The best sims 2 expansion pack and why?

Question

Ok, i want to get another Sims 2 pack and i own nightlife, celebration stuff, teen style stuff, Bathroom and kitchen stuff, Bonn Voyage, University, and Apartment life. I was thinking of getting Seasons or Open for Business, but i cant decide. i'm open to other suggestions too.

Answer 1

Seasons is my favorite next to apartment living.

I love that it can snow, and rain and thunder, grow gardens in the summer, make snowmen and play in the snow in winter. The plant people are fun, your sims are more sensitive though to cold and hot, they can get a sunburn, over heat and or freeze to death if you don't watch their temperature which will be next to the aspiration meter.  

I do have Open for business also. I never use much of its potential though. I am not all that into having my sim run a business. I did once make a small salon and coffee shop my sim ran from a small building on their home lot. ( so they didn't work away from home) and it annoyed me that even when I would make the doors say closed, people would still show up on my lot..

Answer 2

Definitely The Sims 2: SEASONS Expansion Pack. It makes your game much more realistic & it has weather such as snow, rain, storm & so on. Sims can also get sunburnt & get frozen if they're out in the cold.

There are also "creatures" called Plant Sims in The Sims 2: Seasons. The Open For Business has robots, it's not interesting. I think Seasons is the best Expansion Pack around.

If you still can't choose between them, then, try the YouTube videos below:

Answer 3

None of them! Wait until Spore comes out on 9/07/08!!!!!!

Answer 4

Seasons and Free Time are my favorites, and I have all expansion packs and stuff packs.

I love Seasons because of the weather changes.  It makes the game so much more realistic.  I also enjoy gardening.  You can put your vegetables and fruits into a juicer and make some interesting concoctions that increase your Sims' stats for a time (like make kids study better, etc.).

Free Time is great too because of all of the hobbies.  My Sim restored an old car and now drives it to work.  I like making pottery and building the train set.  My Sim also has a bug collection that's kind of neat.  For me, Free Time added a whole new set of things for my Sims to do at home, which is great.

Answer 5

i like sims university the best   and the sims open for business also

Answer 6

I have all eps and sps. I must say Seasons still trumps all of them. It adds so much to gameplay whther or not your sim leaves home. Theres weather, and the beautiful effects like snow, rain, etc. Each season has a benefit for your sim. In the fall, sims build skills and complete homework much faster than any other season. Summer allows for friendships to blossom faster. Spring is the time for romantic interactions to be more successfull and winter adds a boost to family relationships. Theres also fishing, which you can cook , sell or mount any fish you catch. Your sim can now garden and as he/she gets better, can plant more different types of seeds. You can sell produce, stock it in the fridge which gives a nutritional more filling boost to anything you eat, or you can stick the produce into a juicer. Different combinations of fruits and vegetables have added bonuses to your sims. For example, tomato juice warms a sim up, lemonade cools them down, etc. Your sims now have internal body temps so you have to keep an eye on them. This ep also added the ability to set a sims hairstyle per outfit. So, if there hair is up for bed, it can be down when theyre in their everyday clothing. Theres tons of new activities like marco polo in the pool, snowball fights, building snow men, snow days which gives kids time off from school, catching butterflies and fireflies in spring, and palying in leaves in teh fall. In my opinion, fall is the nicest as well as winter in the game. The snow is beautiful, and the sky in fall takes on a beautiful orange hue. The lightening and thunder is very realistic. Theres also a new neighborhood called riverblossom hills. The six new careers are lawyer, journalist, musician, gamer, adventurer and educator. I have it and love it!

Answer 7

Get open for business because its fun and don't make your computer get low stat, u know what i mean. Season, and pets make your sims 2 game slow down.

Open for business is fun and have a lot of new features additional to the game. Like the elevator and more. But in my opinion get them all.

Or you should wait fot Sims 3 Next year because the game will be great. MAybe the game will have alot of expansion pack in one disc and u would not buy any expansion pack anymore.

Definately Seasons! I have Open For Business too, but I never really use it much (apart from the furniture of course XD). UNless you are willing to try really really hard at expanding your businesses I say get Seasons.

You get snow and everything! Love it haha
