What Are The BEST Sims 4 Expansion Packs? // Ranking Each Pack According to CAS, Build and Gameplay

[@sydmac]

*what are your favourite expansion packs:)?*

[@campanda1875]

Seasons as it is included in everyday gameplay, unlike other packs which only get included in particular worlds (e.g sulani ect)

[@viiviblomqvist8590]

Get to work. Get to gether. Cityliving. Cottageliving. Tinyliving. Dream home decorator. The plant kit. Cats and dogs.

[@Tara-cv2kz]

get famous (mostly for build/buy) and cottage living (for build/buy and cas)

[@liviarrcha]

Seasons, Cats & dogs, Island living, Get to work, City living, Get famous

[@K_beans]

City living

[@sophiecoats-clemans329]

i used to really want discover university, and then i started university and now i really don’t want to recreate my life of doing homework all the time

[@PaulaSantos-pb8zn]

Kkkk

[@HanamichiV]

Swearrr

[@Jadesenvy]

LMAOO REAL

[@TimidAction]

Yess as someone who has graduated university..no thank youu 😭

[@avaschaefer6656]

As someone who mostly builds I really like cottage living, high school years, snowy escape, and eco lifestyle.

[@Borgnbo]

based

[@fracturedchickn]

See I like building but I download so much cc so I’m trying to figure out which pack is even worth it 😭😂

[@ville666sora]

Those are great choices for building, and for me I'd also add Seasons and Cats and Dogs to that list. Especially for the windows and doors, and the wallpaper.

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

Seasons also has my favorite Elders-only death: the death by flowers. If you get to level 9 of the flower arranging skill, you can scent an arrangement with a death flower and if you give it to an Elder, they will immediately die. If you give it to anyone else, they will immediately age up. It's a really cool death but one that's hard to get and very few people know about, I think. I actually discovered it through gameplay myself.

[@sekai9488]

oh wow i just started playing sims and that's so cool!

[@MoonlightBrillance]

i brought seasons recently and that is so cool to know

[@Hi_Im_Akward]

Some of these packs, I bought for one specific item or feature. Get together: clubs University: the shower Island living: beaches That being said, I have found more in the packs that I liked. I still explored them since I bought it. Overall I find sims4 is dissapointing in general. Every single pack feels like it's missing stuff. Just usually feels rushed and not checked over or synced with the other games. I feel like I have to buy multiple packs inorder to play in the way I want to, build the way I want to. My best advice for any new person looking to get expansions, wait for the sales. They have pretty big sales every year. Save up and buy a bunch of them during the sales you'll save a lot of money and get more for your money.

[@lukevanwyngaardt6584]

This. Absolutely this. I always wait for sales if I want a new pack for the Sims.

[@krystalfrederick7447]

1000% agree

[@jaybee4288]

I agree with you! But I just played through all of snowy escape (and I mean all!) and I would say that this one feels complete. If all expansion packs provide 40-50 hours and you feel like ‘oh my sims did a lot here’ then it would be great. But too many are just one feature packs.

[@stormwright8300]

Also get bundles during sales. I can get three packs for less than one expansion pack. If only kits also went on sale

[@lateoclock4281]

Syd really outdid herself with the editing on this one! It must have taken ages to prep all the B-roll and get the timing lined up. This is absolutely a top-tier video.

[@mills_thecollective34]

Get to Work: 1:22 Get Together 3:48 City Living 5:44 Cats and Dogs: 8:07 Seasons: 10:56 Get Famous: 14:01 Island Living: 16:34 Discover University: 18:29 Eco Lifestyle: 20:43 Snowy Escape: 23:47 Cottage Living: 25:40 High School Years: 27:17 Conclusion: 29:13 Hi, this video helped me so much! I'm interested in the next videos for this series! I'm brand new to The Sims as a franchise! So far I only have Vampires, cause its my thing! Based on this video, I'm likely to get City Living next! Thank you for your effort, videos, and sharing this info!

[@jaybee4288]

City living is fun! When sims 4 came to console we only had vampires and city living and those two packs last me a long time!

[@zararobnett8284]

I can’t imagine playing without the city living pack. So many havks based around those festivals , rummaging for snow globes and taking expensive flowers to make money. Food stalls immediately increase what your sim can cook by eating one time there and I love the city. My sims go there often

[@ville666sora]

Same. I don't think I could play without City Living and Seasons personally. Probably Cats and Dogs too. Any other packs are fun and add to the game, but they're not necessary to enjoy the game.

