Which expansion pack should I get next?

I voted for Get Together, because of all those packs, I am still enjoying many aspects of it. I still use the club system for so many things, and not involving going out to party all night - that gets old. I use the club system to keep my sim's extended family connected with a click of a button. I've used it to also have parents not living in the home to come for a visit. I've used it so the children can easily invite all their friends over for a sleepover, and so on. I've had Get Together since the day of release.

I have a number of problems with C&D, but looking at your list of packs and the ones you are considering C&D seems to match your preferences best. At least in the absence of any stated preferences.

I know I'm an outlier here, but I never got into clubs even for non-club gatherings, and while Windenberg is pretty, it's also big, which makes it sometimes feel empty. City Living just felt more like "real life" to me. Even if I don't have my sims live in San Myshuno, I have them pop in regularly for the Romance festival or Geek Con or the Spice festival. With Seasons set to two weeks I even set my "summer break" as Humor and Hijinks to Geek Con (or vice versa, depending on when I start in the schedule. The five festivals occur over the course of two weeks and then repeat.)

As someone who lives just outside a major city that has a few food festivals every year, the idea of popping "into the city" or "downtown" for an evening of food and music just seems normal to me, and it something I like to have my sims do too.

That and I love the eclectic build/buy and CAS elements inspired by various cultures around the world.

I like the other EPs listed in the poll, but I noticed you already have a lot of suburban and rural worlds and activities, so maybe now you need a bit of urban style to mix it up. ;)

I would look at the gameplay in each pack. I usually try to find gameplay videos on a pack I am interested in to see how the gameplay works out. They are all good packs depending on how you want to play. I own all of them and enjoy them each. If you like the country look, Brindleton Bay in Cats & Dogs is beautiful, the vet career is fun, and I can't live without my cats and dogs. That is why I voted for that pack. But again, it depends on how you want to play. Hope you find one you enjoy!

Hmm… do you enjoy playing with different life states? I see that you added ROM, Batuu and Get to Work. Island Living adds mermaids and a really wonderful world.

Cats and dogs are fun and come with a great world as well.

Is there something that you feel is missing in your game?

Good points all. I do like the different "occult" beings, and that's what I find interesting with Island Living. I would probably get that in a bundle with Vampires if I choose that one. That and the waterfront lots, I really miss them from The Sims 2.

Cats and Dogs does seem to be popular, and is currently leading in the poll. I was actually debating getting that the last time I bought one, but went with Seasons instead. I'm always looking for new neighbourhoods. And it meshes nicely with Nifty Knitting, as you can knit animal clothing.

I was looking at the roommate system for Discover University, but haven't seen much other than that to recommend it yet.

I honestly don't know much about the rest, and have been trying to find videos about them, but haven't watched many yet. I know City Living has festivals and apartment buildings, and Get Together has the build items to build the Tudor style buildings I like, but that's about all I know about the packs so far.

I like Discover University for the most part but, I was very disappointed that you can't place a household in the dorm and play with them as a household. You can only play one sim at a time. If rotate, the grades of the one you aren't playing are affected as well as ability to enroll for next term, which is frustrating for me. Videos by game changers are easier to look up and they covered most of the packs. If you search ea game changers gameplay videos with specific game pack name you should be able to find them. And I find Carl's Guide gameplay videos informative as he seems to be very honest about his opinions on the gameplay/packs. He also has guides online you can read through that are very informative about gameplay.

As usual obvs, kinda depends on your play style and what you're looking for. I think all the packs listed have something to recommend them really. Based on what I would probably get, I picked City Living, as, like some others have said, apartments and festivals are things that make the sim world feel a lot more "real" to me, as it's been a big part of my own life. But, that might not be the case for you, and I concur that the Cats & Dogs and Get Together worlds are great additions as well. Personally, I think I use all the game elements from those packs listed from time to time, so I don't think there's a "bad' answer here, just go with what feels right to you!

Windenburg goes perfectly with Henford. Plus, it has fun outdoor parties & sims can have any types of clubs if they want to.
