I do miss the game play that was incorporated with Ambitions with the additional dynamic choices.
I also don't see why they can't make remedial or typically rabbit-hole jobs to be more interactive.
Fast food employee interactions: Drop food on floor... serve anyway, sneak in freezer and eat the frozen cookie dough, pocket customer change, hide outback while supposedly taking out garbage.
Office employee interactions: mass email all employees that there will be upcoming layoffs with bosses signature, steal co-worker lunch from frig, send anonymous love letters to all married or attached co-workers, prank call boss. etc.
Oh, and definitely changing weather that is not just sunny every monotonous day.
