Get Together or City Living? (Opinions Wanted)

I like both.

In CL there are no empty lots. For a big family you can (if they can afford it) build a penthouse. Also : you can only build penthouses, not apartments, you can modify the inside of the appartements but not their shape or the building.
I like the city though, and the festivals. I also like that it brought more diversity in my game.

Now Get together. It brings the club system, which allows you to have sims so activities together, you can get very creative with it.
Then Windenburg is beautiful and it has a lot of snow in the winter. It also has a night club, a public pool, pubs and coffee shops. There’s a lot of build mode content, but mostly It’s for more ancient European like buildings (like the ones in Windenburg).

So gameplay wise I’d say Get together adds more. But I really like the diversity City living adds.

Get Together. You are a family player so clubs will or could help expand your gameplay. It is a beautiful world with larger areas than you have with the base game. I would say you get about as much stuff either way.. maybe a tad more with CL so that would be good to compare.
I personally have more bugs with CL... it helps if you get them to zone in and out of areas more often to reset. Festivals right now have problems with Weather... like if you go to Geek Con and it's raining electronics will break. I think there are some other common issues but I don't live there enough to experience them. Apartments to me are claustrophobic but that is pure opinion and taste I guess. I would get CL no matter what to fill out the object/gameplay but if I had to chose only one it would be GT.

GT by a longshot :)

With there being a deal, it seems like a good time to get another, however I can only afford one right now. I think I have it narrowed down to Get Together or City Living, and I wanted to know which EP you all think is better.

> It would probably help if you knew my play style / preferences. I usually play with large families. With having Seasons, I also like worlds that get a good amount of snow in Winter (my current family is in Willow Creek). I would also appreciate an EP that offered more nice build options, for example I hate how in the base game there are only two marble flooring options and very few front doors that aren't white ( I actually think overall Sims 3 had better build options, but I digress). I think I am leaning toward Get Together just for the fact that Windenburg looks visually stunning and it seems like more of a family place. I would guess there are fewer house / large lot options in City Living because it seems like there is more of an emphasis on apartment living in that game (which isn't really appealing with a family of 6-8 compared to a huge house). However if there are lots of cool things to do in City Living that may sway my opinion a little.

I like both but Get Together is more worth it !! You get so much stuff that´s soooo lovely :) Like a new city, a lot of new windows and doors that are sooo beautiful. And so many other items. It is so worth it :)

GT gets my vote if you like playing with families. Apartments in CL can end up cramped if you play with larger households. And it's hard to beat the club system, which can give you in-game control over townies as well as your own Sims if you really want to get into it. I've made Sims and builds based around the club system, lol.

CL is good if you're playing single Sims or couples, or you like to take your Sims out on the town a lot. It's by no means a bad pack, and you probably wouldn't regret having it. But I just feel like you'd get more out of GT if you can only get one or the other. There are some nice wood floors in CL (due to being used as basketball courts) though. CL offers a few interactive careers as well that might interest you. Politician, Social Media, and something else I can't remember off the top of my head.

My advice: Buy Get Together.
I love the town of Windenburg. To me Windenburg is the perfect place for families. There are pubs for the dads to hang out and get some "family free time" when needed, there are cafés for the mums to do the same, and a big hedge maze for the kids to enjoy. I even turned a tavern and the library into family homes so more Sims can enjoy the beautiful town. Currently I don't have one lot unoccupied there. The EP also adds interesting Sims to the game your Sims can get married to (females: Sofia Bjergsen, Elsa Bjergsen, Luna Villareal, Jade Rosa; males: Wolfgang Munch, Lucas Munch, Paolo Rocca, Joaqin Le Chien, Marcus Flex).

Hope I could help.

Get Together, because I like Windenburg & enjoy the club system. Since you're playing with large families, it is better to get GT than CL. On the other hand, CL offers different type of festivals that your family can enjoy too & not to forget, it comes with weird neighbours..just make sure to lock your door :D And, as you said, there are fewer large Lots in San Myshuno..

Thanks everyone. I decided to get Get Together for now, and so far it seems to have been a good choice. My family had been living on the 50x50 lot in Willow Creek (Oakenstead), in a house I built, so what I did was copy my house to the library (I have put a lot of work into that house, including four money trees), so I didn't want to lose that. I did upgrade to a 64x64 lot in Windenburg, I moved whatever family was living in the 64x64 lot on the island and bulldozed the house that was there.

I also am currently starting a romance between the oldest teen boy in my family and Morgan Fyres (I was surprised by how pretty she already is). There do seem to be a lot of possibilities for pair offs for the children as they get older, so that is good. I think the next thing is just getting them out to see different parts of the town (it's only been one sim day so far).

GT by far!

I think GT is fantastic for family players.

Clubs make it so much easier to manage huge, multi generational families, especially combined with season's holidays. I feel like the two expansions work together really well. And Windenburg offers a lot of living space as opposed to San Myshuno.

I wouldn't recommend getting City Living at all - that EP will introduce so many bugs to your game you'll no longer want to play it and it offers very little to make up for that. Keep in mind the apartments come with non-deletable treats like "needs TLC" and such, that are essentially a nightmare to deal with if you play households with kids. Not to mention the neighbors are a major pain in the arse in every district and it's also impossible to make them leave you alone. All in all San Myshuno only goes with a very specific playstyle, or a specific storyline. Windenburg and GT let you play your way, however you wish to :)
