Favorite Expansion Pack?

Just a thread to talk about your favorite expansion packs, and why they change the way you play the game.
For me, they'd have to be Nightlife, Seasons, and OFB, because I use the features they introduced the most out of anything in my game, and I honestly cannot remember how I played before Nightlife. (The answer, I fear, is "infrequently.")

I had always believed that each and every pack had something for everyone, even if the general theme left someone feeling cold. There really wasn't an expansion pack in The Sims 2 that I didn't like. This was the best sims game they ever made as far as I'm concerned.
Open for Business comes in a veeeery close second. The ability to go out and own your own business, set your own prices and uniforms, and handpick your employees was great. The system was simple and yet it was so difficult to have a booming business, while in Sims 4 everything is much more complex but you can easily make thousands in a day just having an electronics store filled with flatscreen televisions.
I used to play Malcolm Landgrabb non stop. He'd have an H&M in every subhood, I always kept the electronics store then he'd venture into the clubbing business... Lilith Pleasant always became a manager at H&I'm Bluewater Village and he'd hire all the pre game teenagers, lol.. it was so much fun.. not only expanding his own business but even told build of other sims in the process..
If you've still got a copy of any of those games, especially if you've got the original pamphlet with the registration code, it's worth giving it a go with customer support. (They've been giving out the UC to people who let them know that their discs aren't forwards-compatible with newer computers... which since windows 8 is pretty much every computer.)

Honourable mention to Mansion and Garden Stuff although not a full expansion pack it was content rich for a stuff pack.
Sims 2 didn't have a generations pack, but I'm kind of jealous of Sims 3, because sims 2 was ALWAYS lacking in kids' content (though they at least tried to bring in a playground in Apartment Life...)

Short of a couple random things thrown in here and there like toys made from the toy maker in OFB and whatever EP allowed parents to swing the kids around, yes kids were very left out in ts2. Although getting them into private school was always fun, and oddly hard for some reason
Now it's been a very long time with TS2, I don't remember the EPs all as well as I'd like to. I remember thinking Pets being disappointing compared to Unleashed and Bon Voyage not being too exciting, but don't really remember everything else.
