Favorite Sims 2 EP?
Hi, what is your favorite Sims 2 EP? I'm curious to see which of the 8 packs will turn out as the most popular one.

Wow just realized I didn't vote on my own poll :D
In general, I do love all the Sims 2 packs, but I'd say the one I use the most is Apartment Life. The ability to make all sorts of creative lots such a flat, row houses, cul-de-sac with private homes acting as apartments, trailer parks etc, and actually have multiple people live in them is amazing to me. I like cozy, compact lots and small worlds, so this way I can still build small, but have a lot of sims.
Another cool thing I like about Apartment Life is that essentially there is no limit to how many sims can live in one lot. Of course, only 4 families can be played, but someone once did a test with making as many tiny apartments as possible...and they all had a townie live in them. Amazing!
In addition, the CAS and Build/Buy was really cool to me.
The reputation and lower/middle/upper class systems were really sweet additions that look subtle, but have a lot of impact on how the world looks and reacts to your sims.
It bugs me to this day that the Sims 3 and 4 don't let you make your own apartments like in the Sims 2. Of course, the high rise penthouses are really cool, but the apartment system in 2 was just on a league of its own. You could plop down the huge 60x50 lot and essentially make a little open world area just like the neighborhoods in the Sims 4, just smaller and without loading screens.
Overall I'd rank the packs in this order in terms of how much do I really use their content:
1. Apartment Life
2. Open 4 Business - Love having businesses in the game and running them, or even just doing yard sales.
3. Freetime - A lot of new activities for sims.
4. Nightlife - Bowling, restaurants and cars are awesome!
6. Pets - I like having pets in the game but overall it's a pretty small pack.
7. Bon Voyage - THAT PIRATE SHIP OMG.
8. Seasons - The gardening is fun, but all the deaths from the weather made me lose so many sims lol. Still, weather spices up the game.
8. University - It's so small...some of the Sims 2 stuff packs have just as much, if not even more new objects. Sims 3 University Life did the theme much better than this pack in my opinion.
