Whats your favorite Sims 3 Expansion Pack and why?
Mine is Generations, it makes me feel so much closer to my sims, watching them grow from a baby to an elder and experiencing milestones with them.

Then of course, get Ambitions!
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I'm a newish player, and UL is the only EP I have so far. I quite like it. So if it's not the best one to pick first, it's still pretty good.
Incidentally, I seem to recall reading that UL allows you to add apartment blocks to your hometown, a la Late Night. Is that correct? If so, I might make Ambitions rather than Late Night my next choice, because that's one of the reasons I want Late Night.
I love supernaturals so Supernatural is the winner for me.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
1. Generations - have to have the kids growing up and taking over the continuity of the family.
2. World Adventures - can't live without the tiberium rocks...
3. Pets - dogs...all purpose; teach 'em to hunt and they'll find high-value gemstones and ore that can be either cut or smelted into their respective simoleon make ventures.
4. Seasons - can't do without the weather.
5. Supernatural - all the other different gemstones that one can find.
6. Coming in last but not least...is Ambitions. I like playing with explosives (Sims 3 Det Packs). What else is new? That's when I'm not hurling meteors at my Sims.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
Just from reading about it, that world is one of the main reasons Late Night is high on my list of EPs to get soon.
Anything involving gameplay with family and friends being revolved around the player is fine by me. That usually means that there will be more than a few stuff to do. My favorites are:
Late Night: I love the city, so having my sims drive down in the busy streets of Bridgeport to hangout at a club's hotspot by themselves or with their gang, is super fun to look forward to, and not to mention having to be wary of vampires wanting to suck your sim's blood😈. And of course, I love having the option on whether I'd like if my sim were a celebrity (except for the invasive paparazzi).
Supernatural: Every time when I think I don't need this pack, I immediately regret my decision and begin downloading the disk. The creatures I miss playing, but still hardly play are fairies and werewolves. I think I prefer having my supernaturals fairly populated, although, it would be nice to have a world filled with mortals. My favorite supernatural is a vampire. I don't know, the whole glowing skin effect, craving of blood, being sensitive to the fun (unless using sunscreen), feasting, and other attributes is what makes them feel complete. I could be wrong, but I don't think being a vampire varies by sim age? Unless, I'd assume, a tot? Anyways, I love the ability to change the moon cycle and how that'll change the world. There's almost nothing I don't like about it, except, I guess the zombies. They are bothersome, but they do add a nice touch.
Generations: The one main thing I love about this pack are the digital cameras. When I saw this, I was impressed with how it maneuvered and your sims. To be able to move your sim around like someone who'd actually be filming, is pretty neat, but to then be able to stock that file and watch it on the bigger screen is pretty cool in itself. Added content for my sim babies include the strollers, see-saws, tree houses, costume chest, the imaginary friend (even though it's daunting), sleeping bags, and the slip n' slide (for the family). Another thing I like about this pack are various activities your sim teen could do: teen parties - being able to invite over your friends for a wild night while your parents/guardians are out vacationing, whether or not your sim would like to have a prom, having after-school activities, being grounded from missing curfew, snubbing someone...I'm sure there's more, but I haven't noticed anything different.
Seasons: I love how, depending on the temperature, can determine the fate of your sims. If it's too low then your sim will either freeze, but still live. However, if it's too hot, your sim will be the cause of spontaneous combustion. Unless you're using Celsius, it's pretty rare. The festivals are everything! My favorite things to participate in are apple cobbling, eating contests, eating snow cones, ordering something from the booth, paying for or auditioning for a kiss, playing group games, getting your face painted...I mean, pretty much everything, really. I think the main two seasons I love are winter and fall just because of their settings. I love summer too, but it only has fair play.
University: I'm usually focused on having my sims pass their classes, unless they have a bad reputation. I enjoy the parties like the previous gen. The juicing, pong playing, loud music thumping, 🐸🐸🐸🐸 college students, and slumped over guests, makes it entertaining enough for me to indulge. I love the clique hangout spots as well as the bowling alley. It's pretty convenient and chill setting. I practically have that and their community pool as my going away parties. Whenever attending the rabbit holes, I like that you can sleep faster if they lacked it from staying up too late and being able to get extra credit if you're behind. You can also try and convince someone to share cheats with them, but if they're not willing than you can cheat yourself (I don't believe there's success to cheating in all of your class session(s)).
My favorite Sims 3 pack has to be seasons though. It fully changed the game for me.
Honorable mention: Ambitions 'cause that was fun!
My main saved games must have all the above, otherwise something is missing.
