I voted "Vampires," because it's the one I find myself using the most out of the three GP's I have. I just got Parenthood a couple of days ago, but I haven't quite gotten the hang of the character values system yet. It's a little complicated to figure out how to get the values to go just where you want them to be. It is a good base system for an alignment system for magic users/supers, though...
Dine Out. I can't imagine not having restaurants for my sims to go to. Doesn't matter if it's just a corner pub or fancy 5-star dining. I like it the best and use it the most.
Parenthood since I think things like that adds so much more depth and meaning to the game. Perhaps things that should have been in bg from the start but I don't mind, as long as we get it eventually.
Vampires, definitely. I love that you don't have to waste time on bathroom breaks, and that they don't need that much sleep, I can get a lot more done with those.
I absolutely love how much Parenthood added to the game. Toddler's by themselves were a handful but add in character values and all the little quirks and it just made the whole household more lively.
I haven't gotten beyond child stage yet so I imagine teens will be quite the handful also. I also like how kids and teens have school projects that they can bring home for the whole family to assist with.
The furniture and clothing and hair is just a bonus. All in all it's most definitely my favorite Game Pack I have bought this far. ^_^

I voted for vampires. Love vampires. I'm really into the supernatural stuff. Although I enjoy all the packs in their own little way, switching between different lives, the vampires are the most interesting in terms of game play and the stories you can create with them. Really wish vampires came with vampire-hunters too, oh, the fun, lol.
I really love all of the packs and they work together so well. I feel like the game packs are almost more exciting than the expansions. And mor reasonably priced.
I am a huge Occult fan and Vampires are not only an Occult creature, but this iteration nailed them! I never really played them that much previously because one was far too easy to kill and the other was a bit too hard to kill (and I friggin' hate sparklers - never wanted a true Blade character so badly in game). And it's not just the Vampires themselves. I love Gothic Victorian. Build/Buy is amazing.
I'm hoping they add Witches and Werewolves to compete for the top spot on my list.
Parenthood is a very very close second. This also helped change game play for me. Now I really enjoy family play and can appreciate the different life stages.
Toddlers are also the best in this iteration and Vampire toddlers are definitely my favorite!
i agree, vampires is first, with parenthood close behind. I absolutely love the build/buy things that come with vampires, and cannot stop building and remodeling!
Parenthood as I personally loved the added "personality" traits your kids could acquire because of their parents parenting. Also, just the added interactions between parents and their children made it feel more complex and not just static; if that makes sense.
I understand how OR doesn't have as many gameplay objects as everything else but really it's very underrated, especially it's world. I personally love to take my sims camping and I really like the herbalism skill, I always loved crafting in the sims. With the Seasons EP this pack and it's world looks astounding in any time of the year.
I voted for Parenthood, as that added the most to my gameplay - but I equally love Vampires and Spa Day. Dine Out would be after them, and OR I'm just getting into, never been a huge fan of vacations - or leaving the lot in general lol. JA I don't have yet, but soon!
I was pleasant surprised by Dine Out. I love going out to eat more than running the restaurant, mostly because I would rather be the cook than the manager.
I also really love the customization for Vampires (I hope they do this in future supernatural GPs) and I enjoy Parenthood as well for my legacy.
for me, parenthood added more depth and opportunity to the game than any other game pack. parent-child relationships on the sims 4 were rather basic until the parenting skill was introduced IMO.
Dine out, Parenthood and Spa day are my favorite. In fact, besides Seasons, i prefer them over any of the other expansion packs. At least for my gaming style, they provide a lot of game play.
Parenthood. Being a family player, I felt that this pack really added a lot of life to my game. It makes me enjoy my Sims being parents even more and I like that my Sims can help shape their children into (possibly good or bad) Young Adults.
Vampires comes in a "tie" with Dine-Out and Spa Day.
I use spa day a lot! I love that I can have my Sims learn yoga and the wellness skill and I also really enjoy being able to take my Sims out to the spa for a relaxing day and then they can go out for dinner afterwards. These two packs just add a little something nice for my families to do. I hope we get even more packs in the future that allow us to have even more family activity options.
Vampires because I love occults and I'm just waiting for Witches, Fairies, Mermaids, and Werewolves. I like to mix a little fantasy with realism, from time to time, to give my game some variety.
I think Vampires was very well done; and I loved how it focused on Vampires and was able to really flesh out their features. I am excited to see what they do with Witches in a game-pack. I'm hopeful that they will have some really in-depth content, because I enjoy what they did with the Vampire Pack.

It is buggy but it is also the game pack I use the most.
