while. The best thing about the pack for me was the new content, and being given the option to have aliens.

    I never had Dine Out, so I can't compare them. I have to say for GTW, I think police officer was the best of the three careers to play with. Plus don't forget you can make your own stores with GTW as well! I started one once before, never finished it lol.


    What kind of stores? What exactly do you do with the Police Officer Career? In S3, your character just disappeared into the police station for several hours. I'm guessing this EP actually lets you work the career? Do you get the ability to create jail cells, etc?


    You can create retail stores of various varieties. Most objects in the buy mode catalogue can be sold in retail stores (even items from other packs can be sold), and the GTW expansion adds a few retail specific items such as the bakery display case (to use with the baking skill), and the mannequins that you can design with custom outfits to sell.

    All three careers are linear/goal based. You get a variety of tasks to perform daily, but many tasks repeat throughout the whole career path. If you don’t perform the tasks you don’t get promoted. In regards to building - technically you can, but only with the use of a cheat code allowing you to edit the police station/hospital/science lab. The workplace locations are all self-contained locations that do not appear on the world screen, and cannot be edited without cheats. Sims will only visit the workplace locations when it is time to work, and when work is over they will automatically load back into your home lot.

    GTW and CL have the most issues, Like the Police, and Hospital have so many issues with the tasks and Retail is Unplayable because the Employees just talk and then no one buys anything. I do like the build items from the pack.

    I've had some problems with the hospital but not too many, though it can get annoying. For me, it was sometimes treating patients was a chore (another NPC would be in the way, something like that), or my Sim would show up for work and the hospital would have puddles everywhere and just seem dirty. I think once you get past it, it's not so bad. That's why I always preferred the police career though.

    What I like about Get to Work:
    + New careers. Always love having new careers!
    + Aliens that can disguise themselves as humans. You can even have half alien half human sim. They can look really interesting.
    + Giving birth in the hospital and illness system adds a little extra touch to the game.
    +The CAS is very versatile. The new clothes and hair can fit so many types of sims.
    + Retail has loads of objects to decorate the shops.
    + Tons of new recipes for baked goods. Yummy!

    What I don't like about Get to Work:
    - It has some bugs that can be annoying at times
    - The new world has only 4 lots
    - After a while the careers can get repetitive

    Overall I think Get to Work is a good pack. If you don't mind the tiny new world, it's worth having in my opinion. I got to experience this pack back when it got released in 2015, so I've got a lot of fond memories of it. :)
    It has this cute charm to it.

    Sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

    Does anyone have any screenshots of their careers?

    Never had issues such as these myself, the careers run great and the retail tho poor works fine for me to.
    The only problems I had was never able to get abducted by aliens or male sims pregnant.

    Sounds like you had quite a few issues.

    Why some of us get issues and others don't.

    Tho I find ambitions a much fuller pack. I think they did a great job with get to work. A lot better than the dreaded city living.

    Yes I to love the build/buy and some of the create a sim.


    The worst part is not having more careers and more retail shops.

    Personally I think they made mistake adding active careers and retail shops together. They could of made two different packs, then both would of been fuller.
    That way we could of had as many active careers like work wheno work and more retail shops as OFB had.


    As these issues were with the PC game for you, hopefully it won't be the case for get to work on console.

    Sorry you have had issues.

    But I guess you already knew that.
    Happy summing :)