[@novajensen9481]

​@@ville666sora legit same! seasons are just so amazing and i would not be able to play without it. and city living is also just so good

[@lilyiscrazy547]

You should do a Halloween murder mystery themed house or sims

[@mviola2707]

I vote for doing an Addams Family inspired building (with the sims that live there)

[@ersatzemily]

Can we get the follow up for packs and kits?? Want to use your ideas to help me pick my next buy! Tysm for everything you do!! 💕

[@adoresjpg]

Tbh i want to see Syd building Halloween neigbourhood on one lot! Glowing look macoretta👻🎃💜

[@lilymariee]

love how you go in depth for each pack! i often forget what features come with each pack, so this was very appreciated!

[@samz5627]

This video could not be more perfectly timed. Thank you for your service!

[@schnuds]

I love snowy escape! not only bc I love the style personally but we got soooo much with it! a new world, clothes, food, gameplay,...

[@Jade-iq4tl]

I thought it was just me who get stressed out by discovering university 😭😭😭

[@jaybee4288]

No, it’s Stressful. It help to turn off aging and do less courses each week, then you have more time to have fun and relax!

[@firekame]

EA has a sale right now so I came back to watch this. I love the breakdown, hopefully you do more for the other expansion types soon! :)

[@adiash247]

seasons is conflicting for me as well because while the build items are soso great, the rain puddles and clouds can be such a nuisance in build mode (not to mention what landscaping is generally like when it's not summer)

[@hahashort1623]

I was trying to figure out which I should buy! This is so helpful ❤

[@bebielieween]

If you're curious, I ranked every Sim world by size, where by "size" I mean, in order of importance: number of lots (apartments count 2/3 because of the "outside limitations), eventual same-world extra lots (Deep Woods or Hospital yes, Sixam no), extra places like the trails in Komorebi, number of neighborhoods, how the lots are distributed in the neighborhoods and outside-world lots (the science lab, Sixam...) So, from the biggest to the smallest, we have: - Get Together - Windenburg (27 map lots, 4 neighborhoods) - City Living - San Myshuno (23 "lots" -should be 30 but 21 are apartments and only 9 are actual building lots-, 4 districts) - Base Game - Oasis Spring (21 map lots + 1 secret lot that definitely still belongs to Oasis Spsrings, 6 neighborhoods) - Base Game - Willow Creek (21 map lots + 1 secret lot but I can't decide if it's still part of Willow Creek or not, 6 neighborhoods) - Cats & Dogs - Brindleton Bay (16 map lots, 4 neighborhoods) - Base Game - Newcrest (15 map lots, 3 neighborhoods) - Snowy Escape - Mt. Komorebi (14 map lots + 1 secret lot, which is the mountain top, in 3 neigborhoods, and that's without counting the hiking trails each neighborhood has) - Island Living - Sulani (14 map lots, 3 islands and a lot of sea) - Eco Lifestyle - Evergreen Harbour (13 "lots" -should be 15 but there are 4 apartments-, 3 neighborhoods) - Cottage Living - Henford-on-Bagley (12 map lots, 3 neighborhoods but they're very open) - High School Years - Copperdale (12 map lots, 3 neighborhoods and the fair but it's not that big) - StrangerVille - StrangerVille (11 map lots + the secret lab, 3 neighborhoods) - DIscover University - Britechester (11 "lots" because I counted each University for 3 instead of 4 because of the Dorms, 2 campuses + 1 neighborhood) - Get Famous - Del Sol Valley (11 map lots, 3 neighborhoods) - My Wedding Stories - Tartosa (9 map lots, 2 neighborhoods but very big to run around) - Jungle Adventure - Selvadorada (technically is bigger than Tartosa but there are only 7 lots and 2 neighborhoods and then around 5 "?" in the Jungle) - Outdoor Retreat - Granite Falls (6 map lots + 1 secred lots in the woods and a bit to explore around, 2 spots) - REalm Of Magic - Glimmerbrook (5 map lots, 1 neighborhood and then there's the whole Magic Realm, which is huge but not really in Glimmerbrook, 1 secret lot still) - Vampires - Forgotten Hollow (5 map lots, 2 spots) - Werewolves - Moonwood Mills (5 map lots, technically with the whole lake and wolf rock should be bigger than Forgotten Hollow but those are not buildable spots) - Get To Work - Magnolia Promenade (4 map slots, then the 2 lots of the hospital and Police department that are hidden but still part of the Promenade. The Research Lab lot is not near there so it doesn't count and Sixam secret lot is DEFINITELY soewhere else) - Journey to Batuu - Batuu (technically none but you can enable 3 lots, one for each location)

