The Sims 4 Get To Work Q&A

Interview by THE SIMSCRAPER

Q: With the introduction of Hospitals we see Illnesses make a return, Can our Sims catch these diseases?

A: Sims don’t have to be working in the Doctor career to see illness symptoms. Any Sim can catch an illness; mainly, this is done through physical interactions with other Sims. You will be able to see if your Sim is ill by different buffs they get and by how they look in the game.

Q: Sims can now Deliver Babies, Does this mean Sims around Town will Start having children?

A: As Sims progress through the Doctor career, they will unlock the ability to see pregnant patients and deliver their babies. The Hospital does spawn NPC pregnant Sims as well, so you’ll see them walking around in the game. As a player, if your Sim is pregnant and ready to give birth, you’ll need to select the interaction to give birth at the Hospital.

Q: Can Sims visit the Hospital to see family And have checkups or do they have to work in the medical career?

A: Sims who are not in the Doctor career are not able to visit the Hospital. The only Sims who are able to go to the Hospital while not in the Doctor Sims are pregnant Sims (and their significant other) when they are ready to give birth. If your Sim gets sick, medicine can be ordered by phone or on the computer.

Q: When our Sims go into labor does an NPC Doctor deliver our baby?

A: Yep, when pregnant Sims go into labor, an NPC Doctor will deliver their baby.

Q: The chance to run businesses has returned and it looks great! Will our Sims be Able to run Home Businesses?

A: Retail lots in The Sims 4 Get to Work dictate where Sims can open up a business. Sims can stay at their store and take care of their basic needs as long as they desire but will need to return home for much of the gameplay that’s centered on their household.

Q: With the return of Bakeries can our Sims also Run Restaurants?

A: TheSims 4 Get to Work focuses on opening up a retail business where you can sell anything you can make in the game, from toilet paper to cupcakes. The focus is on selling items, rather than providing services.

Q: Can we sell ANY item?

A: Your Sims can sell anything they can make, as well as a vast majority of the items available in buy mode. Sims who paint on the easel can sell their works of art. Sims who desire to open up a store that only sells furniture, can do so.

Q: Can we set Employee Uniforms?

A: Absolutely! This is one of my favorite aspects of the retail side of Get to Work.

Q: Will Sims pay for items at the register or do they just take the item?

A: Sims won’t just take the item, no – they’ll be assisted by an employee to purchase items.

Q: How do Mannequins work?

A: You can customize outfits from the clothing in-game and dress up both adult and child mannequins. They can have up to 30 unique outfits assigned to them that customers can try on and purchase.

Q: Will this Pack be introducing any new collectibles?

A: Yes! There are new rocks, flora, and fauna to collect, and they’re out of this world!

Q: In the trailers we see new areas in which are the Hospital and Police department, is this a new world or are Willow creek and Oasis springs having an expansion?

A: Rather than taking your Sims to a new world, The Sims 4 Get to Work integrates new environments into the existing worlds in The Sims 4. The Sims 4 Get to Work also includes an entirely new neighborhood, Magnolia Promenade, which is made up of four new lots, three of which are retail. You can create retail lots in the existing neighborhoods or move existing venues into the new neighborhood. It’s all up to you! You can even live right next door to your retail store.

Q: What can you tell us that we don’t already know about Get to work yet?

A: We’re really excited about the new photography skill in The Sims 4 Get to Work. We’re introducing cool new filters and other modern features such as a Smart Phone camera, the ability to choose between horizontal or vertical shots, a photography studio object to take group shots, and more!

Saving lives has never been this much fun!

This April, your Sims will rule the workplace in The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack. You will control your Sims’ every action as they tackle three active careers, whether it’s saving lives as a daring doctor, solving crimes as a fearless detective, or devising inventions as a mad scientist. You will also be able to put your Sims’ entrepreneurial ambitions to the test as you create and customize unique retail businesses. Plus, there are new venues, more skills to learn, and the chance to befriend some aliens!

Today, we’re going to walk you through a day in the life of a Doctor at the new Hospital venue. You can also check out a doctor Sim in action in our latest video: The Sims 4 Get to Work: Official Doctor Gameplay Trailer.

It’s 9:00AM. Doctor Padma Arani, General Surgeon, takes a few steps towards the Hospital kitchen to begin her day.

Dr. Arani’s first patient is ready for her. A young adult male, slightly overweight, complaining of feeling under the weather. It’s good to begin the day with an easy case. Dr. Arani sends him to the X-Ray machine first, purely as a matter of standard procedure. She then has him sit on the examination table to check his eyes, then ears, and take his temperature. Dr. Arani is about to collect more data for her diagnosis by putting her patient on the treadmill when a pregnant woman bursts through the Hospital doors.

She’s in labor! Dr. Arani is on call and she quickly ushers the woman to the Surgery Table to deliver the baby, the first time she has ever done this. It’s terrifying, but the baby emerges happy, healthy, and safe. Both baby and mother are doing just fine.

Phew!

Oh no! Dr. Arani forgot about her first patient! She gets him on the treadmill for a diagnosis. She drives him until he’s exhausted, a little slimmer, but ready for a diagnosis. It turns out he has a relatively minor case of Gas and Giggles, which can be cured without too much effort.

It’s afternoon now. A few more cups of coffee and a quick bite in the kitchen revitalize Dr. Arani. She has an important operation to perform on the new Surgery Table. The surgery is long and intense, and a little messy, but this is her specialty – she’s known for removing all kinds of squishy, essential organs better than anyone else in the Hospital!

The day ends, thankfully without a house call. As a high level surgeon, Dr. Arani occasionally must leave the Hospital to care for Sims in the neighborhood. Normally this is fine, but she’s so exhausted by the day’s activities, she’s grateful to just head straight home.

This is just one day in a Doctor’s life. Sims in this active career will need to balance the needs of multiple patients, their own Motives (a happy doctor is a good doctor), and the everyday demands of a busy Hospital. They’ll also diagnose patients and use a variety of medical devices. It’s everything you’d expect from a medical drama. Your medical drama!

We hope you have enjoyed this peek at the Doctor career. Next week, we will be revealing more about life as a Detective. Stay tuned!
