Top 10 Best Sims 3 Expansion Packs

Definitely the best game of all the expansions. The developers really captured the a real artistic element of the city while allowing simmers to get fully involved in a variety of new activities. This expansion however like all the others lacks in something and in this one it is other life stages. Pretty much nothing is added for the toddlers and children although teens have a bit more to explore since they are treated as adults kinda. Apart from that it definitely gives a brilliant city style life along with many features as mentioned before such as vampires and celebrities, but also the amazing new features such as hot tubs and clothes. This and generations if you only can afford 2 are the must haves for game play.

I really enjoy playing late night because there is so much to do. You can become a vampire. You can become a celebrity. You can visit dive bars, dance clubs and high-end lounges. You can also live in an apartment or studio instead of houses. There is an option now to have a curved pool. There are also new places to *woo-hoo* in, such as the hot tub and elevators. I'm not sure if this is possible in other expansions, but in late night you can have twins or triplets. It is really fun, and especially when you have a lot of money you can buy all the fancy new stuff on buy mode.

I love how in this expansion you can get piano, bass and drums as well as guitar and start your own band. Also, the new town Bridgeport is awesome because it is a city and you can live in an apartment or high rise (houses are still avaliable too). There are a lot more outfit options on offer for teenagers upwards and there are a lot more mansions than the other towns to live in. Also, playing as a vampire is awesome because you can build skills faster at night, move faster at night, raid storers and hospitals for plasma fruit and live on blood boxes and plasma fruit. I would definitely buy this!

This is a great view on how life in the city is like! Your Sim can earn celebrity points and get free gifts just for being a celebrity! It also comes with amazing new furniture like hot tubs, bars, etc... You get gorgeous new hairstyles and clothes so your Sim can fit right in! Your Sim can be transformed into a vampire by a close fang friend, so you can experience what its like to rely on the moon as your only light. All-in-all, the Late Night expansion pack is definitely one I'd recommend!

The Sims 3 Generations is by far the best expansion pack there is. Don't waste your time with zombies and witches and all, just look right here and--voila! --behold the only expansion pack you need to have your Sims live their life to the absolute fullest.
Toddlers can now ride in strollers--it's so cute!
And teens can do things with chemistry--awesome!
Elders now can talk on and on about how amazing grandchildren are--so proud!
Children can now play pretend and dress up in cute little costumes--adorable!
And their parents get to watch their children growing up and changing into the best person they can be...they love every part of it, except how their teens just can't get the hang of learning to drive that car! Well, they'll get it eventually!
Sims 3 Generations is the best expansion pack of them all. Rise above greatness and download this one today.

I love generations because of the endless possibilities! Your family can actually keep on going for generations! Without generations, your sims (usually children) don't have as much fun and they usually do quite pointless things. Generations gives you the chance to make your kids go to boarding schools, join clubs (which gives you extra skills), have imaginary friends, be prom Queen/King, and it gives an excellent new job! Babysitting! Generations has endless possibilities, and endless fun. Play pranks on adults, become a rebellious sim, who cares about rules!
I would get Generations if you would like more of a family life.
If this sounds good for you, I recommend Generations to you!

I absolutely have fallen in love with the Sims 3 Generations Expansion Pack! Were you seeking to improve your people's family way of interactions? Thanks to Generations, everything having to do with that is improved!

Want to teach your teens how to drive a car?

You've got it!

Want an AWESOME park for toddlers and children to be taken to to have an absolute blast?

Yep, that's Generations.

Want tree houses, slides, mini-playgrounds, and more to be added to your Sim's store for you to purchase and have in your own backyard?

Yep, generations has it all!

And not to mention the doll that your people can use to make Imaginary Friends with that only they can see, unless you make them real!

One of my favorite things about Sims 3 generations would be the fact that there are more options in the interactions menu.

Did those rebellious children of yours stay out after curfew AGAIN?

Well, now there's more ways to scold ...more

! I have seasons, university life, ambitions, world adventures, late night and generations.. I find that these expansion packs go together best.. I especially like World adventures with generation cause, sometimes you just need a little vacation with your family.. Or a honey moon, with your newly wed.. Also ambitions goes with this, because of laundry.. I find it hilarious to have a stay at home mom, and have ambitions in your game... My sims, constantly have to do laundry, and the mom, is always so stressed, I find it sooo realistic... Seasons goes well with any game, especially Generations, because of the parties, and Christmas is a day about family... I always have a big family dinner for Christmas and Thanksgiving in my game, I have a huge family, and they're all so cute when together... I especially like when sims die, not in a bad way, but because of generations you can have funerals and with seasons, it's more likely to rain on these days of celebration of life. I've already ...more

This is definitely the best expansion pack for The Sims 3. It gives you seasons and weather changes, which are not included in the base game. I really enjoyed the Seasons expansion pack for The Sims 2, but this is even better. It gives you a range of activities depending on the weather which is really cool. It allows you to partake in festivals depending on the season, you can go trick or treating, play in the snow, go snowboarding, swim in the ocean and lots more. In my opinion, this is the best expansion because it supply's you with a realistic view on the seasons.

