What's the worst expansion pack and game pack and why?

I wanted to get island expansion for the mermaids, but doesnt seem worth it for the price, maybe one day I'll get it when it's on sale again

I got the Island pack in the sale.. its a pretty world for sure, and I like the objects you can build and furnish with, but I'm so "meh" about the mermaids, I can't even tell you.

I've been given some money for my birthday, enough for two stuff packs or one expansion or game pack, and I can't choose, so I am interested in this kind of discussion. I have Outdoor (not tried it yet, just downloaded), Island, Laundry, Cats & Dogs, and Get To Work. I do like that last one, and the Laundry Day stuff is nice.

Worst EP is definitely Island Living. Sulani is beautiful but the pack is so lacking in terms of gameplay.

Worst GP is Strangerville. I love the world itself and having the military career is nice, but apart from that, the story driven gameplay is not my cup of tea. Very repetitive and there's not even different routes and choices.

Why are the mermaids so meh? I hear others saying the same. I loved fairies and mermaids of sims 3

They can swim a lot (they need to for hydration) and call over a dolphin.. they can look pretty cool with the colourful tails n stuff..

Strangerville and Spa Day just don't offer that much to the overall game. I couldn't decide which was weakest. Island Living is the weakest of the expansions. I love the world of Sulani but overall the pack is shallow.

It's definitely a good idea to wait until it's on sale. It's worth having, but not for full price.

I’d probably say Cats and Dogs and Dine Out or Outdoor Retreat. The uncontrollable pets bother me. Dine Out seems to get buggier every patch, and Outdoor retreat is just boring, plus Seasons made the aspirations really annoying.

I bought island living full price. Was running out of gameplay options in an hour. I like the mermaids, but other then that..there’s just nothing else I’m very fond of. I thought the world was pretty when I got it but now I just think it’s bland.

I only have the vampire and RoM gamepack, both I like. I don’t have it myself, but spa day sounds very uninteresting.

Yeah I'd not bother with Cats & Dogs if I could have a do-over, same reasons. Good to know Dine Out is buggy, I seem to remember it had issues in it's TS2 version.

I have almost all dlc, besides of RoM, DU and Strangerville. I don't regret buying any pack, all the packs i own have something that i like. That being said, my least favourite expansion packs are Get Famous and Get together. Can't pick one of them over the other. GF because i don't like the fame system. GT because i never really use the clubs, but the world is actually great. From the gamepacks i own i have to pick OR. It is for me the weakest, and more after Jungle Adventures. Anyway, customazing it is a good solution for a somehow boring vacation world. I've added a pool venue, a spa and a restaurant to give my sims more to do and lately im enjoying it.
