Expansion Packs (and whether to use them or not)
svic:
I have Base, Uni, NL and Seasons only and it works fine.
cwykes:
My experience is that if you don't add Uni, you'll have problems with LTWs. When I had base + OFB (which I liked a lot by the way as it felt more real to me - no vampires, zombies, resurrection, changes in aspiration), I had 6 missing LTWs. When I put seasons on top, I had the 6 LTWs, but couldn't achieve them. There's a thread or two about it in the Podium somewhere. The awesome never ruled definitively on whether this was "as intended", buggy or whether my game was borked, but I did find other people with the same problem, so I pass it on as something to look out for.
Nepheris:
Actually I would leave out NL if I could, but I think I read somewhere it's got some critical stuff that could bork up your game if you install other later EP's without it.
Fact or fiction?
dizzy:
This is EA we're talking about, so these are all undoubtedly error-prone if you leave any EPs or SPs out.
J. M. Pescado:
SPs are leave-out-able because they lack any new codes. All the early EPs add critical core elements to the game and omission appears to result in odd behaviors, though. Uni apparently is required for all the LTWs, NL is needed to have "Downtown", OFB is needed to have subhoods and owned comm lots. Pets and possibly Seasons are more superfluous.
