I agree with you! Showtime was kind of a flop for me. And I’m not big on supernaturals either but the expansion for this game is really good and Moonlight Falls is such a beautiful witchy world
omg i LOVE university!!! it’s so fun for me and i send all my sims once they’re young adults!!! there’s so many chaotic interactions and gameplay from it!!!
Island Paradise is so good when it works it makes me sad that it's so buggy, I love the owning a business aspect, same reason Open for Business is my favourite Sims 2 EP.
my favorite is definitely generations or Night Life. I don't own world adventure and others on the list. I love how versatile the game is and the cc is just immaculate; And yes, maybe the sims 4 looks better, but the sims 3 holds such a special place in my heart.
YOU.NEED.PETS. no seriously the pets are so cute and you could avoid the lag using NRAAS register and getting rid of strays, the pros are so worth it tho
i feel like world adventures has always been such a polarizing pack for some reason. people either LOVE it or don't care for it at all lol. it's been one of my favorite packs ever since i tried the midnight sun challenge.
Literally you need pets just for the WORLD!!!! Best sims would of all time I would live there irl. So gorgeous in all the seasons but super autumn vibes you need her. Also it’s the only pets pack in sims where you can control your pet so they can be semi independent. Horses are so cool too and I am def not a horse gurllll so
ahh the world does look beautiful and tbh i wanna do medieval gameplay like in that Praaven world and i def need horses for that 🤔 definitely need to consider getting it!!
@@NotMalcolm I really enjoy pets only in the sims 3 as they are smart autonomously but you can also queue interactions where as sims 4 you have to tell them to go potty and it bugs and then they poop inside or they will not eat until you tell them to and then run away cause they’re hungry. Sims 3 pets are actually fun and horses are OP. Literally only pets expansion I’ve ever liked and it’s in my HER tier for sure
I love the "Die kenne ich nicht" clip xD Seen it so many times and as a german I never realized at first that it was another language, that it was MY motherlanguage and thats halarious to me every time I see this World adventures was my first expansion pack. At first I was disappointed. I wanted to get late night for christmas as a teen and they gifted me world adventures. I really din't know what to do with this. But then I've spend all these years exploring these beautiful worlds. Exspecially sim china catched me. Also: Never had major lags from pets OR late night. Pets is a must have for me. I can't imagine my simworld without all these cuta animals anymroe. Because there are not just pets but wild animals as well. Showtime is my LOVE. But I think its mostly because of the world. Supernatural. I LOVE IT! But I like the supernatural sims to stay in their own world. So when I play in moonlight falls its all Fairies, werewolfs and witches. But in the other worlds... meh. Seasons is also a must have for me but yeah. should've been in the basegame from the start. But considering what Sims 4 is doing with their expansions and stuff packs... I guess it's ok. University is great... but that's it I think its great and I really like to use it from time to time but I don't really see a major benifit for the sims. They can get every job without higher education. It just lets them join in a higher job level. In germany we don't have to go to university to get a good job either. So I never experienced it. So it's kinda odd for me to let so many sims study in university... I really think htat's the only reason why don't use this pack more often. I never owned into the future myself. It just never interested me. I totally agree with island paradise. I was so excited when I first saw the trailer and wanted this pack so bad. I enjoy every minute playing it but the lags make it so difficult for me. With the traveler mod It now is a destination world for my sims to travel to an this fits just perfectlyy. Just having my newly wed couple flying off to isla paradiso in the middle of winter is kinda refreshing.
ahh it’s good to hear pets works well for you and doesn’t cause any lag !! tbh im thinking about getting that one after i finish this legacy challenge I’m doing. into the future i’m prolly still gonna keep off the list ! 😊
World Adventures where she BELONGS! It’s amazing how many people sleep on WA only to eventually try it and fall in love. I, however, have been obsessed with and singing its praises since the week it released! 💜
In general, I agree with your rankings. I have to say I love Pets, I think it does add to the game and its not just cats and dogs or even the horses, its all the small pets and finding them in the world, my sim went on world adventure and found a Chinchilla and while my adventurer was going through tombs his partner was always playing with the Chinchilla, just added something for me. Late Night honestly has a lower personal ranking, the most I do with it is put the professional bars in all my bar lots in all the worlds. For Isla Paradiso, I found a fixed save, a save where someone went in and fixed all the little things (some not so little) that was causing routing issues with townies and thats what made the game lag, its not a mod just a save file which has lots adjusted as necessary and that one family that was corrupted removed, also apparently when townies move their houseboat autonomously it causes problems and there is a mod to prevent that, so those two things the save file and the mod to prevent townies from moving the houseboat totally fixed Isla Paradiso for me.
ahh thanks for letting me know about the island paradise save file, that seems helpful! and i gotta try out pets at some point for sure i love the chinchilla story ❤️
Theyre not all my favorite expansions but I feel like the game is empty without: Ambitions, Late night and Generations The holy trinity if you will. For realism: Seasons, Pets and University is the holy trinity of realism.
