While they are on the retail lot, players have two options to manage the store. After a Sim purchases a residential or vacant lot for their retail business, they will travel to that lot. In Get to Work, Sims can once again have their own retail businesses. In the Scientist career, Sims can create crazy potions, gadgets, and even a wormhole generator that Sims can use to explore Sixam. In the Doctor career, Sims must cure patients that are gathering up in the lobby by making tests, making a diagnosis after collecting enough evidence of an illness, and later up in the career performing surgeries. In the detective career, Sims must solve crimes by going to a crime scene and collecting clues, in order to catch the suspect, with finally interrogating them and putting to jail. The tasks that are given to the player must be completed successfully in order to gain a promotion and are always special to the career their given in. There are three active careers: Detective, Doctor and Scientist. When the player is following a Sim in their workplace, the player is given tasks that are needed to be completed in order to have a promotion.

These careers give the player an opportunity to follow Sims to work. Get to Work introduces brand new active careers, which are the main focus of the expansion.
