This is to rate expansions and stuff packs. Also, if you're thinking about getting a new expansion you can read others reviews.
Post a list of expansions from 1 to 8, 1 being your favorite.
Post a list of stuff packs from 1 to 10, 1 being your favorite.
If you forget what the expansions are, they are University, Night Life, Open For Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Freetime, and Apartment Life.
If you forget what the stuff packs are, they are Family Fun, Glamour, Celebration, H&M, Teen Style, Kitchen & Bath, Ikea, Mansion & Garden, Happy Holiday, and Festive Holiday. (I am unaware if Happy Holiday and Festive Holiday have any differences)
Love to see what you think! I will post an example below this :giggler:

1. Free Time
2. Apartment Life
3. Nightlife
4. Seasons
5. Open for Business
6. University
7. Pets
8. Bon Voyage

to be honest I NEVER use the last three.

Stuff Packs:

1. Kitchen & Bath
2. Celebration
3. Glamour
4. Ikea
5. Mansion & Garden
6. Teen Style
7. Family Fun
8. H&M
9. Happy Holiday

Again I barely use the last four, except for the clothes in H&M. But H&M is just lots of clothes and basically an AD

Expansion Pack Ratings:
-I don't have Univeristy or Freetime, so I'd like to see your ratings-

1. Seasons- Every Season adds new things. It's so cute and nice to see the whole family playing outside together. Family Aspiration is my favorite :) I love that there are new interactions outside (Playing Marco Polo, raking leaves, playing in the snow, catching butterflies) and also the amazing feature of gardening and fishing. I love adding a hack to give them Summer Vacation too! The weather is cool, and I love the new Country theme. The ice skating and roller rinks are also great.
2. Apartment Life: I feel like this expansion came with so much stuff. I love the furniture it includes, the aspect of apartments is brilliant and I can make so many unique, different buildings. The helicopters and witches are great. Lets not forget how adorable the new toddler "Huggle" interaction is!!!
3. Bon Voyage- I love taking them all on vacation, although it is rather disappointing the little tots can't come! Three Lakes is rather boring, I only take dad and the boys for fishing. I have to add stuff from other expansions to make it good. The Far East, Takemizu Village is nice. Twikkii Island is my FAVORITE! I mean, it has the beach!!! :D I never get bored there. The beach lots are great, and I love the new features this pack adds.
4. Nightlife- This pack is also great. It adds cars and dating, and more options for community lots. Dating is fun and an easy way to get Sims to fall in love and get aspiration points. Cars are a must have for your game. I am not a fan of the vampires though.
5. Open For Business- I love having family businesses in the same family for generations. I like crafting stuff too! The new toys are fun and flower arrangements are pretty! Honestly, I rarely find myself using the Robotery bench though.
6. Pets- This pack adds pets, which I love! But sadly, that's about it...

Stuff Pack Ratings:
-I do not have Ikea, Teen Style, Happy Holiday, or Festive Holiday Stuff-

Family, Mansion, Cele, Glamour, HM, Kitchen/Bath,
1. Celebration- The party stuff adds a ton to my parties, and the dresses and suits are so nice!
2. Glamour- I consider this to almost tie with Celebration. I again, love the dresses!!! But the suits/tuxedos aren't as nice. I like the new bedroom theme it comes with.
3. Mansion & Garden- I always use the plants, decorations, and fountains. I love the Second Empire architecture theme!
4. H&M- I absolutely love some of the clothes that come with this! I usually give a lot of my Sims H&M everyday outfits.
5. Kitchen & Bath- I like the new flooring and matching wall tiles. Also, the new appliances and counters are WAY better than any others that cime with other EPs or the base game.
6. Family Fun- Cute themes. But, the themes are only good for children and that's hardly nothing, so pretty soon after I give them a Family Fun stuff theme, I'm already changing it for when they're teens.

From everyone I talk to, it seems like they either love Freetime or hate it. Same thing wit University. Well, for my birthday I have to choose whether I'm getting Freetime or Univeristy Life Collection. Uni Life Collection comes with University, Ikea Stuff, and Teen Style tuff for only $20! So please keep posting replies.

:up: Thanks for the help! Sounds like I'm most likely going to get University. Which also comes with Ikea and Teen Style Stuff. I'll get Freetime another day :3

Hi I have a question, I have all of the EPs and SPs except for Teen Style. Should I buy Teen Style or is it not worth it? I do like to play teens sometimes was wondering if it's worth it for someone who occasionally plays teen sims.

Hm, well on YouTube you should check out the trailer. Just search "Teen Style Stuff Trailer Sims 2" and watch it. It just comes with more clothing and themes. Like a goth theme and a "sweet girl-type" theme and others. Everyone's opinnions differ, so you should check it out for yourself. Honestly, I think every Sims 2 game is worth it :)
