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.

Ooof omg this is the hardest question I've been asked this whole year so far! Here's my list of why I didn't choose the other ones :p -University: It never really felt that ''college-y'' enough for me.. But I obviously still loved it. And the new walking animations for young adults hahaha-Open 4 Business: Hmm well for one I thought it was a little tedious to have to constantly re-assign the ''set for sale'' ,say, food in a bakery.. Also the glitch of the special uniforms messing up their faces was a bit of a killjoy, but still fantastic pack! I loved the all the new activities! Ts2 packs were just so full of goodies, I miss those packs.. (I especially loved the water object that even dogs could play with, from the toy making station)-Pets: I guess the interactions with the pets were limited :/ still loved it with all its beautiful details, like when dogs would bark out the seat-window.-Seasons: Loved everything, though it plumed how gardeners would always throw away the leaves piles! Like hello I wanted you to rake them so that then I could play in them hahah.-Bon Voyage: BV was amazing and so well made. Buying a vacation home really felt realistic, it was awesome how you could get houses on the beach. My biggest bummer is that Tours were just rabbit holes... They could've at least done a cinematic each time they went, but not nothing :( though the helicopter coming to pick them up was awesome lmao. Oh and also, I HATED HOW THEY COULDN'T ACTUALLY JUMP OFF OF THE PLANK ON THE PIRATE SHIP-Freetime: AMAZING I loved this one omg, all the new activites and objects and everything! However, I really didn't like basketball and soccer. I wish they could actually play, not just a shootout that would make their needes decay like crazy.-Apartment Life: Honestly, I felt this one was so close to reaching it's potential.. It was rather boring how your NPC neighbours were always just 1 sim, and the in-game apartments were all so..Un-apartment like and ugly. Nothing like the ones in the trailer. However, the amount of content that went into it (yet again) is bloody astonishing. I loved that interaction where parents would swing their kids around haha.They all had so so so much content, I miss those good packs :(

I love them all but went with Seasons. It was a huge game changer and is just incredibly well done.If I hadn’t picked Seasons, would hsve been free time, loved the new hobbies, the new hidden lots, the genie and the new objects. Just really added a lot of character to the sims.

It was between Uni or Night Life. I love the young adults and the university hoods, but you can't really incorporate it into a lot of the game. My sims use Downtown constantly, and I love the dating system.

Wow! That question had me looking at it for quite a while. Honestly, ALL of the EPs had great things to offer. Even the ones I don't particularly play much of, in my case Nightlife. For this poll, I chose Open For Business because it let's my stay-at-home parents create a good income for the family. I don't think I ever reached a level 10 business when I played all those years ago but I currently have two level sevens and thing they will eventually hit 10 if the owner lives long enough. That's a fun challenge for me as is seeing my Sims be all proud of the items they created to sell. One family has a clothing shop and the entire family has jumped in to make clothes for it. The cool thing is my other families have those clothes in their closet since they stopped by to buy them.Seasons added so much realism and I love the weather changes.Pets is so much fun with all the furry "kids" around, just like my RL.Freetime gave some great hobbies and for more than one of my sims, a career.Bon Voyage makes for great honeymoons.Apartment life had value. Some of my founding sims chose to get an apartment when they started out with nothing.University, while not my cup of tea, gave more careers and extra wants/fears.Nightlife, while I don't play it much, gave us a number of things like CARS.The lists of benefits for each EP would be pages long. Honestly, I can't imagine not having any of these EPs.

This poll wasn't fair.... there was no all of the above choice! :joy: I honestly couldn't imagine playing without any of them. I chose Freetime though just because of all the extra gameplay it added. I love all the workstations, hobbies can make sims seem more unique ( though I do wish we could choose which was their favorite hobby) Lifetime aspirations, and the fact you could now age up some of your sims friends with them. It came with a lot of other activities for your sims to do too. Plus who doesn't like getting a genie lamp!

I like FreeTime because of the Sewing, Pottery and the Ballet. I enjoy selling crafts as a home based business, and the Flower Arranging from OFB goes perfectly with FreeTime. Since I have the UC, it's sometimes difficult to tell which feature came in which pack.

There are all amazing :)

OFB
Seasons
Nightlife
University
Apartment life

Being favorite.

The sims 4 packs are weak attempts compared to these classics.

I loved sending my sims to Uni.
It was long and the final semester made it feel excruciatingly long,
but I was glad to experience it with my sims and having them grow with new traits and the group of friends they went to uni with.

I loved the other EPs too, but I always looked forward to Uni.

My favourite is for sure Open For Business. I love setting up the items to sell, running the cash register and selling things. I also like the skill learning aspect (cash register, selling skills, etc.). I wish the Sims 3 had this feature. I really liked opening up a home business and also designing a store.

I really love all the Expansion Packs but My Favorite would be University, I really love the young adult life stage, Dorms and Pool tables.

I love this expansion. in my senior year right now :) I wish I could slow it down. just built my first Greek house.
I like this one even more than the one from the sims 3 B)

might upload it when completely finished. as still need to landscape it.

it will have to be a media fire download and a Photobucket link for screenshots

This was such a tough choice since I loved pretty much every expansion pack, but I went with Open for Business since I really love business-y games.

Close seconds for me are Pets, Seasons, and Apartment Life. University was also a fun one for me. :)

Open for Business defiantly I loved Servos so much! I miss them soo much in Sims 4. Very close second would be Night Life. I love me some Vampires!

Wow, I wouldn't have thought this to be this hard a question!
I chose seasons, because for me it added soooo much to my everyday life for my Sims back then. (Unfortunately I can't play 2 anymore)

But I almost chose University because I NEVER played a Sim that didn't go to College. I always used the extra time to max out their skills. I loved being away at the campus!

And I almost chose Bon voyage because I love taking my Sims on vacation and having them chill at the beach, build sand castles and get a sunburn!

Edit
-I ALMOST FORGOT OFB! I used to always have a business! I loved giving townies Makeovers! Or opening a small shop in my own house (HINT HINT HINT)!-

Ah the memories! I really need to revisit the Sims2. Or maybe we will get all the things I loved about 2 in 4.. Who knows.

That was a really hard one to pick since I like them all but going to have to go with Apartment life. That EP had many new things added and not to mention swapping between house holds is a breeze but the main thing is the witches make me laugh.
