What expansion pack should I get?

Very hard to choose. For me, if I had to add one at a time again for the ones I have I would go this order:

#1 ― Seasons Very cool, lots of features added, and it made gardening and flower-arranging for a career interesting and a nice combination for my retail stores in 'Get To Work'. If you don't have 'get to Work', you can still work in the career and build the skill and sell arrangements - which can be pricy with certain high quality flowers from your garden.) I've had a lot of fun with the features of this pack... and it is WAY cool to see it snow and cover their world...) There are a lot of challenging parts that are a cool switch-up in your worlds.
#2 ― Get To Work (I would combine with the 'Dine Out' pack so you can do restaurants also...) This pack allows you to build, purchase and run retail stores, and I use it a lot. ( You can also own & run restaurants if you add the 'Dine Out' pack. The restaurants are less profitable to my Sims for the time and effort spent, but are really a great challenge and fun. ) The stores (retail) are my favorite if used to sell their wares. You get a pretty nice profit if you sell high quality skilled items your Sims make (or grow). My Sim households who do this as a large household working and running the store as a group are both millionaires now. They do work hard and rotate managing/cooking for the store, etc., but it is a fun, great challenge. Just scale back to make it less work. Still... potential for great money!
#3 ― City Living I enjoy this 'world' as an option for visiting or living in. I've always had my Sims in one of the penthouses or the 'Old Salt House' so they are not throwing away the rent money and because you avoid a lot of the hassles that apparently come with their apartment life.
#4 ― Cats & Dogs I just started using my 'Cats & Dogs' world and features... I am enjoying it, but it is a bit of a handful. The dogs I have are adorable, but very high maintenance/needy. There is also an annoying bug currently that I cannot hire a gardener, which is a near deal-breaker since I have a (valuable) greenhouse and want backup for if my Sims don't maintain it on their own while I play other households. It is pretty cool, though, if you love pets &/or cuteness. :smile:
#5 ― Get Together As far as I'm aware of, I don't use these features as much as I thought I would... but I may be using more than I realize. I tend to make very involved and large households that are already a handful, and external social gathering options are of less interest to me, but that is my game style. If you love social gatherings that doo not include your own or other created households, I would move it up on the list above 'City Living'

Enjoy your new virtual adventures! :smiley:

You don't need Det to Work to run a restaurant. It's part of the Dine Out pack.

I pretty much agree with the list @stilljustme2 wrote. Probably switch around GT and C&D, but yeah.
