I love Horse Ranch and Crystal Creations. I get a lot of use out of both. Of the two I like Horse Ranch a bit more. There's a lot more build mode and cas content naturally and it's all really well done. On top of that you get one of the most beautiful worlds with Chestnut Ridge. Then there's horses and nectar making. There is just so much to do.
I love the gemology skill and the ability to craft jewelry in Crystal Creations. And not just gorgeous jewelry but items that help with skill gains and grant moodlets. If you play witches or other mystical types of sims it's a great fit and adds a lot to that style of play.
I might be in the minority but I love MWS. Mostly for Tartosa. It's a small world unlike Chestnut Ridge but it's every bit as gorgeous. It's perfect if you set your stories in Italian or Greek inspired settings. I waited a few months before I got it but I haven't had any issues with weddings.
