I know this has been mentioned before so I'm not the only one who misses the political career. I understand it's on City Living, but all the reviews for CL seem trash. I don't think it's fair, especially since I bought Get To Work. The name implies that all careers become available. I don't mind buying packs but the money grabbing and exclusivity of typically base-game features is V annoying.

Just letting you know, City Living got better reviews than Nightlife and Late Night.

A lot of people don’t like City Living because outside of Apartments, a lot of the new gameplay is locked behind the careers. For people who don’t want to play the new careers, there’s not much more to do.

If you’re someone who likes careers, City Living is a great pack :)

How is CL having better reviews than Nightlife and Late Night relevant to the post you quoted?

@fifilacota if you liked GTW i'd say definitely wait for when CL goes on sale. I think you'll be satisfied with how the sort-of active careers work.

I personally love City Living. It is my favorite addition to TS4.

City Living is still my favourite pack to date. City Living adds so many new story telling opportunities.

CL is not trash, it's just mediocre with some features (festivals, apartments) that could have been better developed. The backdrops are awesome, the food carts come in handy in every world and the politics career is a lot of fun, second only to scientist.

I don't think CL is trash per se, it's what got me to buy TS4 initially after watching an LP that had living in the city in mind.

Another point about CL, is your Sims can now learn how to sing! I miss the singer career from Sims3 so much it hurts. Going back to play Sims3, however, just reminds me of all that I hated about that iteration, and very little of what I loved about it, having been rather up front about my love/hate relationship with it. With the Road to Fame mod, I'm hoping to recreate a singer career in Sims4. Wish me luck!

There's a political career mod but the people I've watched play it hated it. It was very slow and tedious.

I really miss so much carreers as Psychology, Laws, Stylist, indeed Politics and so many more.

@Simsophonique Ive seen mods for all of those on MTS

CL is one of the better EPs. The apartments add realism to the game, and makes playing a household feel less isolated. Paying rent, having building restrictions, neighbor problems, etc. adds to the realness. The festivals and collectibles (well the posters) are great too. Plus there’s social media, if your sim enters that career or has high Charisma. If you have other EPs/GPs, the community lots in the neighborhoods can easily be swapped out for restaurants, spas, and stores.
I like a variety of worlds, and CL gives me an urban landscape I wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere.