This expansion pack is the most in-your-face when it comes to what it adds to the game. Weather has a great effect visibly and audibly, it affects your Sims in a variety of ways big and small, and it changes the landscape and the range of activities that can be done as seasons pass.
The new objects and clothing category are also big additions. From ice-skating to jumping in puddles to catching snowflakes on your tongue and using umbrellas to ward of hail, this expansion pack has a lot to offer!

You definitely should get this one, it adds seasons (DUH)! Tired of it being sunny all the time? Getting bored with the plain old sims game? Then you should definitely get this one! It adds lots of stuff! It can be snowing, raining, hailing and MORE! It also adds all of the fun holidays we love, Halloween, Easter, Christmas (or Hanukkah). It also adds a festival, that has lots of fun activities, snowboarding, skating, picture booth, hot dog eating contest, and more! This is certainly one you should get.

I really want seasons so badly! You can have holidays, season festivals, and your sims can become ill from winter. (which I think is a realistic feature). Plus if you have University Life you can get a spring break! And your sim can die by getting struck by lighting, freeze to death, and I think you can get heatstroke but I'm not sure. Plus there is new objects, two new traits, and new clothes!

The really cool thing is when you get twins, and say, for an example if the mother was a witch and the father was a vampire, then one of the twins would be a witch and the other would be a vampire. There is also a new skill to learn: Alchemy, a powerful craft for making mad experiments with strange elixirs... This expansion really delves in with supernatural creatures, involving special powers and furniture for fairies, vampires, genies, ghosts, witches etc. This game would be a great addition to your Sims 3 collection if your hoping for a special kind of a creature and new and fun activities fit for them!

The best expansion pack so far. I love everything about it. You can be a witch, a fairy, or a werewolf, vampire, ghost, even genie. You can marry another supernatural type and the offsprings have 50-50 chance of being each parent's type. It adds zombies on full moon, adds lunar phases, new moodlets, alchemy skill which is great, you can hunt for stuff and mix potions. If you have enemies, you can totally change their life for worse with a single potion, even make them toads. I once converted all simbots to toads, it was so funny. I love genetics in the game, new clothing, new stuff, each supernatural type has at least one special skill added specifically for that type, and you also get new traits like supernatural fan or a skeptic. And now imagine if one is a coward and you put them into a graveyard full of zombies on full moon. Nice. I really love it as it adds tone of stuff and new options and conversations. You can literally live as another life form. That would be the number 1 for ...more

This is a very fun game because you don't need to buy all of these dumb expansion packs just for one thing you want. You can get this and say you want to be a vampire, you can still be a vampire and if you change your mind, you can be a werewolf, fairy, ghost, zombie, whitch the only sucky thimg about it is that it lists genie but you have to have a certain expansion pack for it. And if you like zombies, well lets just say they pop up every where. They pop up in your front yard, back yard, and even out in the town and at neighbor's houses. Don't freak out if you see one of your sim friends are zombies because sometimes they just use random people for zombies. If you want to be a zombie, then I would suggest to stay outside and stay near zombies. If it says zombie attack on your to-do list than you may become a zombie. I don't know because every time it says that for me I usual delete it and run into my house. If you live on the beach in moonlight falls then you will get a ton and I ...more

The Sims 3 Supernatural is clearly by far the best expansion pack.

1. The Sims 3 Supernatural adds 6 new life states (Witch, Werewolf, Zombie, Ghost, Fairy, and the Genie. )

2. New skills and ways to socialize.

3. TONS of new objects

4. You are able to still enjoy the game without the fear of turning into a Zombie buy using the supernatural population control with the mailbox

5. BONEHILDA: the maid and babysitter you need to pay only once for! ;)

6. Spread the supernatural! Transform your neighborhood citizens into vampires, werewolfs and zombies!

7. Witch Duels! Test your spell-casting in duels against other witches, AND you never get harmed!

So overall, The Sims 3 Supernatural is a MUST HAVE!

