Best Sims 3 Pack To Buy?

I have been debating on whether or not to get a sim 3 pack and I couldn’t choose? I got Luxury Pack and City Pack with the game. What you guys think?

Edit: Really the debate is University it Island Paradise

    I guess I cannot edit yet, but I remember that level 10 is required for the new career options, like video game designer or sports manager.
  • I'd wait for a sale, like on Steam (usually in October, from what I've read), and buy them all!
  • I recommend either Supernatural or Ambitions. While Supernatural does come with an assortment of types of sims like fairies and werewolves, I mainly like it because of Moonlight Falls (which is my favorite expansion pack world) and the gothic furniture that comes with it. I also like Ambitions because it has several new skills and careers that have really improved my game since installing it. I can't really speak for Twinbrook (the world that comes with Ambitions), though, because I haven't really played in it.

    University Life and Island Paradise are also good choices, but it really depends on how much you're going to use them. For instance, while I enjoy the furniture and occult status that comes with UL, the saves I play don't really allow me to send my sims off to university, so I'm not getting the "full" experience out of it. Same goes for Island Paradise, because I don't really play in its world, Isla Paradiso, which has a lot of things that can't be replicated in the expansion pack worlds (hidden islands, diving lots, etc.). On that note, Isla Paradiso is really laggy for a lot of players, so that's a possible problem you could run into. I have a Windows 7 and the world works perfectly fine on there, but it really depends on what your computer can "take", if you get what I mean.
  • I think out of Island Paradise or University then go with University; there's really so much more content. Out of everything though I'd recommend World Adventures - there is so much milage here and it's generally the most fun I've had with any expansion from TS3.
  • I think I've done more with World Adventures than all the rest, save maybe Pets. That said, it's more your personal gameplay that is the deciding factor. What do YOU want to do most in your game?
  • i personally enjoyed Into the Future the best, plumbots, futuristic items, pop culture references, its just all my sort of style. whatever you want though.
  • I have all eps except Uni, SN and ITF (ITF idc much if i get or not... SN i might so i can do an Addams Family sims... Uni I plan to hopefully get)
    It might help to look at LGR (Lazy Gamer Reviews) reviews as they tell you what they're about. I'm more so going for a realistic approach, which is why i chose the eps i did.
