What expansion pack should I get?

Do you currently have any EPs? Also what's the purpose for the EP purchase -- is it for the additional gameplay or is it because you want more worlds for housing Sims?

For gameplay I'd go in this order:

Get Together:: Club system is a great way to group up Sims by common interests or just to make it easier to find romantic partners ==

Seasons: If you're primarily a family player, I might put this first; unlike Sims 3 with the festivals, Sims 4 Seasons is very much centered around the home.

City Living: This has the festivals, flexible careers where you can either work from home or go to the office (great if you have a multiple Sim household), lots of new foods and recipes. I know there is some disappointment with the apartments, but I find them useful for housing single Sims and couples just starting out.

Get To Work: It's been a while since I've played any of the active careers -- they're okay but a bit glitched in spots. Retail can get tedious plus it doesn't count as an actual "job" which makes no sense -- if you play rotationally you'll occasionally come across your retail owner being pulled into an NPC role like mixologist.

Cats & Dogs: The pets are cute but can get a bit of a hassle after a while. And they work ebtter in a smaller household or if you designate a specific family member for the care. One issue I discovered is that if one Sim trains a dog in a behavior/trick (fetch, sit, etc.), s/he is the onely one who can command the animal in that hehavior which makes zero sense to me.


For worlds, I would go:

Get Together: probably the most beautiful of the expansion worlds. I love the combination of the Tudor architecture and some of the more modern elements. And it adds some really nice build mode items/textures.

Cats & Dogs: Brindleton Bay is gorgeous. I like the waterfront area, and the more expansive areas out and about. I'm just barely exploring it since I had some personal issues (death in the family) when the pack released last fall.

City Living: Most people have a love/hate relationship with the city, since you can't build your own apartments (you can remodel them though by moving interior walls and such) and I do like them for my starting out Sims (especially the YAs moving out of the family home; I've even done a few Teens In The City now that teens can live on their own).

Get to Work/Seasons: No new worlds so N/A
