wut EPs are teh bestest?
Cyberdodo:
I've recently started playing again after a long break, and I'm feeling rather behind.
I only have Uni, NL, and OFB, so I'm looking for some info and opinions on the more recent EPs, beyond the obvious EAxis sales pitches. What gameplay options are added or changed? Do new careers have new LTWs? Most importantly, how badly borked is each one (tolerable with appropriate application of Awesomeware, or too big a steaming pile of bork for anything to fix)?
Moderator edit: Thread name changed to Jolrei's lulzy suggestion, to make our new sticky thread's topic clearer.
Ambular:
I'd suggest M&G just because that will bring you up to date on assorted stuff like build mode options, slots, and cheats. Also, it will keep you current with new mods and content still being made.
Seasons is good for general ambience and new weather-related activities. Pets is great if you like pets (obviously,) but it doesn't add a whole lot else to the game. OFB and AL both expand your Sims' options quite a bit as far as how they can choose to live and work. BV mainly deals with vacations, but it does also add new accessory options and beach lots. Free Time mainly adds hobbies, and I believe (verify please, someone?) the secondary Aspirations came with it.
IIRC, OFB was supposed to be quite stable and Seasons wasn't bad. Pets had some serious glitchiness and I believe AL was a bit of a nightmare (or that could have been BV, I'm not sure at this point,) but all of them have since been patched and modded to within acceptable parameters.
Bleached:
Yeah, FT added the secondary wants. To me, Seasons and Free Time are a must. Both of them add things that are visible in the lives of the sims, no matter how you play the game. With OFB, BV, and AL, the expansions are less pervasive, but are nice options to have if you want them. Personally, I don't really use the OFB or AL features, but I have them simply for the extra items and interactions that came with the packs. BV I use more often, but you might not, depending on your play style. As for LTWs, the only ones I can think of off the top of my head are the "Have 5 top businesses" LTW for fortune sims.
akatonbo:
FreeTime is my must-have now. If I had to give up every EP but one, that's what I'd keep, because I've wanted secondary aspirations pretty much ever since I started playing (plus I do like an awful lot of the hobby activities as well).
jolrei:
I like the BV build mode stuff. FT hobbies and activities are good. Seasons, well, for seasons. Pets is only good if you want pets (they're growing on me, I must admit, although none of my sims has a pet yet), and for the room dividers. AL has ZOMGceilings! which is more important to me than I thought it would be.
All this can be yours for the Arrring!
By the way, how many of these "wut EPs are teh bestest?" threads are there now? The OP might just read through a few of those, rather than us rehashing all this yet again.
