Expansion Packs (and whether to use them or not)
DrKeith:
Great, thanks for the tips. I'm getting OFB this Sunday, and I already have Nightlife installed. Uni sounds boring to me, so I'll give that a skip. I'll get Seasons down the line, too, probably, if I am sure that my system specs are adequate. I'll be sure to install the two patches for OFB, and assume everything will be fine!
Quinctia:
I've been running Uni/NL/Seasons for ages. I'm one of those people who likes Uni and sends all the sims there, without fail (though I speed the time spent there up a bit). With MATY hacks and proper care not to do anything to break the game, I'm running fine. Though I'm still on the hoods from my first install, and I never had a huge problem running just NL (aside from a MATY wants/fears hack that wouldn't play nice), so I may be an anomaly.
I've been debating OfB for MONTHS, basically just for the roofs. And maybe the toy bench. I just don't know if it's worth the resources for the small amount I'd use it.

If I'm right that leaving out Uni, leaves you 6 LTWs short:
a) you'll find it annoying that all the LTWs are career related except for family sims.
b) when you add seasons, you'll have unachievable wants which is worse.
If it all works fine for you, please report back so I stop misleading people....
cenoura:
Leaving out NL gives some unforfillable wants such as "slow dance". Also I guess the whole dating thing is left out(?) which I like to have the option for in my game when a sim doesn't have any other hope of getting out of red aspiration.
DrKeith:
Okay, I'll report back on that, then. I can buy Seasons for R50 (South African currency), and another R50 for University, so maybe I'll add all of 'em. OFB is a must though, and I imagine that I'll play at least a month or so with this pack. I'm leaving for Taiwan on the first of February, so I'm not sure how much I'll be playing, but I'll keep your request in mind.
Seasons sounds pretty cool, but I'm iffy about my system's capabilities. Pooh.
