I honestly don't know which one to get. I'm attracted to the fame system and new world in Get Famous but I'm scared that there's honestly not enough things to keep me occupied other than the fame jobs. I've always liked Get to Work because it seems fun and you get a lot of different jobs but again, you don't get a new world and I heard that it's not the best. What do you guys think?

GTW comes with a small world (Magnolia Promenade) plus 3 hidden lots for each of the careers. I personally like Magnolia Promenade -- I've made it my entertainment district with a bar, a lounge, a nightclub and a karaoke bar (I have City Living) so it's a good place to send Sims for a night on the town. (I'll probably resurrect one of my teen clubs when my current child ages up). I haven't done a whole lot with retail recently, but I am planning to have my artist open a gallery soon.

Get to Work is good too though, I play the careers often and use the Build & CAS items a lot. However, it doesn't change a lot when you aren't playing around with the pack specific content, aside from the aliens townies that spawn and abductions & illnesses that happen randomly.

I do really enjoy the careers GTW comes with, though. So if you do go with that, it's not a bad choice.
I enjoyed the active career at the hospital better than the Style Influencer career. I preferred the tasks in the active careers better.
i would go with get to work, it as three fully fledged active career and retail.
police career
doctor career
Scientist career
bakery shop
and you can create other types of shops to
get famous
only as one active career,
acting,
and fame.
up to you, do you like the sound of any of the careers?, that alone should help you decide!
agreed
the stylist career isn't really a proper active career anyway, the sims 3 one was better.
it as less content than get to work,
and a lot of it is decorative for the film sets
Stylist career is a semi-active career, like the ones in City Living or the gardening career in Seasons. Acting is the real active career. I haven't tried acting yet, but I love the semi-active careers especially when my Sims are raising a family. (Stylist also came in the pre-pack patch so you don't have to own Get Famous to play it.) I currently have a stylist in my game; it's not bad but could have been tweaked a bit more -- seems like all my stylist has to do every day is update her social media status (but I have her do other things like style blogs and making vlogs to help along her Fame level -- she's currently stuck on B-lister).

I have both Get To Work AND Get Famous, and "Famous" has more content, is more entertaining and I have a lot more fun with "Famous."
I feel like, as someone said, GtW laid the groundwork for Famous... it is a more refined, more polished and more fun version of GtW. I QUICKLY got bored with GtW, though I must admit, I haven't tried the business-owner careers yet. The "follow to work" options for GtW felt "basic," where as the "follow to work" option in Famous is actually ALOT of fun, and feels "different" somehow. Again, more polished.
Famous also adds a more Universal Depth to the Entire Game. The Reputation and Fame Rankings apply to ALL Jobs, ALL Sims, and fundamentally make ALL aspects of the game simply More Fun. Not just in "scores" though... but in How Sims Relate to each other. It adds to the interaction between Sims, as the More Famous you get, the way other sims react to you. It's pretty 🐸🐸🐸🐸.
I had bought "Get Famous" BEFORE I purchased "Get to Work.."
After I downloaded Famous, I was actually Very Surprised at how much Smaller the download size was for "Get to Work." Substantially smaller, actually.
For those who are debating which has More Content... "Famous" has almost a whole Gig More of content, if you compare download/file size.
While Get To Work seems to have more content wise, the three careers are repetitive and you’re patient enough if you get even one Sim to reach the top of Doctor or Detective career. Scientists are more interesting though.
Get Famous can impact almost every Sim you play and it’s really in depth.
GF is a better EP in my opinion but if you don't get GTW your missing out on retail stores that your sims can shop in so I"d say get GTW first.
