Sims 4 Expansions

Well, I think all of them had their advantages and disadvantages.

The Sims 4: Get to Work -> The active careers were a nice addition, but became a bit too buggy and repetitive.
The Sims 4: Get Together -> A great EP overall, the new Clubs System brought replayability and creativity to the game and Windenburg was absolutely dreamy.
The Sims 4: City Living -> I'm not a big fan of San Myshuno because it is very glitchy for me, I don't know why. I really liked the CAS and Build/Buy Mode items that arrived with this pack.
The Sims 4: Cats and Dogs -> My favorite EP so far (quite close to Get Together, though) because I love animals to my very bones. I wish they were selectable though, if only so we can see their needs and traits/learned behaviors, nothing more. Also, vets! I'm a vet in real life, so I guess you can imagine my excitement for this feature. It is somewhat glitchy in my game, but I manage to enjoy it nonetheless.

I can't wait for Seasons! We are so close now!

If I had to buy them all again, the only one I would pay full price for is GT. The rest all seem to have a common misfortune between them, where the main theme of the pack was pushed aside in favor of side features that weren't really necessary.

Get to work was a really nice addition when it came out but the careers get a little too repetitive and there isn't really a way to select one of the GTW careers without having to attend work quite often. I guess the point of the pack was to go with your sims to work but they're just not easily pursued if you have multiple sims in your household. I liked the addition of owning and running your own shop, though I haven't used that feature recently. Taking photos is one of the few aspects of GTW I use quite often. It really personalizes the game for me. I love to hang sim's wedding pictures and family portraits in their hallways. :) City living is probably my favorite EP though I do love Cats & Dogs. I just feel City Living added so much to the game for me. I always play in San Myshuno because I love the feel of the city and my sims are much more social there. I do wish you could place apartments in all towns. I don't like that they are restricted to one town. Get Together was a good pack too though I rarely use clubs. I do like the added "night life" to the game though.

I don't hate them, but some could have been a bit better. CL comes to mind. I DO like apartments and I like my Sims living in apartments and getting noisy to imposing neighbors coming over, but I was hoping for being able to build apartments again like sims 2 and not having a loading screen when you wanna visit a neighbor. Think that was the biggest thing wanting to visit a neighbor RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL and but loading screen.

Things I do love about it are the food stalls, all the new food items, puffer fish death, diversity in CAS with added inspired item decor, kareoke, the new careers with also being able to stay home home and work. Really want more of those. Though I still feel like it's lacking a bit.

The highlight with EP's and well any other pack they seem to be able to work with one another to enhance gameplay kinda like they're co-dependent on one another. Just working together.

Get Togethero is my favorite EP and probably the only one I've paid full price for. The club system seems to always be updated especially throughout new packs as it expands on it a bit more. Can really manipulate it. A vast choices of CAS items, dj'ing skill, dancing skill, cafe's/barista's, sims inviting yours out to party (at weird times lol), closet wohoo/bush woohoo, smaller portable bar


Get to Work- I use a lot of build mode items from here and the clothing. The scientist career is pretty involved compared to the others though I do enjoy the other ones though the retail part of it I enjoy. I really liked Open for Business from the sims 2 (frustrating as it was). Just being able to customize things satisfies me

C&D- Probably the first time I've bought Pet's since I never willingly wanted to. Use to buy every Sims 2 pack cept for pets and never bothered with it back then for Sims 3. I do like it and can see the amount of detail and work that went into it. Think the only thing with this pack is that even with the obvious name there wasn't really any minor pets. Didn't have to be a lot, but some people are bird lovers, reptiles or even bugs? Was a big thing for me, but think my peeve was not haivng a decent Pet UI. I don't have to see their needs, but I'd at least like to see how old they are, their quirks as well as their traits.

With Sims 4 the packs are an hit and miss and most of them are gimped in some shape or form. Some of the packs have improvements which I would expect being they were created after Sims 3 pack, at the same time I still see Imho they do not exceed Sims 3 or Sims 2 packs level of gameplay. Some of them are under par and bring nothing to the table. I would have not brought CL because it is gimped where I can't built apts that I want and then you have the static layouts which you can't even alter it to fit your style.

Get to Work: I like it. It's not especially buggy (anymore) for me, but I wish the other workers actually got to working every now and again as well. Aside from the scientist career, I feel there's no one besides my sim doing much, so that's a bit sad. However, I've used the doctor and scientist careers (don't like police so much) + quite a large number of the B&B items many many times, and overall, I like the pack quite a bit. It's not perfect and I wish retail had gotten a bit more love but it's okay :)

Get Together: this one I use the least. I am not super fond of clubs but I very sometimes still use them. I hate the constant text messages, mostly because I wish the same sim wouldn't text me every day. Although sometimes it fits the story. Still, I like all the new venues that come with it, and don't regret having it. Just don't love it as much as most other people.

City Living: as opposed to GT, this one I love. It's probably my favorite expansion, closely followed by pets. I play in the city a lot, love the apartments (and, ironically, their restrictions - reminds me of real apartments lol), like using the festivals for dates (although I wish married couples would flirt less with other sims during the romance festival) and for teens to try out bubble-blowing, like how the neighbors work and the many lot traits. As opposed to clubs, I love lot traits and am happy they keep expanding this system. The careers are also very nice and the atmosphere of the city is great.

Cats & Dogs: I really like this one too. It's weird cause I never really liked pets much in TS2 and TS3 (except cats in 3 sometimes), but I really like them in 4. Most of my households have pets and I just like the overall realism of having these little four-legged creatures around. The vet career is nice too and Brindleton Bay is now my favorite place to live when I'm not choosing to live in the apartments. It's just so beautiful. Especially the textures of the wood (idem for Jungle Adventure, which I think, uses some of these textures as well).

You can alter the interior layout though, just not the exterior walls. But you can change the walls inside if I'm not mistaken :)

I regret paying full price for all of them apart from Get Together.

I've enjoyed every single pack released. There's not one I wouldn't purchase now or pay full price for.
