What is the best Sims 4 pack?

hello all,
so i finally joined the crowd and started playing the sims 4! it is so much fun and works better on windows 10. I am looking to expand my game but i was wondering what EP/SP is the best?
i am definetely going to get University and seasons, but is there any other ones that are awesome?

What's your playstyle? Or do you kind of like it all, because that's me. lol

Since you already have the Season, I reckon to get either Get Together (the club system is amazing other than the world itself) or Get to Work (I personally like the active careers).

For SP, if you want something to add to your gameplay, the Tiny Living is one of the best options. The tiny houses perks are amazing. Other than that, if you enjoy paranormal activities, then Paranormal pack is cool too!

Though you're not asking about the GP, I reckon to get the Parenthood (the character value is something that I like about this pack) or Vampire (the power/perk system is amazing!)

I think that they should add rabbits and bunny’s to cats and dogs - I know it’s called cats and dogs but i want to have a bunny like a real pet and not a my first pet. I think it would be cool if they didn’t bring them in cause then they could make a bunny bed if you want to have your rabbit as a inside rabbit and have a hutch for your rabbit if your want your rabbit to be an outside one.

My favorite is definitely Cats & Dogs. I love them in real life and in game too. I also love the vet career and the CAS and build & buy items. Brindleton Bay is one of my favorite worlds, although with Seasons the weather is too stormy during the summer.
Other ones I love are Island Living, Get To Work, Snowy Escape, Vampires and Jungle Adventure.

Thank you all for your inputs! I got Sims 4 Seasons, Parenthood, and Spooky Stuff! (i used the create a bundle on origin!) Also, will be getting UNi next, then either get to work, and island living.
As for my playstyle: i like a little of everything. i also play rotational.

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.

Yes Get to Work does include the doctor career! Also, yes! I never had Bon Voyage, but to my understanding it's pretty much like that with vacation lots! I've also moved a family to the island and it makes for fun gameplay. No forgiveness needed, I'm happy to help? I also think City Living is a good one too. I just really like new destinations, if you can't tell :)

Island living is not a vacation world, but thanks to a recent patch you can make any lot rental. Just had to point that out.

I think you should go by the theme or the type of gameplay that interests you most. I personally enjoy all packs, some of my favourites are Get Together, Get Famous and City Living. Get Together club system gives control of non played characters, fame in Get Famous can be achieved in many ways and is challenging, City Living comes with apartments which I love to use. Like I said it really depends what you're after.

Get Famous sounds a lot like showtime- which i found fun. so thanks!

It is and it isn't. I prefer the celebrity system from GF, but if you desire a singer career, you're going to need a mod for that. I can recommend Sacrificial's Road to Fame mod. It's fully updated for the last patch we got and will allow your Sim, once they advance their ability to sing to give concerts, either rabbit-hole, or in person. Also, if your Sim studies up on modeling, and they become a hot commodity, they'll be invited to a photoshoot to have their image on the cover of a magazine. This can be a rabbit hole, (sending them autonomously to the shoot) or you can invite the crew to wherever you Sim is located for an in-person shoot. I love this mod.

It's best to have Get to Work along with the Get Famous and the mod above. And your Sim will have to earn hitpoints 100/100 in order to be invited to give a concert, but it isn't all that hard to do. Once your Sim starts to achieve a level of fame, and professional singing ability, they'll be able to search (via the mod) for Singing telegrams without that silly uniform. They'll get paid a nice §1000 per client plus additional fame points. Plus they can start recording songs and put them out into cyberspace, via the mod. The more songs, the more hitpoints they earn.

Vampires are ten miles above everything.

Get together, it has a beautiful world the club feature is amazing and the sims are actually fun to play and I enjoy the sims living there. I also enjoy island living while it’s a small world and the mermaids have hardly anything to do, I still enjoy the world and actually enjoy a few of the the families there too, plus you can make beach houses. City Living is also fun, and it has a few cool sims.

I honestly feel in most sims 4 expansions I don’t care about the sims at all. I never had that issue with the sims 2 and 3, the families were fun to play.
