wut EPs are teh bestest?
birene:
I will just repost what I answered to an lj-friend's inquiry about Sims 2 and its EPs ...
A short assessment of the EPs as far as game-play goes:
University: So boring it hurts.
Nightlife: One of the best add-ons I would call it essential.
Open for Business: Thought I would hate it. It's one of my favorites now.
Pets: In one word: Unnecessary.
Seasons: Not of much use either, but you get an annoying penguine to chat with your snowmen.
Bon Voyage: Much like University a game of it's own. Very hard to implement in normal game play.
Free Time: Almost forgot about it. Has some interesting new game features but nothing world-shattering.
Apartment Life: The bugginess it kills us.
So IMO the OP already has the bestest EPs installed (also the crappiest with University). As for the more recent EPs, I would go with Seasons and Free Time before Apartment Life (better/alternatively Mansions & Garden) and Pets, nevermind Bon Voyage. But like others already said this is all really, really subjective.
Inge:
Seasons and Open For Business enriched my game more than the others (note: not "most"). Between them they opened up infinite options for the Sims' lifestyles. You can even make holiday homes if you have OFB, and the right hacks so they can stay on their community business lot as long as you want them to. Seasons of course enabled them to grow their own food and watching the weather IMHO does provide visual interest.

What do you mean, NOTHING WORLD SHATTERING? Free Time was the FIRST and ONLY expansion pack to actually give us LESS PEE. Every other expansion pack has INCREASED the amount of peeing in the game!

If you're crazed enough to try to play it unmodded. Why would you do this, though? All you'd end up with is sims peeing in borked apartment lots. AL added some nice build features, and the new clothing options do not totally suck.

Oh right, the copious amounts of pee. I'm mostly just in plain denial about that. Free Time or not. Therefore this failed to shatter my world, I guess.

AL is still too buggy for my taste, even in modded form (i.e. too much work to make it work). Plus I couldn't care less for the magic stuff. I'll give you the built features and clothing options, though.
