I've played this new expansion for a few days now. There are things I like about it, and things that are lacking. The new careers seem well designed for the most part. Lots of activities for you sim that keep you interested in the game. Loads of great content; objects, clothing & hairstyles. The coworkers, especially at the hospital, leave a lot to be desired. Instead of working with your sim to provide health care to patients, they do nothing but socialize. It's pretty frustrating. Of course, your sim should do the majority of the work, however the other sims need to be doing SOMETHING. Help check patients in, direct them to test equipment, that would help a lot. Running a retail shop is fun, but it has a few issues. Employees tend to be as useless as hospital coworkers in the Doctor career. Door locks to private areas are desperately needed, thankfully a mod has been created, but the devs need to fix this. There are also some bugs that need to be addressed. Aliens are interesting, but too intrusive. I don't like how all actions are dropped for the sim to "investigate strange lights." I'd also like a little bit of control on who is abducted. It was nice in Sims 2 that the only ones who had a chance of abduction were those who star gazed with the expensive telescope. For some players, it's out of control with near constant abduction attempts. Sims players like having control of their game. The devs need to jump on this and give us some options. Using the testing cheats reset stops the abduction, but it would be great if the devs gave us an object to welcome or block abductions. Overall, I think it's a good first expansion, but it needs some updates.

This is a lot of fun to play since you have so many options for careers and can be more specialized. I bought it to be a scientist and then get all the lab stuff for building. The only bad thing is that you have to advance through the careers to unlock some things and I like to play to build! I am sure there are codes to unlock it though.

This expansion adds great new gameplay to the sims series. The addition of new work interactions to the game is awesome. It's now much more satisfying than the old rabbit hole of watching your sim leave for work and come back 8 hours later. You now get to choose one of three different careers and follow your sim there and guide them through the job yourself.