I love this expansion, with a juice peg, a bonfire, and many other ways to party it allows you to have on fun night. Another neat thing about this expansion is you can do laundry, have a social status, and have your own smart phone. The smart phone allows you to take pictures from your sims point of view and even text friends. There are three groups jocks, rebel, and nerd, Although they don't define your sim it gives them other capabilities such as doing your school cheer, quizing other people, and doing graffiti. If that isn't cool enough the campus is amazing! It includes a coffee shop, a comic store, a diner, the buildings, sororities, houses, and dorms.

Short, cute little story

My two sims, Claire and Oliver Peterson, are the children of the billionaires Tiffany and Mark Peterson. The two kids were raised well and had a lot of skills Claire was more musically and artistically inclined and Oliver was logical and more handy.

They got full scholarships and went to Uni as YA Claire was in Fine Arts and Oliver in Science and Medicine .

Oliver became apart of the nerd social group and was a total outcast. He talked rarely to no one and just played video games and studied in his spare time alone in his dorm room.

Claire got caught up in boys and her hormones and ahem...let's just leave that here...

After a while, a guy named Terrence at the comic book store started talking to Oliver and the two became instant best friends. They would study together, play video games, hang out, and participate in science projects.

Claire finally accepted a guy's constant beg to go on a date. They had nothing in ...more

This EP is amazing! Very first one I ever got. Now I have generations, which is probably my second fave, ambitions, which is probably my third, late night and into the future. love this game so much. I have one thing to add- PLANT SIMS! Have you ever wanted to have your sim jump into the ground to get hydrated? No? Well MAYBE THAT'S JUST ME THEN.

If you love the idea of choosing a major for your sims, reading nerdy comic books, going bowling, tagging walls with a little bit of spray-painting-magic, or just livin' in the dorms and throwing crazy parties, this EP is the one for you. Oh, and it bring laundry into the game if you don't already have ambitions. Amazing. A MUST HAVE!

It's an amazing add on to your game, all the other expansion packs you play for 4 weeks and youv seen all there is to see. But sims 3 university life always has something new minuite you think it's over. Go through all majors, have graduation, be a geek jock or rebel, meet new people, be any age, the new town, the local hangouts, throw crazy parties, live in a dorm, love in a sorority, rent out an apartment, New interactions, have your own backpack, have tests, sit on floor with laptop, New interactions with laptops. Study and so on. Live your own life.
And much much m or. This expansion is easily my favourite and nothing else can top it off.

The Island Paradise EP is one of the most graphically impressive expansion pack's of them all. My favourite addition would have to be the Scuba Diving, and the impressive detail the designers put into it. The sharks add an element of danger, and a new way to die! Another aspect of the Sims 3 Island Paradise I love is owning the resorts. It is amazing, and really actually gives you something to design to your heart's content. The only part of the Island Paradise I dislike is how slow the houseboats are- always buy an additional boat to get around!

I haven't got this game but seeing a lot of very enjoyable lets plays I think it is awesome. You can be s mermaid scuba dive, build a house boat, travel on the sea, build your own resort, be ba lifeguard, find and build on your own private island! Not to mention the cool clothing and furniture like the all-In-one bathroom meaning you can shower and use the toilet at the same time! There is also a new death too! Death by shark! And that's not even everything there is just so much more to discover with this game and it is number one on my to get list!

I was planning on waiting until the prices went down to buy this, but after reading reviews I couldn't wait any longer. It was worth every cent. I have this, Generations, Late Night, and Pets and I think this and Generations are the best by far. With so many new features and clothes, Island Paradise is definitely a must-have for any simmer. The only problem I have is that all the houses are kind of far away from the town, but that's an easy fix.

Haven't played it yet, but it sounds like a whole new unique world, and I can really picture myself as being some millionaire in a white suite, owning lots of 5 star resorts, having a mansion of a house boat and woohooing and skinny dipping with a different beautiful mermaid every night in a huge pool with a fountain. But I think the Islands name is a bit lame ( hah! That rimes! ) and I would rather change it to the Thirsk World Empire's Tropical Islands of Ultimate Power and Blissful Beauty, or something like that.

