Disappointed with City Living
I purchased City Living a little over a week ago while it was on sale for 60% off. What I've now found in my shortish time playing the pack, that this City Living is but a shadow of what it could have...

Of course I find this thread right after I buy it ahahaha.
Interesting, I remember reading on other sites how they recommended this EP the most after GT.
I also do think City Living is the second best EP but that is just because the EPs have been really bad so far.
And game packs feel like they would have done a lot better off as expansions, with more content to support the theme.
Best example is Jungle Adventures. They chose to basically bring back World Adventures. The world is beautiful, however, there is absolutely nothing in this world. It's all props, nothing functional. The only thing you can really do within this world is dig at piles of dirt and clear gates to access other areas with dirt mounds, which, with the new skill, give you an unnecessary amount of Simoleons.
The actual temple is barren, and their idea of "traps" was to recycle the Doctor career from GTW (for the third time in this game's lifespan), where you click an interaction, watch your Sim take notes, and then play a game of RNG before an interaction with a thumbs up icon shows up. That's horribly boring. It's no challenge, and it lacks depth entirely. World Adventures was in the right direction bringing some Zelda-like puzzles in the game. I would have liked to see more of that, rather than click, wait, and then click again.
jungle adventure feel like a cash grab compared to world adventures,
world adventures had three awesome worlds
and some good content and skills. you can do more with it.
to play jungle adventure I Am reminded of how much you cant do with it.
its the first pack in years i will never buy from the sims 4.
I very much agree with that comment as well and for me it isn’t even the ‘cash grab’ (Sims 3 had a lot of that going on as well), it’s the fact that I’m really very disappointed it isn’t more fun (I did buy it and for a few hours I was enchanted by it). I was so happy I finally was enjoying the game again, but within a few hours I discovered that was it. The temple is exactly what sk8rblaze describes and I find it frustrating they didn’t meet the same quality level as tomb raiding in WA. I truely wonder why that is, there are people working on Sims 4 that also worked on WA.
