I'm trying to figure out which one to buy. I'll probably get them both eventually, but for the time being. :smile: Which one do you like better? Which one would you like better? I'm having serious problems figuring out which one to get. I own all other expansion packs.

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.

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).

I personally like cats and dogs better. City living is fun if you like to build though. How is island living? I am hoping to buy it soon??

City Living hands down. Apartment life is never boring, the premades are awesome (Miko Ojo and Penny Pizzazz are amazing), and FESTIVALS. Omg I cannot gush about festivals enough. It is by far a better pack than Cats and Dogs. Cats and Dogs is super underwhelming because you can't even play as your pets (Ahem Sims 3 was incredible for this feature). Besides adding a new world which is pretty, there is no purpose in having Cats and Dogs added to your game imo.

I have both, I personally like cats and dogs better, because to me it makes the game more realistic and entertaining. I also really like how Brindleton Bay looks, I loved building things there. I love all the build mode items as well, they look very country-like. I think though, it just depends on your personal preference though when it comes to choosing between the two of them. Do you like the country or the city better?

I would reccomment Cats And Dogs first. It'll definitely give you plenty to do until you've finished saving for your next EP. A couple of pets hugely deepen your world.

The Cats And Dogs world is also much larger than City Living.

City Living. I love Cats & Dogs, but City Living comes with so much amazing stuff that I play that pack more often then Cats and Dogs.

What are your thoughts so far?

Brindelton Bay and San Myshuno are my two favorite worlds for played households (Sulani and Windenburg being my other two favorites though mostly for community lots).

At first I thought, for family play, pets is the better option, but I do think there's an interesting challenge to living in apartments. And it's a nice change of pace from the other worlds. While pets are kind of essential for me, there's definitely more to do in City Living.

City Living is better, in my opinion. I just personally find that it gave me more that appeals to me. Cats & Dogs is fine if you really want sim animals, a hidden occupation, and a new world. I never made one of my sims a vet yet.

Can someone tell me why I no longer have the option to deface the City Living murals?

Brindleton Bay is so much prettier & bigger than San Myshuno. The CAS & objects in Cats & Dogs are warmer & cozy.

Warning: City Living will bring on the weird fashion police event tourist outfits in all your worlds.

Unfortunately, San Myshuno isn't the beautiful Bridgeport.
