stuff packs are all about the same tbh.
I really think none of them is up to my standards to be honest (apart from Get Together) so this was a hard list to make
1. Get Together
2. Seasons
3. City living
4. Cats and Dogs
5. Get Famous
6. Get to Work
7. Island Living (I can't rank IL higher because it doesn't have the content en EP should have, if it would, it would be on my TOP 3 no doubt)
Game Packs:
1. Parenthood
2. Jungle Adventure
3. Outdoor Retreat
4. Dine Out
5. Spa Day
6. Vampires
7. StrangerVille
If it was based only on quality, Vampires would score way higher but I rarely play with them.
Stuff Packs:
Too many to sort out, so I'll just say:
Laundry Day, Kids Room, and Toddler are my top 3.
Luxury Party and Spooky are at the very bottom and My First Pet doesn't exist for me.
All my creations are CC free.
1. Island Living
2. Seasons
3. Get Together
4. Get to Work
5. Cats & Dogs
6. City Living
7. Get Famous (I don't own it)
Game:
1. Outdoor Retreat

6. Jungle Adventure
7. Dine Out

2. Romantic Garden

4. Cool Kitchen
5. Kids Room
6. Movie Hangout
7. Perfect Patio
8. Vintage Glamour
9. Luxury Party
10. Toddler (Recently acquired, have not used it much yet)
11. Bowling Night (Recently acquired, only used CAS so far)
12. Spooky Stuff
13. Fitness (I don't own it)
14. My first Pet (I don't own it)
This was incredibly tough to do. I like/love and use build/buy, CAS and gameplay elements from all the packs that I own. I just ranked them by which ones I use those things from the packs more than others. Seasons should actually probably be ranked first in EPs as it's the most game changing in my opinion. But I'm in love with Island Living, it's my favorite right now and I can see it being my favorite for a long, long time.

