My favorites are:
Seasons: I feel like that one really brought the game to life, and gave it a true feeling of time passing other than just going from day to night. I love having my seasons set on 14 or 28 days for a more gradual progression between them. I absolutely love the calendar and the ability to plan events and not have to have them occur instantly. I find myself looking forward to birthday parties, and weddings, and barbecues I plan in advance.
Parenthood: This added a sense of realism to my families, whether they be realistic or occult. Now how I raise my sim kids matters because their personalities are affected by traits they gain through parenting, and those personalities unlock special interactions they can have with other sims based on whether they’re responsible, have good manners, are empathetic and so on. It’s added depth to the sims I raise in game, and I absolutely love it. It also matters now if I encourage my kids to get good grades or not, because that affects my next favorite pack...
Discover University I love that performance in this pack affects where you place on the earning scale for jobs now, and I love that it can be super difficult to balance having a social life and participating in campus activities because that’s the truth of university life isn’t it, finding that balance between work and leisure? Now many in game careers make more sense. Instead of embarking on a medical career by simply picking up the phone, you can pick courses toward a degree that will place you at a higher pay scale should you successfully complete your courses.
Vampires & Realm Of Magic: Both take me out of the mundanity of ho-hum “normal” life and I can clean my bathroom with the flick of a wand, or set my cheating spouse ablaze! Mwahahahahahaha! ? I can slip into people’s homes and drain their life force because they stole my drink at the bar or instantly transport myself from place to place as a bat! I love the advancement systems in both packs. I love stepping out of reality and entering worlds of magic and lore.
I own all the dlc, and frankly I love it all. There’s not one pack or kit that doesn’t add another bit of depth to my game. I know not everyone can own everything the packs above are some that I feel really open up different aspects of the game whether you play strictly realistic or occult or a mix like I do. I have a “Bewitched” type spell caster who tried to keep her magic under wraps from her nosey suburban neighbors. I also have sims who are “normal” by day doing their laundry and vacuuming their homes...but after nightfall they prey on those who dare to leave the club alone at night. But I also have sims who are just raising their kids and trying to keep it moving like the rest of us.
