This expansion builds upon previous additions, offering new ways to personalize gameplay. Players can now master new skills like tattooing and pottery, opening unique businesses like tattoo parlors and pottery studios. Existing expansion packs also integrate, allowing Sims to run pet cafes, karaoke bars, dance clubs, acting schools, bowling alleys, spas, and laundromats.

The innovative Business Perk system adds a strategic layer. Choose a business alignment – Dreamer (customer satisfaction focused), Schemer (profit-driven), or Neutral (balanced approach) – each impacting gameplay and Sim interactions.
