In TS3, my Sim was ALWAYS the mayor. I loved wearing the sash as well as the random political corruption events that came along with the career.
I hope TS4 eventually brings back some type of political career, as I think that's a lot different than what we currently have. & man, the stories Simmers could create, reflective of the current political craziness happening all over the world!
Maybe it could come back with an entire theme of "city public servants" (politicians, firefighters, burglaries with police actually responding. And the protestors outside of city hall! I MISS PROTESTING! Maybe with actual "issues" to protest and "laws" to create. (Nothing serious, but like, silly laws and issues to protest.) I really wish they would've tied something like that into "Get To Work," since GTW was kind of a silly name for something that was a mix of a bunch of different themes instead of the title. Maybe they could tie it into a University-themed EP....
Of course, this would be an EP that could probably provide a lot more gameplay after a few more EPs are incorprated...I'd think it'd be really cool to bring back!

How about being an Emperor?
That would be a good way to cash in
I mean, they can't cash in on Halloween again can they?
I would like it, as an active career.
But I want them to change something about active careers themselves.
I don't like that the only way to get to them, is by going to Work.
I know it's probably hard to add to the map, but I would like Buildings like City Hall, Police Station/Prison, Fire Station, etc to be on the maps.
like My Sim is a detective is Willow Creek PD, why am I being sent to Oasis Springs, NewCrest and Windenburg to patrol? or Solve Cases, those cities aren't even in my jurisdiction.
fix it.
and to be able to go to retail, and Government Property, and apply for jobs, then where ever you apply, is where you work, and you can always ask to transfer locations.
I would like different positions
Mayor, Treasurer, Secretary, other Council Members
Wishful thinking:
As Mayor you can edit public areas around the world, (as long as you are mayor of that world).
ex: Mayor of Willow Creek can't edit Oasis Springs.
My Mood:
I wouldn't put it past them to be honest.
I think this may be difficult for them to do in The Sims 4 because the towns are so tiny and obviously geographically far apart. It would be immersion breaking to say your sim is the mayor of all of those tiny towns and kind of pointless for them to be the mayor of a town with a very small amount of sims living there.
Senator Palpatine, is that you?
Same... this idea sounds so good. I dunno if they'll do it though. We are getting restaurants in the new GP too bad they didn't include all these ideas with it.
I don't think it's too crazy of an idea for that reason. Almost every EP comes with a neighborhood that has it's own buildings that don't exist in other neighborhoods unless you edit that town. Sims travel from town to town without any issue in TS4, and it's the Sims. It doesn't necessarily have to be geographically accurate, lol.
It sounds like fun. I would purchase that expansion.
I believe it was called like, the political career and I believe it was like Level 10 where you got to be the mayor.
Even if those buildings weren't on the map, but more like...in existance. Similar to GTW with the hospital, police station, etc, how we can't see it on the map but we can go there (well it'd be nice to be able to go there even when you weren't going to work.) Or even if there was an entire neighborhood just for an EP like this but you still had the option of new gameplay and pre-built buildings and you can change a lot as you please...
I'm using Zerbu's Politics mod at the moment, which is brilliant, but I do hope to see some official features added that make this more in-depth. So, I'd like to handle taxes, for example, and to have household bills sent to a city hall coffer that can be used for community projects, social assistance, or used negatively by politicians who like to throw too many champagne parties and fly around in private helicopters.
