The acting career in Get Famous is also an active one, like Get to Work, which is fun. You do hair & makeup and costumes (which often get hilariously messed up when you're just starting out), some tasks like practicing your acting or rehearsing scenes with co-stars, as well as social interactions, and then perform several scenes "on camera." There are also tasks to do at home beforehand that will give you a better chance of having a good performance.
Making your fans swoon is still the most hilarious part though.
Vintage Glamour Game Pack is worth it for the butler alone. It's the most fully fleshed NPC in the game.
I also love City Living -- it's such a different environment from the towns. Your sims can live in a luxurious penthouse or in a low-rent rat-infested apartment, which introduces some welcome grittiness to Sims 4, which are otherwise squeaky clean.
I was disappointed in Dining Out, however. It takes forever to get through a meal, and the program was buggy.
I had all sorts of plans for using the features of Get Together... and still haven't done anything with it. I'm not good at social activities for my sims. They always end up as loners, because I get impatient with crowds and go off hunting collectibles or finding the nearest fishing hole. That's one reason I like Outdoor Retreat -- I can just go off and fish, although it's another feature I haven't used as much as I expected.
I can't say I've regretted any of the extras, except maybe Dining Out. If nothing else, just getting more textures, furniture and fashion items is worth it (for me).
Ok, thank you very much! Hmm...I think I will go with City Living for sure. I do think apt living will really change things up quite a bit. That is a very good point about grittiness. It's been awhile since I've had a down-and-out sim. 'll skip Dining Out and will consider Get Famous down the road. I didn't even know about the Vintage Glamour butler thing so that, for sure, is on my list to get. I was wondering where the butlers had gone.
I tend to end up being a bit of a hermit too, though within a family or friend household. They don't tend to do the parties and that kind of thing, though they have a few friends come over fairly often. I also end up going collecting, fishing, gardening and that kind of thing alongside a whole lot of building and designing a house. I find myself in build mode most often.
One thing that I'm considering is Outdoor Retreat, but less for the pack and more for the Modthesims canning mod that I can use if I own it. I have a huge garden, because I like to get all my collections, and I'll be darned if I don't end up with a fridge full of items that I can't use in cooking quickly enough. Sure, I could sell them, but... The canning mod uses the herb thing from Outdoor Retreat. Plus, it would be nice to have another place to go.
Thanks, guys! And thanks for telling about the sale, too! Going to save a bit of cash getting these, too.
It's also good for fixing things like those darn sims refusing to put their books away.
