NEW: You can now use code JAZSIMS when purchasing any sims 4 pack on the EA app or website to support me as a creator! 🎉 If you do grab a pack in the sale, I'd be super happy if you used my code 🥺 and let me know which pack you bought if you did! 💚

My favorite Sims 4 pack would probably be cats and dogs. Even though the CAS items are kind of hit or miss. I love the B&B items and the world the pack comes with. Also I just cannot live without pets in my game

[@SinobyThe]

My favorite is the one were you get cats & dog so I can have a army of good boys and girls

[@kyannewells3668]

I would say my favourite pack would have to be cottage living or Horse Ranch, I love blending these two packs together and living on a farm with farm animals. The horse girl in me loves it 🤍

[@Naturemama401]

Just started out playing sims on pc. Saw ur TikTok came from there. I’ve played sims 3 but not 4 long only have base game. But my favorite I guess would be pets seasons and I love how the horse ranch looks.

[@Slothian-ry3hf]

Even if there wasn't a giveaway, I would have subscribed. I found your channel when browsing CAS tips. I'm now subscribed! I'm incredibly impressed by your skills! Especially the ability to make realistic Sims in CAS. I am recommending your channel to all of my simming friends! ❤️

[@linksbetweendrinks7032]

I know there's debate on what are the "essential" packs; Seasons is fundamental, Get Together is great, Parenthood gives family-builders so much to do. But if I could only have one pack, it'd have to be City Living. Something about San Myshuno just feels like home!

[@ville666sora]

City Living was the first pack I ever got and is still one I'd say I can't play without.

[@Loralanthalas]

I hate seasons with a red hot passion and turn it off as much as I can. I don't get why sims are CONSTANTLY afraid of thunderstorms. If I could figure out how to turn off winter/summer I would. The only thing that happened is now I have to build greenhouses if I want a garden. Horrid!

[@bewxtchd]

​@Loralanthalas you can turn off freezing deaths in game options

[@victoriamaria1590]

oooh favorite pack, i think all the recent expansion packs have been great but i’m a family/legacy player at heart so i’m going to have to go with growing together. close follow ups are cottage living, cats and dogs, seasons ofc and pastel pop kit

[@gonzalonavarro4403]

My favorite has to be Get Together!! Because I love that it has one of the biggest worlds with plenty of lots, as well as the club system which I use often (I also love the CAS tbh)

[@sofiasanmartin8838]

ooo i think my favourite pack has to be highschool years, its so interesting how you can actually play at school, we used to have mods to be able to do that so the fact that they included that feature is amazing

[@nellysaddington8807]

My personal fav are packs like get to work or get famous because I love live mode and those gameplay features are super fun and engaging gameplay for me ❤

[@Jaz_Sims]

Congratulations you have been selected to win the Crystal Creations stuff pack! 🎉 please send me an email for more details at [e-mail] 😊

[@ville666sora]

I love get to work for mostly for the ability for my sim to run their own retail store.

[@octaviahonoratovergara8989]

I like to have different styles of playing but the one that always repeats itself and is my favorite is cotagge living, it has so much content that I can always find new things

[@Remianen]

Thanks for this! I'm trying to decide which packs are worth getting (even on sale) and this was extremely helpful. One thing to note though. The record player is in Modern Luxe because of the recent resurgence of vinyl. It was out of favor for 20+ years (with the rise of digital formats like the CD/minidisc and mp3 and then streaming) but in recent years, it has exploded in popularity (at least in the US). I think it's added to this pack as an acknowledgment of that.

[@Jaz_Sims]

Interesting, I hadn't considered it like that. And yeah I think it's an international revival, my collection of 70+ vinyls is looking at me from across the room 😂 I still think it's a bit of a mismatch in theme despite it becoming popular again in more modern times because it's still not really a modern luxury. I'm glad this video helped you in some way decide for the packs, if you do grab anything from the sale I hope you enjoy!!

[@misscakepop1591]

My favorite Sims 4 pack is seasons. I love the weather and making holidays. It’s just so fun. Love your vids Jaz🩷🌷🌞🍁❄️

[@Jaz_Sims]

Seasons is such a great pack, it's in my top ones too! Thank you 🥰

[@amandabenzies4967]

growing together would have to be my favorite but i get the love for the others 💖💓🩷 loved this video !

[@user-pw6ol5ck1p]

I bought greenhouse Haven just for the screened windows and doors and I don’t regret it at all. Where I live screened porches are everywhere so I was absolutely giddy to be able to add that into my game.

