What to Buy?

Seasons adds so much atmosphere to the game. I'd go with that one first.

@Mariefoxprice83 @Chazzzy Thank you for your suggestions! I'm shocked, I didn't know so many people liked Seasons before looking up information on packs.

If I remember rightly Seasons has been one of the most requested packs for both Sims 3 and Sims 4, because it was so popular since Sims 2 included it. I have to admit that it always feels less fun playing a sims game without weather if you have been playing a previous iteration with weather.

Seasons would be my first choice from your list. It is my favourite EP as it makes the game feel so much more alive and dynamic. I also highly recommend Vampires if you like occults and Cats & Dogs. I haven't played DU much yet, but I really like it so far. It has some nice CAS/BB items (I esp. love the bikes) and great storytelling potential. Dine Out is also a good GP, although I prefer taking my sims to restaurants on dates rather than running them.

That is true, it was really fun to play on the Sims 3! I just also like the dressing up aspect of it, bundling my sims up with coats in the cold seems really fun to me.

Get Seasons.

Thanks for your help! I totally forgot until you said that - I have Cats & Dogs as well, but I always forget it's a pack I have since it seems like it was a part of the game from the start. I'm a little on the fence about Vampires, but I might try it out if I have some spending money left! From what people are saying I think I'll get seasons first, then move on to DU in a little bit, though I'm gonna give it a break since I just got Get Famous. This really has helped me out!

I'd get Seasons. You have several worlds already, and this pack revitalize them all :) I love seasons in say Windenburg and Brindleton Bay, to mention some. The entire game gets so detailed and more varied with the changing weather and seasons. You will need a minimum of planning (who wants to throw a garden wedding during a thunder storm?). I think weather and seasons also makes personality and family building more interesting. As the year changes, you will focus differently on activities than before. Like plants growing when in season only. Having a garden gets like a new experience. There is also a nifty calendar to keep track on events, holidays and the weather forecast.

Seasons will always get my vote first. It's a great pack. The only negative in the whole pack, in my opinion, is the lame excuse they have for snow. I've accepted it. I'm not happy about it. I'm not impressed with it. And, yes, even all this time later, it still annoys the fire out of me. But it's one draw back I guess I have to live with. The rest of the pack is pretty great. Customize-able holidays are a major plus, too.
