I could write paragraphs but I'll highlight my likes off the top of my head:
Get To Work My chance to be a mad evil scientist in the sims close to the way I see it happening...something I've wanted since Sims1. Other careers are better than rabbit holes for sure. Retail is used frequently as a shopper for things I don't want to grind for again. Certain plants or collectibles especially. Baking!
Get Together Beautiful world especially for me the "private" island and the more rural? part. Woohoo/potty bushes (for outdoor sims) and closets are great for transformative roleplay. The club system is a game changer.
City Living I do love the romance festival and the spice festival especially. Singing ability to sing while playing instruments. The keyboard! was so happy for that and its portable. I like the food stalls and the new foods. Karaoke. Had to add in the talking toilet- my scientists usually have it now and name it HAL... sometimes it's the only social they get.
Cats & Dogs Proved to me I could enjoy pets in the sims! The animations and interactions are wonderful to experience. The pets feel like family to me. To be protected and cared for. Brindleton Bay is gorgeous to me.
Outdoor Retreat Still a favorite. Learning using herbalism skill is one of the only "witchy" things I can do so far. I've incorporated that and the serene natural feel in my game. My sims often "live" there for a long time. I am not sure what I would do without tents, coolers or cloudgazing.
Spa Day Yoga, massage and mediation are pretty common things for my sims to use at home. The build buy is possibly my favorite for soothing modern.
Dine Out More things for my sims to do with their free time. Its great for stories and building relationships. Figuring out how to make it work in a timely manner makes me feel superior ;). I like the possibility of food poisoning. Great place to mess with other sims also. CAS.
Vampires New way to play that I still haven't fully explored, but have fun when I do. I love the build/buy for making other horror themed houses and lots.
Parenthood Build/buy. I love this style and fits so well with Cats&Dogs style too. I rarely play with aging on so haven't fully experienced what this does. I do like the difference in game play when I play my sims as children though.
Jungle Adventure Still haven't fully explored temples. I love the build/buy. I love bringing my sims to that "culture". It makes me feel like I've brought them to an exotic place. It hits home with me too because of my racial background. New songs to play on the guitar and dance. CAS.
Luxury Party The banquet tables are part of my gameplay. Actually beginning to appreciate some of the mens clothes for my Zoolander character. The hair and one of my favorite ladies shoes.
Perfect Patio Hottubs! Build/buy style works well in my bachelor pads.
Cool Kitchen Stuff Knife rack >:). Ice cream machine is fun. Now that we have more fridges and counters I use these less. I still use them though. Really cute decor. Oh aprons.
Spooky I like the pumpkin carving table and the costumes the most. I like the spiderwebs with the animated spiders. Wallpaper. Will be using this more with Seasons.
Movie Hangout Ability to watch movies together and the interactions. Some favorite hairstyles and popcorn.
Romantic Garden The baroque radio station is a must for certain sims. Women's clothes and hair in general. The outdoor benches, fountains are great for making formal mansions ect..
Kids Room Build/buy is much better than base game. More variety in clothing for kids when I play them. Puppet theater.
Backyard Windchimes and bird feeder. The build buy is really cute when it fits the character.
Vintage Glamour Favorite. Needed for highclass, nouveau rich or just for the glam. Butler is my fave NPC. Wow everything really.
Bowling Night I love retro so needed for CAS especially. Build/buy is good but you have to be creative to fill out a house. Bowling is another activity for my sims to do when going out.
Fitness Build/buy style. Working out to the tv. CAS is used more and more.
Toddler If I have one it's used. Love the little treehouse cause it fits nearly anywhere. CAS.
Laundry Day Build/buy all the way. I'd buy it for that alone. Love the relaxed clothes too. Enjoy the washtub/clothes line. Not using it much otherwise.
My First Pet Love the new illness and disease process. I enjoy the control over it also. Oh and the hamster/rat/hedgehog/bubalus is fun and cute too.