Into the Future was the last pack I bought along with movie stuff? ( I forget that stuff packs name lol) but I honestly have never used the time travel game play and I only use the pack for the Engineer a Baby option at the hospital. It allows me to have same sex couples to have biological children without mods so it’s honestly worth having it installed. Costs 5k simoleons and you can either randomize the genetics like regular woohoo or you can totally customize the baby. Recently I did find out the Nraas Hybrid system does not work with that option so that’s something to keep in mind if you like playing with occult hybrids.
ahh yes i knew there was something about into the future i was missing! The engineer baby thing and maybe also the robotics (?) skill seem pretty good 🧐
@@NotMalcolm I’ve played with the robotics skill a lil and it’s super fun! Not something I’d do with every save but every once and awhile I have a Mad Scientist sim that goes all into either inventing or robotics
Im always waiting for your videos , you helping me about improve my english , learn more facts about sims and etc . Hopefully you will keep playing sims and taking those videos 🎉
The only reason I have Pets installed is because I want horses in my Victorian and medieval story worlds. Installing ITF seemed like a good idea at the time, but really the only thing I keep it for is the jet pack. The ITF clothes are mostly horrendous and I have to re-categorise them as not random if I don't want half the sims in my towns to be wearing them.
While I do not agree with all of your rankings, I do agree with most of your reasoning. I put Showtime in a category of its own, along with its sidekick, KPST: "WTF EA." They are the only dlc of Sims 3 that I choose not to own. I think Showtime should have been included with Late Night, and KPST should not exist (but it is my opinion). The only aspect that I would like to have in my game are Genies, but unless EA gives ST for free, they can stay in their dusty old lamps. As for Pets, that is another top tier for me (and yes, without NRaas mods, they tend to lag the game). I just love playing as Pets, having all the wildlife in game, and the smaller pets are jyst so much fun. I love a bit of fantasy in my game, Unicorns are just the right touch. I can also understand your hesitation for buying Into the Future, but as a fellow sci-fi fan, the futuristic content makes it top tier for me. The quests are fun (but can grow old to some players, however, being able to have proper futuristic items (combined with the Sims 3 Store World: "Lunar Lakes"), I can now build or download awesome alien planets, utopian/dystopian worlds or staight up apocalyptic zones! I do agree that Seasons should be in every basegame, as well as Generations, but like you referenced with how Sims 4 sprinkled out content, I cannot complain (at least both were jam packed with content)❣ I also place Island Paradise a little higher, but only because I downloaded Ella Charmed's fix, as well as use mods to maintain for the lag. Also, if you do eventually get Pets, it is best to turn off the Wildlife, if you want to play in the world (Especially horses, for they do not work well with houseboats). By the way, it is easy to add dive lots and piers in other worlds @acottonsock has a tutorial to help out if you are interested. My absolute favorite EP is Supernatural, but I am biased when it comes to horror and the occult. While most of the occults are enhanced from that of Sims 2, the only downside is you need mods for hybrids.
I agree with your list 100% So! I would put Pets in "Lucina's Hole" or "This Chair." You have to be ready to change the theme of your gameplay. Maybe like how supernatural works, but less impactful. And Into the Future in Luciana's Hole. Why? Because it's like World advantures- kinda- but it's only 1 world.. You can change the outcome of the future, but it's not a huge impact. I think of Into the Future as a spin off game. I totally believe both of the packs you don't own are better than both Showtime and University. Maybe try them out??
I don’t understand why people don’t like sims 3 pets. It’s one of my absolute faves, I could not play the game without it. Of course I love dogs in my household, but the reason this pack is a must for me is the wildlife roaming around in every single world. It makes the worlds seem full of life. Coming across wild horses is so beautiful, and it’s so cool when you’re in map view at nighttime and there’s a unicorn wandering around. I love the little critters crawling around, I love the wild birds and critters you can catch and keep. It’s a bloody great pack and I think people need to give it the love it really deserves.
