Get Together or City Living? (Opinions Wanted)

So I saw Origin has a deal on the expansion packs right now. I already have Seasons but want more over time. 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.

Your feedback is much appreciated!!!!
  • It sounds to me like Get Together is the pack for you. You'll love Windenburg and the large lots in beautiful surroundings where your families can live. Build/buy is great, and you can use the club system for family activities and to have the children make friends.

    San Myshuno is a nice world too, and it has some apartments for big families - but it's limited. I think you'll enjoy Windenburg more.
  • It sounds like your play style is geared slightly more towards Get Together. Simsvip has guides for all the packs, which include slideshows of build/buy objects, which I've found to be quite useful.
  • Get Together sounds like a perfect EP for what you are asking for. The club system is great for family players and Winderburg is stunning under the snow (and it snows a lot!).
    I might be biased since it's my favourite EP but I really think you'll enjoy it fully.
