Sims 4 Origin Pop Up Sale Expansions

I'd say go for Snowy Escape or Eco Lifestyle. I never thought I'd say this haha (I disliked it at release) but Eco Lifestyle has surprisingly challenging gameplay in my opinion. And the new 'hobbies' (candle making, fizzy drinks, etc) are nice additions to your game. I like Snowy Escape too but I struggle with it being almost entirely tied to one world.

I chose Island Living because I have a blast with the Mermaids. The island of Sulani is also really gorgeous and it's actually relaxing to play there, it feels like a vacation, lol. I also like the build/buy, it's also very islandy and breezy and different. The CAS is lovely, lots of new beachwear and summery romantic and Polynesian designs. The water activities are pretty cool, there's just not many of them. I also love the volcano. I ended up loving this pack much more than I expected to.

My second choice is Snowy Escape. The world is unique and different in each neighborhood and feels like there's always something going on, so it's lively. There's many things to do as well, from skiing, snowboarding and sledding to mountain climbing and hiking to festivals and hot springs baths. The CAS has a lot of heavy winter wear and the build/buy is mainly full of beautiful Japanese things.

I'm not really into the "green" gameplay of Eco Lifestyle but the world is gritty and different and the clothing and hair has a messy, unkempt element that I really like. The build buy is pretty good, adds some industrial and shabbiness to the game.

i woud buy all 3 packs they are all good

I love IL and SE, truly. I use them all the time and if I had to reinstall 4 one pack at a time they would be some of the first. However, if we are talking strictly gameplay then EL has more. I know it gets a bad rap with all the bugs it launched with, plus some people just do not like NAPs (there are a few I never use as well), but it has much more content for the other worlds than SE or IL.

SE and IL are very much destination worlds. You will have to live in or break your back visiting these worlds to get your money's worth with the packs. The skills are not completely exclusive, but if you want to swim, climb, or snowboard, only a few worlds have it.

EL, in comparison, offers its eco gameplay to all worlds. Each has an eco state now, each neighborhood can have different NAPs defining the neighborhood, and there is eco gameplay to back these up (a huge selection of upgrades, new furniture replacements like an automatic watering planter, water and power collection/production for bills, community lots). I find EL essential to do any sort of off the grid play. That is part of why I find it to be such a great pair to IL, that and conservation.

So while I love SE and IL, I cannot recommend them over EL.

I chose Island living because it's nice to be able to vacation on a tropical island. I also like snowy escape as a close second.

I find Eco Lifestyle the easiest to work into my gameplay no matter what world my sims are living in. Yes, the key "Clean up the environment" effects are unique to Evergreen harbor, but many of the NAPs (Turn of NPC voting) are applicable to all neighborhoods. And I use Solar Roofing in a lot of my builds as well (lowers electrical bills)

While both Island Living and Snowy Escape offer beautiful, rich worlds with lots of cultural details, if you're not in Sulani or Mt. Komorebi, the packs may as well not exist.

I got Island for half price, and Paranormal.

I had a$30 credit at Amazon.

Definetely Snowy Escape. There is gameplay in this pack. I love it!
On the other hand, Island Living is just a beautiful world with nothing to do. For me its boring, but its worth it only for the mermaids.
I don't own Eco Lifestyle, but I guess it has more gameplay than Island Living as well.

I don't own Snowy Escape, so I can't really rank the 3 packs for you. I got ECO on release, loved the CAS and new home businesses, but dislike how most content is too much aimed on eco lifestyle as most of my households are not really 110% into that. I wish the pack would be a little bit les extreme, like the NAPs should be a bit broader - not all of them focus only on eco, but if you don't want the eco focus for long term, there are too few alternative NAPs.

I grabbed Island Living on sale in December, and love it. I don't play mermaids and don't intend to clean the beaches, but I love the world because it represents something very different from my other worlds. With the "rental lots anywhere" that came with a patch for all, I mainly use the world for vacations. However you prefer to play your sims there will always be a way to enjoy a vacation in Sulani - being a romantic couple, the local elders club, or a family vacation. There's something to do for them all. Photographers and painters get a new arena, too, and the world itself it beautiful. And it's fun to build vacation homes/resorts, even if we can't run them fully as that (yet).
In my case, IL added a lot more than I expected.

If I go into offline mode on origin will it still auto install expansion pacls
