You actually can change the interior walls of city living apartments and now the windows. I change my apartments often and upload the new floor plan with furniture to the gallery. To upload them you have to use room instead of lot and leave a wall open in each room to be able to upload it right.

I find it hard to pick just one.
Get together has the most lots ( where you can have a yard to build on ). It has cafe’s ( which work so well!), it has Night Clubs with dance floors, and DJ booths ( you can even make money being a DJ., it has special lots. it has “Emily,” the sea monster, it has stuff to make natural pools, with bubbles, etc. and jumping platforms., it has a 4 person video game, a dart board, and another 4 player game. It has the club system…… first great inclusive feature in the game. It has really great outside wallpaper too. So, for lots of things to do, many lots and lot types, and the club system I put it first. One disadvantage it has is that it was made before ocean/lake/pond swimming, and there are so many spots, especially around the island, and the pond that I would love to be able to have my sims swim. But Get Together has to be 1st for me because of those things I mentioned, you can at least make things that look like ponds ( you can swim in ).
But to be honest I love so many more packs that I believe are essential..
Growing Together has the best infants, they seem so real the things they can do, it has milestones, likes and dislikes, bikes for children, and a treehouse. It also has stuff to make a splash area for summer. It has a new community type lot, and a rabbit hole movie theatre, It has a warf area, plus two other areas. It has a lake area to swim. The world is a decent world. If you love playing infants, this pack is essential,
City living was another pack that had a lot of lots, mostly as apartments. It was the first time we saw new lot traits too. Came with the bubble blower machine, Karaoke, and the Karaoke lot type. ( good for the bowling stuff pack too. ). It also came with inferior appliances and furniture ( cheap and used :). And of course there are the 3 festivals, swap meet,, and multiple food stands for many cultures., the same with the clothing, very multi cultured.. Recipes, lots of new food recipes, and an at home video game system, oh and it has the cutest snow collection (still one of my favorite collections ) and also posters. It also came with 2 or 3 new jobs/careers. An essential pack if you want to live in a culturally diverse city with apartments, and lots of new food choices.
Island living, what a beautiful world. Ocean fishing, jet ski’s, and one person boat, tons of new swimming suits, and warm weather clothes, hut like wall papers and roofs, a few new lot traits, suntanning, sand castle building, finding shells and also finding stuff in the sand. Cute Island furniture. I believe it had the first swing set as well, and it has little festivals, kind of cute little ones, unfortunately they don’t pop up to let you know when and where they are, best to google them. It was the first time we could use a land as a vacation world and residential world. There are 1 or 2 new careers, and some part time jobs. You can also make money doing odd jobs for islanders. It came with pineapple, coconuts, and Kava’s to grow, and a Kava bowl. And it was the first expansion pack to come with an occult, Mermaids. It also has some part time and full time jobs. If you want an Island paradise, have a fisherman, want mermaids, or just want your sim to be a beach bum, or ahave a great tropical beach vacation, I see this pack as essential too…..
Cottage living, love the world, very country looking, has quite a few lots, has country clothes,, new types of produce like watermelon and pumpkins and some others.. you can own a cow, llama, and or chickens. Collect Milk, eggs and wool ( great for knitting if you have nifty knitting ). It comes with embroidery, and the skill, you can do odd jobs for locals,, you can find various new mushroom, chocolate berries and such, it has a fair where your animals, produce, ( and I think cooking ( not sure about the last one ), can be judged. It has a picnic basket you can take with you for a picnic on a picnic table. It has a new canning ( cooking ) skill, and new country recipes. The bar has a new menu, And one if the best things it came with was the simple living lot trait where you need to have the produce, eggs, milk, flour, sugar, etc. to cook meals.. it also have 2 stands which sell groceries and gives you an extra 10% for your produce when you sell it to the stand. This pack came with so much stuff to live off the land so to speak, and so many news skills, and a great world that it is essential if you want to make a living by living off the land. Some great lots for spell casters too.
i look at Get To Work, and Small Businesses and Hobbies as essential packs if you want to own businesses, they are both different types of sales. That can be used in any world. I liked the 3 Get to Work careers as well, with work places you can attend.
LoveStruck is essential if you want turn on and turn off’s. Want special types of dates, want to get a date from cupids corner ( bringing is some other people’s creations ), and it is the cutest Hispanic world. It comes with woohoo blankets, a special woohoo room, a romance game,, change into special clothes suitcase, different types of candy you can buy for your sweetheart, and I believe the singles lot trait. It also has a rabbit hole woohoo
One world I find rather quaint is Copperdale it’s kind of small, lot wise, but it is a cute little mining town. The high school is limited to the one lot ( though you can change it to any high school you want, if a certain size, in that spot.). It has a little amusement park ( unchangeable ), it comes with the photo booths you can use in any world, cheers leading mats, football toss, and……. Beware…. Some Urban legend….. there are a couple part times jobs that teens can do before or after school. It also comes with a new Bubbke Tea and Thrift store ( that you can make and put in any world ).. It has Trendi where you can make specific outfits tat the shop to wear or sell. This is High School years, and has it’s place.
if you want pets like Cats and Dogs and Horse Ranch both have their specialties.
if you want famous sims of any ilk, or actors/actresses Get famous is for you
The pack I was most disappointed in for a long time was University. It is a little more boring than I thought it would be, and the world seems so small, But it did come with 2 universities, some new careers ( lawyer and Teacher to name a couple ), and a thing to build Robots of different kinds, and a debate podium ). It does have chests for college things in the dorm you might need to buy.l ).
Now my biggest disappointment is For Rent ( I have it ), but I wouldn’t recommend buying it until they have fixed corruption issues., and let us know they are fixed.l, and it has been thoroughly tested. I save often especially before changing a Residential Rental lot, some I have downloaded have caused a problem when I tried to change them. I would be careful downloading older ones from the gallery. I have decided to make the rest of mine myself because some others have caused corruption. I use a practice save when I do download a new residential rental now to test it out, seeing if I can bulldoze and change the lot type without problems.
the new Fairies pack has some cute features, but I haven’t tried them out yet.

If you had to choose ONE pack to use, out of all the packs you own, which one would it be?
In my case, it's High School Years, because I like the idea of going to school with my Sims.
I had to think long and hard to come up with this answer because it was a close tie with Get to Work, but the ultimate deciding factor was that you can visit the school without being "At School", so that functionality kind of broke the tie.

I like high school years but the game play don’t even work you can’t go to school, it just bugs out and crashes. You can’t chose your uniform , you can’t play as a teacher or principal and the speaker disappeared years ago and they never brought it back but I been askin for it still …

I like the club system in get together, but I wish we could have a higher limit of clubs. On no aging forever gameplay it’s good to have more variety in the different sims your main family spends time with
