The Best SIMS 4 Expansion Packs, Ranked Vishu Reddy | usagoldmines.com

I have logged a ridiculous number of hours on the Sims 4. Although the base game is great, the expansion packs that have been coming out year after year are what keep the game new and exciting. Downloading a new expansion pack always means new actions, items, and places to explore. I still remember when Get to Work came out and completely changed the time my Sim spent at work.

In honor of the franchise’s 25th anniversary, I thought I would take a trip back through my favorite expansion packs. Below are my personal favorite Sims 4 expansion packs up until now.

6. Discover University

This Sims 4 expansion pack has a special place in my heart, therefore I believe it is one of the best. As a current university student, I love living an alternate reality with my Sims. I was a big fan of the Sims 3 University Life expansion pack, so it makes sense that I liked Discover University, too. However, I will say that this pack can get old quickly. It took a long time actually to finish university, and whenever I played with multiple characters in university, it was hard to keep up with all of them. Living in a dorm is fun though, and your roommates are always characters.

5. Cottage Living

Okay, I know people really like Cottage Living. I like it, too, but not as much as some other packs that gave me things I really wanted to see in the Sims 4. Cottage Living was an expansion pack that I did not expect to like as much as I did. Features like growing your own food and cosplaying as Snow White, making animal friends really made the pack fun. This almost feels like a whole different simulation game.

4. Cats and Dogs

I love pets, so there is no reason I wouldn’t want my Sim to not have them. The pets in the Cats and Dogs expansion pack are very customizable, so I was able to make my Sims dog look like the dog I live with in real life. Also, the items that come from this pack are so cute! I’m obsessed with all of the cat and dog sweaters… and that one shirt that is giving Galaxy Wolf, LOL. All my Sims have pets, so this pack is a no-brainer.

3. Growing Together

Many Sims both young and old playing in and around a treehouse.
Electronic Arts

This is probably one of the most influential and best Sims 4 expansion packs as it completely changes the way you play, making all your decisions much more intentional. Growing Together adds much more nuance to the family aspect of the Sims. Getting milestones and having younger Sims with more of a personality makes the game more interesting. The social dynamics included in the pack overall make the game more realistic.

2. City Living

Part of me thinks this should be in the base game because you should be able to pick between a town and a city. I personally love living in an apartment and having interactions with my neighbors. A lot of the added build items in this pack are modern and become a staple even when building outside the city. Speaking of the city, San Myshuno is a great place to have your Sims live, with different festivals to take part in. Additionally, the social media career is a favorite of mine.

1. Seasons

My top expansion pack is Seasons, which I would also argue deserves to be in the base game, but regardless, it’s a great expansion pack. From weather to holidays to new activities, Seasons is jam-packed with features and additions. This is probably mainly because it doesn’t include a world. In my opinion, seasons add the most variety to playing the game. If you want to get an expansion pack, make it this one!
