Heh, I only have Seasons, Parenthood and Vampires. Am not really planning to get anything else either because I just don’t have much interest for their premise (maybe when there’s a sale again). These 3 were pretty much tailored for my interests so it was no wonder they made the game much more fun for me whereas I grew bored of the basegame in just one day.
I tend to prefer content which augments the core gameplay without relying on me having to go to specific location to get something out of it.
Seasons has always been my favorite EP through the series, it affects everything and has such a major part to play in immersion and overall enjoyment. I love listening to the weather effects, especially rain, so playing the game with Seasons enabled has this sort of relaxing effect on me.
Parenthood really augments family play and brings more meaning to it. I fairly often play with families because I like to fool around with genetics plus I appreciate a bit of challenge it can add so this was right up my alley. Those "character value cards" (or whatever those pop-ups are called) can get pretty repetitive especially since I play with long life span but it's still a great pack.
Vampires, I have always had a soft spot for them. In TS4 I really appreciate how much they improved the concept. I love how the weaknesses add some much needed challenge and offer plenty of ways to roleplay. I also love the build and cas mode items. I like how it has those cracks, cobwebs, stains, and such to decorate with. Gives me a chance to have households which don't all look like they are straight out of some Ikea catalogue. (Also I’m in love with the CAS/build mode music that came with this pack.)
