Did you pay full price for The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs and was it worth it?

I wish there was an option for full price and kinda worth it. lol Don't get me wrong, I was so excited when they announced the EP that I pre-ordered it. I'm enjoying the cats and dogs, and the few new food items (I LOVE any and all new foods added to the game!) But I was let down that pets aren't controllable. Thank goodness someone made a mod for that. I don't control their every move, but it's nice to see their stats and the like. I also wish we had some minor pets, like birds, hamsters, fish that actually need caring for, etc. But at least we have that in Sims 3.

As far as the new world goes. It's pretty, lovely even. But it makes me even more sad, looking at it's backdrop scenery, and I can't help but to think just how much more fun these worlds could be if they were open world, you could fish where ever you wanted, and the bodies of water were swimable.
