    Get To work needs a refresh. The retail system is just pathetic-we REALLY need a working cash register(like the Sims 1 register) and we REALLY need to have stores with regular employees(like in Sims 1,2, and 3) so your Sim can shop there.
    Why do you hide inside these walls?

    We also need home businesses, and ticket meters so sims can run businesses where they charge for entry. That was always how I made the most money in Sims 2.

    I wish the apartments were like how real cities construct them with retail on the bottom and residential on top. This would be a game changer for get to work. I still can't believe there is no option to work and run our own business in 2024 with this game. I want to work as the executive chef in my restaurant and own it. You know. Without using a mod. :)

    I like get to work, it's quite nice go to work with your Sim, so i think since it's the first EP, Get to Work deserve attention :)

    The thing with Get To Work is that theres just so much
    1. Aliens - need alien world to live in, saucers to fly, more interactions (especially things like destroying sim worlds with their saucers or beaming up sims from the streets), more cas items, more scifi furniture and build stuff, players also need to be able to set whichever pollinator they want and alien abduction should be lot challenge

    2. science career needs new scientific inventions they're all stuck in 2014 surely things have progressed after that

    we should have better version of microscope thats actually like reasonably sized and this career also needs tie in with Strangerville so sims could work at secret lab or such

    also connection between plantsims and science career should be a thing like ts3

    3. hospital needs so many updates too like getting treatment for your sick sims at hospital, maybe more things for pregnant sims , maybe some work tasks like ts3 or at least something better than drinking coffee and cleaning puddle maybe cross pack things like getting treated after being mauled by greg

    4. detective career and police station needs criminal career to work with it like maybe chance of getting jailed if your sim is on criminal career and gets caught and then your criminal sim will go to jail and you can either join the sim to police station and see them being jailed or send them alone and play your other sims while the sim is in jail

    also we need burglars and all the interactions that come with it

    and catching burglars could be new work task for detective sims

    overall there needs to be worse crime than doodling all over goth house these sims are capable of

    also could tie in law career and the whole courtroom thing to this as active thing but no

    5. all the career lots have to be visitable by any sim at any time regardless of if they work there because maybe you just want to go to hospital to get health checkup or go to police station to waste officers time because you're mean sim or maybe its take your kids to work day

    6. there should be way to work from your home lab or receive patients at home clinic or be private detective or such

    7. retail needs so many changes there needs to be grocery shopping stands and things like that, stores need to have changing rooms to try on clothes instead of stealing those off the mannequins, you should be able to live on same lot with your shop, the sims should actually have some kind of shopping animations... really. endless list.

    8. there should be basic jobs like maid or repairman as active careers too because why is it all so fancy

    9. photography originally came with this pack so I would like to see new options for that too like bigger family portraits or useful photo props
    10. being able to have multivenues would go great with the whole retail thing

    11. half of this pack is broken 99% of the time so it would be nice if it at least worked
    aaand at this point one just realizes its totally unrealistic to expect them to do even half of this as simple update so idk what i would even really want

    those are the packs that need refreshes. unlike the spa day pack's irrelevant refresh those are meaningful .
    dine out is not included since dine out only needs some bug fixes.
    1.get to work business system needs a whole revamp because it is horrendous
    2.outdoor retreat is lacking a lot it should come with a swimmable lake where u can kayak hike a mountain rock climb etc...
    3.High school years is very recent, unlike the Get to Work and Outdoor retreat which are the the first expansion and game pack, highschool years
    goes back 2 years yet was very badly implemented the school system needs an overhaul with more classes and interactions during classes.
    the only other pack that might need a refresh is island living

    Outdoor Retreat from the options given.

    All of them. If they want people to buy more stuff, they need to make what's available better so that people might actually want to buy it.

    Especially on cross compatibility they should work, so that it pays off to have more expansions. A bit of content you only get when you own two specific things. Where that makes sense at least, so mainly when it regards gameplay of a specific pack.

    Like magic realm could get some extra stores with things from other expansions.
    Also under alchemy each occult from other expansions could enable a potion that requires an ingredient from them.
    Like a pluck of werewolf hair along with some other ingredient to make a potion of howling, causing any kind of Sim to howl like mad for the duration.
    Or a mermaid scale to make a potion of water breathing, letting any sim dive deeper for a while. Would only be useful in island adventure.
    Or some toenail clippings of an alien to brew a potion that allows aliens their human guise to become real, having no alien appearance any more but still all alien abilities.

    Journey to Batuu could maybe have some unique lightsaber hilts or crystals available in the shops if you have specific packs installed.
    Crystal Creations could allow you to create your own lightsaber crystals too.
    But say, the vampire pack could add like some sort of demonic/vampiric looking lightsaber hilt.

    And I will keep saying it until it finally happens: You should be able to cut through the jungle with a lightsaber!

    I'd love a Get To Work refresh that allows for automatically running retail businesses with clerks spawning at cash registers like those in earlier games. Would love to be able to create automatically running retail stores without ever having to have a sim involved in marking items for sell or anything like that.

    Also to be able to send our Sims to a functioning hospital to take care of their sicknesses. It's such a big missed opportunity it's not even funny.

    Yah I wish we had option to have a sick symptom and maybe option to run a small clinic

    Get to work is the only ep I own currently. It would be nice if the active careers worked properly.
    Have a super fantastic awesome splendid amazing day! -TheQxxn
