Which Expansion Pack to Buy?
I currently have no expansion packs and really want one. I'm not able to get both right now, my two choices are Get to Work and Cats and Dogs. Which one should I get? :/

Get to Work.
Why: Your sim can get sick and take medicine, doctors that are high in their field can tell the gender of a baby in the womb, sims in labor can go to the hospital to have their baby, scientists can make a ray gun that commands sims including the option to clean, being able to build a portal to go to the hidden lot Sixam where you can find rare collectibles, and the detective career has lots of detail and things to do like gather clues, analyze clues, research on the computer, process those who have been arrested, and you can even be a dirty cop. I always play the detective and doctor careers because there is a bit of guess work based on clues and symptoms, and I find it enjoyable and challenging.
While Cats & Dogs has some great AI and the vet career, it somehow seems a bit empty and this is gameplay we've seen before in previous Sims games. It's exactly what the title says, you get cats, you get dogs, and nothing else. I was impressed at how cats could jump on top of the fridge, and the reinforcement of behaviors you want your pet to have (such as not clawing the couch). If you're a hard core dog and cat lover, this pack for you, but again, no birds, no lizards, no hamsters or guinea pigs. It would have been cool to take your iguana or parrot to the vet as well, or at least be able to have a terrarium for turtles and frogs. Also Cats & Dogs have higher minimum requirements, so if you're only running on 4gbs of ram, your game will crash quite regularly, especially in populated lots. I had to disable C&D for this reason. I played a good bit before I got tired of the crashing, and will just have to wait until I get a new pc to play it again. That's how much I don't care if I have this pack or not.
