Which expansion pack should I get next?

Yet another poll where my vote cannot be heard. I would vote for "All of the Above" though preferably when they are on sale.

While I am of the opinion that none of them "stink" ( :p ), Showtime is the most difficult one (for me) to justify unless one really likes the idea of the three performance careers. But once in play, I could never part with that one because of genies, dominoes, bananas, golf...the sneaky stuff that EA likes to put in each EP to make each of them gotta-haves in their own way even if we don't care for the most advertised of the new options they bring to the game.

And congrats on your exam performance. :)

I'd vote generations, although ambitions is a close second. The reason is that generations adds so much to the base interactions, with all the various different party types, to the robotic friend, to the midlife crisis, to all the rest. To paraphrase LGR "generations starts with everyone that should've been in the base game, and whether you see that as a good or bad thing pends on how cynical you are". Although I guess that ambitions has more raw content. LGR's reviews on all of these will actually really help you decide whether they're for you.

I love Ambitions and SN and would find it difficult to choose, but if I had to, then I would go with SN. I feel that this pack just has SO much to offer, between the life states, the new skills and objects, the gorgeous world... it's really packed full.

I have a bit of a dislike for ST, because of the social rubbish they tried to force into it, and for me, Generations never added all that much to my game that was really special, it always felt like more of a glorified Stuff Pack.

I'll go with Ambitions because I can see you really enjoying the Firefighter, Ghost Hunter and Investigator professions. There's tattoos, motorbikes (I'd love to see David on one :tongue:), consignment stores, junkyards, inventing, sculpting and heaps more I can't think of right now. You'll have a blast :smiley:

Moonlight Falls is one of my favorite EA worlds. I also rely on the elixir consignment shop to consign things (combined with the NRaas Consigner mod) in all my games. It's rare that at least one sim in the household doesn't master the Alchemy skill. Some of those potions are quite useful, particularly with World Adventures. Didn't like the zombies though. I do like the supernatural life states as well. That really adds a lot to gameplay.

I think Ambitions is a close second for me. It's also got a consignment shop and self-employed careers which I use frequently. The new skills are nice too.

I like Generations too, more for the new interactions and afterschool activities than the objects. As EPs go it's sort of lean. Definitely get it on sale.

I got Showtime mainly for CC world compatibility. And it because it was on sale for $5. I haven't used it's features much.

I enjoy them all, but of those listed I’d choose AMB. It has so much content and I use many items from this pack in every single save. I don’t think there was anything from this EP I didn’t like.

I love self-employed careers and being able to consign goods such as sculptures with the sculpting skill. The hands-on professions like firefighter are fun alternatives to self-employment or typical RH careers. Being an inventor—creating widgets, toys, miners, time travel machines and Simbots as well as being able to blow up stuff around town—is also fun, lol. I also love the swampy bayou vibe of the Twinbrook world.

If those things don’t appeal to you as much, SN would be another solid pick. It’s also packed with a great deal of content, fun gameplay and comes with a very nice world in addition to the various occult types.

GEN helps flesh out the life stages, but feels much lighter in comparison and didn’t come with a new world. The content it offers is nice to have though, especially if you play multi-generational families.

ST is also a nice EP and comes with a new world, but you may get less use out of it overall in comparison to some of the other packs because of its heavy focus on the performance careers. However, things like pool tables and photo booths are a few of the objects that are nice to have from this one.

Congrats on doing so well with your exams and have fun with whichever EP you decide on! (And maybe you did well enough to reward yourself with more than one? ;) )

Another wishy-washy simmer here who can't pick. LOL For me, it's hard to decide between Ambitions and Supernatural. I really love them both. Generations is also a great pack if you play families, which I do, and can't imagine not having it at this point. The one I could most easily forego, despite some of the neat extras it has that I really enjoy having (already elaborated on above), would be Showtime, because I could care less about the performance careers and venues. Like most everything in this game, it's all a matter of your play style and what you enjoy doing most.

I'm going to throw in my vote for Ambitions mainly because of the new jobs that it adds. Plus you can also be self-employed with Ambitions and that makes the game even more fun.

If you're going to get all of them eventually then it doesn't matter which one you get next. I'd tend to get them in order of release just because it's a convenient way of making a decision.
