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

EP - Seasons
GP - Dine Out
SP - Laundry Day

Although I think I can play with only Seasons alone.

Probably for the Expansion Packs, if only one, I would recommend Seasons. For myself it was a big game changer and made Sims4 much more interesting.

I didn't write this, but here's from an article:

1. The Sims 4: Seasons

As I have already said, The Sims 4: Seasons is the best Sims 4 expansion pack because the features it introduces are essential for the game. Now let’s get into the details.

The most important features in this expansion pack are the four seasons and dynamically changing weather that bring even more reality to The Sims 4 and not only visually so that your sims need to adapt to it.

Holidays are another exciting expansion of The Sims 4: Seasons. Personally, I feel like it makes the game brighter and more vivacious, because I love when the holidays come, especially such things as preparation, visiting family, and following traditions. All of this you can find in The Sims 4: Seasons. There are many ready-made holidays and there always an option to create your own if you feel like you need more. They start at 6:00 AM and end at 2:00 AM of the next day. During the celebration, you can decorate a house and try to accomplish as much traditions as possible that vary depending on the type of holiday. On the next day, the mood of your sim will be affected by a number of traditions you have accomplished.

Another useful feature which this one of the best Sims 4 expansion packs brings to us is the calendar. Using the calendar, a player can see the upcoming weather forecasts and events, create their own holidays, and edit ones that are already in the calendar.

The last major improvement you can find in The Sims 4: Seasons expansion pack is a new occupation – gardening. You can start with zero experience as a floral designer where you can create beautiful bouquets and deliver them around the town. And after you become more proficient, you can begin a scientific career of a botanist where you will be making researches, write scientific papers, and gain rewards.

I suppose, even though I have all the Expansion Packs, even the latest one, Cottage Living would be dull without weather.

Cheers. If you mostly want to do indoors stuff without gardening or outdoor activities, then you may be able to get by without Seasons. Like living in an underground bunker, heh! ;)

Working hotels in various worlds including a working cruise ship.

Get Together without any doubt. I couldn't play without the club system. It's pure gold.

Get together and Get to work, get together for the club system, games, and large beautiful world, get to work for the 3 careers snd retail system.

But then I also like Island living for the ocean swimming, sun tanning, loungers, fishing and beach combing. I also like city living for all of the apartments, festivals and city vibe.

And if I was to pick a 5th, I think it just might be cottage living….

I own all the packs, and each fills another piece of the puzzle.

If I could only choose one, I would cry. But if I must, it would be seasons. I need the change of season in my game for it to last long term for me.

I'll throw my 2 cents in, having just started my Sims 4 journey I would also have to say Island Living, but I love Seasons as well :)

Everyone knows that we're living in strange times currently, it's nice to live vicariously through my Sims and have a nice vacation since I can't at the moment.

This is a really difficult question. There are so many expansion packs to choose from...

I think I'd take Get Together due to its world.

Nice. That's what I was saying. Depends on personal preference. I love that EP pack too, kinda what I meant, sacrificing for the one and ONLY Expansion Pack you can have. Then that's awesome! It's a tough call though with Base-Game + only one EP. (The topic is not about GP's or SP's) ;)

Wow I did not expect to get this many replies. ? Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to tell me your thoughts! Get Together and Seasons seem to be the most popular choices.

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

I have the Holiday pack. If by previous versions you mean Sims 1-3, no I have not played them. I like having new places to explore and hidden content to uncover.

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.

That's a good idea. ?

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.

I have looked around before and I've watched YouTubers use them. I know that there are a lot of packs, but I'm really only somewhat familiar with the big boy ones like City Living and Cats & Dogs. I will definitively look through them all again when I get the chance, and perhaps come back and make a poll, like you suggested. ?

Thanks again, everyone!! *hugs*
