This is just a nice discussion about what job you have in GTW. Or, pictures of your retail business. But, you can also just write your sims story's and adventures in the expansion pack. I hope this discussion will help us get the idea of your sim/sims. <3

With seven households, and a week spent at each one, it's kind of slow going, especially since they all keep rolling "try for baby" wishes, and who am I to say no to that? Even if I do have one family living in a half-built house because they outgrew the old one before they could afford a new one.
My Sim scientist's daughter gravitated toward the arts so she's now a level 10 painter and runs a small retail shop that sells her paintings, some clothing, the Easter eggs and her mother's wood working sculptures. The large paintings and the clothing are big sellers.
Here are a few photos:

Got any tips on how to manage that!? I had a retail store for a little and had no time for family, then I had a Sim from the same family join the detective career. Then I gave up on the family because I got too flustered...

She will also direct around and change things according to my little story for this world, and no one will remember her because of her alien powers. Any aliens she finds in the city will be killed since she is the only one cleared for earth-connact for the time being.
I am having so much fun!
Phineas now has two alien children, is debating between a nice normal girl and a beautiful alien he just met (thanks to his wormhole generator) for love interests (he's not getting any younger!) and Taffy has a son with her doctor (alien) boyfriend (who sadly passed away, but his ghost visits now and again). She is also debating selling her giant retail lot and purchasing a smaller Victorian style house and renovating that into a coffee shop/bakery. (That was the plan but I spent an hour in the game redecorating and it crashed, so.... pffffft).
*(Phineas and Taffy are the two Sims on the far right of my siggy)
Also - I have Mulder and Scully on the case (as a detective and doctor respectively) investigating all the weird things around town and looking for proof of aliens. Mulder does not get why Scully refuses to accept aliens are real, and Scully just wants to have a normal Sim life, but it's hard when you live next door to Spooky Mulder. She loves him though, weird as he is, who wouldn't?
*(I made my siggy before I did my X-Files LP)
Yes. My Disney legacy I made Elsa an alien and she got abducted while in disguise.
I'm playing my avatar simmie, Sinead, and she's a bit... frightening. She was recently promoted to sergeant and the road getting there was an interesting one for sure!
Sinead married a co-worker... at work. It was hard work 'earning' that promotion
Her husband is now a stay-at-home dad. It was really for the best considering who their daughter's best friend is.
After that I moved on to the medical career. Didn't get too far i it before my Sim became an elder and I had her retire. But what I did play was pretty fun.
In the next generation I tried out the detective career. Probably my favorite so far. I love the animations and interactions.
I haven't tried the science career yet but the 3rd generation in my family is about to age up so one of them will become a scientist
So thus far in GTW I've been exploring the doctor career and the detective career quite a bit. I make Youtube "Let's Plays" and it really has added an awesome dynamic to the game. I am currently developing my Sim's baking skill so she can open a bakery, which was one of the things I was the most excited about!
> I'm having a lot more fun than I thought I would with this EP, the science career has been my favorite so far, I have 2 sims in it (who, to my disappointment, can't be at work at the same time, I wanted them to meet there and become friends). I'm not really interested in the retail shops yet, maybe that will change later, but for now I'm thinking about bulldozing Magnolia Promenade, and turning it into a residential neighborhood. I also have a sim in medical, and one in detective.

> I started off with a scientist. I haven't tried the other careers yet. My scientist made it to level 8 and then died of old age, so I brought her back as a playable ghost, and I'm determined to get to level 10 of the career. :smiley: So far the things I love best are the ray gun (I use it on my Sims at home to turn them into maids so someone is cleaning the house every day) and the cloning machine. I like to clone some of the serums to use frequently like the needs fixer and the slimming one. Oh, and of course I love the aliens! My Sim scientist's husband has had 3 alien babies so far, and they're adorable. All boys.

Nice job with your gameplay. Whenever I watch videos I say just do your work already. I mean, isn't that what GET TO WORK means!? :D
> I'm having fun with GTW. My male Sim Tyler Lucin was abducted by aliens & preggers (pre-patch) & his daughter Tatyiana is all grown up. She fell in love and married Derek, an alien, (but didn't know he was alien, so I was unable to unlock the double life achievement). I moved Tatyiana and Derek into their own home. She is level 6 in the Detective career & Derek is level 8 in the Scientist career. They have two kids...Madison & Ty...the entire family is in disguise. I opened my 1st retail shop, an art gallery, 'Art By Tatyiana' when they were 1st married. They just opened their new store, a bakery 'Derek's Baked Goods'. So far so good. Very challenging to play two active careers and retail and have a family. I'm surprised I'm able to mange it all. Tatyiana has 19 brother and sisters (yes her father Tyler Lucin impregnated most of Willow Creek/Oasis Springs)....so I throw a lot of house parties/dinner parties for just family. Wish I knew how to post screenshots on here. I'm in the process of having Tatyiana & Derek renew their vows & then off to Granite Falls for a well needed vacation.
I like how your using Get To Work but how you're switching the gameplay up a bit. Enjoy your simming! :)

You could take some time off from your retail store and just do some stuff with family. I hope you figure your problem out!
> I've been playing all the careers in one household with a girl doctor, a boy detective, and an alien girl scientist. I've also opened up a retail store on one of my other saves called "Brooke's Little Bakery". I am trying to get my female alien sim abducted in her disguise to see if it'll work... does anyone know if that would even work? lol :smile:
I don't think it works... but you could just try it out.
> Liam O'Dourke and his wife Sawyer live in Willow Creek with the three children they have together (Emily, Colleen, Brandon) and the son (Sirius) Liam had from alien abduction. He's (I think) level 7 in the Scientist career. I'm planning to actively play the eldest daughter (Emily) and the alien son (Sirius) after they age up; Emily is going to own an art gallery/photo shop and sell her works, while in another household Sirius is going to be a detective.
Sirius reminds me of Sirius Black from Harry Potter! XD
