I loved the 3 active jobs in ‘Get To Work’ because I saw them as a type of challenge for my sims. I thought they did a good job with the work places too. But so many people complained that they weren’t sand box enough and next thing you know all the following active jobs became semi active. It was so disappointing to me. I don’t mind a work at home option. But, the active part just got so watered down it was no longer a challenge. I would have loved to see the politician job a real active career with a workplace. The same with the military career.
I also remember one of the older games where you had to buy your clothes and keep them in a dresser. You also bought jewelry and accessories. It not only made the game more of a challenge, but it actually made it more fun to make clothing stores. The same with babies and toddlers in the sims 2 you had to actually work at taking care of them, I enjoyed the challenge. You had to hire a babysitter if you worked. It was just so much more challenging.
Even strangerville was much less of a challenge than I was hoping it would be and I was sure hoping the military career would be an active one with a base.
