Worst Expansion Pack?

Island Living adds a beautiful world to be sure, but I think it should have been more fully developed, particularly with regard to the mermaids and the diving. One of the features I had most anticipated from the pack was underwater diving, so it stands to reason I was bitterly disappointed in the pack. Other than for taking screenshots, I don't do too much with the world anymore.

This is older, I would change my answer now to Discover University

Why?

@Sigzy05 Mostly, because I didn't enjoy the pack. A pack about university should have, in my opinion, let us follow the Sims to class. I wanted to see them sitting at desks, working at group projects, staying after to ask questions, etc. I couldn't care less about things like dorms, parties, juice pong, robotics... I just want to see sims sitting in a classroom setting. And while I knew it'd be a young adult pack, it would have been nice to have bikes included for kids too. I just found the full thing really boring to play, other than the homework, that was fun but yeah, homework alone isn't worth expansion pack prices for me haha, and I kinda regret buying it full price. My answer was also City Living for ages, but this one surpassed it haha. It just felt really weak, like there wasn't much to it.

It's okay though, just not my thing, the pack that came out before, Island Living, was my all time favourite and I get SOOOO much game play out of it, countless hours haha. And I think this Eco one coming out will be a top one for me too, so having one bad (for me) pack in the middle isn't the end of the world haha!

Get famous for sure, it is broken and I loved the sims superstar and was dissapointed that this one didn't live up to that and the world was nothing special at all.....

Why the heck did this not come with a scuba diving skill...??

Also, I'm surprised to see GtW so far up! I just got that one during this sale and so far I'm really enjoying it. I've only played the scientist career now but it's a lot of fun and I like the potions and stuff you can make. For my next gen I plan to open up my own shop.
That being said I can see how you wouldn't really revisit the careers once you've done them.

The responses for this were all really interesting to read. My vote isn't exactly fair because I don't actually own all the packs, my current computer just can't handle it. But as soon as I upgrade my PC and can start installing more packs I will definitely be taking all these opinions into consideration. For example, I do not think I will be purchasing Get Famous based on what others have said.

I voted for Get Together, which after reading the responses I realise is actually quite a popular pack, a few people said it was their favourite. I love Windenburg, but I haven't really used the groups feature all that much...maybe I just haven't found a good reason to use it? I don't know.
Also, lot's of people don't like Get to Work...but personally I like getting to go to careers with my sims. I wish they had this option for more things. Like I feel like it would be fun if we could choose to go with a sim to high school or something...I mean I don't know how that would work...and might end up being boring I guess, but the idea seems cool to me.

For me it's a tie between Get to Work (buggy), Cats&Dogs (sick pets everywhere) and University (buggy+not imaginative).

To me GTW becomes boring once I played through all careers and the aliens are just not well made....

I put island living because I like my tropical worlds as getaways for my sims living in other places.
Island Living doesn't even give you the option. So I had to use work arounds, but they don't allow my sims to use their vacation time. Sometimes my sims will just leave the island to go to work because I forgot to call off.

I'm actually surprised that so many people hate "Get to Work" and "Get Together," since those two are my favorite EP's.

I'm surprised too.
I've gotten so much usage out of Get Together.
It makes my sim worlds come alive with the sims that matter most to me.

Comedy Club
I have this club and area set up in the upper level of my dance club so comedy shows are an actual thing in my game.
There is also a buffet nearby so sims get dinner and a show.

Romantic Couples Clubs.
I have my sims in relationships have a club just for the two of them and they hangout in community lots that would be perfect for dates. I see them when I am not playing them and their relationships stay strong because they are doing romantic socials.

My sims has a nice house and TV set up for movie night.

Art Club
My art sim is a real art snob. He has a club that has a hangout in the art museum.
They paint pictures and add them to the museum. My cat-burglar cat sim steals them so they never run out of space.

Void Critters Clubs
Child sims hangout in a sort of cybercafe that has arcade games, Void Critters consoles, computers, toys, movies etcs.
It's also a hangout for my cosplayers. Kids can ask the cosplayers to see their cosplay costumes.
They also come here to watch movies.

Cosplayers Clubs.
My teens belong to cosplayer clubs. They hang out at the cybercafe to show off their latest outfit in preparation for GeekCon.
They hit GeekCon as a club too.

Friends of Sulani Club.
I group my favorite Sulani natives in a club that goes around cleaning up Mua Pel'am.
I use Sulani as a vacation destination. My visiting sims joins or forms this club and help clean up the island.

Melonie Bloom's ARC readers club.
Melonie Boom is my Comedian sim and she supplements her career by writing books specializing in comedy.

Writer's have alpha and beta readers.
These are trusted people who get first exposure to their written works for feedback.
They also have a group called ARC Readers (Advanced Review Copies).
As defined: "The expectation of an ARC reader is only to read the book and write a review to post (probably at least to Amazon, possibly Goodreads or other sites) shortly after publication."

I still hold a grudge against City Living being 90% set dressing without actually adding much new gameplay.

Apartments are super limited, festivals are nice but just include base game stuff and you can't make your own and there's really not that much to do that is different than any other world.

I just hate the city backdrops that are just scenery and nothing more.

I guess Island Living is similar, I like the island scenery more at least, but it's a close second.

EDIT: Don't want to double post.

Reading all of the other comments reminded me that, Sims 4 EPs are just not that good and it sucks. I think Seasons and Get Together probably added the most substance, Cats & Dogs too I guess but I don't find the pets too interesting in this game. It seems like for a lot of these the new world takes about 75% of the development resources which doesn't leave much for actual new gameplay, which is why Season feels very packed compared to most other EPs.

GPs just add better value in general imo.

Get Famous. The only "fame" EP I actually loved in The Sims franchise was Super Star. In TS3 at least there was a Genie life state in such pack. I almost never use any gameplay option from the "Get Famous" pack.

I'm surprised too that so many players choose "Get together" as the worst EP. Maybe these people haven't really given a try to the club system. I can use it for most of my saves in one way or another.
My creative sims start clubs for artists, so they have bohemian gatherings in their houses all the time.
My mermaid is a part of the "Children of the ocean" club, so she can swim together with other mermaids.
My vampires meet at Vlad's castle. They can be friendly or romantic with each other, but they should never make fun of themselves.
My wellness-loving sim created a yoga club.
The club system is such a cool instrument that fits almost anywhere! Maybe people are still associating "clubs" with nightclubs and parties?
