1. Seasons
2. Cats & Dogs
3. City Living
4. Get to Work
5. Get Famous
6. Get Together
7. Island Living (Not Played Yet)

Game:

1. Vampires
2. Parenthood
3. Dine Out (Bugs kill me tho 😪)
4. Spa Day
5. Jungle Adventure
6. Strangerville
7. Outdoor Retreat

Stuff:
1. Vintage Glamour
2. Laundry Day
3. Perfect Patio
4. Backyard
5. Cool Kitchen
6. Toddlers
7. Movie Hangout
8. Bowling Night
9. Fitness

    EP
    1. City Living (I love apartments, and still wish we could build our own)
    2. Get Together (Great architectural stuff)
    3. Get Famous (Best EP for gameplay. I like the fame system even though Judith Ward is EVERYWHERE)
    (I don't own Island Living yet, but I think I would put it at #4)
    4. Cats & Dogs (Brindleton Bay!)
    5. Get to Work (Good Build/Buy)
    6. Seasons (the windows are great, so great, but I wish we could customize seasons)

    GP - Wow, I love most of the Game Packs. It was hard picking the top 4
    1. Vampires (Probably my favorite pack of all. Love creepy and dark. Can't wait for Realm of Magic...)
    2. Parenthood (Dynamic additions to family gameplay)
    3. Strangerville (Quirky, creepy, BEAUTIFUL world)
    4. Jungle Adventure (Awesome ancient Build/Buy, including debug)
    5. Outdoor Retreat (Herbalism!)
    6. Spa Day (Teleportation!)
    7. Dine Out (Buggy)

    SP
    1. Vintage Glamour
    2. Laundry
    3 & 4. Bowling Night & Movie Hangout (Can't choose between Midcentury modern and Bohemian Build/Buy styles)
    5. Fitness (I don't care for the exercise equipment, but the tables and chairs are beautiful)
    6. Romantic Garden
    7. Cool Kitchen
    8. Perfect Patio
    9. Spooky
    10. Luxury Party
    11. Kid's Room
    12. Toddler
    13. Backyard
    14. My First Pet (We're all obligated to rank this last, right?)
  • EPS:

    Seasons -I can't live without it, it's by far my favorite
    City Living -I love the apartments, festivals, and the selling table so my homeless sims can sell their goods ;)
    Get Together -This pack just has so much stuff! I love stuff, love the town, the build options, it was my 3rd pack I bought
    Island Living -It's a little lacking in some areas but I love so much of what it brings. The island is the most stunning of all the locations, the vibe of the neighbors, new items like the fishing basket, fire pit, clothing, new fish, harvestables, the new build items, etc
    Get to work -I like it but don't play it very often. I tend to work on story lines and generations more than individual sims
    Cats and Dogs -I love pets and the world that comes with it is nice, but It's probably my second least favorite just because I don't play with pets often. Love them in real life but not as much in the game I guess. I do love the Vet Career though~ The day you can officially live on the lot you open a business on is the day I probably do it again
    Get Famous -haven't played much of it. I don't like the fame meter much but it's expected, need more scars tho

    GP:

    Jungle Adventure -It's not as good as the original ones from World Adventures but I still really like it.
    Parenthood -I play families alot so this was a must for me
    Spa Day -I love this pack. It has the wellness skill, yoga, sauna, very nice build items
    Outdoor Retreat -I love the stuff that comes with this but the vacation place is meh. I use the tents and cooler when I play a homeless sim
    Dine out -I do love building kitchens but haven't played this yet
    Strangerville (don't own yet)
    Vampires (Don't own yet)


    Stuff:

    Laundry Day -This is a must for me. I love having the clothes line and washing machines~
    Movie Hangout -This is my second favorite. I adore all the cute items that came with it. The hanging lights sold me but the couch is adorable too
    Backyard -Has a lot of little outdoor things that just make my house look better lol. Wind chimes, bird feeder, cute clothing, and I love the candle that comes with it. I seem to use it for alot of builds, especially on Sulani
    Toddlers - More toddler stuff since the main game gives you dust for anything under teens.
    Kids Room - same
    Fitness - Same lol
    Vintage Glamour - I really liked this pack. You get a butler (but you can't have kids with them while they're your butler which is a drag) the nice clothing and build stuff. Rich people~
    Luxury Party - More fancy stuff for my rich people
    Cool Kitchen - It comes with a few decent features but probably not enough for me to pay full price for

    Don't own the following

    Perfect Patio
    Bowling Night
    Romantic Garden
    The above three are my next buys. I want a hot tub even though they don't give you alot of options on hot tub designs -_- i'm not crazy about much in the romantic garden either but I could use a few things in my builds

    Spooky Stuff - I don't see the point in this pack so the likelihood of it being bought is slim. My best case is me moving my sims into a haunted house. Honestly should have been free in a holiday pack
    My first Pet - I really just want hamsters and the round coffee table out of this

    Expansion:

    1: Seasons of course
    2: Get Together because Windenburg reminds me of my French region (Alsace)
    3: Cats and Dogs even though I never have animals in my families
    4: Get to Work
    5: City Living
    6: Get Famous. I have it but not played yet
    7: Island Living. Not played yet and too expensive

    Game:

    1: Vampires because I love the gothic, mystic atmosphere
    2: Parenthood
    3: Dine out. Too difficult to gain profits from restaurants
    4: Outdoor Retreat
    5: Jungle Adventure. Love Selvadora but
    boring
    6: Spa Day seems boring
    7: Strangerville. Don't like the concept of it

    Stuff:

    All useless except Vintage Glamour (totally my style of furnitures and clothes despite the lack of content) and Laundry Day


    Backyard in my opinion is the best stuffpacks since it added 4 gameplay objects one of which is the waterslide aka slip and slide.

    Bowling NIght is a fun sp as it lets sims bowl.

    Spooky Stuff is a favorite of mine but everyone don't like the Halloween Theme. It does add 3 new recipes though and also the Buy Build items in Spooky Stuff also go well with the ones in the Vampire's GP if your looking to create a haunted house.

    I got Patio Stuff for the hottubs.

  • Just going to put one for category because I'm actually going to list the ones I find less annoying

    EP: Cat's and Dogs... It's the only one I really use, and while I like seasons a lot, there are too many things I find annoying from it.

    GP: vampires and strangerville.. if you exclude the Build and buy and cas, these are the only two GP I really use. I used to go out in restaurants a lot before they were broken.

    SP: romantic garden (the stuff blends well with the vampires ones) and Bowling night.
  • I don't have many yet.

    I own two expansion packs. My favorite is Get to Work. I also have and like Get Together.

    I own three game packs. I like all of them but would rank them Parenthood, Dine Out, and Outdoor Retreat.

    I would like it even better if bugs were fixed in Get to Work and Dine Out.
