Which EP next?
Lorelei:
You seem to have decided on Seasons, and I applaud that.
I got all of the EPs at once, and that may have prevented me having hack and BodyShop issues with Pets, and I was slightly leery of adding a new EP to the batch, having unfond memories of EA borkennesses, but Seasons is remarkably stable.
I will share that I experienced some Plant Sim issues when trying to run a comm lot business, so it may be wise not to have a Plant Sim try to work off-lot, or it may just be me having another "only I have it" bugs. YMMV.
I liked Uni, but mostly for the YA age stage, extra want/fear slots and locks, and because hey, I'm in college again, so I find it amusing to recreate classmates as Sims and then let them run around unsupervised in Uni hoods.
I don't do much with Pets other than give two or three Sims a dog or cat. I could do without it, but I like having the animals around. If it was causing issues, I'd be less enthused. It's not as stable or useful as Seasons.
Cheers, have fun, whatever you pick.
Count Four:
Seasons is installed, patched, all that good stuff. Right off the bat Rose Greenman got pregnant with twins.
(I swear I have the super-top-secret OMGTWINZ!!!1! base game. Really. My sims were having twins left and right before I had so much as a single EP. They still are. The first sim that ever got knocked up in my game had twins. So did her daughter. Cheesecake? It is to laugh, hahahahahaha-groan. ACR is fantastic, but what would come in really useful is a way to prohibit twin pregnancy by lot. It's all right for a brand new couple; if they get twins, they've pretty much got a complete family in one shot. But other families don't need two more. And yeah, I know, I can abort/use the morning after pill, but it wastes time.)
I've only had a few hours to play, but I like Seasons. New careers, gardening that actually has a point, selling goodies, OMGWEATHER!. The storm sounds are great, they keep freaking the hell out of my cat and dog. The cat is fascinated with the sprinklers, too.
I like working on getting badges for them, so yay for the gardening badge.
And they're rolling wants now to buy craft benches; they've never done that before, even though I have OFB.
I've noticed with a plantsim in the house it's really easy to 'neglect' the regular sims. Since the plantsim never sleeps, I keep getting more focused on them than on the ones who become inactive every night.
But--are apple trees ever healthy? And why do the apples look grey on my trees? Other produce has color, but the apples look like zombie-fruit. They have color in the inventory, though.
Kyna:
In spite of it's name, Twojeffs' Triplets and Quads hack sounds like what you're looking for. In the full version you have the option to select how many kids are born, so you can select one child instead of twins.
To get a plant or tree to thriving you'll need to have a sim with a gold gardening badge talk to it. I tend to put fruit trees inside a greenhouse so that they don't get affected by bugs, which helps to keep them healthier without the need for perfomance-affecting ladybug houses. The apples probably look grey on the tree because the tree is sickly.
