How would you rank the Sims 3 expansions?

For me this is my ranking! :)

The Sims 3: Into the Future
I love Into The Future, I've played with it so many times and I feel very nostalgic around it because I started playing 3 that year and it was the only pack I bought when it was new :)

The Sims 3: Island Paradise
I love islands and anything tropical so this pack will always be a win for me, and it's fun to play with as well. I've used Isla Paradiso a lot.

The Sims 3: World Adventures
I love quest and story based gameplay so I find this really fun to play with and achieve all the tasks. + the tombs are fun

The Sims 3: Showtime
The world is one of my favorites in the game, I love the hollywood style and I enjoy the careers that came with it.

The Sims 3: Ambitions
I love active careers and I love how much variety this pack adds.

The Sims 3: Supernatural
I love having occults in my game

The Sims 3: Late Night
This pack adds a lot of useful things I like like celebrities, functional bars and apartments. Not a massive fan of the world though hence the low ranking

The Sims 3: Seasons
It's a good pack but I enjoy permanent summer so it's not really vital for me. Love the seasonal festivals though.

The Sims 3: Pets
Meh. I don't play with pets in a big way.

The Sims 3: University Life
Never played with it properly, not very interesting for me. The roommate system is a must for me and I like the rebel/geek/etc type options.

The Sims 3: Generations
Not interested in family gameplay so this pack isn't much use for me. Never bought it and I'm not bothered about that.

#1 World Adventures The memories of heading to a foreign destination meeting a dudes wife getting max relations calling her to visit back at home after she arrives marrying her or asking her to move in.I always to this day wonder what Ho Sung Kim in Shang Simla was thinking the first night and did he finally just pop a tv dinner in the microwave.Meanwhile back in Sunset Valley my sim and Hui Young Kim are hitting the park for the summer festival having snow cones and picking out baby names for our future kids. :D
I just like visiting even to vacation and collect bugs or fish set up a tent in the shop areas and terrorize the locals with flasks of bees and large and in charge potions.So much to do without setting foot on a adventure or in a temple or pyramid

#2 Late Night

#3 Showtime

#4 Supernatural

#5 Ambitions

#6 Into The Future

#7 Island Paradise

#8 University Life

#9 Seasons

#10 Pets

#11 Generations

1. Seasons - without it my game doesn’t feel right. I love the chance of rain during the summer and the heavy snows during the winter. This pack is a must have and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone.
2. Late Night - Bridgeport. Enough said.
3. Ambitions - The new careers are something that are a must in my game now, and some of the new skills are really fun to play with.

The others are all pretty equal to me, I can’t really say which I like more but I know I couldn’t play without any of them, lol.

I pick Late Night. I belive this EP provided the most expansion. I remember my younger self went crazy over the tall buildings (Ironically, now I don't like cities). I remember trying to get in to all those night clubs, but the bouncers wouldn't let me in. I remember Matthew Hamming got my sim kicked out of a club, so I sent her to his house to try to retaliate. She couldn't get past the gates though. My second choice is Ambitions. I didn't like generations; there were a couple add-ons that got on my nerves, so I took it off.

1. Ambitions
2. World Adventures
3. Pets
4. Supernatural
5. University Life
6. Late Night
7. Seasons
8. Showtime
9. Generations
10. Island Paradise (sorry your EP should actually be playable out of the box! At least a little bit!)

I haven't played much with Into the Future though unless I run into giant performance issues I'd currently rank it pretty high for fun and content, probably around Late Night.

@Onverser , I hope you get lots of replies :) As I never have owned TS3, I was so curious, about why Generations is so much needed thing at current literation, and seeing it has been so far at very low in listing, it makes me really wonder why it would be so needed now.

Sorry, off topic, I apologize, and I am not talking sarcasm way, as Parenthood still is the only pack current version I do not have or ever will have.

1. Supernatural-Moonlight Falls with Fairies & Werewolves
2. Late Night-Bridgeport
3. Ambitions-Inventor
4. Into the Future-Time Porter
5. Seasons-Festivals
6. World Adventure-Egypt
7. Showtime-Starlight Shores with Genies
8. Pets-Horses & Western
9. Generations-Family Milestones & many Family Members
10. University-Meh

Island Paradise and World Adventure were my best packs but I realized I always pick Bridgeport for my home world and always enjoy the musical instruments and mixology.

1. Late Night
2. World Adventure
3. Island Paradise
4. Super Natural
5. Generations
6. Seasons
7. University
8. Ambitions
9. Pets
10. Into the Future
11. Show Time

Generations is one of those packs that was a good idea but IMO underwhelmed me in TS3 due to annoying, judgmental mechanics like uncancellable autonomous scolding and reliance on rabbitholes. Though people are tired of my "TS4 Parenthood is just better Generations for half the price" takes too so I won't. :p

I don’t own Into the Future and really don’t want to so this is a top ten list instead.

1. Generations. Legacies are my favorite way to play Sims 3, so I love everything that came with this pack and use all of it quite often (except the imaginary friends,cause they get in the way, but even then I’ve still brought a couple to life).

2. Seasons. To be honest, this is such a close second that it virtually ties with Generations. I love all the activities each season comes with and the outer clothing it came with is super cute. As family player my game isn’t complete without it.

3. Supernatural . I love playing with the occults, the potter plants are all kinds of useful and Moonlight Falls is one of my favorite worlds .

4. Ambitions and Pets tie for me. I love the features they come with, especially the ability to be self-employed. Not to mention the pets themselves are cute( especially the cats and dogs) . The only thing that doesn’t place it higher is that I rarely use the worlds these two packs come with and I’m not a fan of the horses; they are cute and everything just a little high maintenance

5. World Adventure. Traveling is extremely fun to do every now especially for Sim honeymoons and I love some of the traits the pack comes with, however i don’t actually raid the tombs and such unless I created a sim specifically to do that, mostly cause completing a tomb takes too much time.

6. Showtime. The singer career is a fun one to do sometimes, I love genies , and the pack comes with some great CAS items, I just don’t use this pack that often cause it doesn’t go with my preferred play style very well. Not to mention Starlight Shores doesn’t play very smoothly on my laptop.

7. Late Night. Fame doesn’t interest me nor does the band career and Bridgeport doesn’t work on my computer very well. However I do use the CAS times quite often as well as the Vampire occult.

8. Island Paradise. The CAS items are super cute and I use them often, but otherwise I don’t use the features from this pack very often.

9. University. Once more I like the CAS items, but I find actually going to college tedious and repetitive, so I really don’t do it that often.
