      I can't tell you which one to get because I don't know your style of playing, but I can tell to you stay away from Katy Perry Sweet Treats. I don't like the stuff that came with it AT ALL but I had all the other EPs and SPs so I just HAD to get it. I wish I hadn't wasted my money. That's only my opinion of course.

      I really enjoy the World Adventures EP, but after you've completed the same quests over and over and over again, it gets a little old.

      No stuff packs. Get an expansion. If I were you, I would wait for University Life. I think that will be a great EP.

      I really enjoy Late Night, but thas just me.. The clothes, objects, and instruments are awesome. I also love the film career.

      Really, though, you should wait for Uni. It's going to kick all kinds of butt. :D

      I would suggest World Adventures or Pets...but like others have said, it really depends on your playing style. I personally love World Adventures since the day it came out! It just adds so much to the game...and so does pets :)

      Pets or Late Night. But if your buying pets make sure your graphics are up to date or else you'll find yourself with rather strange looking creatures

      SPs aren't worth it in my opinion, I've never bought one for any sims game. I have World Adventures, Late Night and Pets and I'd recommend Late Night, if you like city living for your sims. It's my favorite EP. I love my sims living in an urban area, having them in bands and club/bar hopping. Designing clubs and bars is probably my favorite thing to do in the sims. All of my sim families live in Bridgeport (the world that comes with it), at least for a while if not forever. And with one of the patches you can now turn of the celebrity system that comes with it if you don't like it.

      But you know if you really like pets then get that, and if you want quests and stuff get WA...no one can really give you much advise as only you know your own gameplay style! WA tends to be glitchy though just so you know and my sims can't even go to the vacation worlds anymore it's totally broken in my game, no idea what happened.

      It really truly depends on what you want in your game right now. It sounds like you'll eventually get them all.

      Pets- Adds a little bit more of a family aspect, especially if you grew up with/have always had pets. The horses are fun, and the puppies are ADORABLE. I really love pets. If anything it's for the town. But do make sure that your graphics card is up to date. And if you go to the pets forum, there should be a sticky thread about which cards work the best, and which have the "no fluff" issue. But I have the no fluff issue, and it really doesn't bother me. They just don't have defined hairs.

      World Adventures- This would be good if you get your sims out of the house a lot. The towns are beautifully made and the adventures are pretty fun. But once you unlock all of a tomb, it doesn't reset for that save file :/ Which sucks, but it's not too horrible. I'd just designate one or two sims as your main adventurers.

      Late Night- Bridgeport is a fun town if you like playing single sims. There isn't much room for large families though. The celebrity system can get annoying, but with Supernatural you can make it so that sims who don't start as celebrities, don't become celebrities. I love the instruments. Having a band is pretty fun, but you can't have a singer join. Which sucks. I was really hoping they would have blended those two features together when Showtime was released.

      So all in all:
      Pets- families.
      World Adventure- exploring.
      Late Night- single sims or musicians.

      And with the stuff packs, if you want to pick one up, go ahead. I'd do something like EP SP EP SP and so on.

      If your getting University; then I'd probably say Pets for February. However, you could save your money for June and get Island Paradise since it looks like a lot of fun, as does University. :mrgreen:

      Okay, out of the four EPs you listed, I'd go with either Outdoor Living or Diesel; I don't have Diesel yet but I've heard it has some cute clothes. Outdoor Living has some really nice items, and with a lot more emphasis on outdoor activities with Island Paradise it might really come in handy.

      I'd say Outdoor Living Stuff is the best overall stuff pack.

      If you mainly want more clothes for male young adults and adults, then go for Diesel.
