So basically it is not the game play that you are into. CAS and build mode can be part of any pack, even an SP.
I appreciate the game play Get Together is offering. The club feature is a long term and has a good replay value in my game. My rich sims have a a set of housemaids, repair men etc all as clubs. CL is not offering anything long term. Festivals I already can do them in my game with my current mods. I can fill the willow creek park with a huge festival, all kind of objects, all wanted auras and many sims (over 100) on a big large area. Not crammed in a small area and without creating unwanted effects.

The only two things I like about CL is the bubble blower which I read comes with different effects and having the console. I don't see any other merit there.

Didn't you like the apartments and all other CITY aspects of CL though? I mean for me I might not see the point of how clubs are fun. Maybe you can explain it to me?

I would say get together. It adds so much more as far as gameplay I actually use. The best thing about CL in my opinion is the feel of the new map and how pretty the new stuff is.

Haha, yeah I thought Get to Work never really introduced new towns or anything new other than going to your sims jobs so I thought...hey GT and CL are pretty much the same kind of EP we should compare those instead of having GW as well :)

Get Together adds the traditional features of a city pack without the city (dancing, night clubs, new venues, group system, etc.), and City Living adds features that very well could have fit into Get Together (singing, apartments, etc.)

The Sims Studio should really reconsider how ever it is they're planning packs. IMHO, Get Together and City Living should have been one pack, with a large city, the European town given with another pack later.

Overall though, I'd say City Living is definitely more appealing and entertaining to play with. I just can't get over how inconsistent and unorganized this new generation of The Sims is.

Your idea of how they could've fit in a lot of packs into one is an insightful idea but do they really want to introduce that much more gameplay for a price of an expansion pack? I think they thought that divvying it up sounded like a better idea.

Oh this is tough. I love the European feel in Get Together. Windenburg was the start of my legacy family as well so it does hold some special significance to me. A lot of the clothes, hair and club activities are some of my most used in the game.
However, I am a city girl at heart. While I love Europe and the general feel of Windenburg, nothing compares to skyscrapers for me. I ADORE being in the city (moved my legacy family over to San Myshuno) but even more than that, I think CL brought more clothing and hair options that better suit my gaming style (colorful, cultural, modern). I also really enjoy the festivals, although they can be a bit slow at first, mine always pick up and get interesting.
But it could just be like someone earlier stated, CL is newer and fresher on our minds unlike GT, so we may all feel this way because we have something new to entertain us!

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 guys are basically saying the same thing about GT which says lots of things. You both like the European feel which may have been GT's main selling point + the stuff that came with it. So for gameplay you guys might've liked CL but in the term of stuff and basically "decor/surroundings" GT was a better choice?

I notice how you say "new stuff" I guess it'll probably wear off soon huh?

Well that is how I feel at least. I mean I don't regret the money I spent on it but if I had to choose between the two it would be GT.

I don't even do fancy clubs in GT I just use it for friends to gather for things like movie night or coffee or even eating together. I guess it will mostly depend on how you like to play though and what is important to you :)

Am I the only one that would pick GTW over GT and CL?

Haha, I didn't include that as a choice so maybe not :)

Honestly, the packs should have been merged. Late Night did this, and when you make a new product, it's supposed to progress and become more innovate, yes? Anyways, City Living only for the fact we have a city and not some little suburban area. I have no interest in clubs and "getting together." Boy I must be a boring person.
:D

Yes, that would make our days but yeah me too. I don't have lots of interest in clubs or meeting lots of new people (all the fuss and etc. I tend to stick with some sims and some of their friends) I'm a boring person too! :) lol
