What's your ranking of the Sims 4 Expansion packs?

1 - Seasons for the weather, calendar and holidays (and how customizable they are).
2 - Eco Lifestyle for the naps (and how they help me customize the neighbourhoods), the dumpster diving, the hobbies and the ability to set our neighbourhoods to green or industrial, creating completelly different vibes.
3 - Discover University for the quantity of degrees and the advance it concedes in jobs.
4 - Get Famous for the fame system that includes any activity.
5 - Island Living for the beach, beach activities, the amazing world and the career.
6 - City Living for the city vibe, the apartments and the politics.
7 - Get to Work for the active careers and retail system.
8 - Get Together for the club system and a lot of party stuff.
9 - Cats and Dogs for the...cats and dogs :lol: i love just to have them around...
10 - Snowy Escape lies in 10th place cause there's nothing really unique besides the mountain excursion...

I like all the packs, but I tried to arrange them in what order I would give them up if I had to. Based on gameplay and worlds as those mean most to me, no CAS or build/buy considered.

1. Get Together - Windenburg & club system
2. Seasons - seeing the seasons change & the calendar
3. Get Famous - fame gameplay!
4. City Living - city apartments & festivals
5. Snowy Escape - Mt. Komorebi activities & lifestyles
6. Island Living - Sulani
7. Cats & Dogs - cats & dogs
8. Get to Work - active careers & retail
9. Eco Lifestyle - lots of little things
10. Discover University - university experience & roommate system

1. Seasons: love the holiday and calendar system plus seasons just adds so much immersion.
2. Cats and dogs: the world, CAS, vet career and of course the adorable cats and dogs.
3. Eco lifestyle: new gameplay never done before, amazing BB, off the grid add ons, added hobbies and again immersion.
4. Discover university: CAS, can go from home, amount of options for degrees, three new work from home careers.
5. Get together: clubs and the world
6. Snowy escape: the world, new fun activities, good BB and CAS.
7. City living: apartments, the world, fun festivals, and I am a sucker for new recipes and this EP has a ton.
8. Get famous: best fame system we’ve ever had, good CAS and I like the reputation system plus enjoyable active career. Low on the list due to not really liking the world and I don’t use fame often even if it’s well done.
9. Island living: beautiful world. Lots of beauty but little substance though. Could have been one of the best packs if it had more gameplay.
10. Get to work: good pack but I don’t use it often. Also worst added world in the game. I do need to use retail more though. It’s not open for business but it’s not a bad system.

I don’t find any pack bad. I like them all really but some I use and get enjoyment out of much more than others.

For me:

1. Island Living - I know it's kind of lacking as a whole but I love all things tropical so I'm biased.
2. Cats and Dogs - I don't really care for pets in the game but the world is one of the best and I love the vet career
3. City Living - nice world but there's not much else there and I don't like most of the apartments, and the penthouses are all way too big.
4. Get to Work - the science career was fun to play through, Sixam is cool and I like how my sims go somewhere to give birth now.
5. Get Famous - I like the acting career.
6. Eco Lifestyle - wasn't expecting to rank this one so high but I enjoy the dumpster and the items that come with it and the port neighborhood is nice.
7. Snowy Escape - ok world and nice furniture but the gameplay is boring and lacklustre and there's basically no substance to the pack. The biggest let down pack for me.
8. Discover University - I enjoyed playing through University but it's very much like Strangerville in that I'll play it once and never touch it again. I never touch the world, or use any of the build buy as it's too heavily themed, the only thing I really use from this pack is the roommate system and the shower.
9. Seasons - good execution and its an essential pack but weather and seasons in a life simulator should be in the base game and I don't agree with how they cut it from the base game and slap a 40 dollar price point on it.
10. Get Together - it's a nice world but other than that everything in this pack should've been in the base game. Clubs aren't a substantial enough thing to center a 40 dollar expansion around, and Windenburg was also designed to be a base game world so it's just another thing stripped out of the base game.

