What is the best Sims 4 pack?

I have previously done a poll where I asked what the worst pack was. It made me think of doing a poll where I asked what was the best Sims 4 pack. So here I am. I chose the most loved Sims 4 packs to put on this list. Similar to my previous poll, I'm listing these in order of how much I like them.

Cottage Living comes with such great gameplay features, and there's even lore. I also love the Cottagecore theme it has. The world is so beautiful and unique.

High School Years is another great pack, but I don't have it so that's why I ranked it lower than Cottage Living.

Seasons introduces weather, holidays, and of course, seasons. It makes The Sims 4 feel a lot more realistic and interesting, although it's kinda bland, it's still great. I also love that you can create your own holidays.

Cats and Dogs introduced something we didn't have before; pets. The pets also feel like actual beings rather than objects. This is because they have unique obsessions and fears. You can't control them so they have a mind of their own, which I actually like. Cats and Dogs makes the game so much more complete.

Parenthood is another pack a lot of people like, and I can see why. Although it is quite lacking so I ranked it pretty low.

Nifty Knitting is another pack I don't have, so that's why I ranked it the lowest.

    1. Seasons - I love that the weather changes. That it affects all worlds. It has a ton of gameplay for all ages. The calendar is a great addition and I use the CAS and build/buy daily.
    2. Parenthood - I love the gameplay this adds. With shaping and raising kids to the small details like packing a lunch. It adds a lot of nice content for families and makes the game more enjoyable. Also, it affects the whole game not just one world.
    3. High School Years - I haven't played around with this pack as much but again it does a lot for teens. I love that I can choose to follow them or send them alone. It comes with a ton of nice content and affects all households and worlds.
    4. Cottage Living - This pack added a lot of CAS/buildbuy that I use often. It added a ton of new gameplay as well. It's lower on my list because I don't play cottages very often and most of my family don't live on farms or gardens.
    5. Cats & Dogs - This pack is great if you love looking after your pet 24/7. I find out to be annoying in the sims and the pets in the sims 4 seem to be high maintenance. I do love the buildbuy/CAS in this pack and use it often.
    6. Nifty knitting - This would be higher on the list but it's just a stuff pack. I have nothing negative to say about it and I love all the content that it came with.

    Werewolves, but it's not on here sadly. That would've been my choice. Not only is the gameplay relatively good, but it helps fill in niches with its CAS and build/buy objects that no other DLC has before... or after. Easily a B- or A-tier pack for Sims 4 standards.
  • OK, so I've noticed some of the gameplay packs have been mentions as best packs also.
    So, here's my favorite packs from both expansion & gameplay in order:
    1. Seasons (Should of been in Base)
    2. Get Together with Cottage Living (Historical Fun)
    3. Island Living with Wedding (Historical Fun)
    4. Vampires with Realm of Magic & Werewolves (Fantasy Fun)
    5. Get to Work with Strangerville & Journey to Batuu (SIFI Fun)
    6. Cats & Dogs (Pets & Autumn Fun)
    7. Spa Day with Snowy Escape (Spa Wellness with Winter Fun)
    8. Outdoor Retreat with Jungle Adventure (Historical Fun)

    What can I say, I so love playing Historical Timelines, Fairy Tale Fantasy, Seasonal Events
    & Futuristic SIFI. ;) :p B)
  • I got HS Years during the last sale and I'm really enjoying it, but I went with Cottage Living because it added things I use all the time. I use Simple Living on every single residential lot. While it is convenient, I never liked the magic food producing refrigerator thing.
  • I am suprised that "City Living" is not among the packs, In my humble opinion it is only surpassed with a narrow margin by "Seasons". Besides Wolvies always make me happy!
  • Season was just okay and nothing that made me feel giddy about as I felt it was a watered down pack that had a few enhancements done to it.