Are you looking for the best Sims 3 Expansion Pack out there? Well, look no further than RIGHT HERE! The Sims 3 Pets Expansion Pack has everything--and mean it...EVERYTHING--from kittens to puppies, from cats to dogs. Horses are also a wonderful addition to the family. You can create a pet for your household, or you can simply just adopt a pet from the shelter. But, if you adopt one from the shelter, hover your mouse over it first and check out their traits! Make sure that they're not destructive--otherwise they might chew, scratch, and/or destroy your furniture! Anyway, the good thing about creating a pet for your house is that you can determine what you want to pet to look like (you can make them pink, purple, any color you want! ) and decide what their traits will be. Recommended traits: non-destructive, loyal (for dogs), shy (if you want them to just communicate with their family rather than everyone else), etc. The Sims 3 Pets is a great expansion pack, and I recommend it for ...more

Sims 3 Pets is absolutely, totally, amazing. It is not just your average cat, or dog too. There are horses and geckos and chameleons and squirrels and birds and so many different types of animals! It also seems that there is a lot more stuff, not just things for your pets, too, there is things in it that seems they should belong in supernatural, but it is in pets! Things that should be in seasons are in pets! It is truly a lovely game! Also, you have the ability to find wild animals and tame them, and you are able to find wild animals that you can't tame, yet really add depth into the game, like wild deer. This expansion is one of the best available, and I would seriously recommend this game to a friend, family member, or even a random stranger who likes pets or/and the Sims franchise!

This is my favorite expansions because it adds pets! If you love animals, then you will love this pack. I enjoy creating whacky animals with odd colored fur. You can literally make my little pony with the new horses! The customization is unreal! In my opinion, the new world Appaloosa Plains is stunning while not being laggy! You can own a farm down by the river, or live in the little village near the town! It is very cool how you can train your horses and enter races for money! With all cats, dogs, and horses, there are so many options and traits to choose from! Make sure to discipline your pets for being bad and encourage them to be good, so that they can gain or loose certain traits! When I am creating pets, I usually give them the non-destructive trait so that they don't destroy my house! Trust me, if your simm is busy, when they come home from work they will witness a very trashed house, as they can destroy anything from chairs to beds. This is why if you have a working sim it is ...more

I would say this is the best one. It sounds small, I know. But it expands the game into more of a challenge, also giving alternate ways to live! Like for example, you can live on a farm with horses, dogs and cats, or just simply put a cat into your average family. It gives a challenge in the way that you have one or more extra family members to take care of, with different traits and needs than Sims.
I myself have a 4-person family with a cat and a dog. They add an "attraction" to the kids and lonely Sims, give me something to take care of at night and just generally make me happy as an animal lover.
Definitely recommended. =)

The Sims 3: Ambitions introduces new career opportunities and control mechanisms into gameplay. Manipulation of Sims' career progressions, actions and interactions during their working are feasible. Additional career pathways introduce a diversity of skill sets available for acquisition. These features, which were absent in The Sims 3, give players greater control of their Sims' career pathways, choices and lives

Although I would've voted for Late Night, I just simply can't let this expansion pack fall at number 8. The jobs it adds are fun and a nice change to staring at a building while your sim(s) vanish inside. It's a must buy, even if it isn't your favorite expansion pack, because the new features really add to the gameplay and I can't see myself playing without them.

You can never get tired of this expansion pack. You just can't. I don't think I had ever had as much fun playing The Sims 3 as when I got Ambitions- there is just so much to do! Careers have become one of the highlights of my every game, really. The possibilities are just endless with this one!

! So awesome! You can be a fireman! Like seriously! There are other proffessions too. If you're bored of just sending your sims to work then this is the expansion for you! You can pick a profession like a Doctor and actually go to the house and heal the sims or you could be mean and give them the wrong medicine. I don't know. So good though!

The expansion pack focuses on travelling to various areas in a manner similar to previous expansions The Sims: Vacation and The Sims 2: Bon Voyage. Sims are able to travel to simplified versions of France, China, and Egypt. At these locations, sims are able to participate in adventures to earn rewards and benefits. Sims are also able to level up in new skills: photography, martial arts, and nectar making. In addition, the expansion pack provides new objects, socials, wishes, and opportunities

This is an absolutely wonderful expansion pack. I feel that it's really the most unique in layout and feel from the base game town and you receive three worlds to explore, compared to the single locale in other EPs. There's a nice element of goal based gaming that you can take or leave thrown in as well. Plus, since it takes up zero base world time, you can go to Egypt on a single day off and make some extra money "exploring" tombs and doing quests to supplement a young Sim's day job and to pay for the trip itself.

I. Love. This. Sure it takes up far too much space, but the uniqueness of it is just amazing. So far from the expansion packs I've noticed, a lot of the so-called new features are really just rabbit holes. On one hand I like them 'cause it means that slower computers can handle them, but on the other I don't because it's a lot of money wasted on very little. But World Adventures is actually about you doing things that you can see and control. It's awesome!

