- rjssim6 years agoSeasoned AceI like all of the currently released expansions with Seasons and Get Together being my two favorites. Sadly, I have to place Eco Lifestyle as my least favorite because the main theme to the expansion really doesn't interest me at all.
- In german Get to work is worst. They went with "An die Arbeit!", what translates "To work!", but always sounds like "Get to work you slacker, get a move on and and no talking!" to me.
Get together became "Zeit für Freunde" ("Time for friends"), stressing the party aspect while glossing over hobby clubs, political factions, gang rivalries and basic npc control. It's a bad title in both languages. - It makes no sense.
- This one was a hard one. But I have to go with Island Living. It doesn't actually expand much gameplay in other parts of gameplay. As bad as Get Famous was (in my opinion) with only one fame career...when older packs in older games had so, so much more to offer (Just look at Superstar and TS3's ShowTime) IL is still worse than Get Famous. I can't even rate Eco Lifestyle worse than IL because if I think about it, it does have some gameplay that would expand the entire game, such as pollution on or off toggle, and trash to treasures, since I enjoy watching Flea Market Flips where they buy something and turn it into something else. If it has that sort of gameplay in all the 'towns' then it does expand gameplay into other parts of the game as a whole. But Get Famous and Island Living don't really expand anything much. We already had Sims working from home, and IL was in my opinion a glorified stuff pack called an EP, not even a glorified GP, because compare it to the island in TS3, and it's boats and deep sea diving and all that and well, then IL takes the cake for worst EP award.
- Discover University by far. I mean, who came up with this title? All the others are ok.
- ck2136 years agoLegendMeh.
I was hoping this spin on University was focusing on sims discovering who they are as well
as the other sims they meet while at Uni.
No extra traits earned and dormies who disappear, never to be seen again, killed all that. - While I do have beef with Discover University and think it should have followed the simplicity of Seasons and just be called University, Eco Lifestyle just irks me. At the very least it could have joined forces with Island Living and been Eco Living.
- SimsBarbie6 years agoSeasoned AceAll the titles that does not have Get in them.

The naming of a lot TS4 EPs has been controversial. What’s in your opinion the worst named TS4 EP? - MDianaSims6 years agoSeasoned AceDiscover University just doesn't fit in with the rest, there are clear naming conventions - it's either "Get ...", "... Living" or "..."
DU could have been "Campus Living" or "University" - the options I can think of in the "Get" variant aren't good.
Unlike DU, I get the reason why Eco Lifestyle is called "Lifestyle" and not "Living", but still, it kind of is a missed opportunity. - atreya336 years agoLegendI don't have any problems with the titles, but I don't really understand why 3 of them have to start with 'get' . A bit more variety for those titles would have been nice.
The only title which I kind of dislike is cats and dogs because it reminds me this pack is literally just about cats and dogs and not pets in general. But the title fits the pack."LeGardePourpre;c-17492632" wrote:

Inspired by @LeGardePourpre I translated the Norwegian version of the titles and found "Get to Work" to be the worst both in original English and by translation haha. The title sounds like a chore!
Here are the translations:- At work
- Fun with the gang
- Life in the city
- Cats and dogs
- The four seasons
- Celebrity factor
- Life in the tropics
- Student life
- Sustainable Life
Thank you both for the translations. The Dutch translations are :- At work
- experience it together
- City living
- dogs and cats
- seasons
- become famous
- Island living
- student living
- ecological living
Most are very close to the original. No indication of packs starting with 'get' but the latest packs sure like to end on 'living' ('leven' in Dutch) . - At Work
