In Sims 2 I combined the best bits of Open For Business and Seasons to create a Farmers Market complete with huge greenhouses so that my stay-at-home Sims could harvest tons of fresh goods to sell in their shop. There are other great preview articles around the community that have focussed on the new Active Careers so from here on in I'll be concentrating on two things that will have a major influence on the way I play my game, and they are the new Retail System, and the Baking Skill.

Basements also make their return to the game but will actually be included in a free update to coincide with the EP release, so you get 2 floors of basements as well as an additional above ground floor, making 6 storied buildings possible. Abductions and alien pregnancies are a given but there are many new elements not seen before too. More of the old making a comeback with bells on are Aliens. I expressed to SimGuruAzure that I hoped all Sims 4 EP's would follow the same trend of old and new, but as she didn't take bribes we'll just have to wait and see on that! So this pack for me really does offer value for money, with something old that we loved being bought back bigger and better than before, and something completely new. That is of course, the very much requested ability to not only follow your Sims to work but to influence their careers too. I am genuinely excited that in effect, one of my favourite EP's of all time, 'Open For Business' from Sims 2 is back with an awesome update! But at the same time they have also bought something completely new to the game which also solved one of the problems that OFB solved. I'm not being all 'fanboy' here and just 'bigging up' another EA product because they invited me along. But first, my overall opinion of 'Get To Work'. Instead I'm going to focus in great detail, on two of the aspects of this pack that I'm really drawn to.

I'm going to break from tradition (which is actually traditional for me), and not even try and cover this whole pack with the limited time of around 3 hours that we had. There was also the niggling issue that the embargo for content gleamed from these fan events that have been happening around the globe the past week happened to be during our time at EA, so we were behind all the other sites that have already posted their reports, but hey ho. But I'm thinking to myself, with so much detailed information already released about the new Active Careers on the recently released videos, what more can there be for us to report back to our communities that isn't already public? Well, not much really, as far the headline features go. The long awaited first Expansion Pack for The Sims 4 means another visit to EA Games to get hands on with "Get To Work".
