    It's an expansion we've really enjoyed and it definitely adds a fair amount of content, but we missed having more different experiences.

    While being quite light on content, The Sims 4: City Life is a nice add-on to the game which brings a few but nice locations with enough variety to keep you entertained. The price is quite steep for so little content.

    Discovering new additions is fun, but it does not last long, because the game gets repetitive quickly. [01/2017, p.71]

    City Living is a weak expansion for The Sims 4. Even though its ideas and base are good, Maxis has not reached the goal of creating a good quality DLC.

What you're really buying is a nice backdrop and a privilege of living in EA prebuilt apartments. Even if you are a The Sims 4 fan, I would recommend to get it on sale. Full Review »

    Way too expensive considering how little content this DLC adds. Literally a new skin for the base game + a few new skills and activitiesWay too expensive considering how little content this DLC adds. Literally a new skin for the base game + a few new skills and activities (singing, social media, protesting) but otherwise nothing special. Definitely not worth 40$. I am having major buyer's remorse right now. This DLC should be priced at 20$ or less NOT 40$. Full Review »

    So many features!!! City Living makes the story line much more fun to play, and attracts more and more people to it. I wish to Electronic Arts that all the expansions will be so filling like City Living.
