Hello fellow simmers. This is always my go to place when it doubt so I hope that is okay once more. Currently I have Sims 4 with Get Together, Parenthood and I just recently purchased Laundry Stuff and Kids Room Stuff. I am a sims addict and cannot help myself when it comes to buying these games even though I do not play nearly as much as I would like. I know there is a sale right now and I am contemplating buying a new addition (even though I do not need it).
I have watched reviews on both of these games, but am still stuck. I know Spa Day is just a game pack and does not add nearly as much as city living, but I am throwing here for one reason and one reason only. My poor laptop has an integrated card and I worry putting something like city living on there will implode it. I will say I played sims 3 on a terrible laptop for a long time with many packs (until I got a new laptop) and I played sims 2 on a dinosaur computer that almost exploded every time I loaded the game up. For both those games I had every expansion possible and its been really hard not doing that this time. I just hear all the time on here that if you have an integrated card you should really only have the base game or bad things may happen. Its a little discouraging, but I also feel that could be correct. I bought this laptop myself and I would prefer nothing to happen to it.
I will say I play on medium/low settings that run fairly smooth and lag free right now ( a little glitchy after adding the stuff packs, but I do not think those have anything to do with my laptop). A little slower on start up than it used to be, but in game is no difference which is nice.
If I were to purchase one of these, which would you guys recommend based on my situation? City Living seems way better than Sims 3 Late Night (which was slow, laggy, boring and the apartments were awful) and Spa Day seems like a really simple but nice addition to the game.
Thanks in advance friends.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but despite the issues you may have had with Sims 3 apartments, in my opinion they are still better than S4 apartments. With CL you are confined to only "building" apartments in San Myshuno. Which I didn't know until after getting it. lol I thought we could build them in all of the worlds.
You also can't make a common area in your apartments. I love doing that in Sims 2 and in Sims 3, not just for sims in the building to meet and get together, I also like adding a laundry area in sims 3. Again, that can't be done in Sims 4. BUT, I LOVE the food stalls that were added. New foods for your sims to discovery, and also learn to cook. I enjoy the city life feel as well.
As for Spa Day, I like a lot of the build items (but I'm that way with every GP, SP, and EP ) But if your sim is stressed out and needs some pampering, or if you have a super rich sim who likes spending her husband's money, then this is the way to go for you. lol (I'm not helping, am I? lol)
If I had to pick I think I would go with City Living. I just really, really like it. It adds to the gameplay.
