I have not tried the Competitions yet, but they are a thing in this expansion pack.Like The Sims 2 Apartment Life, there are street performers.My Sim has joined a Cultural Festival and lit fireworks. You live in a modern city, very similar to Bridgeport from The Sims 3 Late Night or The Sims 2 NightLife or The Sims 2 Apartment Life.I also made a checklist of all the things I wanted to experiment with this expansion pack. I just downloaded it for free yesterday and began playing it. The Sims 4 City Living Expansion Pack is currently on trial for the whole weekend.
