City Living or Cats and Dogs?

I got Cats and Dogs then City Living after, and I have to say personally was bored with only Cats and Dogs, but with City Living absolutely loved it. I loved the apartment life, new cultures, and events going on, love it!

Animals get difficult like in life, like you have to pay a lot of attention to them and take dogs on walks etc... but having said that, when I have a family with a little free time, I absolutely love the furry friends, they're flipping adorable!

I guess it just depends on what you prefer, and how you prefer to play, sims going out on the town all night or families? That's how I see it at least :smile:

I personally prefer City Living in terms of world, CAS, BB, and new gameplay. For C&D I like it and all; the pets are cute, but can be really annoying too.

Basically ask yourself if you can live without pets. If the answer is yes, go get City Living. It is essential to me; it's be best world, and adds so very very much to the game.

I guess I'm in the minority here? Because I much prefer Cats and Dogs over City Living, in fact it is one of my favourite packs - and not just for the pets either, although they are really cute and versatile. Brindleton Bay is my favourite world so far and there are also lots of really lovely CAS and build items. I couldn't play without it now.

I do like City Living, but it's probably my least favourite EP after Get Famous. I'm not much of a city girl, but it is nice to play there from time to time, and I do like the festivals and singing skill, which also works well with Get Famous. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with either pack and what you prefer will depend on your own play style. I recommend checking out the SimsVIP or Carl guides and other reviews if you haven't already done so to see which appeals to the most at this point in time.

Hehe this is me too! I'll probably get City Living, because my dream is to a famous actress and live in a Penthouse in LA, and I already have Get Famous. I guess you could just go on YouTube and watch some reviews for both, then decide? That's what I did.

I've watched a lot of gameplay videos of the sims 4 so I feel I kind of know what to expect, and I've only read reviews. The penthouse thing intrigues me as well as the new careers. I honestly make my sims do nothing but work all the time xd

I'm very glad I made this thread :smiley: after all the replies I think I'm leaning much more towards City Living


And thanks for everyone who has replied ^^

Oh I've seen let's plays and I absolutely love Brindleton Bay... from what I've seen. I personally like all CAS items that come with both of the packs, which is important to me cause I spend million years making my sims look good. Building is something I haven't spent so much time on in the past, but I'm growing to like it more and more.

Hmm, I didn't really like Get Famous either. I just had one woman become a worldwide celebrity and a movie star and that was it... And Del Sol Valley was just so tiny too. I also didn't like it that it didn't have snow during winter. :disappointed: Have you ever grown tired of the pets? I wonder if they're like vampires (cause I got tired of them after like an hour) or if they're like aliens (you can never go wrong with aliens).

Yes, Brindleton Bay is really beautiful. I love it and the country/seaside feel. It's also great for building if you're into that. There's lots of space and the architecture is really nice. I agree both packs offer nice CAS and build items. I just prefer living in a house over an apartment/penthouse, which can feel really isolated. It's nice to have the option of living in the city for certain households/stories though.

I've never been into the fame/celebrity theme (I'm more of a family style player), although I will admit the fame/reputation system is very well done. The only disappointment for me was Del Sol Valley, which I find small too and rather ugly. I haven't grown tired of pets yet, but then I'm an animal lover (and a huge fan of vampires - more so for storytelling than earning ranks/powers though). Dogs are naturally more demanding as they need walks and training, but even cats feel like part of the family. You can't control them, which I personally prefer as they feel more like real life pets. It's really cute watching their little mannerisms and reactions, and watching them bond and snuggle with my sims, especially toddlers. They're also really fun to make in CAS as they're just so versatile. I just guess it depends on your own interests and play style as I mentioned before. :)

Depends upon what you're most excited for in your game: the ability to live in apartments in the city, or adding furry friends to your households. If I had to choose, I'd choose C&D. Don't misunderstand, I love CL, but pets have always meant more to me than city living. However, I do hope they're are more worlds in the future that are cities.

the city for sure, i just love the festivals so much
