Sims 2 Open for Business. I spent an inordinate amount of time building and running stores and restaurants. It was part of the reason I wanted to go culinary school so that I could run my own restaurant one day IRL.
I also love the Sims 3 Supernatural. It was my first Sims 3 EP and the only one I had for a while. I’ve always loved magic and occult subjects and I was endlessly entertained.
I never played Sims 1 or 2. My daughter & I never heard about any Sims games until she spotted the Sims 3 Diesel Stuff in EB Games Store.
So all I can say is that I really liked Sims 3 for all it's varieties, Color Wheel, Textures, Heartshape Bed, Bunkbeds, Hot Tubs, Playable Babies, Shorter Teens, Motorbikes, Cars, Time Travels & Many Family Members.
My daughter & I like Sims 4 for the better graphics, installing Extension/Game Pack/Stuff games in any order & No Game Freezing up.
Generations changed my whole game (sims 3). Really awesome.
As a side note, ive come to really enjoy some ep's that ive avoided for a long time. When i was younger i always had to read a lot of reviews because i could only afford a few ones... so, ive avoided for examplw world adventures cause it had the tomb exploration, that is something that im not exactly looking for in Sims. Recently i have been buying some packs for sims 3 and im really enjoying WA!! Its so much than tomb exploration. All my saves/generations travel at least once. They learn new recipes, enjoy new skills related to each vacarion world, the worlds are so beautifull!!
[quote="BethanyShone;d-922060"]Out of all the expansions for ALL of the Sims games which was your favourite?
(bearing in mind I was 11/12 when I got this one) I loved The Sims 2 Nightlife just because of the amount of stuff that one added. Me and my school friend both had it and we would often go round to each others houses just to play Sims. We used to love playing as a vampire and would always try and find one to bite our sims. Cars were also introduced and I loved the dance tiles and sphere thing that would spin when your sim was inside? Ah it was so good.
I also loved The Sims 3 Island Paradise because it was so different and the world was beautiful. I'm also a huge fan of snorkelling in real life and so I thought it was amazing when this was added to the game. [/quote] My least favorite expansion so far had zombies in it and I couldn’t turn them off and i have very vivid nightmares with zombies in them and just the cartoon version off them scare me 😳 absolutely less favorite so far
- Every single The Sims (2000) EP.
- Every single The Sims 2 EP.
- The Sims 3: World Adventures / Ambitions / Nightlife / Generations / Supernatural / Seasons / Island Paradise.
- The Sims 4: Get Together / Seasons
My favorite in general is always Pets and Seasons. Those two things provide everyday life experience to me and with seasons, great pets, and great Sims bring the game more to life for me. So I'll just put those aside, lol.
Of all the rest of the pack in all the Sims games I'd say Supernatural with Sims 3. We got numerous supernaturals which I love, and the world was is one of my favorites and one of the ones I could more easily place extra lots in.
Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]
Of the three, I'd say Supernatural was tops, just because they introduced THREE supernatural types, but Makin' Magic was lots of fun, for many of the same reasons other people mention: dragons, roller coasters, things you had to do to trade for magic ingredients... it was just fun. It was pretty obviously themed after Harry Potter, but that was part of what made it so fun.
Realm of Magic fleshes out spell casters in a way that none of the other versions did, so I am really loving it as well.
I say nothing for Sims 2, because one of the reasons that iteration of the Sims was always disappointing to me is that they never implemented magic. No, I don't count what they did in Apartment Life; that was very obviously tacked on at the end as an afterthought, and was pretty worthless.
TS2 Bon Voyage and TS4 Seasons without a doubt. But City Living and the TS4 vacation GPS are pretty high up there as well. I’ve always loved destination worlds and TS4 Seasons brought so much life back to the game that it’s absolutely one of the best packs imo.
All the sims 1 package EP'S are for me the most memorable and best, because EA was not a cash machine back then. When you play this game you can experience a certain creativity and passion the developers/designers had back then.
sims 1 superstar/making magic in particular.
Superstar because it was so ahead of it's time back then. The build and buy mode objects very modern en could be easily found in 2020. Becoming a star was hard and the money you can earn as a star is INSANE. Also, I loved the songs your sims could sing, Glabe Glarn is my all time favorite memory of the sims 1.
Then, making magic. This magic EP, is the best of all Magic EP'S sims ever had. There was a lot to do, and again, it was hard gathering all the items for spells. The spells were also very creative and ea really put their heart in this game. Spinning your own golden thread, making butter with the butter churn, kissing a frog who turns in a prince, climbing a beanstalk to find giant Will Wright in the skies, Sending your clone sim to work, nock on the door to get maid Bonehilda to work, Increase your cooking skill to be capable of getting more charges for a spell, Playing minigolf at the circus styled magic lot, grow crystals on your home lot to perform magic tricks, AND LET YOUR CHILD GROW UP WITH A SPEL!
Sims 1: I only ever played the basegame
Sims 2: I played the UC, which means it's not quite clear what came with what EP, but I loved travelling to Twikii Island and haging out there (beach, restaurant, ruins).
Sims 3: Seriously, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts but if I have to choose: World Adventures.
Sims 4: Haven't played them all but I think I'll go for Get Together.
Out of all 3 iterations of Sims, it would have to be between S3 World Adventures, S3 Ambitions, or S3 Generations. Each of them added a lot of content and they're the ones I most often get the most out of

A timer would be a useful tool.

See a theme there?
