Re: City Living or Get Famous?

     I was trying to avoid listing all of them, since I don’t really know… but here goes 😅
       Expansions: Get to Work, Cats and Dogs, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle… and I’m certain I’m missing one.
       Game Packs: Realm of Magic, Journey to Batuu
       Stuff Packs: Spooky Stuff, Vintage Glamour
     As I said, I’m not sure if that’s everything I have, I would have to check. 
I’m definitely leaning more towards Get Famous (I still haven’t bought any of the packs), but I have been wanting the city for a while, I’m getting tired of Evergreen Harbor and Brindleton Bay… but on the other hand, I’ve been wanting celebrities for a while, and I think it will make for more fun gameplay. And yeah, I’m not looking to get more than one pack.

    City Living has the diverse food stalls like the Indian/Moroccan/Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese/etc food stalls so you can learn more recipes. Not sure if having any other pack will open that up.  Snowy Escape has some Japanese food too, but I don't know if it overlaps with the City Living Ones. Like Eco, it has apartments mostly, so you can't edit the outside of the apartments in build mode. 

    Get Famous has some opulent looking times for building, but I think it's mainly the fame and actor related career stuff if you want to experience the job. 

    Game play, probably get famous?

    City Living for more cultures.

    @darkaudit , I did see that you mentioned the sale, but sometimes even when things are on sale, they aren't on enough of a sale for the person to get both packs.  That is why I didn't mention it, though waiting to get packs on sale is a good strategy, especially if you have several packs you want but don't have yet. They do often have sales, so thanks for mentioning that! 😃

    @stormsai , I agree with you about the interesting characters that come with City Living!  I also love festivals! The food festival is my favorite! 😃 I also like the Flea Market to find collectables like some of the rarer crystals and metals or the MySims statues, along with other items.

    And I recommend for players who don't use money cheats and like to start out with very little money to go to the Humor and Hijinks festival choose a side, and spam either jokes or mischief depending on which side you choose, so that your side wins,  and you get a bunch of items that a starter Sim can sell for some nice cash!  The Mischief side is especially profitable because if you are on that side and you win, the voodoo doll is expensive, and you can sell it along with all the fireworks!  But even if you pick the Humor side, you get a microphone that is worth several hundred Simoleons, even if it doesn't sell for as much as the voodoo doll! This helps if you are doing a Rags to Riches type challenge! 😉

    @Fluffy4880, thanks for the list!  You seem to have diverse packs! (Vintage Glamour is one of my favorite Stuff Packs!💗)   If you are really into celebrities or acting then you will probably love Get Famous.  I am not as much into celebrities as I am culture, so I really prefer City Living.  Either "world" or "town" that comes with these 2 packs have a different feel from Brindleton Bay and Evergreen Harbor (even the apartments have a different feel, in my opinion) .  The world/town in Get Famous is smaller than the one in City Living, but there are several actual houses, while the world/town in City Living has one house and all the rest are apartments. (Just beware that one of the houses with Get Famous is missing some toilets upstairs! 😅 )  

    Get Famous has 3 styles of furniture items... a glamourous one, a trendy "club" style one, and Mid-Century Modern.  City Living has styles from several cultures from around the world , and even more when it comes to food!  

    Do you have any friends or relatives who have either pack?  They would better know what you like and don't like, and perhaps could be a good source of information on both packs !  Or perhaps you could watch some Let's Plays from some Game Changers or other YouTubers...I know James Turner does a Rags to Riches Let's Play of each Expansion and Game pack!  He does them in episodes so there is a lot of material you can view to help make up your mind, if you still can't decide! That way you can see which gameplay features appeal to you more! 😉

    And whatever you decide, please tell us ! 😇
