Careers/Jobs
My next issue is careers. I feel like the game is desperately lacking in variety when it comes to jobs. I think so many opportunities where missed for DLC's like Spa Day and Dine Out not adding in new active careers like Yoga Instructor, and working as a chef in your own restaurant. I understand that Game Packs are smaller but it still baffles me that some of these aren't included or at least something like them.
Job types
I would like to see sims in jobs that do not offer any substantial job progression like a barmaid at a dive bar. It would also be cool if you could work as a plumber or maid, so you would go to sims homes to clean or to fix burst pipes and so on. Then maybe that could lead to your sim gossiping around town about all the things your sim has seen whilst working at other sims homes.
This part strikes me as particularly true. Given that most of the jobs just consist of your sim disappearing for a few hours and then reappearing, it seems like there should be dozens of jobs available at the least. It's not like it would require a huge amount of data; It's just text, and most of the time the text that appears on the screen related to a work decision you have to make is the same one recycled over and over again.
Which brings me to a similar complaint: Why do we have to make the same decisions over and over again? I can't tell you how many times my writer sim has had to make the decision whether to copy his colleague's work or not, or how many times my musician sim has had to choose whether to show up to a gig underdressed or not. Those little blurbs should be pretty easy to write. There should be hundreds of them for every occupation so that you have to keep making new decisions that affect your career.
