What is your least favorite/worst expansion pack?

I went with get famous because it’s my least favorite. Only because I rarely play with fame. I don’t think it’s the worst expansion. I had a lot of playing as an actress and really enjoyed it.

If I had gone with the expansion pack that disappointed me the most. It might be Island Living or snowy escape.

I actually love Island living. But a few things keep it from being a favorite. One of them was already fixed with the snowy escape patch. Not having rentals available with this pack was my biggest gripe with the pack upon release. A few other things that keep it the top of my list. Not being able to use the boat with other sims. A new water activity, something is missing.

Snowy escape is also one I like. But everything is tied to the world. Had we at least gotten a half pipe that was placeable in other worlds that would have helped.

Almost forgot Get to Work. I wish that we could set the cash register to have sims line up and pay. Also wish they had shopping bags. I play the doctor career a lot and I wish your co-workers actually did things. Also that your sim could go to the hospital when sick.

I voted for Eco Lifestyle.

The reason is quite simple: I didn't like its main features (NAP, eco footprint) right from the start but I wanted the small features and the build and buy stuff. That's why I got the pack with a discount. So far I'm fine with it.

I have to say Discover University and Get Famous as I haven't got them and not interested in them.

I'm not getting Discover University because I can recreate the college lifestyle without it.

I'm going to go with university for now, because it is the worst to try to fit into rotational play. I haven't played it to its full potential yet, so it might move up on the list in the long term, but no matter how much I may come to like its features it is still the pack that makes me work the hardest to fit it into my favorite way to play.

It loses progress with my sims when I play rotation.

Get Famous is my least used, so I’d probably go with that. I really like the acting career but I rarely play with celebrities and Del Sol Valley is so disappointing. I like how the world looks but I hate that it’s so small. If it wasn’t I’d probably have sims live there more often.

I would have to say Eco Lifestyle. Aside from the Build/Buy and CAS, I don't use much of that pack. The NAPs are annoying. I mainly keep them turned off.

I also don't use a lot from Get Famous, mostly just the CAS & Build/Buy. I rarely have celebrities and actors even less.

I'm in a small minority, but I stand by this opinion...

City Living missed A LOT of opportunities! The political career, the lack of a singing career (despite bringing back the singing skill), their terrible attempt at apartments, the festivals being extremely boring, the world having very limited space to build, the park being a forced lot type that can't be changed, etc.

My issue with the political career is that they could've done so much more with it! It's a semi-active career, but all you can do is get votes and give speeches. They could've made it more realistic by allowing Sims to choose a political party (like the Llama Party, Plumbob Party, etc). Also, I hate how a politician's spouse can easily feel disgusted or turned off by their political views... it's cringe worthy. Obviously, people in real life can have difference in politics, but generally speaking, a spouse would be supportive if their partner's political ambitions.

The lack of a singing career also makes absolutely NO sense! Why add a singing skill in the first place? Also, City Living and Get Famous could've easily been made as a combined expansion pack because of this alone. The celebrity system could've been brought back with the political, singing, and acting careers... all in ONE pack!

The apartments... WHY can't we build our own!? The fact that they're exclusive to San Myshuno (and then later added in Eco Lifestyle, which ultimately defeats the main selling point of City Living) is ridiculous! Even in Sims 2, though you needed cheats to do so, you could build your own apartments! You could even select certain ones from a big catalog to place in your game... but, in Sims 4, you're restricted to whatever San Myshuno gives you! This was highly disappointing.

The festivals serve no actual purpose (other than getting money from the tech competitions, which easily becomes pointless once your Sims reach a certain point in the game, or getting the multiple types of bubbles in the game). They become boring and repetitive very quickly. Every festival is only worth visiting ONCE... if even that.

Also, I was disappointed with how the bubble blower was implemented into this pack... it's annoying to have in your house and for your Sim to approach it just to have a "what IS it!?" moodlet... I just miss in Sims 3 when the bubbles each had their own flavors, instead of the weird experimental highs this one has.

Also, as a bonus, I absolutely HATE the keyboard in this pack! When I first saw that it was making a return, I was very excited! However, I was disappointed after realizing the keyboard makes weird sci-fi sounds, instead of just regular piano tones (like in real life). Yes, I understand keyboards are often use to create synthesized music, but the game could've at least given us an option to change the tones... this was also a peeve I had in Sims 2: Freetime when the keyboard was introduced into the game.

Overall, City Living, even with Eco Lifestyle as an expansion pack, is my absolute least favorite of them all! I remember thinking Eco Lifestyle would easily take the #1 spot as worst expansion pack, but it's actually decent after giving it a chance. Meanwhile, City Living, in my opinion, has little to no redeeming qualities. I regret spending $40 on this pack.

Looking at them, I use every one and enjoy them all..:but I use cats and dogs the least. I wouldn’t say it was the worst. It’s really good but taxing as I have enough to do with my sim family. It might be different if I could control them
