Question about Get to Work Expansion Pack
I'm thinking of getting the Get to Work expansion pack while it's 50% off, but before I get it I want to clarify some things. I'm interested in it for the detective career, the retail, and the aliens....

• What exactly the pack offers especially in these areas and if there are any issues with the performance of these features.
The detective career is great! I really enjoy the active career. It's fun seeing my other Sims show up as the active Sim's coworkers too. I've never used the retail, so I can't comment on that. Aliens are great fun, although there is a problem with glitches that I'll discuss momentarily.
• How much impact the illness system will have, or if there is an option to turn it off.
I forgot that illnesses came with Get to Work. They don't bother me much. They happen pretty often, but drinking a bottle of medicine always cures the illness.
• How frequent alien abductions are and if there is a way to avoid them.
They happen A LOT to some of my Sims. My main Sim has been kidnapped so often I lost count. I think all of his family members have also been kidnapped. They happen more often if your Sim is a scientist, uses a telescope, or engages in other alien-related activities.
• If there are any major bugs and glitches with Get to Work.
Not that I know of. It's one of my favorite packs!
• Will an alien and a mermaid having a baby cause any glitches?
Boy, glitches sure happened in my game. My main Sim is a mermaid, and he wound up having twin babies through abduction. Both of them were glitched to different levels. One was glitched so badly that I tried twice to remove his mermaid trait and was unable to. The hybrid stabilizer mod seems to be helping though. But I would recommend against hybrid babies. I always save my game before I let one of the twins go swimming or take a bath, because they kept changing appearance permanently when they got in the water.