This was fair. Recently removed university from my set up. I hate the social cliques. They are so annoying. It’d have been okay if you can quarantine that system to that world. University is too easy. Removed pets because of lag. Even with nrass still spawns a shit load of pets. Removed into the future. And world adventures. I just never seem to have time to go on vacation. It just seems like late game content. I love supernaturals and generation even though I feel like it’s a little light on content. Season is fun but the weather can make the game slowish at times. I have to say with everything there is a caveat. I know we say that a game doesn’t shouldn’t need mods, but the sims wouldn’t have been playable for me without them. The game has a lot of issues, and honestly mods saves it. I don’t know if I could recommend anything but generations to people who don’t use mods.
so true i agree WA can be late game content for sure and the seasons lag is fr the snow 😳 ur right mods really are essential idk if i could play without them
ITF and Island Paradise are the only EPs I don’t own for pretty much the same reasons as your criticisms - not interested in ITF’s features and IP being buggy and not versatile enough. Maybe I’ll get IP eventually 🤷🏻♀️. My Must Haves are Generations, Ambitions, Seasons, University, and Pets. I simply cannot play without them even if rain, wild horses and the mascot can be nuisances sometimes. Supernatural is top tier for me as well but it’s like a little treat that I allow myself every so often. I absolutely love playing hippie garden witches or evil fairies. 🖤🌿
Pets can make your game laggy, but I'm honestly surprised when people say they don't have it or want it. I always had pets irl and so do my sims, it's such a natural part of life to me that not being able to have pets would be the same to me as not being able to have babies.
You got me playing the sims 3 again I just got it last night.I had a crisis over installing and setting up mods but I think I got it figured out. I’d love to get the sims 2 set up but I think it’s gonna be a hot minute till I have the mental capacity for that. Im still having a hard time trying to make my sims look as luxurious as yours
ITF has a jetpack and a sonic shower that make things so much easier. If you like the Adventures, the jetpack will shorten your travel time to seconds.
I think my favs of the packs I own are Pets and Ambitions. Pets because you can train race horses and that's cool, and ambitions because of the new skills. I bought Generations only this week, so it might go up there as well, when I discover more about it. I bought Nightlife and Showtime at the same moment, so I'm not really sure what stuff comes with which pack xD The fame system is kinda annoying to me, because your sim often gets famous by just befrending their boss at work or something and then you have paparazzi following you xD
ahh i agree the fame system can be a bit annoying I had to disable paparazzi using nraas cuz they just hang around outside my house. i really like ambitions the skills are so cool!
@@NotMalcolm i turned fame off for my household in my current legacy when the paparazzi started to stand inbetween my sim and her fishing rod. Like, dude..
World adventures was my favorite pack it makes me tear up thinking about how much i miss it 😭 (but my macbook cant handle the sims 3 and dont have enough storage to do sims 3 and sims 4)
I love into the future for the lottery. Your sim can buy lottery tickets. I love thst foe my poor sims who hope to strike it rich. Without cheating the most I won was 50k I think and my sim got an enormous cheque lol.
8:00 Hello! A small tip here. If you hate lunar cycle and you own nraas overwatch, you can disable this disgusting, green shade/lighting using nraas mode❤
I just had to come back and comment again. I've been playing Sims 3, and doing a rags to riches with a pet. A burglar just came and stole the pets toybox because all that was on the lot was things for the pet and a tent that the sim was using. Good times. I really wish the dog had attacked the burglar but it was asleep and they only do that if they have the aggressive trait. But I still had to pause the game to laugh until I cried.
Im not sure what pack or packs have the insects added. I think the base game? But i know like the sprites, fireflies, and WA have some added unique insects. I love making stables and having additional property for horses, love collecting birds, lizards etc. Good video thanks!
I don't think I've ever agreed this much with a ranking before lol Bridgeport is hands down my favorite town but I can hardly even stay there for one generation. The routing is terrible and even with mods and "fixes" my PC just isn't a fan. My 2nd favorite world is definitely Moonlight falls but I don't play with Supernaturals so I rebuild the town and definitely keep the lunar cycles off. And I would play with the University pack a lot more often if it didn't take 100 years to load. The fun to wait time ratio is way off.
EA cunningly included at least one item in every pack that, even though I think I don't need the whole EP, I need it so I can use this item in my venue builds: professional bars from Late Night, the gem cutter from Supernatural, the Karaoke machine from Showtime, the food replicator from Into the Future, the cash registers from World Adventures, the bowling alley and barista bar from University, etc. My top packs are Ambitions, Pets, and Generations.
There's a very annoying bug when i play vanilla in Ambitions. Every single time my sim gets out to do whatever they get crushed by a meteor. So let's just say i never add this expansion to my gameplay
So hers my little hot take on your takes. World adventures: I tried to collect all the special unique artifacts. And I swear too god that it is impossible becuse some quest will never triger. And the quest somtime makes no sense. Like I want to explore tombs, not pick up a hobby in wine making. Generation: the fucking imaginary friend is the bane of my existence. Supernatural: I dont get the idea of giving you supernatural related life time wishs to turn pepole into supernaturals and then give you a town full of supernaturals. And werwolf townies being stuck as werewolves serasliy decreases the werewolf gene pole. Ambitions: active cares are fun, but get really tidus in a big household. Seasons: this one just is the best. Late night: this one just is the second best. University: social networking is not a skill that will make you super ritch, but it does let you socialize with that one sim whose on a different cycle then you. Island paradise: this pack is really great when it works. Showtime: acualy don't own this one. Pets: the world is perfect for a farming family, but the school/stadium doesn't play nice with generation. Many other worlds have this problem, but they usually have something else to do in theme other then family. Into the future: frankly gets too much hate. Has the best woman pants (the black spandex) for winter clothes. Unstable is the best trait in the game.