[@wrenpoole1007]

I NEED the update to this and the rest of the videosss

[@pelirroja_frustrada9371]

Hi!! You should do the Pinterest Challenge + Aesthetic wheel, that way you can create different styles! That would be so cool. Following you since the beginning of your channel, I love it! Hope its gets even better cause you deserve it

[@yallneedjisoos1047]

I'm really glad you actually like cottage living that much bc I just bought it before I found this video and I would've cried

[@jaybee4288]

Is one of best expansion you okay :)

[@sofiyaouspenskaia2092]

We need a video on packs and kits! 🙏🙏😍

[@becnoremac-mail7307]

I agree about seasons. Everyone says "need it" because the weather changes, but otherwise it seems meh to me

[@janniegurl05]

I just love it do to the Calendar feature. I love being able to schedule summer vacation and other vacations and holidays for my Sims.

[@lukevanwyngaardt6584]

For me, Get Together is the best Expansion in The Sims 4. I love the build and CAS items so much as well as playing with the townies in the pack.

[@fifi7367]

Im actually really like the bell sound in get together world.

[@Jantastick]

Im glad Snowy Escape gets the recognition it deserves its such a chill and a fun pack and I love it, definitely worth buying

[@deejsweet]

Thank you for making this! I am trying to figure out which pack I want next. I want to know the details you're sharing and not many other channels I've watched explain much on the packs. Love you for always being my favorite go to simmer to learn from!

[@Qtopian]

I love cottage living and cats and dogs for the worlds alone. I play in them all of the time just because they are so pretty and kind of realistic to imagine yourself living there

[@RockMuzek]

I only have city living and island living out of these, but I really like both of them. I actually commented on another video asking which were worth the buy because I was going to buy another.

[@dyahputri9301]

Hi syd!! I wonder if you're gonna make the next video soon about the other dlcs?? I value your opinion a lot!! Thank you so much in advance!!

[@carleyblakemore4640]

I have gone rogue with the sale on the sims packs 🤣

[@ciarah11]

I love this! Although I have majority of the packs and all the expansions, I still enjoy these very much. Can’t wait for the next ones! 😊

[@narfares]

I was looking for a video that could summarize what’s in each pack

[@zararobnett8284]

If you have kids in the sims i would say need it for snowy escape just for the childrens festivals but it’s also beautiful, great Cas items gorgeous build items and beautiful world.

[@stannctorbeasquare]

I feel like Snowy Escape gets slept on a lot so I am glad it's in your need it. The pack also came with Kiyoshi Ito and Kaori Nishidake and they are just one of the prettiest people to have babies with lolol.

[@jaybee4288]

Oh this is great I’m so used to the usual ‘seasons is the best’. No Snowy Escape needs more love!!! :D

[@ChibiRandom13]

You actually made it so movie hangout is one of the stuff packs I'm gonna get! I wanted it for the sims going to movies and watching movies together (my sis and I are big cinephiles) but seeing what you do with the build items really made me want the pack! I have get together, seasons, and discover university bc i felt they were necessary for making my sims lives more "real" (i live in an area with a very wildly different climate every week so seasons was a must, i cried when i saw snow covered builds on youtube) and next on my list is get to work, island living, and cats and dogs, which I feel a lot more confident about after watching this video!

[@qttred]

i just bought snowy escape i had been debating but i love japanese culture and i love the snowy vibe, i’m super excited to try it out!!!

[@Key-lf2jk]

Was it worth it? Im only asking bc im thinking about buying that or high school years or get famous helpp plz 😂

[@moldybre_d]

I agree with the Need Its but as you said, expansion packs are expensive (and I can't afford a lot of them 😭) so my plan is to just wait for the next sale.

[@emeowlyclaire]

I think the packs are actually on sale now!

[@iceyyakiee]

they’re on sale rn ! i got 2 yesterday, they’re my first packs 😭

[@veralavida222]

i literally have all the packs and still watched this whole thing. just can't miss a single drop of your content! love your channel so much!!

[@moomje]

i love cats and dogs and how they added dog/pet doors! it adds a lot of realism :)

[@paige8336]

BUILD CHALLENGE - Build a house using only packs from the Delete it/Hate it category!

