I didn't realize how many features I thought were base game are actually from an expansion. Thank you so much for your hard work on this

City Living adding singing skill and karaoke makes it a big deal for me.

I think with get together you can do so much it's just as powerful as businesses and hobbies.
You can use the club system for family gatherings, so they know each other automatically. You can use it to get all kids together, download a school and add learning activities, so you can pretend they go to school.
You can create cults and so on. The possibilities are endless, you just have to be creative.
Just like with business and hobbies.

You have the perfect voice for voiceovers. Very clear and nice to listen to.

It's crazy to hear how many pros you had for Life&Death. It truly built on gameplay and our elders. I hope EA does a refresh for their oldest packs. I often forget we got aliens with Get to Work.

You sound just like one of the Sims 4 gameplay trailer narrators! 😱

Great list! Get Together, Get to Work, Seasons, For Rent and Business & Hobbies are probably my top 5

This is really helpful. I was just looking at the discounted expansion packs and thought which one I should get if I at all since I have most of the older ones already. I decided to skip lovestruck. Even with discount I was unsure about it and your video helped me decide. I agree with seasons being one. I feel like the problem with sims 4 expansion packs is that most of them feel very niche. I either played with them once or I only play with them when I want a very specific gameplay. Seasons affects all my household, while cottage living which I also really love, I only play with when I want that specific farm life gameplay.

Enjoyed this video! Always interesting to see what packs are ranked higher based off of gameplay style. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this Vi ❤

@wintergirl1223 10 months ago

This was very helpful! I haven't purchased an expansion pack since Growing Together so I was very much out of the loop.
