Title: NEED to know all about these EP's!
Post by: mizzhyphywifey on September 04, 2008, 02:14:32 pm
I have Nightlife and Bon voyage. I want to get another ep next week but I'm so confused, because I want them all. lol. but i can only get one now, so I want to know out of UNI, OFB, pets, Seasons, & Freetime (I dont want apartment yet) what are the pros and cons and what are your faves to least faves? I also want to know what useful objects and interactions there are, like i know seasons has fishing ans ofb has elevators, right? Thanks for all the help!! :happy8:

personally i wouldnt get pets or uni

as for the others it depends what your looking for

i couldnt live without the others
but the best features for each game are:
seasons: lots of family interactions E.g building snowmen, water ballon fights, gift giving etc
new carrers (law, music, gamer, education, adventure and journalism)
downside: not very many new objects
also obviously theres weather, fishing, gardening

for ofb
good:
lots of nice new objects (shelves, elevator, toys, robots, flowers (u need to make the last 3
new socials
i mostly enjoy the gameplay of ofb as i find it so boring just getting my sims to go to work then come back hours later with a pay check so with this one i have fun building up businesses and if you do it right you can get alot more money from this than any job
bad: if you dont like the idea of building up a business dont get it

lastly freetime
good: many new objects all of which i love (build a car, pottery wheel, sewing machine, trainset, toddlers activity table i could go on for quite a while with this list
hobbys and hobby related behaviour
genie
new self interactions i really enjoy
great new socials
novels and food contests are brilliant
bad: you will need the patch this thing is more bugged than all the other games put together (youll need 30mins to 1hr to download the patch(well idid anyway))

all in all if you have read all this post you have enough time on your hands to by all three
and if it was me i a) couldn't chosse and b) would go towards freetime or ofb

thank you so much for the feedback! that was a lot of help. right now im stuck between ofb and seasons. i love to take pictures and i need ofb for the magic tray thingy to place my sims anywhere. and i want eleveators. seasons, there are some awesome houses by elica (sp?) here on insim that require seasons. and i like that u can fish, and i want different weather for my pics. but besides pics, i want something that i will actually enjoy the gameplay like bon voyage. i love it. the beaches are beautiful, and i like the hotels, etc. but what do i know i only have that and nightlife.

i still want to know what everyone thinks! i just cant wait till i have them all and i can download anything.

I think you'd be better off getting OfB since you can download unofficial weather from various sites, I'm sure.  Or you could doctor the photos.

I use OFB and Pets the least of all my EP's, while I use Seasons and Freetime all the time.
But it really depends on the way you play your game, businesses just aren't my thing.

I have OFB.

I like the idea that I can lock the doors so no other Sims can get in my house.