[@fluffychan6000]

i wait untill packs are half off

[@Jaz_Sims]

[@Caelumization]

Yep got them when they were half, except cottage but this i think was worth it

I was curious about your take on this ! I am glad you did it ❤! Can't wait for your next videos

[@peppi842]

My favorite pack must be jungle adventure!!💖 The world is so pretty and colorful and I adore the kitchen set in it 🤗

[@Jaz_Sims]

The exploring part was so well done! And Selvadorada is so pretty 🪴

[@eviemarie007]

I do agree with the thing about the moles, I have scoliosis and when I saw it was locked behind growing together I was pretty upset. 😢❤

[@leech9460]

My favorite pack has to be pets, ive always loved pets. I had it for the sims 2, sims 3 and i currently have it for the sims 4 i remember making either my irl pets in the sims or making mlp horses in the sims 3

[@Jaz_Sims]

Apaloosa plains was amazing 🥺

[@madeline2009]

My favorite pack would definitely be seasons because it brings more life to the game with christmas and valentines and more.😊 I definitely recommend it to new players😁

[@Jaz_Sims]

Yes definitely, seasons would be the one I recommend to all new players too 🥰

[@barukrejci1122]

Luv the videoo, my absolute fav pack is the island living, cause i personally love the ocean and marine life, so this just fills me with joy✨🤩

[@Jaz_Sims]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@angelanania-zak227]

Seasons is my favorite favorite pack. An absolute must-have for your simming experience!

[@the-_-penguin3652]

My fav pack is honestly cityliving. I really like the vibe and yn... Apartments XD

[@lazanyagaming2398]

My fav sims 4 pack is realm of magic. Love your vids bdw! ❤

[@Jaz_Sims]

Thank you 🤗

[@ja_c_ky713]

My favorite pack is probably Snowy Escapes, cause it has so many new things. For example, that you can learn climbing, snowboarding and skiing and it’s not just fitness. 💚

[@alan1cepeda]

My favorite gotta be season, I love gardens so seeing it change season by season gives it so much life

[@hopem5805]

one of my favorite packs is probably parenthood or get to together. idk if i could decide but I use both of these all the time!

[@owz123321]

My fave is Eco Lifestyle. The objects, crafting and the world changes. V dynamic imo

[@Jaz_Sims]

True! The build/buy and cas are pretty solid

[@thelatenightwriter]

For me, I usually pass on most packs due to the price tag but if I had to choose a favorite it would have to be seasons. Weather definitely should have been a base game feature but it is one of the most essential packs if you’re going to get one. Between the new activities and the fact that it gives you an actual reason to change your sim’s outfits, it has to be one of the best expansion packs.

[@legoanimations6604]

Once again, my all time dream packs are the seasons pack and the cats and dogs pack! ❤ :DDDD

[@legoanimations6604]

Oh wait am I meant to say that in the replies?

[@Jaz_Sims]

No you're good! I'm picking from all the comments on the video 😊

[@azuregarvey7923]

Absolutely love cottage living, I use it almost every game basically unconsciously now

[@Iabjorn]

My favourite pack is eco lifestyle! I know a lot of people have issues with it and I agree that the neighbourhood action plan can be a bit annoying but once you clean up the world it’s so pretty. The build/buy is by far my favourite, I love everything about it and the crafted furniture is really good!

[@magnussigurdur]

I have five and i recommend only one for full price being get together one being half off hsy,city living and romantic garden and one being if you really like it desert luxe

[@Jaz_Sims]

That sounds pretty solid!!

[@siickhippie]

My fav pack is city living, I use it ALL the time

[@romantizia]

i’ve absolutely been LOVING the gothic pack, but cottage living will always have my heart 🫶

[@elliec04]

i’ve recently gotten back into the sims and as a family game player, growing together and parenthood are great packs, but i honestly love using the realm of magic gameplay!

[@lydia4626]

my favourite pack is both city living and seasons. both are so fun and have good clothing. seasons adds so much stuff to gameplay and makes it 20 times better. I also love living in the apartments in the city.

[@3mma_2020]

My favorite pack is for sure horse ranch. The horses, goats, and sheep are everything, and I absolutely loooove the build/buy items!

[@Amelia_of_Brazenwall]

Honestly, my favorite pack is paranormal stuff. It's great value for money, and it's got some of the cutest cas i've seen, and the build buy stuff is delightful! The new career is actually super fun, and the slight cross pack compatability with realm of magic is a nice touch

[@fabulousfab101]

My favorite pack has to be city living! Even if I'm not living in San Myshuno I visit it frequently for the festivals which I cant say for any other dlc worlds ❤

[@Jaz_Sims]

The festivals are 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@clariscollection]

My favourite pack would have to be cottage living, it's just so wholesome! Thanks for your channel! Love the videos keep up the great work!

[@MayaColeman-x2j]

i loveeee growing together!! family gameplay is my favorite and i love the features included especially the splash parks

[@Jaz_Sims]

Right? I feel like it's so underrated

[@jimesolll]

i definitely love horse ranch build items, but i think my favorite is snowy escape because it’s the one i play with the most, i love the build items and all the gameplay options

[@lavand3rbuds]

i have like 5 packs 😭

[@curie1420]

i have 6 packs that i bought, the rest were free kits that ea decided to give lmao

[@lillianisawesome1]

I absolutely adore the dream home decorator pack. I love having the modular couches and cupboards 😄

[@BobSlay-w2f]

My favorite expansion pack is get together because the world is very big with many sims, and I really like the dancing skill!

