What Would You Choose

Tough one. Two of my three favorite elements are in EPs -- pets and weather. I suppose I'd have to prioritize Seasons over Pets, so......

EP: Seasons
GP: Vampires
SP: Paranormal
Kit: Blooming Rooms

Aagh! Way too hard! I love too many game packs! Can I sacrifice the EP for two GPs instead? Lol. No...really. can I?

Oh okay I guess I'll give it a shot. But my answer is subject to change on the daily, lol.

EP - Golly that's tough. I haven't played Growing Together enough to really know if the preferences make Sims more dynamic, which is something I've really wanted since release. I guess that's terms for elimination. So now I have to really decide. Windenburg and club system, Brindleton Bay and my cats, or Island Living and Mermaids? Ooh, that's tough. Well, since I can't have other Occults in more GPs, I think I have to go with Island Living. I do play with Sulani a lot and really like the Mermaids, so they'll have to be the Nemesis of my ...

GP - Vampires. I could never abandon my dark darlings. ? But if I have to choose just this one Gp, then I want my vicious vamps back; they must be able to break into Sim homes and feed off them autonomously.

SP - As much as I want to say Paranormal, I feel like I would really miss my Halloween stuff and costumes from Spooky Stuff. Before we got Occults, I used to use the costumes in Spooky to make my own. And now I don't have Get Famous so I need something. Plus, I really love throwing spooky parties and playing the Spooky station, which also helps to summon Sim Ghosts. So I think I need this one.

Kit - Fashion Street. The clothes are so beautiful and striking, I love using them for Elves, Genies, and other fantasy Sims.

Ouch. That was painful. I'm still waffling over the EP because Windenburg is so wonderful and rather perfect for Vampires. And I do like the club system a lot. But man, the real pain is losing my Werewolves, Spellcasters, Jungle Adventures, Batuu and Strangerville. Just rip my heart out and feed it to the geometric seagulls. ?

EP: This one is hardest for me, there are so many that I love. But if I can narrow it down to two, Get together for the clubs and cafés, and Growing together for the consequences (being fired, demoted), milestones and randomness of gameplay..
GP: Parenthood (hands down with no competition).
SP: Laundry day (in tough competition with toddler and kids stuff)
Kit: Book nook kit (that one was easy)

EP: Get Together
GP: Realm of Magic
SP: Backyard Stuff
Kit: Little Capmers Kit

This was hard to choose.

EP: Growing Together for the social compatibility and the self discovery system.
GP: Vampires, my favorite occult. They make great adversaries. Apart from that, I find the Vampires GP to be the most realized GP from a storyteller's perspective.
SP: Paranormal. It almost feels like a game pack. Lots of content.
Kit: Desert Luxe. Great furniture.

I can't imagine playing sims without all my favourite packs. My answer would probably change each time. For now I would pick these:

EP: Cottage Living
GP: Realm of Magic
SP: Laundry Day
Kit: I only have the free kit, and I've lost track of the latest ones. I might go with Max decor just for the wallpaper and wall panels.

There's always that one person. ?

No problem @AncientMuse. I expected some wouldn't be able to keep it to four.

Edited to change three to four.

Five! :D There's no way I could do it either. I love all the packs that I have, they do a pretty good job of giving me the well rounded game I prefer.

EP: Seasons
GP: Dream Home Decorator
SP: Moschino
Kit: Book Nook

This was tough! I use content from all my packs and kits.

EP: Cats & Dogs
GP: Spa Day
SP: Tiny Living
Kit: Courtyard Oasis

@musteni interesting perspective. I think most tend to select their favorites.

I selected Cats and Dogs, not because it's my favorite, but because it allows me to have my Bordie Collie in game. She crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago.

I have many favourites, just tried to make some sort of selection criteria because it's REALLY hard to choose :) I know picking Horse Ranch at this point is a wild card. I was also toying with the Snowy Escape + Vampires idea, I think that would be a nice combo. EP choice is tough, though for me Seasons is not a competitor because the lack of the world. From GPs it's really between Vampires & Werewolves for me. I love almost all GPs, just need an occult and Weres have a much better world.

Looking at the replies first of all I'm surprised how popular Cat & Dogs is, it's one of my least favourite EPs. Also I thought Little Campers would be the obvious choice from kits since it comes with some gameplay items and my understanding is some of them work even without the packs where they originally came with.
