Which EP next?
Emma:
I love Nightlife and Seasons. I have all the EXP packs (and a couple of stuffits) but those are the ones I would choose if I could only have 2. If I could only have 1 then it would be Seasons.

As floopyboo mentioned, there's the awesomeness that is smite.
Personally, I find once my sims have maxed out skills, got all the crafting station badges, and given birth to their spawn ... that they fast become boring. Nothing to do except sit on the couch and yawn while power idling. That yawning drives me nuts.
Seasons has added a lot of interest to the game for me. Firstly, it gives my sims something to do (without the loading times of going to a business or on an outing/date). Fishing can be done 3 out of the 4 seasons, and keeps my maxed-out sims occupied for most of the year. There's the fruit and veg patches as well. I'm putting in decorative gardens so that sims can get into the gardening club - prior to Seasons the last garden I put in was before Uni came out.
It seems that sims catch cold more often now, and there's lightning, overheating and freezing to worry about, so maybe I'll even see my first accidental death. Freezing nearly got Darren Dreamer the other day. He was doing yoga by the letter box in winter, froze, and fell face down into the snow. Dirk was already off at uni, so there was nobody to rescue him. Darren survived the experience, but for a few minutes I was excited at the thought that I was finally going to have a genuine accidental death ...
Seasons has revived my interest in the sims, and it's not just about storing leftovers. I don't use the "store leftovers" feature anyway. I stick a couple of platters in a sim's inventory and let macrotastics deal with feeding my sims.
Seasons is definitely worth buying. Or acquiring.

Smiting? Batbox? I guess I missed any kind of comprehensive review here, and the "professional" reviews didn't mention it.

I'm jumpin on the Seasons recommending bandwagon. Really, as it's been said before, Seasons is pretty much what the original game should have been in the first place. And it only took them, oh... what? About 3 years to actually get that far? ::)
Anyhew, I actually like the influence system, including the social aspects. But only because I am easily amused at the tomfoolery that occurs in the Sims. :D I think it's kinda funny to play cupid with random townies and try to influence them to flirt and socialize with other sims. Then, with twojeffs ACR, you can actually have townies that will autonomously flirt, kiss, and even woohoo with each other! You know... almost like real life. :P

Smite is a feature of Pescado's lot debugger (the batbox). You can use smite to strike a sim with a bolt of lightning.