I own all the sims 3 expansions, but i REALLY wish i hadnt bought into the future. I like that you can make biological children for gay sims, and some of the character customization options are pretty fun for more avant garde sims… but thats about it. Everything else annoys the crap out of me lmao.
I agree with you! Showtime was kind of a flop for me. And I’m not big on supernaturals either but the expansion for this game is really good and Moonlight Falls is such a beautiful witchy world
Sims 4 wish one of their packs could flop like show time❤😂

World adventures was my favorite pack it makes me tear up thinking about how much i miss it 😭 (but my macbook cant handle the sims 3 and dont have enough storage to do sims 3 and sims 4)
I love into the future for the lottery. Your sim can buy lottery tickets. I love thst foe my poor sims who hope to strike it rich. Without cheating the most I won was 50k I think and my sim got an enormous cheque lol.
your style of making videos is unique, cheers
8:00 Hello! A small tip here. If you hate lunar cycle and you own nraas overwatch, you can disable this disgusting, green shade/lighting using nraas mode❤
I just had to come back and comment again. I've been playing Sims 3, and doing a rags to riches with a pet. A burglar just came and stole the pets toybox because all that was on the lot was things for the pet and a tent that the sim was using. Good times. I really wish the dog had attacked the burglar but it was asleep and they only do that if they have the aggressive trait. But I still had to pause the game to laugh until I cried.
What do you mean you don't have PETS D: Yess you missing the whole fricking gameplay !
Im not sure what pack or packs have the insects added. I think the base game? But i know like the sprites, fireflies, and WA have some added unique insects. I love making stables and having additional property for horses, love collecting birds, lizards etc. Good video thanks!
I somehow managed to get the game with every expansion and pack thing for like 70 dollars because steam messed it up lol
that’s a really good deal actually dang
Pets and occult packs top tear.
I don't think I've ever agreed this much with a ranking before lol
Bridgeport is hands down my favorite town but I can hardly even stay there for one generation. The routing is terrible and even with mods and "fixes" my PC just isn't a fan.
My 2nd favorite world is definitely Moonlight falls but I don't play with Supernaturals so I rebuild the town and definitely keep the lunar cycles off.
And I would play with the University pack a lot more often if it didn't take 100 years to load. The fun to wait time ratio is way off.
EA cunningly included at least one item in every pack that, even though I think I don't need the whole EP, I need it so I can use this item in my venue builds: professional bars from Late Night, the gem cutter from Supernatural, the Karaoke machine from Showtime, the food replicator from Into the Future, the cash registers from World Adventures, the bowling alley and barista bar from University, etc. My top packs are Ambitions, Pets, and Generations.
There's a very annoying bug when i play vanilla in Ambitions. Every single time my sim gets out to do whatever they get crushed by a meteor. So let's just say i never add this expansion to my gameplay
So hers my little hot take on your takes.
World adventures: I tried to collect all the special unique artifacts. And I swear too god that it is impossible becuse some quest will never triger. And the quest somtime makes no sense. Like I want to explore tombs, not pick up a hobby in wine making.
Generation: the fucking imaginary friend is the bane of my existence.
Supernatural: I dont get the idea of giving you supernatural related life time wishs to turn pepole into supernaturals and then give you a town full of supernaturals. And werwolf townies being stuck as werewolves serasliy decreases the werewolf gene pole.
Ambitions: active cares are fun, but get really tidus in a big household.
Seasons: this one just is the best.
Late night: this one just is the second best.
University: social networking is not a skill that will make you super ritch, but it does let you socialize with that one sim whose on a different cycle then you.
Island paradise: this pack is really great when it works.
Showtime: acualy don't own this one.
Pets: the world is perfect for a farming family, but the school/stadium doesn't play nice with generation. Many other worlds have this problem, but they usually have something else to do in theme other then family.
Into the future: frankly gets too much hate. Has the best woman pants (the black spandex) for winter clothes. Unstable is the best trait in the game.
I own all the sims 3 expansions, but i REALLY wish i hadnt bought into the future. I like that you can make biological children for gay sims, and some of the character customization options are pretty fun for more avant garde sims… but thats about it. Everything else annoys the crap out of me lmao.
i love your videos, you r so funny! ❤
Great Video! Funny as heck, even though I don't fully agree.
There are ways to incorporate Island paradise gameplay in other worlds, but you hace tu put it yourself un ther world
why are you funny
