Re: What Packs Do You Recommend For Me?

Help Me Choose: Which Expansion Pack Will Add the Most to My Save?

Hi everyone!

I’m currently halfway through creating an all-world save file – I’ve been renovating lots, building lore, and adding depth to each neighbourhood. It’s a big project and I’m loving every minute of it!

Now I’m thinking about picking up a new expansion pack to add even more to the save. I’m torn between:

  • Life & Death
  • For Rent
  • Lovestruck
  • Snowy Escape

I usually play rotationally with a mix of storytelling and legacies, so I’m looking for a pack that will bring rich gameplay or world-building potential to my existing file.

What do you think would be the best addition at this stage?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance!

    I don't recommend Snowy Escape at all. It's basically a ski vacation game pack. The one ski resort neighborhood is the only neighborhood worth going to. The other two might as well not be there. 

    I like Life and Death. The world is beautiful and distinctive. Mourningvale in particular lends itself to magical/mystical lore. Whispering Glen gives more of a rustic feel if you want to create a farming/ranching community. Crow's Crossing is the town center that has special events throughout the week. The careers aren't that interesting, but I love the new tarot card scavenger hunt. The game comes with funerals, cemeteries and a will that allows you to pass things down to friends and family in other houses.

    I play similarly and I think Life and Death. I was going to wait until the next sale but I was creating a new save and making over the world's and realized I wanted to put the cemeteries in at the beginning. And also every new Sim gets to start a bucket list right away. I think it adds a lot of depth. I haven't even explored the world much yet but I love it.

    Based on the 4 packs you suggested and that you love storytelling and legacies, I would recommend Lovestruck and Life & Death.  Both of these have plenty of drama for storytelling and also are perfect for creating legacies!  🥰

    i'd say "Life and Death" because it comes with great gameplay in my opinion, it has the funerals, it has festivals

    i recommend "Life and Death" for you for a realistic gameplay

    if you want a winter sport pack i recommend "Snowy Escape" for you
