I bought the sims 4 a year or two ago and it came with the pets pack, and that's the only pack I have. I'm getting a bit bored of it, and my broke little self if trying to save some money to buy a new pack. What expansion pack do you guys think is the most fun and has the most content? I'm really looking for something with a fun new world to play in and a lot of new features. I'd love to hear what your favorite expansion pack is!

However, if you want a new world to play in, with a lot of features, I'd say the most balanced one is Get Together. Since Seasons doesn't bring any new worlds, and Get Famous has a new world but it's not that big.
There's also City Living, but... not that many features, although you might enjoy it. It's not a terrible EP but I'd wait for a sale to get it.
Seasons is also great if you want realistic weather, holidays, the cycle of seasons, more challenging and interesting gardening, flower arranging (a very lucrative skill), and bees. It doesn’t have a world though.
Good luck!

In all honesty, I kind of regret getting Seasons and Cats and Dogs because they've made the game so glitchy and Seasons causes a lot of unavoidable negative moodlets.
I would recommend Get Together. It's a really close second for me. The world is beautiful. I like the dancing skills. It made me actually visit Night Clubs and Bars. Most importantly Clubs can be used in a lot of ways.
If you are not in a I would also recommend waiting on a sale. The EPs go on sale often enough for 50% off.
Sulani is amazing, but besides that IL is just a Game Pack at the price of an expansion. GTW, GT, CL, or Seasons are good for a second pack option.
Those of you who have Get to Work: Do you use it much in your general gameplay? I mean, would you miss it if it wasn't there?
Can't decide now!
Get to Work is the pack I would not miss if I did not have. I use the baking skill. I have run a retail shop a few times. But honestly the retail system is the weakest of the sim 4 businesses. I have played through all the active careers. The only one I have played more than once is the Doctor career. I also like to have my pregnant sims give birth at the hospitals for the birth certificate.
But I personal don’t like Aliens, the active careers get repetitive, retail system is half-baked, world is extremely small, and the Photography skills was released in a patch to all simmers.
I think if you like aliens, you would probably also like the scientist career. It might be worth it to you on a sale.

I like GTW a lot. My top two packs, which are really tied for my favour, are Seasons and GT. In all honesty, though, I would really miss any of them and I especially do like the first one, Get to Work, for a host of reasons.
Depending on a given sim’s personality, I have played through all 3 of the active careers several times with different doctors, cops, & scientists, and I like all three of them a lot. I love using the hospital for all my births and I also like playing doctors (for specific sims). I also have quite a few mad scientists and appreciate the weird inventions that come with that skill.
The retail system is not as good as OFB’s, but there are two types of businesses I love to play and have played repeatedly: Bakeries and Art Galleries. The baking skill is fun and many of my holidays require baking as one of the elements. Mannequins are a worthwhile addition too, although I tend to use them most in museums, to show off historical clothing, more than in stores.
Sixam is fun to go to and explore for my scientists and astronauts. I don’t think aliens are quite as developed as those in TS3 (I miss the ability actively to abduct sims and fly saucers), but I have enjoyed playing with them on occasion. I like their mind-reading and mind-analysing abilities, their ability to empathize and feel another’s emotions, to use a probe to cause probe panic, to transmute metals, to resurrect dead alien creatures and to erase a sim’s memories. I also like their customizability, and the fact that their emotions cause them to emit a soft glow in the same colour.
So I would recommend the pack; try to get it on sale though (only because you should get everything EA sells on sale).
