As you remember we could vote for the existing expansions improvements on April. I am curious which Expansion Pack you choosed and why. If you chose more expansion pack, please vote for your first choice.

Oof I don't remember every pack I chose but I DO know one of the ones I picked was Cats & Dogs. I want those beaches to have swimmable oceans! Plus that pack was a pretty big disappointment for only including, well.. cats and dogs.. I miss racoons getting into my garbage cans, and also just all the little critters you could have in TS2 and TS3. Still holding out for horses......I think I might've also chose Island Living since I would REALLY like the mermaids to get a power leveling system like the vampires and spellcasters have. Also I would like scuba diving not to just be a rabbit hole. My mermaids need an underwater lot! I wish that explorable cave led to a hidden lot as well like the other worlds have, that was a disappointment...

I like Get To Work, but it could use some enhancements.-The hospital simulation. I would like to see the other hospital staff actually performing their roles while my sims is performing his/hers.-Hospital visits and general health.I would like for my sim to visit the hospital for checkups and emergencies, so they can prevent disease or go there if their health takes a sudden turn. Also their lifestyle should influence their healthiness.-Retail. I want NPCs to restock the store when my sims, who do not own the business, are out shopping for things they can use.It really kills immersion to have to go to the store owner, restock the store, and then go back to your sims so they have something available to buy.-Aliens need an overhaul. I wish they were as much fun to play as vampires and spell casters.I know those are stand alone packs, but aliens could still be improved more.

I think I chose Get to Work, lol. Almost sure. And Realm of Magic too. I think Get to Work deserves to be updated with a retail overhaul or the addition of grocery stores, and Realm of Magic could use an overhaul too imo. Spell casting for children and more difficulty/challenge for spellcasters (slower XP gain) would be cool.

I'm pretty sure I chose Get To Work because I knew everyone was going to pick Island Living, lol.For me, it was about Occults. I like the Mermaids the way they are, I don't think they really need the Vampire treatment because the lore isn't as expansive. But Aliens could be so much more. Of course, since then we've gotten Journey to Batuu so that kind of helps fill the gap, except there's no extra powers of The Force so that's a bummer.If I were to choose now though, I'd probably say either Island Living to expand underwater and the cave gameplay or Cats and Dogs to include small pets and other breeds like wolves (to prepare for Werewolves). For Game Packs I chose Realm of Magic because magic has so much more potential. But I also wouldn't mind expanding Batuu to include playable Jedi and Sith and Force powers.

I chose GTW because it was the only one I had, and still is, at the time. The retail part of that pack needs some serious work and the other careers are still experiencing bugs that were supposed to have been fixed awhile ago. Still my choice because as I said still the only pack I own. I can't bring myself to move on to the next one until this one is fixed.Edit: Also aliens could use some work as well.

I chose island living, get to work and realm of magic.

Island living needs dive lots, whoever had the idea to make diving a rabbit hole...ugh.

Get to work to improve retail, open the hospital and improve aliens.

Realm of magic to add a few more spells and please give the visual effects a bit of love.

I was very excited for and got a lot of enjoyment out of the club system, but over the years I wished for more depth, especially when it comes to club rivalries and alliances. Negative interactions in the "Do" list occur not nearly often enough, what made gang wars look silly for the most part in my saves. I also wish sims would remember their allegiances when not in club outing mode, so that when Paragons and Renegades met, both not in the active household, they'd harass each other.
And lastly I'd love to set club outfits to "this jacket/wristband/hat, but on top of whatever your everyday wear is" (would conflict with sims who wear full body outfits, sadly).

I have no idea. XD Seriously, how do most of you remember?

I want to say Get To Work (improved aliens? Improved health system?), City Living (build your own apartments?) or Get Famous (more lots in Del Smol Valley?), but now that I’ve read what @Sharonia said about Discover University, I think I’d probably vote for that too if I had a chance.

I agree that Get to Work needs some changes, but it was my second choice. I voted for Get Famous on April because this was probably first expansion with major gaps.

- Del Sol Valley is too small (Strangerville has similar size) more lots are dramatically needed
- In buy mode we have a huge decorations instead of standard furnitures
- The world is full of fake textures in the middle of neighborhoods
- Every visit in studio is the same. NPC should have more activities
- I miss psycho fans from The Sims 1
- No events for celebrities
- Why security has no possibility to chase away our fans?
- In this expansion we should have the possibility to singing skill but EA should add another songs than in City Living.
- It is too easy to know high tier celebrity by another sims
- This expansion has only just one carieer when Get to Work has three!
- Lots sizes in Mirage park do not match to the neighborhood and are too expensive to be a starters.
- and some smaller sins

Pretty sure I voted for Island Living and Outdoor Retreat. GTW could use some work too, but I don't feel passionate about it.

Get to Work. It was the weakest one for sure, it needs to be closer to Open for Business and less erm...well...lame. I shouldn't need to have mods to run a business out of my home, hire family members, or go grocery shopping. It really makes it hard to have an economy set up. For instance in TS2 I was able to have my farmers and fishermen set up roadside stands and tend them after a harvest. Then neighbors would all buy food from them, I could have potters, tailors, smiths, etc who all had a business connected to their homes. I could create entire economies in small villages where no one worked outside the home and everyone relied on each other (there still needed to be some gardening just in case a sim didn't visit a farmer this year). Admittedly, I have a serious issue with turning my games into long running projects and calling it "Fun" but I really miss not needing mods to create my interdependent sim villages (or at least only needing one or two).

A close second would be cats and dogs. Just because the cats and dogs should have been given their own bar (like with ts2 and 3) to be in because the mods that let you have more than 8 mess too much with CAS for me. They also should be controllable.

Island Living. I still cannot see the big Gameplay feature aside from the world and swimming in the ocean which are not game play enough for me

I have no idea what I voted for back then. Today I think it would be fun to have more active careers, so I'm choosing Get to Work.

I love Get To Work, it's one of my favorite expansion packs, but I'd love to have more active careers and maybe some new career objectives.

I voted "Get Famous" this time because that world could really use one more area of Lots. For what should be a major city, it's a bit small for in-game lots.
