    You really shouldn't have to try this hard to get someone to buy some cupcakes. The expansion pack does pack a great amount of new features but the some of the aspects are just bad approaches.

    Total pile of **** . Its the same boring idea sold again, how many times are they going to make the exact same DLC for the games ? Is nobody at EA interested in new ideas ? has no one got the stomach to try something different, all we got with the Sims 4 was a tiny graphics improvement and loading screens .............. next DLC will be some random location, then pets, then seasons, thenTotal pile of **** .

    So here are my tohughts. Im loving the new careers, but I would like more being added in the future (vets in sims 4 pets, teacher in sims 4 university... ) I also think that intead of adding aliens and some other small things I would have enjoyed more to have a more detailed content (careers and retail) and made for example aliens its own EP (with several species, new worlds (in which simsSo here are my tohughts. Im loving the new careers, but I would like more being added in the future (vets in sims 4 pets, teacher in sims 4 university... ) I also think that intead of adding aliens and some other small things I would have enjoyed more to have a more detailed content (careers and retail) and made for example aliens its own EP (with several species, new worlds (in which sims can live) resources, factions, styles of architecture... etc instead of just having two fancy consumes and a bunch of makeup. I think some things are missing in the expansion pack, for that reason I prefer a really immersive and condensed retail/career rather than scattred pieces of gameplay. The fact that there are no locked doors, lines in the cash register, HOME BUSSINESSES, and more EMPTY LOTS (it wasnt so difficult to add the three working lots and a bunch of emppty ones in magnolia promenade...) I mean, the experience is so limited that the rest of the content isnt so enjoyable!

    As well, hospitals look so boring! There is a lack of the tension environment of a real hospital! areas full of sick patients, lots of doctors... In the Sims, its just a line of 5-6 people and nothing else. That was dissapointing.The career should have gone in a more management path, as it would have been amazing if we could actually MANAGE something or run our own hospital or prison, not just clicking some interactions. This expansion pack could have brought theme hospital and prison architect into one game, but it just didnt. And where is that little machine that would require customers to pay in order to enter in aa lot (in order to be able to maange your own gyms, bars, etc...) Just a few more objects would have made this EP the best, it just didnt.

    Retail isnt as good as in the sims 2. I really miss the "persuasion skill", and customers just dance and make circles to talk. The general experience is a bit shallow. I do love the new employee interface though. But employees actually dont work. Cmon EA, you can do better...

    MY CONCLUSION: Rushed expansion pack. Ea managed to transform the best EP ever (OFB) into a not-so-fun remaster. Feels really limited and the doctor career is just clocking action bubbles. Again, a bit mediocre. EA, intead adding a bunch of incomplete stuff, make a fully-detailed and WORKING, immersive EP not including, for example, aliens.    … Expand

    Thank you EA games for taking another franchise several steps backwards. EA refuses to listen to its fans, instead dictating what people should want. This game represents another failure on their part.

    I think people are being far, far, faaaaar too generous with the score for this fresh and inspiring insult to the intelligence of any Sims players.

    Although the content of the - what I like to call - "mini expansion" (because it really is bloody small), is exactly what the title indicates it will be, what the HELL happened to the rest of the careers? This simply doesn't cut the mustard,    I think people are being far, far, faaaaar too generous with the score for this fresh and inspiring insult to the intelligence of any Sims players.

This simply doesn't cut the mustard, and dear lord lest we forget, for readers from the UK at least, that the game was being sold for SIXTY QUID with NOTHING ELSE included, along comes this fresh piss in the wind, and they want nearly THIRTY quid in some places for this tiny little addition!

    Electronic Arts has a long way to go if it really wants to appeal properly to the UK consumer market. Some people might be either die hard fans or just too stupid to spend more money than they have sense on simplified versions of the Sims, but not me. Nuh-uh. I got this bad boy borrowed.

    Three careers. One activity. An awful lot of wasted money.
    I would actually not be offended by it if it wasn't for the huge twenty quid difference the EA company expected the UK consumers to fork out for the base game alone.

    Unfortunately if you get this and you're already disappointed by the EA base game and how much of a veritable pot of gold you had to chuck out to get it, if you have half a brain cell, you'll be massively **** off by this.    … Expand

    Jobs that have been in the Sims series since the first game inexplicably went missing from Sims 4. Oh, wait, here they are, in an expansion pack for $40 on top of the $60 base game. And the Origin store site has the sheer unmitigated gall to call them "all-new".

    This is just despicable.

    Ценовая политика ЕА скатывает почти все их игры в полное говно. Не будьте жадными, вы не Кодзима, чтобы продавать демоверсии. Да и сама Sims 4 хуже Sims 3. Про то, что ЕА умудрились провалить еще и SimCity писать не буду, другая игра все-таки.Ценовая политика ЕА скатывает почти все их игры в полное говно.

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It cost me tonnes of money (£24.99) to buy this game. I admit, it's a pretty good price. Then, opened the game case to find that you have to buy the sims 4 itself to make it work! I am probably going to sell get to work to a millionaire or something (the only person who would buy it) , unless I find a good price for the original sims 4 on ebay orDO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sims 4 original costs £49.99. What a rip off. I checked Amazon and it says nothing about needing the sims 4! It may be obvious to you video gamers but I thought that sims expansion packs were a seperate game. It definitely was with the sims 3 pets! If I got the game it would cost £73.99. I dont know why so many people buy it.… Expand

    After all those years we, the players needed to have the right to put the jobs in our town and not EA taking control of the game play in those jobs. To find a couple already divorce living in a house for a detective case is not only wrong but also make no sense at all. This game need a total make up ! We don't need the perfect Sims so quo "alive" in a dead world !

    Another sims 4 game that is only made for money and nothing else. All there is you get 3 new jobs and that's about it. Don't waste your money on this unless you want to I really don't give a s hit.

    The addition is boring. Worse than a similar addition for The Sims 3. Clothing Store !? What for??? Clothes can be chosen anyway, but in The Sims 2 it was appropriate, and here it is not at all.

    Overpriced, repetitive and without anything really interesting to do.

    It adds some interesting features to The Sims 4, such as hospitals and visiting other planets, although it seems "too inspired" in previous games expansions.
