Get To Work or Get Together

Unless you strongly dislike a pack I recommend buying every pack. Owing all packs will make your gameplay more fun and your builds better.

Between GT and GTW, i have to choose GT. I love the beautiful world it comes with. It has great clothing that suits perfectly for teens. And the hair too! The world has more teens too! I was glad about that since in BG alone had quite a few teen premades for my teen sims to get along with.
I do love GTW though, GTW provides 3 careers in which you can follow sims to work, though after the first week it does get repetitive, atleast for me. It brings Aliens, though I’m not fond of them at all, they always abduct and impregnate my males. I love that you can own a retail business with GTW though it is a challenge. I rarely visit the world it came with though.
I have to go with GT.

While I enjoy both, Get Together has to be my favourite of the two for the reasons I commented on previously. Of course, it all depends on your own preferences which one is better for you. I don't think you will regret going with GT though. :)

Both have their charms, but GT adds a lot more to the game. It took me a while to warm up to the club system, but it really does help Sims with relationships; I've had Sims that start out in a kids' club, then go on to develop romances in high school and then marriage and family as young adults. And depending on the club you can build skills as well. The more packs you get, the more options you have for your groups. I also like the improvements in dancing that came with the pack, and the DJ station and dance floor has enlivened my nightclubs. (Want to find a 40x30 nightclub for Del Sol Valley.)

I guess I can agree on that. By the way I love your signature!

Easily Get Together the club system is a game changer. Unless you really love active careers Get to Work is pretty useless because retail is done extremely poor and it has no replay value. There really is no reason to use retail as all clothing and objects are unlocked and there no reason to visit stores because unlike Sims 2 which made you have to purchase new outfits to unlock them everything already is. Also the basics are just not there no clothing racks changing rooms or even cash registers retail feels as if its a afterthought of this expansion.

I like both, but looking back I hardly played any of the GTW careers. I used related objects for film making though, and the pack was rich on content. Get together added more to my gameplay. I love Windenburg, and I use the clubs actively for a wide range of purposes. Dancing and clubbing etc is more fun with this pack. If I could only have one of them, it would be GT.

I'm going to surprise everyone by saying GTW. I played mostely in WB in GT after I got that world. However, if you want hands on new careers and not the broken club system in GT then get GTW. Granted some things in that EP are still broken too, but it offers more ways to play than GT did.

What's wrong with the club system?

It really depends on how you like to play and what's important to your game specifically. I like having both, but I wouldn't push that for everybody.

Get Together has a great world and pre-made characters, and clubs can be really nifty both for making goals easier to accomplish and for just filling out the world with sims doing various things and showing up places. I usually end up changing a lot about the pre-made clubs, but that's okay and actually part of the fun for me. Sometimes clubs can get annoying, in them automatically trying to do things when that's inconvenient, but that can be dealt with and tweaked as needed pretty easilly.

Get to Work is cool if you like spending all day with your sim, and like weaving a story around specific tasks. If you HAVE a story you want to tell where your sim is a doctor or a detective or a scientist, I'd say it's totally worth it and probably a must have. Early on shops were a big let down for me, but most recently I think they patched it a bit and I've had great fun and success with that. I had a sim with the collector aspiration for instance who ran a very successful knick-knack store, which was pretty cool. I also LOVE ALIENS, so that's a big draw for me lol.

So, yeah, as you can see, it kinda depends on what your style is. GT maybe has more general application? Whereas GTW is a little more specialized, and might only be a benefit for specific stories. But again, if those happen to be the kind of stories you like telling, that might be a bigger draw for you. Good luck!
