am i correct in knowing the "get to work" dlc is basically when you go work you go with them and have to make them do stuff at work?

[larry_roberts]

Yes that's exactly it.

Yes, but this expansion pack also adds more gameplay than some of the other expansion packs despite having only having Sixam and a tiny world. It also adds aliens and I like the CaS and build items as well.

Yes, but you can only follow them to certain careers like: Doctor, Detective, and Scientist. If you have other packs, you can also be an Actor / Actress and be an Interior Decorator. With all the other careers you can't follow your sim to work.

I actually do like Get To Work. In fact, right now I have a married couple that I follow to work, she's a doctor, and he is a detective.

You can go with them, but only for certain careers.

Get to Work is great! I like that you can follow your Sims to their respective work places. In my main household, she's a scientist and has a lot of fun with the SimRay. Also, Sixam is really nicely done.

As for other careers: What about the fashion career that came with the Moschino pack? I haven't tried it so far, but since you can build your own studio, I imagine you get to do the work, too - like with the interior decor.

When you follow them (which btw should really be in base game anyway i mean sims 3 had open world which is great where as sims 4 you have a cut to get there) do you get like quest at top left coner for them to do or you make them do ?

Yep :) It's pretty much the same system they use for events - timeline on top, a list of things to do underneath that. You have to make them do those tasks, and once you've completed one, a new one pops up. The tasks can be a bit repetitive, but it's still fun to tag along :)

Simply it’s always the same patter with Sims 4 DLC; Bugs, half-baked content, features which are annoying designed (not play tested).

Ratings from Get to Work have gone up a little as of recent, but it still has its fair share of problems including the aliens could have been better, retail apparently requires some kind of mod(s) because it does not seem to work properly without mods, probably more than half of the negative reviews are old such as when Get to Work first came out, some bugs that were either never fixed by EA or took a very long time before EA would finally fix them, home world of Magnolia Promenade could have bigger with more lots even with Sixam as an additional world since your sims cannot actually live there, at least a few or more people making the debate that Get to Work similar to Seasons/Cats&Dogs should have been basegame, and some people may not enjoy the careers because they might eventually seem like they are repetitive and less fun overtime despite the fact you do not necessarily have to follow with your sims when go to work meaning it is optional just like Copperdale from HSY expansion pack.

Most dlc on The Sims 4 are overall within the range of 40%-60% positive resulting in mixed reviews. If want you some examples where Get to Work adds more gameplay than some of the other expansion packs the most obvious ones that add less gameplay than Get to Work include Horse Ranch (gameplay is limited to mostly just nectar making, horses, goats, and sheep but not every household should necessarily own a horse, goats, and/or sheep), Discover University (because I rarely send my sims to a university and do not commonly play with robots in addition to research and debate skill where the only thing about this pack that specifically stands out as potentially interesting is the new teaching career), and High School Years (overall seems to have more gameplay than Horse Ranch and Discover University, but less than Get to Work where gameplay seems to be focused mainly on teens besides two new part time careers, social bunny, body hair growth, and shaving).
