If You Could Only Have One Expansion Pack, What Would It Be?

Do you currently have any packs?

Have you played any of the previous versions? What type of game-play do you most enjoy?

There are over 40 different packs to choose from.

I'd choose Cottage Living if I could only have one pack. Although it would be difficult to play without my doggy. <3

If I could only have one it would be seasons. Weather and seasonal holidays make a big difference to my overall enjoyment of the game.

Get Together :) I would need a pack with a world. GT was my first EP and it entertained me well. There's a lot that can be done with the club system.

Edit: If you're looking for something to "play through" then this is not the pack.

It's so hard to choose, but if I absolutely had to, I suppose it would be Seasons.

I was gonna say that if I could only have one pack, I'd play a different game. But I guess that's not helpful. :lol: Then again, anything we recommend may be meaningless without having a clue what kind of gameplay or goodies or whatever might be wanted. For me, I might choose Get Together because of the large world (which is very nice, even though it's not my favorite world), and I find the club system handy for a variety of purposes. Plus I like nightclubs and dance parties and woohoo in the shrubbery, so there's that.

Cottage Living :)

As far as expansion packs go I only have Get Together and City Living and by far Get Together is the better of the two. Big awesome world and fun night clubs, and several other things I occasionally get into.

Definitely no regrets getting City Living, I just get far more use out of Get Together. Personally never liked karaoke.

And my next expansion pack? Don't know. I may concentrate on the game packs as I've gotten an incredible amount of fun out of the two I own (Jungle Adventure, Vampires). If considered on a cost-to-fun ratio I'd say I did better with the game packs.

The pack that got me into 4 was Island Living. If you're coming from another game Sulani is the most "open" feeling world so I'd recommend that. It's massively different to the other worlds and adds a totally new element and experience from the base game ?

Too much pressure. I own all DLC at this point. My game is one massive EP and I ain't choosing. Right now, every single pack makes sense in my game. The world will end if I only had to choose one. My sim's world that is.
My own world.....mmm....probably too.

Once upon a time I found myself in the same position that you find yourself in at the moment, so I decided to get a 'starter' bundle for a fair price. That's how I began playing The sims 3.

I'd do the same for Sims 4. Get a variety bundle that includes an Expansion Pack, a Game Pack and a Stuff Pack. That way you can get a better feel and understanding for what's possible in the game and how it works. Base your choice on personal interests, as there's too much to choose from and every simmer has a different play style.

For example, I love occult packs but if you don't like fantasy themed content, there's probably no point in investing in those.
Same with Seasons. At this point I wouldn't want to play the game without a weather system. Other folks couldn't care less about a few miserable drops of rain. Same goes for STAR WARS: Journey to Batuu. A majority of simmers hate that pack on principle. One of my favourites, and so I'd recommend it to everyone. :D

You say that you have no idea about how many packs there are. If you're really interested in playing this game, I'd suggest you actually look at all the packs The Sims 4 has to offer on the website or via the Origin client. Browse through the themes that are available and base your choice on whatever sparks your interest. Then return to the forum and create that poll, so folks can provide you with more insight regarding each pack.

Unless you're very specific about what you're looking for in the sims, no one here can really help you.
We all play our own game, not anybody elses.

Just want to add, before buying anything I've spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos of others playing the packs and giving their opinions and videos of them ranking the packs.
