To get straight to the meat of this expansion, it is all about new professions. This term is used in order to differentiate between the existing career tracks where you can see your sims go to work and apart from setting the tone of how they are going to work, there is not a lot else you can do.

With these new professions, your sims either work away from the rabbit holes or even have a rabbit hole that we can go inside and directly influence their actions. While a sim is “on the clock”, they could even pop to the nearest diner to get some lunch without their work performance being penalised. In certain cases, they can even make their own meals inside their workplace.
