Help for a young simmer

I'm hoping some wonderful simmers can help me! My daughter is a huge Sims 4 fan (I'm still stubbornly in the Sims 3 camp) and has asked for one or two new expansions for her Christmas. She already has Seasons, University, Get Together as well as Knitting, Parenthood and Spa Day stuff packs. Any particular recommendations or anything we should stay away from because it's a buggy mess?
My young simmer doesn't have a particular play style, she just loves to play and is happy to have new content.
Thank you!

  • My daughter is my Simming buddy. I asked her what she would recommend, and she picked Cats and Dogs (she loves the pets, and we both like Brindleton Bay) and/or Cottage Living (she also loves Henford-on-Bagley and its atmosphere).

    She also said "It's really hard to go wrong, though." I would agree.

    Those are the ones I would have chosen, along with Snowy Escape cos the sledding, skiing and snowboarding etc are good fun.
  • Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions! Settled on Cats & Dogs, Cottage Living and Island Living. That should keep her entertained for a while :D
  • @CherbitDip Those are great choices! Island Living is fun, too.
    @elanorbreton I somehow thought @CherbitDip and daughter had it already. I must have misread. :)
  • @CherbitDip She has a lot of the packs that I have...Here are my suggestions.
    -Cottage Living adds ingredients, new gardening options, A descent but not great world. You can have pet chickens, Cows and Lamas, but its more you have to care for. Some of the clothing isn't that good, it's kind of farmer type clothing i guess you could say but some of it is descent.
    -City Living adds a city environment/world it's not great, it adds a few events to your calendar like a geek con festival or something, honestly Id gives it a 6 out of 10, but if she wants to live in an apartment in a city then it might be a good buy.
    -If she doesn't have cats and dogs, I highly recommend it, tons of breeds of cats and dogs, good clothing and build items. A very good world to explore or live in, and the ability to run a vet clinic. Which is slightly bugged but not real bad. I would still put this near the top of the list.
    -the pack that adds the butler has good build items like furniture, and the ability to have a butler, but the whole butler thing is flawed, he almost never sleeps, doesn't really clean a lot, or do chores. He doesn't work very well so might avoid this one
    I'd go with Cats and Dogs if she doesn't have it yet, she may enjoy paranormal pack, it has ghost gameplay addition, haunted houses, etc. pretty good.

    OP has made her selections. ?
  • I'd say Cottage Living is a must! She will love the animals, and most features are very easy to use no mater what world she plays in. Second option might be Get Famous, depending on her interests of course. The pack might seem rather dull if you don't want to be an actress, but thee is lots of ways to build fame, and it is not spreading like it did in TS2. Depending on her playing style, the fame can also be used for other groups, like I like my Politicians to have some fame. Del Sol Valley is tiny, but still has a different feel than other worlds.
