Favorite Sims 2 EP?

I very narrowly went with Nightlife over Open For Business, simply because Downtown for my play style has always been a complete game changer. Aside from vampires, I really felt that the EP added a huge amount of humanity to the game, things like restaurants and clothing shops should be a given in a life simulator. That being said, picking an ultimate favourite is practically impossible because I love and utilise all of them to this day. I've always felt that nothing was wasted in The Sims 2.

I love all of them but I chose University just because that EP has a lot of nostalgia.

It was a toss-up between University and Seasons.
I like them both for different reasons that cannot be compared! :blush:

For me it was University. I loved having my Sims live in a dorm. College life was fun for my Sims and they usually met their future spouse while there.

University.
It was the first... I loved the Music, the YA life stage, pool tables, new neighborhood, Cowplant, .... it just worked so well for me.

Oh, this is tough. I love them all. Seasons and Nightlife have to be my top 2. Seasons changed the game so much, and added a lot to it. Going out downtown was also really fun, and the attraction system was amazing.

I also love Bon Voyage because vacations and mementos were great. OFB still holds its ground after all these years, with all the fun businesses my sims could run. FreeTime hobbies added a lot to my sims' lives. Apartment Life had the best apartments, and it added pretty much everything the game was missing (spiral stairs, butlers, witches). University was fun, even if it did take a long time to finish.

Pets was just alright. The cats and dogs were improved over Unleashed, but they didn't offer much apart from that. I do remember the half and quarter tiles, and custom paintings, but that's it.

That was a really difficult choice because I love all of the Sims 2 expansion packs. In the end Open for Business edged it for me because of the massive creative possibilities it added. I could make almost any kind of business I wanted and they made it compatible with past and future packs (eg restaurants). I also thought the business system was one of the biggest new gameplay additions we got (as well as university). It was also really fun playing a business, it was almost like the tycoon games in how it played (I love those games). I also voted for this pack because it was the pack content I spent the most time playing of all the packs.

After OfB I would say Apartment Life is my next favourite due to again, the massive creative potential it offered. You could build just about any type of house/apartment you could think of (terraced houses, apartment block, old mansion converted into flats, trailer park etc.) and you could build amazing communal areas into them. I also loved the sheer size of the world we got with it and a staggering number of premade apartments and community lots. The whole system was very well designed and fleshed out. Miles better than City Living IMO.

But yeah, as for the others they're all fantastic and I loved playing all of them.

My favorites are in order:Seasons,FreeTime,Pets and University :smiley:

I chose Night Life because it was the first Sims 2 expansion I played and, for the longest time, it was the only one I had. I had Sims 2 Double Deluxe which contained Night Life and Celebration! Stuff. My next favorite is Apartment Life closely followed by Seasons and Freetime. I like them all almost equally.

I've actually got TS2UC installed and it's my favorite on my current computer as I'm about to start playing a BACC game with it.Apartments added the ability to build subsidized apartment buildings and trailer parks as well as building regular ones to allow sims to live on their own without having to have everybody in a house of their own.It allows those younger adults just starting out on their own to have a place to live without it being too small and without adequate furnishings to meet their needs.
