What are your two favourite EPs?

The one I use the most: Seasons
The one I find the most delightful: City Living

I bought them both at the same time as I bought TS4 in the first place, so I can't compare having them to not having them.

Seasons: Weather and holidays are indispensable parts of the game for me. I also use the CAS and BB very often. Some of the activities I don't use as much (ice skating, Patchy) I totally get a kick out of when I do use them.

City Living: They got everything right in regard to the world. Apartments aren't perfect but they work great. Neighborhoods feel alive and well populated with many sims walking by, having conversations, busking, performing as living statues, getting food at food stands, sleeping on benches etc. Neighborhood terrain is interesting, different in the 4 different neighborhoods, has things to do in neighborhood terrain. I love the premade households, have played them all. Backstory/lore in regard to the world if you explore the central park neighborhood enough. The neighbor dynamics are hilarious (but there is also a lot trait to turn them off if you get tired of them). Landlord character/relationship. The critic and politician careers, both of which have two branches that include interesting gameplay. Karaoke!

Seasons

I really like the build/buy in this pack and use a lot of it when decorating.
Of course, the weather. I love having the changing of the seasons. It makes the game feel more alive.

Cottage Living

Can I say everything? I wanted farming for S4 for so, so long. But okay,
Having chickens and cows, like my grandmas did when I was a child.
The Henford-On-Bagley town. It's so lovely and I love to have my sims take walks just to explore.
I enjoy the errands to unlock those new cross stitch patterns!
Cross stitching.
The new plants (berries and mushrooms) and the oversize crops are fun to try to grow the perfect, huge specimen.

I really like (and overuse) Cottage Living and Get Famous. Honestly, all my sims are super famous farmers lmao. They all have at least a chicken coop, and most have a llama and cow too.

Well if it has to be only two favorite Expansion Packs, I have to say my very most favorites are Get Together & Cottage Living. ;)
To me, Windenburg so goes with Henford. Plus, I so love the outdoor parties & the country festivals. :p
Also, they're so perfect for my European Medieval to Victorian household game play. B)

Seasons and City Living. Seasons had an enormous impact on the game and City Living is just great!

It's about TS4 here.

Cottage Living is my favorite. The CAS and BB are nice, I love farming, and I love taking care of animals. If I didn't need huge lots to take advantage of farming life, most of my houses would be based on raising farm animals.

There are EPs I like, but none of them really stand up to Cottage Living for me. I guess I'd go with Cats & Dogs, because Brindleton Bay is my favorite world, and the game allowed me recreate my puppy. By the way, I got a new puppy a couple of months ago. He's amazing and beautiful.

Assuming I can download my favorite premade sims, the Windenburg bunch, from the gallery, my votes go to Eco Lifestyle and Get to Work.

With the voring Eco introduced a new way for my sims to harass each other. I love everything about it, CAS, the world, footprint, the crafting and the recipes.

After Eco several EPs were tied, but I think GTW deserves this spot, although only for the detective career, that has become so integral to my gameplay. Aliens and the other two careers are lackluster and I'm not interested in retail gameplay, so it is little surprising that GTW used to be my least liked EP before I made my detectives the focus of my gameplay.
