This has been my favorite EP to date. Now your sims can actually leave home to work. No waiting on a carpool and disappearing for a few sim hours only to reappear at the end of their workday. This EP allows your sim to own a business, hire and manage employees and merchandise and make decisions for that company. With it's rewards system based on customer loyalty, employee sucesses and sales, you can take your business from a fledgling enterprise to a 5-star establishment. When choosing employees, you use your phone to hire, you get a list of available employees with their skills and badges they've earned and their asking wage. Based on what you need for your store, you then hire them. Once hired you then assign them a job, either sales, cash register or restocking. Your employees can earn badges based on their job performance . As your employee gets more proficient in their job you have to adjust their salary. All these things are done with a neat little interface that sits in the right top of your screen that allows you to set prices for items, track employees and adjust salary. If your employee doesn't work out you can fire them. Having a slow day... you can send some of them home. You can also set a uniform that they wear when they come to work. This is a really good EP.
