Hello all,
So here are the EPs I don't own yet and my dilemma :
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
So here are the EPs I don't own yet and my dilemma :
- Supernatural : I'm not a huge fan of occult sims tbh. I have LN and vampires are okay I guess but I already know I won't like werewolves for sure from what I've seen in gameplay videos on youtube, but I might like witches and fairies? I don't know. I guess the question is : are there other features that make it worth buying? Also is the EP buggy?
- Pets : I don't like pets in RL and in-game lol Taking care of them takes too much time that I don't have. So same question as above : are there features other than pet related stuff that make it worth buying?
- Island Paradise : the only reason I haven't bought this EP is because I'm afraid it might break my game. But I did see that there's fixes, do they actually work?
- Into The Future : I don't even know what this EP is about so any info would be great
- Showtime : I just don't see what it brings to the table when you already have LN. I mean sure there's the new careers but I know I'm not gonna use Simport (?) so is there even a point? Does the EP come with anything other than those new careers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Pets is literally pets as far as I know so if you are not into that I don't think this should be your first pick. I also don't use pet stuff and this pack only serves as a large stuff pack for me.
Isla Paradiso itself is a buggy world but you can install other custom worlds that has its features and enjoy the pack this way (That's what I did). I never managed to fix Isla Paradiso to a state where it is actually playable, no matter how much I tried. Even if nothing works out, again it can serve as a big stuff pack, and I really like the resort feature of the game which you can use in any world.
With Into the Future you can travel to the Future World. It is a nice looking world with nice looking lots so I enjoy staying there occasionally. You can change the future between 3 states (Distopian, Utopian, Normal) with each having some unique stuff to do. If you want modern looking objects in your game this EP is also cool with that. It has almost every object in a futuristic way. Like it has an easel that produces holographic paintings, holographic pets, holographic plants, sonic showers, holographic TV etc. Has some cool looking transport options like jetpacks, hoverboards, flying cars. You can have glass roofs (Not a full blown fleshed out feature, it is done with objects). You can place anything that requires it to be on a soil inside with soil rugs. These include plants, rocks, trees etc. Plumbots are easily the most fleshed out occult in the entire game, with their own traits and lots of customization options. That is what I remember about ITF from the top of my head. I like this pack because I like Sci-Fi stuff and I enjoy the gameplay and some occasional references to stuff like Back to the Future and Doctor Who. You said you didn't know that much about this pack so I went a little overboard with some details, hopefully this should be good enough.
Showtime I guess can also be fun with its new world, and some of the objects like karaoke machine, dominoes and other stuff? I honestly don't like this pack that much but it is fun if you are playing with its features for the first time. Also it has genies which I enjoy.
I would probably pick Supernatural because for me it is the most fleshed out pack in this list. Pets is also equally fleshed out but I just don't like Pets, and they can cause some routing issues in problematic worlds. If I were to pick I would first pick Supernatural, then Into the Future, then Island Paradise, then Pets, then Showtime.
You can even live on an island in SV
An example these really are simple
This I just made in SV a few days ago
Can lay on beach towels and put up umbrella and read everywhere
Build sandcastles play in the sand
Can be a mermaid even in SV
Pool bars can be used any pool even your house
Pool slides used anywhere you want
All in one bathrooms are just a must a one square sized shower toilet opens up soooo many tiny living home options.
Plus IP has great clothes and hair and the spawners also can be used anywhere so if you want to check SVs beaches for seashells to collect you can.
I see why others say SN and it is great but you seem to say you prefer realism.
@berginon thanks for the breakdown, that helped a lot!
@CravenLestat That does look beautiful
@Lief Noted!
AAHHHH this is hard, I'm kinda leaning towards IP as of now but we'll see!
I second that vote to get both.
Must be some kind of mental block

Regarding IP, do you guys have worlds that include its features and are actually playable? I've seen some but they usually include EPs I don't have (usually Pets & Showtime) as well as store items.
...and yes, I know. I have worlds to complete too.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
I even got the expansion when they had the peashooter from Plants Vs. Zombies - that was a hoot! lol
Even thought the occult wasn't as fleshed out as the vampires are in ts4, 3 had more occults! Fairies, zombies, and werewolves were so fun!

Moonlight Falls is such a beautiful World with many lots to choose & build on. Plus the game won't freeze up.
@izecson What do you mean by "granular"?
