City Life vs. Get Together

It depends. The clubs from GT add a lot of interesting gameplay, as in being able to get particular sims grouped together doing certain things. City Living is very lively. No matter where you are in San Myshuno there is always somebody and something happening. I am particularly enjoying my sim's apartment falling apart at the drop of a hat (she lives in a 'needs TLC' apartment) and so far I've had mice twice, the electric box sparking twice (both times repaired by my sim), leaking pipes twice, a bad smell once, cockroaches once. I also enjoy the work from home option in the new careers.

If somebody turned around and said "Ok, you have to choose which you prefer" I'd choose City Living, as it fits my play style better, but at this stage I suspect some of the 'new' is still there. Once that wears off, you might get a different answer.

@Arletta Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing...Get Together was new back then and I was like wowwowow but it turned out after that started to wear off it kind of just faded and with CL coming out well I'm back to the "wowing" stage ;)

I would pick CL over GT. In the end they are pretty evenly matched sets (minus apartments which I don't count) but in the end in CL I can leave my apartment and go work/ go eat/ and go to events to at least some extent without a loading screen. That's a big change and bigger to me then the clubs from GT. Not to mention that some of the club benefit comes in the form of the festival interactions anyway. Add to that what is arguably the best "urban immersive" environment created to date in the Sims series (within the boundary of the current graphic look versus the gritty realism in Bridgeport) and I think CL does outpace GT.

@JasonAnthonySterling Hmm...Nice idea there about the loading screens. I feel not having the loading screens sometimes probably makes a lot of simmers days :)

@Simanite Awesome! Any aspects that you liked? and BTW I love your profile pic...so magazine cover like! :)

@Mowgli87 Well hello there new member! (lol!) That's a good idea, there's plenty of times where you can use clubs in CL especially with all the festivals and new skills!

I don't really use the clubs that much in my gameplay, but I absolutely love Windenburg and all the stuff that came with it. A lot of nice objects and clothes. I'm afraid the neighbours in CL will become annoying after a while, always knocking on the door whenever my sim play the guitar or sing a little bit. Both packs are great and I don't regret getting any of them, but as for now I like CL better than GT.

you don't even have City Living so how do you know it should be last? I think out of all the EP this one is the best.

I think:

Get Together + City Life = Extra Awesomeness. :D

I like how the two packs compliment each other. I'm mixing and matching a lot of features already. Dine Out and Spa Day are being used a lot in San Myshuno too.

There are things I like and dislike about both packs, it's hard to choose between them.
