Vet should have been a Profession

I haven't tested it yet but I prefer the businesses to the careers by a long shot. I get to decide the work hours and (presumably) there won't be any boring, repetitive checklists.

Yes, I agree with you. I would much rather have a new career like the medicine one. My biggest pet peeve with the businesses is that your sim is still considered "unemployed" even if they own a shop or a vet clinic.

No. Why would you want a repetitive profession over an in depth treatment of owning the vet clinic? You have so much more control of a variety of things by owning it as a business. We used to constantly get complaints about Get to Work professions because they have a lack of replay ability.

i don't understand the decision either to make this job a hobby, doesn't make any sense to me & makes the gameplay less interesting

let's hope one day there will be a patch which adds a Business Owner profession, that would solve the problem entirely, or at least the main part of it

100% agreed on that one. It's just like being a vet' is a hobby as opposed to a vocation. Heck, the patient's owners aren't even worried that a teen vampire, or even Zoe Patel takes care of their pets.
Seriously E.A.?

My biggest pet peeve with the businesses is that, although you've hired employees who are perfectly capable of running the place, our Sims make no money if they don't go in.

In TS2, the businesses worked like real-life businesses in that you continued to make money on your days off. Or, you could get the business up and going and then continue to manage it from a distance while your Sims did other things.

See, this makes me nervous to own a vet clinic. I just started owning my own restaurant a few days ago, figured I'd give that a go before this EP came out, and I find it pretty hard to make money right now. I'm only making a profit of like, $200 after I close for the night which isn't very much money. It just seems a lot more stressful to me than the Doctor career. I liked the doctor career because it was mostly me trying to diagnose stuff and heal people, etc. and honestly I'm a fan of repetition (blame it on my OCD I suppose). It's relaxing to me. I'm not going to knock the vet clinic business until I try it though, and maybe one day if I fiddle around enough with it i'll learn how to make a good profit. This is of course, assuming its anything like owning a restaurant. Honestly just from what I've experienced with owning a restaurant, if it's anything like that then I'd rather it have been a profession as well. This is a pretty cool EP though so far so I'm not really disappointed. :)

Personally, I am loving it. I love owning restaurants and retail stores so I guess it's just up my alley. My vet is already 10 in her skill and I find it fun. Perhaps I'm just strange like that I guess.

I prefer it this way, if they decided to make this career a profession, many people will be disappointed that we can't take the animals to the vet clinic, we can't see them cured, and that one and only career in this expansion pack lacks depth. If the vet was a profession, we wouldn't get 20+ sickness just for our animals won't we?

No, I absolutely love the Vet career as it is. I think they really knocked it out of the park. I'm so in love with this EP overall, but the Vet is my absolute fave. I with they would revamp the doctor career and model it after this one.
