Just got seasons on sale, and am less than pleased. Not been testing long enough to hit the bugs & such that made for all the past uproars, but so far the game has been DGDC - dark, gloomy, dreary, cold. Including in summer! Last day of spring (corresponding to late May early June) and it was snowing! That doesn't happen even in New England. I hate to think of what it will be like once the officially cold weather hits.
DU, it doesn’t work properly, isn’t worth the effort even if it did, and added almost nothing worth mentioning to the rest of the game for those of us not interested in watching lobster and spoiled food pile up while our Sim stands in front of the rabbit hole it should have disappeared into.
It was a tie between Island Living and Cats and Dogs.
Sulani is very pretty, but that's pretty much what it is - beautiful scenery with minimum gameplay value. Once you have seen everything, there is very little left to do there.
Cats and dogs just irritate me for most part. They either keep running away for no reason or whine for attention, all day and everyday. Having your pets neutered has no point, because they still get the heats, which makes them whine even more. I love cats (I have a cat IRL, she is nothing like the ones in game), but I feel tempted to get rid of all the cats my sims have, brcause I just can't take the noise anymore.
Cats and Dogs was just done very badly to me - I loved pets in the Sims 2 and 3. Dogs are just a pain and I can barely stand to play in Brindleton Bay even though it is a beautiful town because I get so tired of seeing animals sick all the time.
If it were a GP then sure, amazing GP. As an EP, very poorly executed, very buggy, big lack of polish and detail. It's only worth comes from the world and the swimming animations and that's it. Only two boats and neither can have more than one sim...what a sham. It's thousand years inferior to Island Paradise.
By far the worst EP in all sims history. This and City Living just aren't worth full price, not an opinion, just a 🐸🐸🐸🐸 fact.
I can't recommend against any pack, since I think all the expansion packs are worth it if they suit your style of game play. CL is probably my least favourite of the packs I own, but that's because I don't use the apartments and never visit the festivals. (I got it half-off for the BB, knowing full well I wasn't interested in the big features of the pack, so I wouldn't say it wasn't worth the money.) IL, which seems to be the least favourite, was more than worth it to me - I was expecting a lot of boring YF fun in the sun, but the ecology and culture focus gave it legs.
To me City Living, Seasons, and Get Together are my most used expansions. For me Get Famous is least useful - it's appears to be a nice implementation of the game system, but I so rarely want to play with fame or famous sims, so I just don't really use it. It's not so much a terrible pack as the expansion that is furthest from my gameplay imperatives.
Welp! I read the title a little too quick and voted wrong! I thought it said which pack was most worth it.
I'd honestly say Island Living. The world is probably the only good in that expansion pack. Everything was just so underwhelming. Especially the mermaids...

I like "Seasons". So far anyways. You can tweak it in settings. Made the game more realistic instead of it always being an eternal perfect day. That's my opinion. I've actually started building roofs and enclosed areas on my buildings to deal with the bad weather.
I found the get together slightly unnecessary. Personally the items in the pack doesn’t suit my style when it comes to building, so I rarely use any from that pack. Plus I’m not a huge fan of the city that comes with it (I don’t even remember its name). But it’s individual I guess, the pack just doesn’t suit my personality :)
I only say Island Living because I have no interest in mermaids. The map is nice, though. I just wanted a resort aspect to the pack. The conservation/nature thing is great and all, but it constantly reminds me of the horrible things we are actually doing to our planet.

Get To Work. I was excited when it first came out. But only having the three active career choices gets a bit old. Also I was never interested in my sims having their own retail business...
It took me forever to actually buy Get to Work because I was just so uninterested in it. I finally bought it during Black Friday because I couldn't add Discover University to a bundle and wow I was right, there is nothing in this game that I use. I tried to do the scientist career and go retail shopping but I can't really get into either.
At the moment Get to Work is the least used pack from my playstyle. I've dabbled in the scientist and doctor careers before though, and enjoyed them both equally so I guess there's that. For me I like to have everything particularly for the B+B assets, and it just gives my Sims more options! I might not use a pack frequently, but it is available for me to utilise when the time is right. Strangerville is a prime example for me because I've not had anyone visit the town yet, nor complete the Mystery.
It was hard to decide between Get Famous and University. I find University very boring (didn't like it in the older Sim parts even).
I rarely use the features that came with Get Famous, as well as the acting career.
I have now chosen Get Famous because I LOVE the bikes that came with University and also the CAS items .
Sul Sul!

This was a tie between DU and Island living. I just started playing DU and got bored really quick. I don't like the rabbit holes, I wish we could go to class with our sims, and overall it just felt very empty to me. Island Living has a really beautiful world, but overall it didn't add much. I was really excited for scuba diving, but was really let down when I played it. I was hoping these would be more like the Sims 3 expansions.

like sure i use b/b and cas loads but in gameplay i hardly use it

I gotta agree with you on that one. Get To Work is my second choice.

Everybody thought Discover University would be exactly the same as Sims 3 University, which is why they're disappointed.
