Critic Reviews for The Sims 4: Get to Work
With 'Get to Work', EA Games and The Sims Studio have put together a good expansion pack that sets a decent standard for the rest of 'The Sims 4' series.
Each new career is entertaining in its own way, but you probably won't want to play through them more than once.
Get to Work introduces some brilliant interactive careers with workplaces being brought to the table for the first time, but is let down by it's barely-average retail system which leaves you wanting so much more.
Despite several issues with the Doctor and Detective careers, Get to Work makes the case that The Sims 4 is now ready for a full purchase.
There's no doubt that The Sims 4 is all the richer for 'Get to Work', but it is merely one small step towards building the game into a worthy successor to its classic counterparts and satisfying a vast fan base.
The Sims 4 - Get to Work is a very nice addition that brings even more diversity to the popular sandbox. However, like previous DLCs, it's just a piece that was cut from the core game functionality, made with the patterns similar to the DLCs of the previous games. Get to Work should be one of the first to get into the shopping cart of any fan of The Sims, unless, of course, a fairly high price of 1,499 rubles is not a problem.

The Sims 4 Get to Work does a lot of right things for being its first expansion pack that only stumbles in a few places. The manageable retail businesses and photography skill are great additions to the base game, while the new career venues suffer from repetitive gameplay and frequent load screens. Sims fans shouldn't hesitate in picking up the Get to Work expansion pack as the new gameplay features and added content are well worth the purchase.
Although we feel the Detective path is the weakest point of the new careers, there's still plenty to do in Get to Work that may justify that £29.99 investment. We love the fact we can follow our Sim to work now and explore the professional side of a life simulator – or as much as The Sims allows anyway. The retail businesses are an interesting addition, but we feel they won't prove as popular as the career paths.
