What Sims 2 expansion pack should I get?

Question

I have:

University

Open for Business

Seasons

but I don't want a stuff expansion pack.

So, basically I want one of the following:

Nightlife

Pets

Bon Voyage

Free Time

Apartment Life

Please rank in order of how you like them, or just tell me which is your favorite.

Answer 1

Of all of those, Nightlife would be the best return on the investment, I believe. Pets is very niche, so if you end up not liking the pets, it adds literally nothing else to your game. I wasn't crazy about BV or Free Time, and I uninstalled them as soon as I started having problems with the SecuROM copy protection (it disabled my DVD burner without my permission). I imagine Apartment Life is coming with SecuROM as well so I cannot in good conscience advise you to buy it no matter how much it's going to add to the game.
