My favorite would be bridport. I just love the city atmosphere and the nightlife. The apartments too. My next are appaloosa, moonlight, starlight and Islam paradiso.
@yesme88 the nightlife in bridgeport is really nice
I voted for Sunset Valley because it has multiple lots that give the beautiful vista moodlet. Almost voted for Twinbrook.
I like most of these worlds mainly because I have no problem removing venues. clubs, hangouts, firestations, or any other lot I don't plan on using. Also I will customize the remaining lots to get what I want, using combo structures and freeing up some lots to add missing community lots.
@cwaddell I love Sunset Valley, too. I always like customizing worlds if I know I'm gonna be playing it for a long time.
I voted for Moonlight Falls as I love the houses and architecture they used in the town and it is such a pretty world. I love the glow in the town. Lots of lovely empty lots in it to add venues or houses of your own too. I started with SV and to me it was just a town, nothing special. Kinda reminded me of my home town which I was totally thrilled to leave! My second EP that hubby got me was Supernatural and I think I played all the rest of my saves in Moonlight Falls even though I was buying other EP's and adding store world to my game as well. I did finally play in each world.
@bekkasan I've never played Moonlight Falls much. Maybe I should try it again some time...
@Evalen I am only counting expansion worlds in this poll and Riverview was a free downloadable world that you could get if you registered your sims 3 game, therefore I decided not to include it. Riverview is a nice world, though.
@KatyFernlily I did look at this thread before making this poll. That thread isn't a poll and is for all worlds. I wanted to make a thread/poll so we could clearly see the favourite EA made expansion worlds.
I’ve always loved the bayou area in Twinbrook, with its foggy swamps and all the willows and banyans. TB is my ideal location for homeless challenges and it’s perfect for some of my darker supernaturals. It’s also my favorite place for inventor Sims and their steampunk homes.
Sunset Valley is my base.
I like that it is not too big and not too small, I know all lots (this is more comvenient for building, in Riverview I still get lost).
I like the mix of mountain area, plain area, beach area. I like the mix of houses, and the mix of population (young / old, rich / poor, singles/families).
I feel like many premades from other towns are sort of a version to the "original" families from SV, but anyway I wanted to say I like the storylines of the premade households.
I used to live in New Orleans and have spent most of my life around areas that look a lot like Twinbrook, so I'm definitely partial to it. It kinda looks like home to me. One of my longest running saves takes place there. I love the swampy area with its rundown, rustic vibe. I also think a lot of the homes are very nice and only need a few minor changes to be beautiful.

I like Twinbrook very much too and it has a lot in the swamp that gives the highest "beautiful vista" bonus of any lot in an EA town, +50. Unfortunately it is the only lot in town that gives a beautiful vista bonus.

@starguru The swamp/bayou area of Twinbrook seems very popular

@Avatarit I like Sunset Valley too. I have some sims living there at the moment. I never get tired of it

@cwaddell I didn't know that Twinbrook has a lot with the beautiful vista bonus. I'll have to look out for that when I get around to playing it
This one was tough. If this were the store worlds I would've easily had an answer three days ago when I first read this question.
I'd never though about my favorite strictly of the base and expansions. All of these worlds have things that I love and things I have an issue with, usually not enough space. So by that logic Moonlight Falls would've won it since I find I can usually cram what I need in there. But while I also love the supernaturals some of the asthetics could be better to me.
I'm a sucker for the beach town/city vibe with that bright blue, or blueish green type water. It's not a bad thing because it blends in perfectly but I'd forget that there's a beach in Moonlight Falls because it doesn't give off that vibe that automatically attracts me to it. That's where Sunset Valley, Starlight Shores, and Isla Paradiso stand out but I've had trouble fitting everything I want in them. So ultimately I just voted on which one I would love and play in the most if space wasn't an issue and Isla Paradiso won.
Bridgeport, I feel deserves an honorable mention. I hate that we didn't get more city worlds. If it wasn't for lack of space and the water color I'd play it way more.
Moonlight Falls - Townies are cool, places are nice and the atmosphere is awesome. I love how it's common for the air to be foggy and cloudy and the Sun rises later on these days.

No, it really isn't, although I can see why the titles lead you to thinks they are. That is about favorite player-created, custom worlds that people have found and love to play in. This is about Expansion Pack worlds built by EA/Maxis - not even their store worlds (which have their own thread), but towns that are part and parcel of an EP.
Supernatural is the expansion that, watching my niece play over her shoulder one Christmas, sold me on The Sims, and Moonlight Falls is still my favorite town, in spite of that one tricky door at the school/stadium and the somewhat overcast weather. It includes some of my favorite pre-built houses, plus plenty of room for all of my custom lots (dive bar, comic shop, java hut, etc.) that I like to add.
I picked Sunset Valley mainly because it was the first town and the townies are so familiar. I know where spawner locations are, I know who lives where, but I do like some of the others. I haven't played in Isla Paridiso much at all but I do like it. After Sunset Valley, I have to go with Riverview.
I love the EA version for building and using premandes to route test the build though not for playing live mode so much due to routing issues.My favorite versions for live play would be Gibsons and Sunset Valley2 where I've got a legacy and an apovalypse challenge in each one.Sunset Valley2 is my apcoalypse challenge and they're starting on the new year and it's 1526 now.
Moonlight falls reminds me of the type of place I would love to live, with forests and beautiful mountains and people, it's a place I would love to live in.
I spent the weekend ( or some of it at least ) removing all the Showtime stuff from Starlight Shores, so that there are no stages, no proprietors, no nothing left. Now it actually runs beautifully and is a pleasure to play. I'll be using it a lot more often now!
I turned a couple of the venues into clubs, one into the ITF cafeteria with waiters, and the few others into hangouts. I like it much better now.
I love the occult sims, so naturally I adore Moonlight Falls. It’s a really pretty town, their festival grounds are some of my favorites and I adore the idea of a haunted library for some reason.

Appaloosa Plains is probably my second fave.
If Riverview had been included I would have chosen it.
@yesme88 the nightlife in bridgeport is really nice

@3KNPen The run down aesthetic would be great for playing an apocolypse challenge!

@cwaddell Riverview is a great world but like I said above, it was not a world included in an expansion, therefore I did not include it.

@LaneBoy1995 Bridgeport is such a lovely town. I haven't played too much Twinbrook yet but I'm hoping to give it a go soon
@cwaddell I didn't know that Twinbrook has a lot with the beautiful vista bonus. I'll have to look out for that when I get around to playing it
@Zeldaboy180 sadly I don't own Monte Vista, but it does look like a beautiful world.

It's in the swamp - 568 Bayou Gulch Drive 40×40 Aerie Supply
Gives a +50 to a sim out in the yard or in a room with a window whose view is not blocked by any kind of fence.