[@sentientstarz]

the daily syd mac sims video fr getting me through the semester bless🙏🙏🙏

[@masonfoster619]

Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, and Cottage Living are the must haves for me. My controversial opinion is I would've put Seasons in the delete it category, in my gameplay I always disable all weather and delete all holidays as I find them to be more of a nuisance than fun. Also I strongly believe all expansion packs should come with a new world and not having one makes it not worth the cost.

[@OddClarity]

Pet avoidance issues (in game) for the reasons you mentioned. Got very sad when my first chicken died. Heavens help me when my first llama goes (yep only just stated to have llamas ;)! Seasons: Gives me mixed feelings. We have to pay for weather in 2018 onwards? In the year 2000 this made sense because of technology limitations but nowadays it should be basegame. Plenty of games do this (Animal Crossing, My Time at Portia, Pokemon - well sorta in certain areas there's weather - etc.). Hehe you @SydMac mentioned "mermaids are shallow", not sure if you intended it but that's a pretty good pun! *thumbs up* indeed

[@andrewmoeller1987]

Gotta love a list ranking video! I really liked the edited part you added in on the Seasons part. Looking nice and cozy. My rankings would go like this: Need it: Get Together, Seasons, Like it: Cottage Living, Cats & Dogs Meh: Island Living, City Living, Get To Work Don't like: Snowy Escape, Discover University Delete it: Eco Lifestyle, High School Stories, Get Famous As a note: all those ranked below "Meh" I do not own. I've watched enough reviews to know I do not want any of those. Although the ones under "Don't Like" while I don't want, I'm not opposed to them.

[@davidfl4]

Gosh your channel has grown so much and I feel like I’ve been here for awhile! It’s been awesome to watch !congrats🎉 you’re like my favorite summer

[@idkwhattonamemyself169]

28:10 Maybe you could build one😃 I don’t like the default Highschool either and I tried to build one but it’s hard. Maybe you could even build it just with base game and Highschool years so everyone with the Highschool years pack can download it. I’d love to see that😊

[@silvervixen007]

Thank you so much! This is such a useful video for a newbie like me ☺️

[@nelly_lu]

Snowy Escape getting the love it deserves

[@darkenedfay]

Anyone else remember when a lot of those "features" were base game? No? Just me?

[@cookliet8444]

lolol I got a jumpscare at 3:00 I was wearing headphones and the sound creeped the soul out of my body

[@sydmac]

OMG lmao I am so sorry

[@milkushi4285]

I love your this video! Can’t wait to see your recommendations for the other packs! I’m not sure which ones I’m gonna get so I love your advice!

[@Resywesy]

Cats and dogs is my 1st thing I bought in all the sims 4 😊

[@MARTiina317]

i mostly agree the only difference is that i LOVE eco lifestyle, especially the gameplay p.s. justice for mermaids!

[@Dejadiaries]

Can you do a updated version of this since we had so many releases this year 😅

[@LieutenantUk]

I struggle a lot with Sims 4, it's great!! don't get me wrong, I'm addicted. But...i can never decide on a pack, I am always about gameplay, I rarely build..and just get old builds, I love cas although I don't have CC or enough packs, I only have werewolves, cottage living and get to work. Ofc it adds a lot to the gameplay, you can either be an alien, werewolf, or a farm gal

[@AbhijaiSingha]

As a builder Get Together has the best & largest world n a ton of essential build buy 😫

[@ashleyanderson5398]

We need this finished

[@zararobnett8284]

I feel highschool is totally meh and didn’t buy it but I’m SO tempted cause of the build items

[@kirakira1212]

I bought it for the cas and build items 😂😂😭

[@jaybee4288]

Honestly it’s not so bad, the school is rubbish but the townies are kinda fun to have in the game and it does improve teens a bit, plus really nice CAS and build. But it’s a 50 percent off sale one I would say.

[@milliejane8476]

I live vicariously through island living that world is so beautiful it's my escape (I do agree that the mermaids could have a lot more features though!)

[@ilzedickenson8746]

Can you please do a video on the kits!!!

[@arielpinheirogomes]

I was SO chocked that you put Get Famous in meh

[@ashleyfennec8236]

Thank you so much for doing this video it really helped me decide witch packs I'm going to buy or not

[@ville666sora]

I get kind of annoyed when people ask "which packs are worth the money?" Imo no one can answer that for you because we all have different tastes. If you enjoy it then it's worth the money. I don't know which ones I'm going to enjoy until I'm actively playing with them. Some of the ones I was the most excited for I ended up not really using, and some of the ones I had zero interest in and only bought because there was a sale ended up being some of my favorites.

