What packs are your must haves?
I’ve built up my game a fair amount with all three pack types (but still do have a lot of unowned content for sure), and recently have added even more since my new computer has so much more storage th...

Seasons indefinitely.
Since it was introduced in S2 I can't imagine seeing a sims game without weather. That and it brought a lot of gameplay to the game as well. Weather really just affects everything to how your sims daily routine will go. Had my sim take their kids to the park and about two sim hours in a storm had came up thus had to end up leaving because of it. :D And I just love the calendar system where you can just plan events ahead and it even shows a sims birthday on the calendar. Plus, having actual holidays with sims celebrating even NPC's just feel a lot more meaningful. Plus enough for sims of all playable life stages to be included in.
Get Together
I enjoy the nightlife related stuff in sims games, plus sims just having more places to go is always a plus in my book. Nightclubs are always bustling and full with sims dancing it up and hitting the bar and socializing. The club feature I just absolutely love because customization is always where it is at. Really enoyed CAS in this as it ranged from club wear to the town fashion of Windenburg. Plus, still the biggest world to date.
Dine Out~
Again just more places for sims to just get out and about. When this came out I was happy sims had more proper spots to go out on a date to eat out or even go out for family dinners. More than amusing that sims have a chance to get food poisoning after eating at a resturaunt. They end up throwing up a lot and their bladder starts to tank really fast because of it. I can appreciate these little details for things like that. Build/buy is just great with this. Can appreciate being able to customize restaurants to your liking even if you don't own them, especially the clothing worn to their overall menu.
University~
Though like every university pack it's always a grind (more so in S2 than anything), but I do like the set up in choosing how many classes you can take per term as well as an elective. It's definitely a challenge to be juggling some to full classes, while trying to find time for your sim to have fun and have a social life. Ha hits too close to home really. Had my sim start university going from $0 and it was a hassle when student debt just started racking up only was able to get two scholarships and was not enough when I had 4 full classes. CAS is great. Lot of lax and comfortable wear and I love the roommate system. Definitely adds that extra step when you're looking to have your teenager going to college.
Parenthood
Because this game definitely needed more family gameplay to be a lot more meaningful. Children having phases and moods to toddlers even biting you. I like that my younger sims can get school projects sent with them for that extra credit boost and other family members can help them out if desired.