As a whole I don't really care for expansions in this game tbh, they get a 6.5/10 at most for me. They usually feel very lacking and I heavily prefer game packs as I get way more fun from the themes of those.

These are in the order I'd buy them again if I didn't have any, but I also ranked the world, gameplay, and CAS & BB for each EP.

1. Seasons

• CAS & BB: 8/10 Love all the costumes and the fairy pond is fun
  

Mine is:

Get to Work - Retail, 3 active common careers, great build/buy objects that are useful on any community lot, and tons of yummy baking recipes!

Snowy Escape - Skiing, other fun snow sports/activities, a beautiful world, great Asian build/buy objects and CAS, the ability to create rental lots on any world!

Island living - It’s missing some fun water sports/activities and resorts, but still has a beautiful world, great tropical build/buy objects and CAS, an outdoor shower, water crafts and some water sports/activities, sims can get drunk, and an improvement to fishing.

Seasons - Seasonal activities, weather changes, a calendar, an improvement to gardening, decorating homes for Christmas, sims reacting to the weather!

Eco Lifestyle - A different lifestyle, the ability to affect the sim environment, community gardens and other community spaces, less vibrant colours on build/buy objects, floor to ceiling sliding glass doors with matching windows, vertical gardening!

Discover University - A wall-less shower, bathroom stalls, roommates, bicycles, a mini fridge, cafeterias. University has never been a must have for me. I’d rather send sims to a rabbit hole to learn.

Get Together - A club system for grouping sims. The world, most build/buy objects and CAS are not my taste.

City Living - Food stalls, the spices, snow globes and some CAS. Apartments are disappointing since we can’t build them and festivals are boring.

Cats & Dogs - The veterinary career. The world is okay. Pets are not a must have for me.

Get Famous - The bank vault and make-over station. I don’t like the other build/buy objects or CAS, and the fame system is irritating.

1) Snowy Escape: This is has pretty much been my dream pack for a long time and I am really enjoying it. :love:

2) Get Together: The club system is my most used gameplay tool. Plus Windenburg is a lovely world.

3) Get to Work: I love my aliens and I can't live without them! :lol: (Though, honestly, I wish they had gotten their own game pack instead).

4) City Living: This one kind of surprised me how much I like playing in San Myshuno. I use it a lot more than I expected to.

5) Island Living: I love my mermen! And I'm a sucker for a pretty locale.

6) Seasons: I like having weather and seasons in the game and really appreciate the customizable holidays, but it didn't quite live up to my hopes in a few ways which is why it isn't higher up the list.

7) Cats and dogs: I like it, but it gets less used that a lot of packs because only a few of my households have pets.

8) Get Famous: I love the acting career, and I use the CAS and build/buy stuff a lot, but I rarely play with the fame system. I also for the most part, dislike the reputation system and I wish there was a toggle to turn it off when I really don't want it.

9) Discovery University: I always like the idea of sending sims to college, but then the reality of playing it out is kind of monotonous and I don't end up using it much. But I like the Brightchester world and I use the CAS stuff a lot.


I don't own Eco Lifestyle right now, so I can't rank it.

1. Get together
2. Seasons
3. Island living
4. Discover university
5. Get to work
6. Snowy escape
7. City living
8. Eco lifestyle
9. Cats and dogs
10. Get Famous

It's actually a tie between numbers 1 and 2. I consider both essential to my game.

1. Seasons- This pack makes the worlds come alive!

2. Discover University- I love being able to have my sims study at home or at college. Very flexible.

4. Get Together- World is great, and club system is fun.

4. Get Famous- I love the fame and reputation system, but the world is too small

5. Get to Work- Careers are kind of fun for a while, but get a bit repetitive after awhile. Retail system is OK.

6. City Living- San Myshuno is a cool place for my sims to live. Disappointed you can't build apartments.

7. Cats & Dogs- Pets feel boring imo. Not enough different pets. World is nice though.

8. Snowy Escape- Nice world, but gameplay is lacking.

9. Island Living-Again nice world, but little gameplay.