[@zararobnett8284]

@syd in the event you want to muse a pet inn your game. You can go to vet buy immortal treat and your pet will never age or die

[@Brokenandhalfalive]

Please finish this series

[@luci4better]

Searched up ranking expansion packs and found you, I love this video and its very well explained lol. You got a subscriber even though this video was 10 months ago. edit: I love your makeup lmaoo

[@fitbeaut609]

Please build a cute clinic

[@3vamarie_]

I was just ready to buy a new expansion pack or two so this came in time ... even though you posted this close to a week ago.

[@asia7100]

i've never had any problems with eco lifestyle, its not broken in my game 👀👀

[@julie2480]

The odd jobs makes island living worth it for me. I use it a lot. It gets repetitive though, and I wish there were more cross pack playability with it

[@Tay-yw8bo]

Such a shame the eco lifestyle world is broken I loved the concept

[@cherrybomb388]

the fact expansion packs are $55 bucks in CA is insane because in the US they're only $40.😭

[@valentinavalentine14]

Yea because CA money is more higher

[@becnoremac-mail7307]

I like to see a pack ranking, but I'd love one that is based on facts instead of opinion. Can this pack meet all a sims needs and build a functional house with just this pack. Hunger (fridge), Hygiene (sink, shower, bath), Bladder (toilet), Fun (bookshelf, chess board etc), Energy (bed), Social (dresser or mirror) Tiers: Mansion = Meets all 6 needs . Also has wallpaper, flooring, windows, doors, lights. Starter home = meets all needs (not fussed about social) but missing doors and/or windows, wallpaper, flooring, lights Rags to riches : meets all needs but some in unconventional ways (e.g. public toilet for bladder, cooler for hunger) Touch of base= fulfils 4 needs Turn up the base= fulfils 3 needs All about the base = fulfils 2 or less needs

[@MellyMelMels]

I personally think if seasons had a world it could have different areas, one with it being snowy and winter all the time, one being super warm a little like sulani and it being summerry, one being like springy warm and chilly and pretty and all, and one like auttumny like

[@twogengaming4911]

Already own on the packs ... Yes all *lowers head, I know, don't judge* But, watching this vid to support Syd who is rapidly becoming one of my favorite Sims KZbinrs!

[@SchoolAnatomy]

personally still think it sucks we have to pay for some of this stuff, i forget which one but i remember having things like seasons, snow escapes, Vampires, werwolf etc for BASE game… but my favorites are seasons, Cats&Dogs, Cottage-living, and high school years.

[@sofiavenezia1800]

Never found the other kits and expansion videos T_T please update thisssss

[@bowwowfayfernandez]

i will never buy cats and dogs, it’ll just pain me if they die

[@OfficialRayLiotta]

You should do a video like this where you rate the debug items each pack comes with!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@helloinspiration]

Was just going to ask you about this (new viewer) - but I’m planning on bundling! Only bundle-able EP left for me right now is Snowy Escape, so I’d love for you to do GPs and SPs! ❤

[@jessicafoster1196]

Seasons is fun, but damn, the first time my sim got struck by lighting scared me.

[@analizapadayao9680]

Its Halloween , can you do the haunted house sim its soo cool to do it🥰🥰🥰😘

[@W.B._SPC]

You should build 4 houses for different seasons or like each room a different holidays ❤🎉

[@stevenwatts586]

