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 actually really don't know, because I just got ultimate edition installed, so there is so much to do! I have used Bon Voyage, seasons, freetime and pets alot. I also love open for business because of the bluewater village. I like downtown too. I CAN'T DECIDE haha lol.

wow this was tough because I literally loved them all.

Nightlife added so many activities cars, dating, bowling, fury for cheating, dancing, dining out, karaoke, the photobooth, i think the gambling card table, vampires... It was just packed with fun.

Seasons, open for business and Bon voyage were close seconds. University would have been behind those. I miss getting really good expansion packs.

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 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
