We knew that the Sims 4 was going to be the perfect playground for expansions. Of course you will need them all, especially when they let you not only simulate your home life, but now you can even simulate your working day. What more could you ask for… right?
EA has announced The Sims 4 Get to Work expansion pack. Here’s the trailer to show off some of the fun new things that your Sims can get up to:
According to the announcement, there are a whole bunch of new features.
- Become A Doctor: You rule the Hospital! Live the thrilling life of an emergency room Doctor and spend your days saving lives. Just make sure to stay focused as you’re treating patients, delivering babies, and performing emergency surgery.
- Become A Detective: You rule the Police Station! Grab your badge and start solving elaborate mysteries as a Detective. See what secrets you uncover as you investigate crime scenes, interrogate Sims, arrest criminals, and work your way from Cadet to the Chief of Police.
- Become A Scientist: You rule the Science Lab! Use your analytical mastermind to create crazy inventions as a Scientist. Collect unique specimens to craft diabolical creations like the Sim Ray and decide whether you’ll use your inventions for good or to torment your fellow Sims.
- Create Unique Retail Businesses: You rule your business! Create any type of retail business you desire including bakeries, clothing boutiques, art galleries, bookstores, and many more. Customize every facet of your business with Build Mode and watch the simoleons roll in! Select what items to sell, manage your employees as you see fit, and schmooze your customers to close the sale.
- New Career Venues: Spend your days saving lives at the Hospital, booking criminals at the Police Station, searching for alien life at the Science Lab, or chatting up customers at one of the many retail businesses you’ve created!
- Learn New Skills: Learn new skills to help your Sims create even more unique objects to enjoy in The Sims 4. Capture the picture-perfect photo or bake and decorate a delicious treat with the new Photography and Baking skills. Display your creations at home or sell them to earn some extra simoleons.
- Discover Aliens: Aliens have landed! Uncover which Sims are truly out of this world and discover the mysterious Alien dimension!
Wait, you can run a unique retail business? Seems like artisanal bakeries aren’t just limited to Soho in New York and London – they’re even encroaching on your Sims. I know, open a hipster boutique and finally sell some double monocles.
The expansion will release for Mac and PC in April and cost you a cool $40. I think that’s about the going rate for paying to become a “doctor” in a back alley, too.

Carrying 12kg of Zim Dollars in your pocket to buy a can of soda with can affect your balance a bit.

LIES! He didn’t fall, the British made the world rotate, thus causing the Earth to move & for him to lose his footing. It’s all a Western conspiracy to make him appear foolish & pave the way for Zimbabwe to be colonised by America!

Well he is 90 years so maybe he will take this as a sign to [finally] retire.

Only $40? What a bargain.

It’s such a bargain, I pre-ordered it twice!

That’s so insane. For $40 dollars you can buy a NEW game on steam (not on special) and then you get the perk of not having to use Origin.

February 5, 2015 at 11:24
But it’s such value for money trololol

If I could simulate my job in Sims 4 I’m pretty sure my sim would go crazy and kill most of his co-workers.
Hammersteyn

I’d be president and fall of the stage everytime
Kensei Seraph
February 5, 2015 at 11:25
You do not want me as president.
I’d actually do my job, become a dictator, get assassinated and then the country would fall apart.

I wish I could do that in Sims.

This is quickly going the way of the other Sims games. Think about it, it’ll cost you just under R5000 to buy the Sims 3 and all additional expansions, stuff packs, areas, etc.
It’s out of control!!!