28:27 my "prom" was something else. to start off the reason i quoted "prom" was because we werent allowed to call it that. we were told we had to refer to it as a formal or they would cancel it. the principal literally told us if he heard the word "prom" he would shut it down. i did go to a pretty small religious school, but it honestly wasnt as stuck up as some can be. anyway, since it was so small my graduating class was only like 12 of us so i had decided that i really didnt want to go because they said we werent going to have any real music, there was to be no dancing with exception of like the cha cha slide or crap like that. dont get me wrong those kinds of dances can be fun or entertaining in certain situations but not here all night. the only music was going to be religious based. it was going to be held in our gymnasium at school. i just was not interested. day of came and still not going. then probably half an hour after it was set to start i broke and went, but i didnt have a tux or any type of dress suit so i went to Tommy Hilfiger and got a nice pink and blue stripped button down shirt. i forgot to mention my truck was broke down and my mother's car had been stolen and totaled so the only available vehicle was my father's work van which i wasnt allowed to drive so my mother had to take me. another reason i didnt want to go. i got there and of course music sucked and it was empty basically everyone was there but again only 12 of us and most were dating each other so there were no other people. now is where my story gets a little "better", i was 18 my senior year and there was a 24 yo teacher that was NOT my teacher, but she taught something in the HS. she was very attractive, and she was going to be a chaperone. i came in the door and went to the table we had set up as a snack bar and was just pouring a glass of punch and she came up beside me and we started talking. back then in the early 2000s i was pretty slick and a big flirt so i had flirted with her in the past so, when she said that she liked "my tux" i replied, "thanks, it's the new invisible tux. they're all the rage over in Japan right now." she smiled and said that she wished she had an invisible dress. without hesitation i said "yea, me too." she and i both blushed and she had an intrigued shocked face, and like playfully slapped at my arm. one of the girls there was an ex of mine, and she did bring a date that wasnt a classmate. i noticed when they came in that i recognized this guy because we went to the same gym. throughout the night i noticed him looking at me alot. i just figured he recognized me but couldnt place where he knew me from so i just let it go. eventually, my ex formally introduced us and i said that i knew him from the gym thinking he would like gasp and say 'THATS WHERE IVE SEEN YOU", but nope, he didnt remark. the night ended and i didnt have a ride home, so the hot teacher asked me if i needed a ride. i was a flirt but i wasnt very smart so i said "no, that alright". eventually my mother came and i went home. fast forward a few days and my ex came to school upset. i asked her what was wrong, and she told me that the guy she brought to prom ended up dumping her because he was gay. YEP, that's right. this guy had been checking me out, not trying to figure out who i was. not sure why, I never noticed him doing it at the gym. i was kinda sad for her, but at the same time strangely flattered because honestly this was a good looking guy. i may be straight, but still. so, my "prom" almost didnt happen then i was there flirting with a teacher, then i was being checked out by my ex's boyfriend. it was not the typical prom, but how many have this story?

[@viiviblomqvist8590]

Hi! Can you make this cahllenge: pick one of the houses EA build and try to make it look good only changing swatches. So no adding items or deleting. Hoping ypu try this one

[@jarrynsmith]

I've never had an issue with eco lifestyle at all (on xbox) it is hands down the best pack

[@0bservationis1]

I can't find any Sims KZbinr that does a review of packs only based upon the potential of lots. I am new to the game and I'd like to see which have the best lots for rural living. I assume the Cottage one?

[@janniegurl05]

I love all of the expansion packs. They are essential for me

[@ronjamacey]

After watching this i want to get more of them :D so my wallet says thanks Syd...

[@elelda_rani_storm2320]

The weirdest thing is that one time I was playing with a non-famous sim and Judith asked her on a date after meeting my sim ONCE. I was so freaking confused 🤣 Literally just sat there and watched the phone ring like 'tf happened to Judith???'

[@donnahannabanana]

I really needed some advice about what pack to get next. So thank you for this video. But then you rated Dogs and cats and seasons on 2nd tier and they are both packs that I have and NEED So I'm questioning whether I should take your advice. Lol, i still don't have cottage living, city living, or snowy escape, which of these should I get next?

[@kristena5825]

I definitely agree that I need both those packs too! I don't have Snowy Escape, but between the other two I think it really depends on how you play your game. I'll share my own experience with both packs, but it will probably be long so... TLDR: watch let's plays and look at items for both packs, then choose whatever fits your playstyle. Both are good for different reasons. (Just make sure you buy during a sale, because I don't think either one is worth $50!) Personally, I love cottage-core and cozy wholesome gameplay, so I would choose Cottage Living over City Living. The build/buy items in Cottage Living are really really good, I'm pretty sure I have used them in every single build since the pack was released. The gameplay is also fun, and the gardening gameplay is really enhanced with this pack. I love building seasonal homes, and it feels like the items and the world go really well with Seasons. I find I rarely play with apartments, and the build/buy and CAS items from City Living are very situational to me. That being said, if you really like taking your Sims to events or other social stuff the city festivals are really good, and San Myshuno definitely feels very different to the other worlds we have in The Sims 4. I really like fully customizing my builds, so I don't like building apartments because there are a lot of things you can't change about them (you can't move windows, change the front door, or move outer walls around. Some also come with items that can't be deleted, which I think is annoying. All of those things can be really interesting challenges though if that's the way you play. If you're a builder (like me) I would say to look at the items for both packs and see which ones you would use more, since both are good for different types of builds. Gameplay wise, watching let's plays is a good way to see if you would use/enjoy the features. Hopefully this helps a little, expansion packs are so expensive and I definitely like to do my homework before buying one too!
