Which Sims Expansion Pack Really Wasn't Worth It

Just got seasons on sale, and am less than pleased. Not been testing long enough to hit the bugs & such that made for all the past uproars, but so far the game has been DGDC - dark, gloomy, dreary, cold. Including in summer! Last day of spring (corresponding to late May early June) and it was snowing! That doesn't happen even in New England. I hate to think of what it will be like once the officially cold weather hits.

I like "Seasons". So far anyways. You can tweak it in settings. Made the game more realistic instead of it always being an eternal perfect day. That's my opinion. I've actually started building roofs and enclosed areas on my buildings to deal with the bad weather.

I found the get together slightly unnecessary. Personally the items in the pack doesn’t suit my style when it comes to building, so I rarely use any from that pack. Plus I’m not a huge fan of the city that comes with it (I don’t even remember its name).
But it’s individual I guess, the pack just doesn’t suit my personality :)

I only say Island Living because I have no interest in mermaids. The map is nice, though. I just wanted a resort aspect to the pack. The conservation/nature thing is great and all, but it constantly reminds me of the horrible things we are actually doing to our planet.

I think all packs have been worth the pocket change they've cost me.

Windenburg is great, and I love the Sims that come with it. The CAS is great. But basing an ENTIRE expansion pack on clubs? Useless.

I gotta agree with you on that one. Get To Work is my second choice.

Get To Work. I was excited when it first came out. But only having the three active career choices gets a bit old. Also I was never interested in my sims having their own retail business...

It took me forever to actually buy Get to Work because I was just so uninterested in it. I finally bought it during Black Friday because I couldn't add Discover University to a bundle and wow I was right, there is nothing in this game that I use. I tried to do the scientist career and go retail shopping but I can't really get into either.

At the moment Get to Work is the least used pack from my playstyle. I've dabbled in the scientist and doctor careers before though, and enjoyed them both equally so I guess there's that. For me I like to have everything particularly for the B+B assets, and it just gives my Sims more options! I might not use a pack frequently, but it is available for me to utilise when the time is right. Strangerville is a prime example for me because I've not had anyone visit the town yet, nor complete the Mystery.

It was hard to decide between Get Famous and University. I find University very boring (didn't like it in the older Sim parts even).
I rarely use the features that came with Get Famous, as well as the acting career.

I have now chosen Get Famous because I LOVE the bikes that came with University and also the CAS items :).

This was a tie between DU and Island living. I just started playing DU and got bored really quick. I don't like the rabbit holes, I wish we could go to class with our sims, and overall it just felt very empty to me. Island Living has a really beautiful world, but overall it didn't add much. I was really excited for scuba diving, but was really let down when I played it. I was hoping these would be more like the Sims 3 expansions.
