For those who follow The Sims Facebook page, their video of Get to Work gave an official release date for Sims 4:  Get to Work, and it is March 31, 2015. 

This is the U.S. release date, so the European release date may be a few days later.

You beat me to the link jen2912.  Good catch :)  This video highlights the doctor. 

And speaking of doctors, the Sims.com has a new article:

Saving lives has never been this much fun!

This April, your Sims will rule the workplace in The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack. You will control your Sims’ every action as they tackle three active careers, whether it’s saving lives as a daring doctor, solving crimes as a fearless detective, or devising inventions as a mad scientist. You will also be able to put your Sims’ entrepreneurial ambitions to the test as you create and customize unique retail businesses. Plus, there are new venues, more skills to learn, and the chance to befriend some aliens!



Today, we’re going to walk you through a day in the life of a Doctor at the new Hospital venue. You can also check out a doctor Sim in action in our latest video: The Sims 4 Get to Work: Official Doctor Gameplay Trailer.

It’s 9:00AM. Doctor Padma Arani, General Surgeon, takes a few steps towards the Hospital kitchen to begin her day.

Dr. Arani’s first patient is ready for her. A young adult male, slightly overweight, complaining of feeling under the weather. It’s good to begin the day with an easy case. Dr. Arani sends him to the X-Ray machine first, purely as a matter of standard procedure. She then has him sit on the examination table to check his eyes, then ears, and take his temperature. Dr. Arani is about to collect more data for her diagnosis by putting her patient on the treadmill when a pregnant woman bursts through the Hospital doors.

She’s in labor! Dr. Arani is on call and she quickly ushers the woman to the Surgery Table to deliver the baby, the first time she has ever done this. It’s terrifying, but the baby emerges happy, healthy, and safe. Both baby and mother are doing just fine.

Phew!

Oh no! Dr. Arani forgot about her first patient! She gets him on the treadmill for a diagnosis. She drives him until he’s exhausted, a little slimmer, but ready for a diagnosis. It turns out he has a relatively minor case of Gas and Giggles, which can be cured without too much effort.



It’s afternoon now. A few more cups of coffee and a quick bite in the kitchen revitalize Dr. Arani. She has an important operation to perform on the new Surgery Table. The surgery is long and intense, and a little messy, but this is her specialty – she’s known for removing all kinds of squishy, essential organs better than anyone else in the Hospital!

The day ends, thankfully without a house call. As a high level surgeon, Dr. Arani occasionally must leave the Hospital to care for Sims in the neighborhood. Normally this is fine, but she’s so exhausted by the day’s activities, she’s grateful to just head straight home.

This is just one day in a Doctor’s life. Sims in this active career will need to balance the needs of multiple patients, their own Motives (a happy doctor is a good doctor), and the everyday demands of a busy Hospital. They’ll also diagnose patients and use a variety of medical devices. It’s everything you’d expect from a medical drama. Your medical drama!

We hope you have enjoyed this peek at the Doctor career. Next week, we will be revealing more about life as a Detective. Stay tuned!

@SimGuruGraham Do you have to follow your sims to work every time, or can it also be like a rabbit hole? #GTW

@Kenter1993 You don't have to follow them to work each day. You can send them off similar to the base game careers if you choose.

Looking forward to seeing aliens again and having active careers - I haven't played a PI much in Sims 3 but it looks really exciting for Sims 4.

Thanks for posting that link jen2912!

Additionally, the Sims official site has a blog about the detective just like they did the doctor last week:

Cracking the case in The Sims 4 Get to Work* Expansion Pack

We hope you enjoyed last week’s blog, taking you through a day in the life of a doctor in The Sims 4 Get to Work and all the drama that can unfold.

This week, we take a look at the Detective career. Check out our latest video:  The Sims 4 Get to Work: Official Detective Gameplay Trailer .

And now, time to jump into the world of Tate Rackett, a young detective trying to make a name for himself with the goal of becoming the Chief of Police someday



The day begins with a 4:00 a.m. wake up call. It’s a cold morning, pitch dark outside. Detective Rackett grabs his badge and cup of coffee – black – and heads to the crime scene for his case: a popular club which suffered some suspicious fire damage the night before. He arrives at the location and starts to survey the area. This isn’t the first case of its kind in the last week. Rackett is waiting for the criminal to slip up and leave the defining clue that will help him solve the case. Perhaps today will be the day.

Finding the Sim behind this series of crimes is not just another case for Rackett, it’s personal. 15 long Sim days ago, Rackett lost his friend is a tragic fire – somehow he had been trapped in a doorless room and just couldn’t be saved.

Rackett takes a closer look around the crime scene and discovers some items that he dusts for fingerprints. He takes a few evidence samples and is about to head to the station when he feels a tap on his shoulder. He turns to find an attractive, blond Sim in athletic attire – his first witness.

She was out for an early jog that day, just before her early start at the hospital. Rackett gathers all the details and races to the station, and his fully equipped crime lab. He runs all the evidence through the Chemical Analyzer. He’s hoping to find any missing detail about his suspect.

It appears the suspect is male, adult and athletic, corroborating the eye witness’s story. Rackett pulls out his phone and issues an APB.

Rackett finally receives the message that could end this mystery. They’ve found someone matching the description in the local park.

Realizing there are dozens of Sims in the area, he starts questioning them one by one, hoping someone can point out the suspect he’s looking for. He has to be sure. Last week he arrested the wrong Sim, and was pretty embarrassed by the whole situation.

Just then, he sees out of the corner of his eye, a Sim doing push-ups. It’s the prime suspect and it’s time to make the arrest.



Back at headquarters, Rackett ushers the suspect to the booking station to search him, take mug shots and finger print him. It’s been a long time coming, but Rackett wants to make him squirm. He locks him up in a cell and leaves him. He heads upstairs to pump some iron, eat a snack and kick back for a bit. When enough time had passed, he enters the cell and brings the apprehended suspect to the interrogation table. He uses all of the tools at his disposal – he starts as the “Good Cop,” eventually turns into the “Bad Cop,” and ends by showing the suspect all the evidence against him.

It works. The suspect confesses. Another case closed.

It’s been a long day and Rackett returns to his apartment to relax on the couch and enjoy sipping on his favorite libation, a Dim and Gusty. Another successful day as a detective in The Sims 4 Get to Work.

We hope you have enjoyed this peek at the Detective career. Next week, we will explore the amazing life of a Scientist. Stay tuned!

This April, your Sims will rule the workplace in The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack. You will control your Sims’ every action as they tackle three active careers, whether it’s saving lives as a daring doctor, solving crimes as a fearless detective, or devising inventions as a mad scientist. You will also be able to put your Sims’ entrepreneurial ambitions to the test as you create and customize unique retail businesses. Plus, there are new venues, more skills to learn, and the chance to befriend some aliens!

I can't remember ever being this excited about an expansion pack. You know, when I first downloaded TS4, I got the impression that EA was sort of going back to the TS2 model. I still think that, and the added content so far makes me feel similarly, although there certainly is an Ambitions flavor here. I'm hopeful that a University expansion pack won't be far behind that will be much more like the TS2 version than the TS3 version.

Same here @TheGoat I'd really love to work with active careers again so much and having a retail store too.