Stunning expansion! I've played it all summer 3 years ago, and it was the best experience I've had with sims. And if you match it with Seasons you can take a dip in foreign worlds' rivers. And the most fun moment is tomb exploration. Though latter expansions add a bunch of what to do at home, I always find time to travel. If you love adventures and beautiful scenery, then go for it.

A bit weak in my personal opinion. If you like rising from the bottom as a Singer, Magician, or Acrobat, then it will be for you. However, it is a bit exclusive to what it's trying to do. Plus, a lot of the items are blocked by the SimPort system. If you don't have friends on TheSims3.com, well SOL. At least there are Genies and special interactions with each career. I mostly played as the Magician, so I can tell the story of a Stage Magician rising to become a Wizard. Speaking of Wizard, if you have the Supernatural expansion, you can make Genies in CAS.

This expansion pack is by no means the best, simply the one that doesn't get boring easily. Tired of your 'normal' job? Become a singer. Tired of being a singer? Become a magician. Tired of being a magician? Who cares, there are tons of things to do, even if you don't have any other expansion packs.
It's simple and fun how you can have your sim easily start a family while having a job-- simple and a lot easier than the base game jobs!

It's very exciting when you have activities for your sims to do! And that's what showtime is. It might not be the best expansion. But that doesn't matter. Your sims can be famous, they can live in a new town called starlight shores, and ride in a limo. Your sims can be an acrobat, an singer, and a magician. There is a lot of surprises in this expansion!

I would really recommend this to people who will like to make their simmer rise to fame. Comes with 3 new careers there your simmers have the possibilities to get famous as singing, acrobatic & magican. Something I don't like about this pack is the famous people. They are pretty snobby & arrogant.

Although the stuff your sims can purchase from this pack are expensive, it's well worth the money. It looks amazing in any household and it matches because it's all new and high-tech like stuff you may get from the future without actually having to be there. (Nobody cares about you, Into the Future Expansion Pack! We all love High End Loft Stuff, thank you very much! )

This doesn't count. This isn't a real expansion; it's just a stuff pack.

This is one of the best stuff packs!

This one is the most amazing stuff pack there is and can possibly ever be! This gives more furniture (mostly for the parents...if you're looking for kid stuff, that's in generations, my favorite expansion pack! )
Thanks! Best one ever--get the grow-ups something SPECIAL for their awesome room, then get generations for their kids that they make... :0

This isn't a real expansion pack; it's a stuff pack. Wrong Top Ten.

This isn't technically an expansion; you don't need the disk. You have to buy it off the Sims 3 website and type in the code. When I bought Dragon Valley, I never actually got it to work because it didn't need a disk and the disk was just EA's version of a horrible money grab.

Dragon Valley is great to play with Supernatural, otherwise it's kind of weird to have non magic sims playing around with dragons etc.

I got this for Christmas one year; those dragons are pretty great.

Poor dragon valley... No one likes you

If you also have Generations, it's so funny to have the children watch their grandparents with a strange face as they boogie on the dance floor!
Your a weird-looking' star, grandma!

Stuff Pack; not an expansion.

We need this in Sims 4

I Love this expansion pack, you can buy pets and get them delivered to you house, then you can buy animal needs like hay, straw, beds, foods, and when your pets are dirty you can bathe them and this was my first ever expansion pack I bought and I don't regret it!

Personally, I think Pets is essential to ts3. Houses feel lonely without dogs and cats. the horses aren't really something I play around with that much, but I think this EP makes sims feel more fun and real. Even without owning a cat or dog, there are little things like deer and raccoons that just add more depth. and the cats are cute

I love making my cute fluffy pets, and I adore when my dog goes out to dig and brings me back Tiberium!

Still the same as the top!

Beside this is a stuff pack, it actually add something to the game

I think it's good. It lets you take your sim to college and meet other sims as well

This stuff is amazing and is a life saver!

Adds a great new world with new venues and plenty of new foods to try!

How is this not higher up on the list? Yes, it's only a town, but it a beautiful map with waterfalls and emerald green grass, all of the npcs have interesting backstories and best of all, it comes with The Fountain Of Youth! This is super good because if you (Like me) want the other sims in the town to age while your sims don't, you can! Just take a drink, and eternal youth is all yours! And yes, if you have Supernatural you can just buy the potion but not everyone is into that kind of expansion.

I have it but can't play it I'm so mad cause I can't get the game to start I need help
