I
did try posting this in the Expansions topic, but it seemed like it was pretty dead atm. I hope it's okay if I post it here!
Is City Living still bugged and glitchy (I don't have it, but I've heard there were problems with it)? If so, what are the glitches/bugs, and how are they affecting gameplay? Is the bug/name priority issue where a massive amount of townies are either Asian (I believe it was Asian) or have Asian names still around? I've heard some players commenting about that.
Thanks in advance!

I build things and sometimes share them. I'm not hogging, I'm just slow. I've recently wiped my gallery, so there might not be stuff up for a while.

But my game still generates the same Asian and Arabic (?) names and my game has serious lag whenever I go to the art center. San Myshuno is where I experience the most lagging
But for the most part it's fine for me.
@CupcakeWitch @littlemissgogo Are the names drop-dead excessive or are they diluted enough with other names to feel natural? Every townie being Asian or Arabic feels like overkill. Id be okay with a ton of Sims having the same exact name though. Sounds like that could be fun, lmao.
Edit: Didn't mean to include a quote, lol.

They're not all the same race, least not for me. So it's just a lot of random folks with very similar or the same names. They're not ALL the same but if you interact with the townies enough, you'll definitely notice some overlap. It doesn't bug me too much, mostly just silly.
another glitch i believe is festivals not going away and overlapping each other (but i haven't seen this yet)
and of course, lag when you live in apartments. personally, my game doesn't lag, but the fps is definitely lower than when i play in houses.
+ here is what my 'not in world' household menu looks like right now so you can see the townie issue for yourself:
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
so whether that matters to your gameplay or not is how i'd make my decision

@allisonchurch Ahh, thank you for posting a pic. It doesn't look too bad. Besides, If I ever got thrown off by race/name mismatches then I could just change their names real quick in CAS.
@icmnfrsh Omg, that's amazing and horrible at the same time.
@CyrusTheLoser I'm actually not planning on playing in SM too much. I'm looking for a wider assortment of objects/CAS items to use while doing noCC builds, the singing skill + other jobs, and visiting SM lots occasionally. I figure if I can find it for cheaper it's more worth it than purchasing a Game Pack, which would add less for relatively the same price.

Would you guys say CL was worth what you paid for it?

What do you mean? Speed 3 works just fine for me in San Myshuno.
I did also notice a lot of Arabic/Asian townies in the city, though it never really bothered me, honestly I kinda just now realised it because of this thread.
Yep totally, I think all three expansion packs are must haves, the game would feel really bland currently without GT and CL. I would prioritise getting both expansion packs over any game pack, excepted maybe Parenthood which was a big game changer for me. You can get CL for 22 USD currently on G2A, I've bought on there before and it's trustworthy.
I've got GTW + GT (got during the recent origin sale,) and I've got all game packs besides Spa Day (I believe,) so my game has been pretty great even without the inclusion of CL. Doesn't mean I'm satisfied though, lmao. I think I saw one for about the same price on GAME, so I'm going to see what I can do about buying it. Thank you for your input!
Edit: It wasn't GAME, it was cdkeys. They have if for $23, give or take a few cents.

I'm happy that it's working for you, but it doesn't for me and plenty of other people. It sometimes works properly and other times slows down to the point you might as well be on speed 2 or 1. Then, if there's a festival or something during the day it'll slow down and you can't pass the time quickly while the sims are working and whatnot.
On top of that the whole issue of the time going back on itself is made worse when playing on san myshuno, as well as when using speed 3, so the combination of both has very dissatisfying results (and this is an issue confirmed by staff)
However, since OP said they don't plan on playing in SM, it won't be much of an issue for them

@Jprp83 Yeah, I see most of the bugs as forgettable, but I'm a pretty chill player in general. I have had some annoying issues though, one of which I still need to inspect by removing my Mods folder, etc.
@MrMonty96 Oh boy, I'll have to have a look.

This is why I never take my sims to the san myshuno gym, that basketball hoop is a mess.
