I like growing together because it made infants and toddlers playable as sims. I mean, before the release, I couldn't wait for them to age to children, because they really weren't playable.
Dine out and cats and dogs because they add new ownable businesses. They are unique and customizable. GTW retail business is lacking, because it's not exactly compatible with packs that allow the player to make craftable items like candles, knitting objects, food items, and jewelry. It makes more sense to use sales tables and plopsy.
cottage living and horse ranch because I love the animals and the rustic style of the packs.
snowy escape and island living because they add outdoor activities
