So on steam there is a sale for sims 3 and I would like to purchase some EP or perhaps SP. The current ones I have are Ambitions, Latenight, Generations, Seasons, University life, High end loft stuff.
I wanna buy maybe two more packs.
Which EP or SP did you guys enjoy mostly and why did you like it?
Thanks

Oh thank you for letting me know.
World Adventures adds all sorts of things that you can do without having to visit other worlds. But you can visit other worlds if you want to. If you get NRAAS Traveler mod you can have sims in one game living in multiple worlds and visit them.

Actually even if your base game is on Origin its worth it to buy a sims 3 Plus pack(ie:Sims 3 plus pets) because youll get the base game on steam allowing you to buy the ep/sps at a great discount then just get the cdkeys from the sims 3 game page in steam for all your packs and register them on thesims3.com which will put them into your Origin inventory as well.
The base game is only $2.50 when bought as a plus pack and when you redeem the key it gives you 1000 Simpoints.
No offense but Island Paradise is actually great. There are some relatively minor things that you can do to eliminate the lag. If you take just a little time and look in the old Sims 3 forum (which is still accessible) you will find the aforementioned fixes. You've got some interesting townies, some real fun jobs (lifeguard and scuba diver) and some great scenery. I mean who doesn't want to be a lifeguard on the beach and have all those ladies "fake" drowning to get your attention. LOL.
― Mark Twain
The first time I played the lifeguard career in Isla Paradiso my Sim (the lifeguard) had to choose between saving a ghost or an ordinary Sim. They were both drowning at the same time. I went for the ordinary Sim because the ghost had already died from drowning and once they are dead they are dead - right? Well my Sim saved the drowning Sim and the ghost got itself out of the water and beat my sim up for not saving it.

I always find it so difficult to decide! Each EP has many different features to enjoy and frustrations to endure. Are there things you especially like (or dislike) about the packs you already have?
I agree. I don't know what to get next Island Paradise or a stuff pack? I read that Island Paradise is fun. Does anyone have Into The Future expansion pack? Is it good? I'm going to eventually get it. I was just curious on what's it like.
Unless you're not interested in any of IP's features, I would always recommend an EP over an SP (I do really like Diesel though!).
Running a resort can be a fun diversion if you're into that sort of thing, and there are plenty of beautiful new CAS and build/buy items to enjoy.
Boats bring a real sense of freedom to all worlds, though in my experience can cause routing problems in at least Barnacle Bay, Al Simhara, and Twinbrook, and maybe others.
I bought ITF on release, but I've hardly touched it. I do use the kitchen counters in almost every build and I quickly made one simbot early on, but that's about it!
I'm currently doing a legacy where I play through and sort of review one EP per generation. I'm just about to start ITF, which means I'm almost on the ITF generation, and I'm actually looking forward to stepping into the unknown and seeing what time travelling, bot building, and the legacy statues are all about.
Edit: What's great about Diesel stuff?
It has lots and lots and lots of clothes. Male clothes too, mostly male clothes actually.
Ultimate cc-list
My top 5
As with EPs, it really depends on your preferences. Some people even like the Katy Perry one! What do you think of FLS and MSS?
As for @GITTE says, it's the clothes that really make Diesel stand out for a lot of simmers. The jean selection is particularly good I think. But I'm also a big fan of the furniture. It's not a particularly large selection, but I love every piece. There are some cool dining chairs that aren't like anything else in the game, and the pack also contains my favourite bed and sofa. There are a couple of nice lights, too. There are some weird stencils on some of the furniture, which for some people ruins the pack, but the one on the bed at least can easily be removed in-game with this mod.
I'm not sure after that. I do like MSS for the underwear and bed, but you already have that one. Outdoor Living Stuff maybe for the patio furniture. High End Loft Stuff is somewhere near the bottom of my personal list - it just seemed a little empty to me, and I found some of the ultramodern furniture kind of ugly, although I do love the corner bath.
If you browse through LGR's youtube channel, he has short reviews of each of the stuff packs, where you'll be able to see for yourself what each one comes with and decide how much you'd like it.
I think I'm going to get Island Paradise next. I was looking over at the features for Island Paradise. They got some good stuff. Running or staying at a resort, riding a boat, and going scuba diving sounds like fun. It's interesting how they have fish, sharks, mermaid, and Kraken. I can't wait to get it.
How's Master Suite Stuff? Is it good?
