The first ever expansion pack was overall pretty solid. It came with 3 fully developed careers, the ability to open a store, and aliens (including a tiny but cool alien world). There's also a tiny ass neighbourhood but who cares. And due to the game introducing a hospital, you can now see how the babies are born. However, the most dissapointing thing is that you can't go to the hospital when you are sick (like the pets do in Cats and Dogs). When the sims are sick they get some ugly stains in their skin and they feel uncomfortable, nothing more serious than that, and you have the option to order medicine from the computer to make it go away (instead of waiting like 2 days), and that's it. Dissapointing.
I played a bit of all the careers, and they are cool at first, but they get boring after a while because you simply micromanage a single sim doing the same shit over and over again (and sometimes they give you stupid tasks like "eat something!", is that part of the job description?). It would be nice to have the option to get a promotion without forcing the players to go to work with them a bunch of times. The scientist one is surprisingly the best, not only because there's a "twist" at the end, but because all the cool stuff you can create, like the freeze ray. I use the freeze ray all the time, I love it.
The stores are a pretty nice distraction, with some creativity you can have fun with it for a while. I made a cozy plant shop, and plants are cheap and they don't make any money, but that made the game feel more realistic, I enjoyed the struggle.
