I haven't played any of the EPs past Get Together, but I never cared for Get to Work. I like the idea but I find the active careers far too repetitive, employees just talk and dance at businesses, and Magnolia Promenade is easily the most disappointing neighborhood. It also still has the most bugs, even after 3 years.
I only picked it because of the bugs I encounter with it, I really wanted to like it (and would if it were ever fixed). Otherwise I like all of the EPs
I had to choose City Living. Although I still like it and play in San Myshuno, the inability to build your own apartments is very disappointing and makes the gameplay very limited. Also, I wish the city was bigger. The backdrops look great but it makes me wish I was able to explore more.
Also, other than some new objects, City Living didn't really provide a lot of expansion to the game if you're playing outside of San Myshuno.
I can't really choose one because I haven't been impressed with any of the them.
I see a lot of Get to Works, but I like the concept for that one the best. The execution failed though. I haven't experienced a lot of the bugs that people talk about, but what annoys me is the fact that Sims left on the lot while you follow your Sim to work aren't productive - the kids haven't done their homework, no one's cooked dinner, etc. No control of Sims while one Sim is gone - anywhere. That's a general problem, but it is enforced by how Get to Work plays out.
Get Together hasn't clicked for me. Maybe Seasons will keep my interest and help change that.
City Living isn't for me because I hate big cities and apartments have never been my thing.
I've never really enjoyed playing any of the 4 Pets versions. I love my pets in rl, but something is lacking for me with pets in the Simsand I can't nail it down. I was hoping that TS4 would change that because TS4 changed my view on toddler play and really got me into Vampires - didn't happen.
Fingers crossed that Seasons is a game changer (for the better) and redeems my faith in EPs. I need something as amazing as Vampires and Parenthood!
I chose thinking of the most unused EP for me not the worst EP.
So Get Together gets my vote.
Windenburg is pretty though I've only had Sims live there once.
Something about the layout just doesn't appeal to me.
The club system is great but I never use it (My Sims aren't allowed friends, outside of family, due to the constant, annoying invitation pop ups).
Maybe it makes the game "more real" for some people. It breaks immersion for me.
Between the bugs and the terribly restrictive careers, it just was not a fun pack at all. Even retail features did not compare in the slightest to TS2's.
I like them all and use aspects of each (except Season since it's still unreleased, obviously) but I think Get to Work is my least favorite just because there are still parts of it that are soooo buggy.
How can so many people hate City Living I like it for the careers.
Most who chose CL are probably builders. I couldn’t even tell you what careers came with CL because I never play them, I just like to build. But, I am glad you enjoy them.

I don’t enjoy any of the eps to be completely honest. Normally I would have voted for GTW but I’m playing the detective career atm and actually having a ton of fun with it. C&D has no play value for me, the pets look amazing, the world is pretty, but beyond that, no game play. I hate that there are so many strays, breaks my heart. I moved to a country where I haven’t seen on stray animal in 7 years and when my sims live in BB I find myself constantly shift clicking every stray to fill up their needs.
Close second is definitely City Living, glorified world pack indeed. I was so excited about it, then we couldn’t build our own apartments and there went every bit of enjoyment.
If I have to choose, it would have to be City Living. The careers don't have any appeal to me, and I can't have my sims live in appartments for very long. Just can't deal with the limitations and annoyances. Festivals are fun to experience once, maybe I'll visit the Flee market once in a while to see what's on offer there. Takes 5 minutes, then I go somewhere else. I hardly ever use the clothes for my sims either, and I will edit any townie I see with those horrid, patterned sweaters or just delete the sim altogether, depending....

I love get to work. I like that my doctor sim actually has a functioning hospital, same for my detective and scientist sims. It makes things more interesting and interactive When I don't feel like loading screens, I just send them work on their own. My only complaint that it doesn't feel like they have enough time to really do everyday as once their shift is over, they are automatically sent back home even they are in the middle of something.
I say Get Together. I use the clubs and all that and the world is already; but overall seemed bland. With City Life, can at least live in a apartment go to festivals (though the same ones over and over do get boring after awhile) and learn tons of new recipes, like the fireworks, etc.... where Get Together, there isn't much to really do. Go to another club or bar where they can't get drunk and do silly things like dance on tables? Meh. I only really use the Club function and that is it. A bit disappointing as I thought it would of had offered more.
I didn't vote because for me, there's no such thing as "Worst EP in the game", maybe there ,s but for me, not really.
First of all, let's compare GTW from CnD - I still did not include seasons cause i haven't really play it (lol, us of us do too ).
Obviously, GTW is the first EP in the game, I think it may be lame, but it's like comparable to a pilot episode of a tv series, it never really showed us any y'know stuff and still hasn't got gave us the true potential of a true expansion pack unlike CnD which it gave me the best satisfaction in the game yet, and the moment I'm writing this, is the still latest EP. EPs have now evolved in the game, more and more features are being added.
Compare Luxury Party Stuff to Laundry Day Stuff, (Obviously, it has a very very big differences (gameplay, build\buy objects, CAS items)
Cause What you know, they haven't still got the true potential of what a stuff pack could be in the sims.
LP stuff is like 🐸🐸🐸🐸 and Laudry Day is like 🐸🐸🐸🐸 cause this is OMG and 🐸🐸🐸🐸!!!
BTW let's stay on topic here, like I said. "There's ain't the worst EP in the game" It's like the first game in any franchise. (The First Sims, The First Final Fantasy, the first GTA, y'know what i mean"
Even though I say Get to Work is my worst, I still like it and enjoy playing its content from time to time.
It's just that it is my least favorite as far as content goes. Once you have done all the careers, it kind of loses its luster and becomes overly repetitive. Coupled with the fact that non-working sims cannot visit those hidden work locations (as they could visit and "tour" the police station, hospital, and science lab in 3) there is not much left to do.
Get Together was going to be my original choice, but I really do love Windenburg and the dancing and the nightclubs. I just don't use the club feature much.
I am hoping that Seasons will become my new favorite, but it is much to early to judge it either way. Until then, Pets is probably my favorite...but mainly because of the awesome seaside neighborhood and its home decor. Absolutely love that!!

Get Together is my second to least, basically because the pack really didn’t expand the game very much beyond what was already there IMO.
Also, other than some new objects, City Living didn't really provide a lot of expansion to the game if you're playing outside of San Myshuno.
