Which expansion pack is the most worth getting

Hi all, I am looking to buy one or two expansion packs during the next sale. I can't decide whether I should get the seasons, city living or get to work expansion pack. I would really love your opin...

@elulu8 Just to put my vote in, without all the detail as I see @PugLove888 has replied a couple of times so I'm positive she has provided fantastic reasons for these preferences, but imho:

  1. Seasons EP is essential, it enhances every aspect of all packs and the base game, and would be hands down my #1 choice if I could only get one pack.
  2. Get to Work would be my #2 choice for all of the gameplay and career options it brings...
  3. Cats & Dogs would be my #3 choice because I'm a big fan of adding fur-babies and all they bring to a household... IF you love cats &/or dogs. If not, skip it. If you Super love them, I'd move this to #2.

Have fun!!! 🙌

@SheriGR Thanks for your answer I love dogs a lot and bought the cats and dogs pack with the game as a bundle a couple years ago

Also to everyone,
Thanks for your help, I recently got a bit of extra money (only $60 but is still enough to buy expansion packs and have money leftover) and noticed that the expansion packs are on sale!!!!! I am definitely buying city living and most likely another one I just have a couple more questions.

1) I once watched a sims 4 gameplay youtube video and saw that they had friend groups and I wasn't sure if that came with an expansion pack or if it comes with the game, if it comes with an expansion pack please tell me which one

2) In get to work can you build stuff on Sixam (I don't intend to build stuff on it but if you could that would be amazing)

    @elulu8 I'm so glad you're loving Cats & Dogs!! 🙂 Get to Work would be my second choice (right behind Seasons) for a pack to recommend. I absolutely love that pack for the great careers, ability to own retail stores and sell your stuff, and many great build items and gameplay options. I hope you decide to give it a try and would love to know what you think if you do!! Have fun! 🙌

    @elulu8, I'm so glad you are enjoying Cats & Dogs !  🐱🐶🥳  And I'm glad you got some extra money and that City Living was on sale! 🙌

    To answer your question, the pack that came with friend groups was most likely the Get Together EP!  It has a powerful Club system!  I use the Garden Gnomes Club to tend my garden for free all the while earing club points while they are doing it! 😎  You can make your own clubs as well.  There is also the possibility that the YouTube video you saw was the Discover University EP which has Organizations , but those will just be during the time your Sim is at university. 😉 

    I'm not sure if in Get to Work you can build on Sixam, since I have never tried to do so.  Normally, you are only on Sixam during the work day (when traveling there is one of your daily tasks), so the time spent there is limited.  But I have visited outside of work when my Scientist Sim has made a Wormhole Generator, and upgraded it and then cloned it so they could use the cloned one on their home lot! (You clone items with an object cloner that you make as a Scientist!) .  When traveling to Sixam from home, I was able to stay there longer than while at work!  I never tried building there , but you might be able to build there if you use the Free Build cheat! 🤔  

    Bring up the cheat box Ctrl + Shift + C 
    In the box type testingcheats true and hit Enter

    Then type bb.enablefreebuild and hit Enter
    This might allow you to build on Sixam.  I know it allows you to build in university dorms and on with Realm of Magic it allows you to build in the Magic Realm! 🙌

    Please update us on what you think about City Living, and about any other packs you get! Happy Simming! 🥳

      @PugLove888 I haven't gotten the expansion packs yet but i think i will get dine out and city living.

      I was just wondering if you could build a restaurant in ‎San Myshuno, and if you could build a restaurant inside of an apartment building.

      Im thinking that for building a restaurant it will be the same as building a vet clinic (My previous question about building a vet clinic)

      I checked out a couple videos and they looked amazing I can't wait to play with city living!

        @elulu8 Hi, I think that this is a good choice. Personally my favourite expansion pack would have to be Cats and dogs seeing as you already have it my vote is:
        1) City living
        2) Get together
        3) Seasons

        I also really enjoy dine out (I don't actually own Seasons I just got to play it on my friend computer and it was amazing, Im thinking about getting it)

        I hope you enjoy City living and Dine out!

        Happy Simming!