7) Luxury Party
8) Spooky
1. Island Living (I love the world and also the new tanning feature)
2. Seasons (I really like it, but I rank it lower than Island Living because I found it very lacking for the summer season, which is my favorite season, while Island Living is all about summer)
3. Cats & Dogs
4. City Living
5. Get Together
6. Get Famous
7. Get to Work (nothing against it, but it's the pack that I play with the least, also the new world was very small with only 4 lots and looks pretty much the same as Willow Creek)
Game Packs:
1. Spa Day (I love the Build/Buy catalogue)
2. Dine Out (for restaurants and also for the Build/Buy catalogue)
3. Parenthood
4. Jungle Adventures
5. Vampires (not a fan of supernaturals, but it ranks higher than Strangerville and Outfoor Retreat because I like the new objects, especially the wall cracks and cobwebs)
6. Strangerville (not a fan of story-based gameplay, I prefer to play my own story, but I like some of the new items)
7. Outdoor Retreat (not a fan of camping and I'm not a big fan of the new items either)
Stuff Packs:
1. Laundry Day (very much needed, since I always include a laundry room in every house I build)
2. Perfect Patio (for hot tubs)
3. Fitness (I love the new stone wallpaper and the new clothes)
4. Cool Kitchen (I like the new appliances and the new sink)
5. Vintage Glamour (I don't like the objects so much, but I like the butler NPC)
6. Backyard
7. Movie Hangout
8. Romantic Garden
9. Luxury Party
10. Bowling Night
11. Toddler
12. My First Pet (it was a very controversial pack, but I like the hamsters and the new blinds, especially the blinds which I use a lot in my builds)
13. Kids Room (I don't play much with kids and the new gameplay objects don't interest me too much)
14. Spooky (very useless for me, I only bought it because I'm a collector and I like to have every pack)
Seasons
Cats and Dogs
City Living
Get Together
Get Famous/Island Living
Get to Work
GPs:
Parenthood
Spa Day
Dine Out (it would be first it it worked)
Strangerville
Vampires
Jungle Adventures
Outdoor Retreat
SPs:
Vintage Glamour
Romantic Garden
Movie Hangout
and the rest are kind of just fodder.
I will say if I ranked GPs and EPs together a lot of the game packs would be ranked higher than EPs. I feel like the team does a better job when they focus on one specific game feature than with expansions that feel like the fall flat a lot.
EPs:
Seasons
Get Together
Cats and Dogs
Get to Work
Get Famous
City Living*
*City Living gets credit for adding Lot Traits, but since all the same traits now get added to the game with several other different packs, its best addition to the game is lost, and the rest of it isn't enough to compete. Especially since Seasons breaks some of its other best features.
GPs:
Parenthood
Jungle Adventure
Vampires
Spa Day
SPs:
Laundry Day
Movie Hangout
Toddler
My First Pet
Maybe one day I'll be able to afford all the stuff I don't have.
This EA account is shared between two longtime roommates. The one most likely to be writing here is me, the taller of the roommates, whose opinions do not always represent the opinions of the shorter roommate.
EPs:
1.Cats and Dogs
2.City Living
3.Island Living
4.Get Famous
GPs:
1.Vampires
SPs:
1.Bowling Night
1) Seasons
2) Get Together (once I figured out just how versatile it is)
3) Get Famous (this was a big surprise given that I've never cared for the concept, but the famous for anything spin and being able to freeze fame got my attention and I like using it)
4) Cats & Dogs (this may climb up in rank after RoM because my Witches will have familiars and I'll be using it much more)
5) Island Living (this would have ranked high as a GP because I enjoy it, but don't feel that it has enough to be considered an EP)
6) Get to Work
7) City Living (the only things I like about this pack are the convenience of apts when you need extra funds for travel (ex. archaeologist) and don't want items in inventory to jack up the bills and introducing the work from home careers so modders could make it possible for careers like Writer, Painter, etc could become work from home careers)
GPs:
1) Vampires (my favorite pack - hopefully RoM will knock it out of top spot, but it will be close)
2) Parenthood (right, and I do mean right behind Vampires)
3) Jungle Adventure
4) Spa Day / Dine Out
5) Outdoor Retreat
6) Strangerville
SPs:
1) Kids' Room / Vintage Glamour / Toddler
2) Holiday Celebration / Spooky / Laundry Day (since Seasons, the Holiday packs are used in every save in my game and deserve recognition)
3) Cool Kitchen / Movie Hangout / Fitness
4) Backyard / Bowling Night
5) My First Pet
6) Perfect Patio (since IL, I actually use items from this one)
7) Luxury Party
8) Romantic Garden (I use 1 hair - if there would have been "dark" swatches, I would have used the shrubs)
Cats&Dogs
Parenthood
Cool Kitchen
Least Favorite:
Get Famous
Vampires
Fitness
GP: love Jungle Adventure, Vampires is pretty good. Dine Out is good when they can get it working, but it’s been one of the buggiest game packs they’ve released.
SP: laundry and perfect patio stuff. Out of the 6 million stuff packs on sale, these two IMO have the best stuff. Gameplay aside, because idc about gameplay in stuff packs, the actual stuff is really nicely designed and attractive. Stuff packs are a total rip off, and that’s why they come with the best looking stuff.
1. City Living (I love apartments, and still wish we could build our own)
2. Get Together (Great architectural stuff)
3. Get Famous (Best EP for gameplay. I like the fame system even though Judith Ward is EVERYWHERE)
(I don't own Island Living yet, but I think I would put it at #4)
4. Cats & Dogs (Brindleton Bay!)
5. Get to Work (Good Build/Buy)
6. Seasons (the windows are great, so great, but I wish we could customize seasons)
GP - Wow, I love most of the Game Packs. It was hard picking the top 4
1. Vampires (Probably my favorite pack of all. Love creepy and dark. Can't wait for Realm of Magic...)
2. Parenthood (Dynamic additions to family gameplay)
3. Strangerville (Quirky, creepy, BEAUTIFUL world)
4. Jungle Adventure (Awesome ancient Build/Buy, including debug)
5. Outdoor Retreat (Herbalism!)
6. Spa Day (Teleportation!)
7. Dine Out (Buggy)
SP
1. Vintage Glamour
2. Laundry
3 & 4. Bowling Night & Movie Hangout (Can't choose between Midcentury modern and Bohemian Build/Buy styles)
5. Fitness (I don't care for the exercise equipment, but the tables and chairs are beautiful)
6. Romantic Garden
7. Cool Kitchen
8. Perfect Patio
9. Spooky
10. Luxury Party
11. Kid's Room
12. Toddler
13. Backyard
14. My First Pet (We're all obligated to rank this last, right?)
Seasons -I can't live without it, it's by far my favorite
City Living -I love the apartments, festivals, and the selling table so my homeless sims can sell their goods
Get Together -This pack just has so much stuff! I love stuff, love the town, the build options, it was my 3rd pack I bought
Island Living -It's a little lacking in some areas but I love so much of what it brings. The island is the most stunning of all the locations, the vibe of the neighbors, new items like the fishing basket, fire pit, clothing, new fish, harvestables, the new build items, etc
Get to work -I like it but don't play it very often. I tend to work on story lines and generations more than individual sims
Cats and Dogs -I love pets and the world that comes with it is nice, but It's probably my second least favorite just because I don't play with pets often. Love them in real life but not as much in the game I guess. I do love the Vet Career though~ The day you can officially live on the lot you open a business on is the day I probably do it again
Get Famous -haven't played much of it. I don't like the fame meter much but it's expected, need more scars tho
GP:
Jungle Adventure -It's not as good as the original ones from World Adventures but I still really like it.
Parenthood -I play families alot so this was a must for me
Spa Day -I love this pack. It has the wellness skill, yoga, sauna, very nice build items
Outdoor Retreat -I love the stuff that comes with this but the vacation place is meh. I use the tents and cooler when I play a homeless sim
Dine out -I do love building kitchens but haven't played this yet
Strangerville (don't own yet)
Vampires (Don't own yet)
Stuff:
Laundry Day -This is a must for me. I love having the clothes line and washing machines~
Movie Hangout -This is my second favorite. I adore all the cute items that came with it. The hanging lights sold me but the couch is adorable too
Backyard -Has a lot of little outdoor things that just make my house look better lol. Wind chimes, bird feeder, cute clothing, and I love the candle that comes with it. I seem to use it for alot of builds, especially on Sulani
Toddlers - More toddler stuff since the main game gives you dust for anything under teens.
Kids Room - same
Fitness - Same lol
Vintage Glamour - I really liked this pack. You get a butler (but you can't have kids with them while they're your butler which is a drag) the nice clothing and build stuff. Rich people~
Luxury Party - More fancy stuff for my rich people
Cool Kitchen - It comes with a few decent features but probably not enough for me to pay full price for
Don't own the following
Perfect Patio
Bowling Night
Romantic Garden
The above three are my next buys. I want a hot tub even though they don't give you alot of options on hot tub designs -_- i'm not crazy about much in the romantic garden either but I could use a few things in my builds
Spooky Stuff - I don't see the point in this pack so the likelihood of it being bought is slim. My best case is me moving my sims into a haunted house. Honestly should have been free in a holiday pack
My first Pet - I really just want hamsters and the round coffee table out of this
Backyard in my opinion is the best stuffpacks since it added 4 gameplay objects one of which is the waterslide aka slip and slide.
