Not one good expansion pack?

I just don't know but for some reason till now not one expansion pack of the 2 hooked me up to explore it and whatnot (yes I bought GTW and GT) and found myself rather using more stuff from gamepacks and stuff packs. I just feel like for some reason the expansion packs are rather lacking in either quality, content, or quantity. Here is an example, Nightlife in The Sims 2 had restaurants, clubs, cars etc.... Get Together has clubs....that's pretty much it. Also, as you can see they are making a specific pack for restaurants when it was included in Nightlife with many other features. Why didn't they just include restaurants in Get Together? The pack was already small and they needed something to make it stand out more but NOPE!
This is just my 2 cents.

I'm still waiting for the packs that will interest me. I was hoping this iteration would make more (3 expansion teams to make them good!) but they seem to cut the teams to one and now we get less- is how I interrupt the slow going/release.
Maybe one day we'll all get the pack/s which will hook us to this game. I'm playing TS2/TS3 until then.
I can't see them without a hospital where they go to have their babies. I can't see them without a possible abduction. I can't see them without Sixam. I cant see them without the island.
I can't see them without dancing skill and music. I can't see them without a deli. Or an art gallery. Or a book store.
I have NO regrets with these packs. I honestly can't see the game without either of them. They add that much for me.
Agreed. EA has gotten much cheaper and slower with their expansions.

Yup. That's my opinion as well. Although GTW has a bit more than GT imo.
GP's and even some SP's are better than the EP's.
Yes GTW included a lot of content but that content didn't have any quality imo

As soon as I put my hands on restaurants I be like "GT bye!". Cafes and the expresso machines are great but....they aren't restaurants. Just one more reason to not need GT.
Again, I didn't say I didn't enjoy them (I said something along the lines of I don't play with them a lot compared to stuff packs and game packs), but you can say that I enjoyed The Sims 2 and 3 expansion packs WAY MORE. In The Sims 4 they just seem rather lacking.

Nah your not actually, what I said is so similar to what you said so it can be easily confused with

Get Together is still bigger than some EP's from Sims 2/3 that were considered fan favourites (OFB/Generations/FreeTime/ApartmentLife) and Get To Work is literally huge, but can feel small to those who only use certain aspects to it.
GTW also feels smaller without a full sized world attached but has more new gameplay than Ambitions or Showtime.

Like yoga or going to the spa, or camping, I love those things!
I am sorry but I am just done, literally done.

I love the disguised Aliens. It's my absolute favorite thing in GTW, which I'm still really enjoying otherwise - I've only finished one active career (Scientist was a lot of fun) and just started another. They're a little linear so I might not replay them, but it's a lot of play hours to do them all even once, at least the way I play.
GT is a true game-changer - I can't imagine playing without it. I've been populating whole worlds for years. Now when I do that I can also add who hangs with whom, doing what, in the background. There's a sense in which I feel like it's given me Create-a-World, but for people instead of places. Everything happening around my Sims just popped that much more to life. The only things that make the club system non-perfect for me are not being able to schedule times clubs meet and not being able to turn off *only* club icons in headline effects.
I'm like this, except my things go like this.
I can't imagine playing without:
- clubs tool, clubs tool, clubs tool
- Windenburg!!!!
- active careers
Seems like a short list but they are ultra integral to how I play my game. Likewise, zero regrets with either pack.
I also love rockets, every detail of the scientist career, and the Simray.
I did a 9 month engineering internship in aerospace composite manufacturing and I swear the scientist career captures the general feels of that experience to the letter, lol.
