I know what you mean, I would be getting one of them and playing with it for a while before getting the next one. I like your points though. I like both worlds from what I've seen in LP's. It's just the game play I guess - working out if I want clubs first or all the festivals and things like that... GAHHH

That's a good point (I have cats and dogs too) the city is tempting and then going to Get Together second.

Personally I don't really use it. However, I love Windenburg and the CAS/Build items that come with Get Together as well. Since you're getting both it really doesn't matter. If you're looking for a great new world and some fun new gameplay, City Living. If you're looking for a great new world and CAS/Build items, Get Together.

Yeah, the thing about City Living is that San Myshuno is completely different from all the other worlds, and the apartment gameplay is really fun, although the "noisy neighbors" can and will get on your nerves from time to time!

I believe it's all packs other than stuff packs? I could be wrong - I get the types of packs mixed up all the time

Lot more lots if you're looking for more places for your sims to be less you enjoy the apartments. (I tend to get neighbors randomly popping in to hang out cause they're bored or eat my food. PFT, though they also come over for game night which is cool.)
Dj'ing, night clubs, being invited out to parties, cafe's, the club system is nice and you can manipulate things pretty well with it plus it's constantly updating with each new pack, diving platform if you're really wanting something close to a diving board, break dancing, closet woohoo and woohooing in a bush, Dont wake the llama tabel game, arcade machine and fooseball, darts, dancing skill and I really enjoy a lot of the clothing in that pack too.
City living I do enjoy watching sims going back and forth in the city, ordering food and coffee from stalls (i see them litter a lot in the city too the heck), picketing for a better cause with the politician career, 3 new careers come with the pack too one playing into the dine out pack (food critic), festivals, kareoke, basket ball, more lot traits (the earthquake one makes me get motion sickness
Really comes down to preference what you see yourself using a lot more. Partying it up and doing a lot of group related activities or that active city life with new careers.
But I also really like get together. The world is beautiful. Clubs can be really useful. And they added new venues. I like my sims to go out, and I love the night club and dancing in the pack. Also really solid B/B and CAS.
I love Windenburg bc it's both beautiful and multi-functional. I refuse to use anything but the private island for my history challenges, bc it looks wild (with no infrastructure, some wild plants and untamed scenery etc.) and doesn't have random sims jogging by in bright pink sweatpants while my pre-historic sims bang rocks together. I like playing with vamps in Windenburg bc it gives that traditional European setting - one of my vamps prowled the streets and alleys at night in search of prey, which was really fun. All my history period games are here, but there are modern areas that work incredibly for the present as well. Once again, the private island is great for secret hangouts, being a hermit or building a massive castle or park (or anything you want) on the 64x64 lot.
Bc Windenburg is so big and has many different neighbourhoods with different atmospheres and looks to each, I think one can play there more and not feel like you're stuck in a static place. Willow Creek, for example, feels the same for me everywhere my sim goes, but each time I live somewhere else in Windenburg, I notice something new in the world and find a new place for my sim to frequent. One sim just really liked reading in the town square and looking at the sunset over the water. It's very beautiful.
There are also way more lots that you can edit in Windenburg than City Living, so you're a bit stuck with what you've got in CL. San Myshuno is awesome though and adds a very different type of environment, especially if you're sick of more suburban types of worlds. The views from the apartments are amaziiiing and I love many things that CL offers, especially obviously the apartments and cultural stuff.
In conclusion: I can't imagine playing without GT, but I can certainly survive without CL. GT adds more to the overall game, whereas much of CL's content is quite limited to San Myshuno. Both are cool, but GT remains my favourite EP.
PS: if you're planning on getting Seasons, Windenburg will hands-down be a MAGICAL experience in winter.

It has more gameplay objects than CL (dj booth, bonfires, don't wake the llama, foosball, darts, diving platform, professional coffee machine, dance floors, woohoo bush, closets, multiplayer arcade machine), a gorgeous European town, clubs feature, Cafés, secret parties, happy hour, etc.
CL is a complete disgrace of an EP imo.
City Living doesn't really feel like a city to me. You can't go to any buildings (it's all a backdrop) and it has festivals that I rarely go to. The build/buy and CAS is nice though. I guess my real problem with this expansion was that I lack the control to make my own apartments and buildings. I really loved making my own apartments in the sims 2 and buildings in the sims 3.