[@raquelvillasenor5693]

My favorite pack is for sure growing together I think it adds so much dimension to the Sims themselves and their little personalities

[@roughrambo1000000]

37:07 going to have to hard disagree with that placement for one reason and only one reason, how they treated Metal music. Metalheads are legitimately one of the largest subcultures in the world and not only do the Sims team not make any substantial CAS/Build mode stuff, they put the music that the subculture is based around in as a meme in the knitting stuff pack. If this was like cottage core or other more "socially acceptable" subcultures, then those people would be sharpening their pitchfork like I do when it's brought up. Other than that I personally think your rankings are fine, don't agree with all of them but that's more down to taste.

[@Jaz_Sims]

Oh wait I wasn't even aware that we got the metal genre in the knitting pack! I love metal myself so I get that it's dumb that they made it a meme 🖤

[@garyhay6771]

0:07 I think the word you were looking for was definitive

[@taylorflopera]

My favorite pack is city living for the map, cottage living for the map and the build/cas items and seasons is just an essential! 🤩🤩🤩

[@CosmicMosaic]

My favorite pack so far is Cottage Living. I feel like the countryside vibe calms me down, plus I love the “living off the land” aspect

[@michealbohmer2871]

I actually own every pack for The Sims 4 except two: Journey to Batuu and Modern Menswear. I will not be adding either of them to my account. Thanks for the video Jaz.

[@Jaz_Sims]

Thanks so much Michael for the Super Thanks!! Glad you liked the video 🤝🏻

[@goose3276]

These days I mostly do building in the sims and I've noticed that all of my builds contain something from the horse ranch ep, so I guess that could be my favourite!

[@queensarayokoyo51]

For me it's Seasons , it add so much in the game. What would be a simulation game without weather, Season, rain...😁❤

[@spookyslappy]

My all time favorite pack has to be seasons, such a simple pack but so impactful for the game, i find myself using the holidays alot! Plus who doesnt want snow??? 😂

[@evelynpayne5995]

great video! i personally really like the CAS stuff from vampires. it feels like 2000s hot topic. it’s so fun. i wish the goth kit had more stuff like it.

[@Jaz_Sims]

Thank you 😊

[@jrrainbows2665]

i’m gonna be honest! i love the cottage living pack. it’s so hard to choose between it and growing together but i like the cottage vibes more, haha. as for kits, i think my favorite is also the little campers one! it’s very versatile :]

[@MariaLopes60s]

My favorite pack is sesons because there are events where you can play in the snow and leaves, but I also like island living because you can create mermaids and there are areas with sand.

[@aliaduamni2492]

I think seasons is just essential and I use the build items and gamplay features all the time. My favorite pack is probably cottage living though. I love the aesthetic.

[@Mikaela.M]

My favourite Pack is for sureee city living i love all the different districts and how they are so different from eachother😍

[@0kkltty]

honestly, unpopular opinion, but I really like high school years, if it wasn’t broken as much as it is and they fixed the prom every week issue I’d enjoy it more. I feel like teens have more purpose now with the pack. They could have added so much more though so slightly disappointing. Get to work and discover university are my top to though. I feel the sims did well with those.

[@SimsyHazel]

My fav pack is Discover University. I've always loved the idea of sims getting college educated, live in dorms and cause drama. I like doing either a immigrant fish-out-water story line for uni or a elderly sim going to uni to hopefully redo their (mostly) bad life choices.

[@LizzieRoo]

Horse Ranch has to be my favorite, because I love the rustic aesthetic and of course the horses.

[@cinnisims8448]

I know sometimes people can forget or overlook, but the "Get to Work" expansion has 8 lots, not the 3. There is 4 lots not 3 in Magnolia Promenade and there is lots for each career. The Hospital, Police Station, the Scientist area/site and then Sixam (Alian World).

[@Jaz_Sims]

True! I guess I meant it would've been cool to have a real commercial district map with more lots for more types of shops, a restaurant if you own dine out, etc. In the sims 3 if you installed a new pack it would ask you if you wanted to add an extra lot from the pack to the base world if there was an empty lot, that would've been super useful for the sims 4 given how many packs there are, and if there were more empty lots in MP that would've been really cool to expand on

[@cinnisims8448]

@@Jaz_Sims I feel that a lot sims 4 content will never be on par with previous games and just hope with the next Gen (Project Rene) gives US Players more world building tools and so much more in base game than what Sims 4 Base game did. I appreciate you replying back.

my favorite pack is definitely the paranormal stuff pack! i love being a paranormal investigator and hanging out with guidry!!

[@celimine]

My fav pack has to be snowy escape, the world, CAS, and build /buy items are amazing!!

[@Adi_nati]

I think my favorite pack is cottage living. I love everything about it, the clothes, the world, the build & buy items, and obviously the gameplay. as a person who lives in a city where most of the buildings are modern, it worms my heart to open the game and play as a girl from Henford-on-Bagley who's only worriers are how to grow the biggest pumpkin (:

[@krustykrab113]

We have the same favorites! I think my favorite expansion pack would have to be growing together just because I love family gameplay and the grandparent interactions are so cute ❤
