- Eco Lifestyle is just meh! Snowy escape could have been way better and that's my vote. Island living is like snowy escape but on tropical theme
- thefirsttemplarRising ScoutThere's so many bad ones. All the ones with animals, eco lifestyle.. They always seem to put the better ideas in game packs that should have been expansions and make expansions out of stuff that should have been game packs.
- g01denswanSeasoned ObserverDefinitely Discover University. I only bought it bundled with a GP and SP for the wall-less shower and toilet stalls.
Island Living is one of my favourites though, but it’s missing some water crafts and water sports that were in my favourite TS3 EP, Island Paradise. - alanmichael1Seasoned Hotshot

High School Years.
I do like the updated animations and the new voice lines for teens and the cas and bb but there is nothing to do at the high school, you get a few tasks like talk to a student and a teacher. Classes consist of watching your sims looking at the teacher talking. No active classes, no goals, you don't need any skills, only a random chance card shows up sometimes and after school activities are just rabbit holes as well as the amusement park which is not an actual lot. They didn't implement anything like what we saw in Get To Work or Discover University where we had things we could craft, unlock, different tasks, active organizations. We can't choose which sims that show up to the high school either.
Everything seems to instead focus around prom with it happening every week, but the actual prom event is too short and the "showing up before prom" and "after party" event consists of your sims just standing still doing nothing. The new social bunny is good for sims to keep being friends without seeing each other but the app also spams random messages.
Apart from that, we get a few new rabbit hole careers and we can create outfits and drink tea at a thrift store which is ...fine but not what I expected for a pack that was supposed to focus on the high school part of our sims lives.
But I also would like to say that I think a more proper word to use than "dislike" is "disappointed" in my case, I was really looking forward to this pack and was very disappointed with it.
HSY gets much better if you build your own school with more activities. I love that pack for the body hair feature ☀️ - GrumpyGlowfishSeasoned NewcomerCity Living, though Cats and Dogs is also among my least favourites, so I don't mind them being packed together for this poll.
EPs should introduce gameplay elements to enhance our sims' lives no matter where they live, but City Living focuses too much on its world. Be it the careers if you play them actively, the new aspiration or the festivals, and of course the apartments – everything requires you to live in or at least frequently visit San Myshuno, you can't even create your own festivals outside of it. That wouldn't be so much of a problem for me if I actually liked the world and its activities, I do love Snowy Escape after all despite it suffering from the same problem. But I'm just not that much into big cities. If this pack was less about the city and more about the apartments, allowing us to build our own wherever we want, that would change my mind. - leucosiaxSeasoned VeteranI find Eco Lifestyle pretty obnoxious. I clicked off it's gameplay in settings but sometimes annoying things still happen like they turn off the electricity or water to some vote. The paper bags over the heads is just ridiculous. I know they are trolling political activist but, come on...
I kind of like the world, and the apartments, but it would be among my less favorite. I think it may be just me and my game, but the things you can do in the game, candlemaking, fabication- doesnt work. Also there was a time where evergreen harbor had no floor in the world- but I fixed that by uninstalling and reinstalling-
not sure if that trauma had anything to do with my opinion. - Island
LivingDying of boredom... - It's not that I don't like these packs I'm going to list, they both offer something useful to the game, but right now my least favorite are
Eco, and Get to work.
Eco because the Sims are stealing or sharing by taking things out of public places like night clubs, bar stools, tables, sofas etc.
Get to work because there are too many Aliens and they go everywhere my Sim does and try to talk to them and I know if you are friendly with them they can abduct you and I don't want my Sim abducted and pregnant.
I installed a mod to take the Aliens out of the game.
*edited to correct typos - keekee53Seasoned NewcomerLiterally both of them.
I keep trying to have a unique experience during University but it is always a grind. I even added places to go on the weekends but still it is just boring. Nothing ever happens.
IL is just boring. Even vacationing there is boring, there is nothing to really do there. At least with snowy escape you can ski, hike, mountain climb, snowboard etc. - charlotteknNew Rookie

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. I bought some of the earlier expansions, but this one seemed actually mean spirited on the part of EA. I'm not sure trolling your customers is a great idea.
