"Generations is great for generational game play."
"Seasons is fantastic for what it adds to the world (the first time it rained in my game I was SOOOO excited)"
"University Life fleshes out a specific period of time for ya-a sims which can be an excellent addition if you want to flesh out a sim's character"
"If you love family gameplay you should pick Generations."
"I found aquatic probably the best as it has a nice variety of animals and the faux rocks"
"Aquatic is really nice both for animals and building"

"I've been waiting for For Rent to go on sale, so excited to get that!"
"I love cottage living. Creating a farm business is really fun, plus the world is beautiful and I love the addition of “errands” and live stock."
"For 2. Maybe.. get to work or seasons."
"For 2. Maybe.. get to work or seasons."
"Cottage living as it added the most gameplay for me! I also love crafting and busywork, so enjoy taking care of farm animals and plants."

"I use landlord and investor all the time. 10/10 reccomend"
"I like the Black Market one, bc you can go to the art thief, browse the store (don’t buy anything), and once they kick you out, it gives you an option to watch an ad for a free piece of art and most of the time I always score art pieces that are worth millions."
"I mean you can achieve a zillion dollars with investment pack"
"Investor and Landlord are good, I enjoy playing with them"
"Landlord and investor are the two I use most regularly out of that list"
"Black Market and Land Lord"
"Investor and zoo would be my go too lol I love having my zoo"
"My vote is landlord and cult"
"I have all and I only use landlord and investor"
"Landlord, the only one I’d recommend"

Munchkin
4.4
(11)
"If you like messing with other players during combat you’ve GOT to get Munchkin Game Changers."
"Munchkin Pathfinder is the way to go, as others have stated, due to, the refinement of the expansion packs."
"Pretty sure munchkin 6 is where they introduced dungeon cards, which is my favorite addition to the base game."
"Really love it"
"The South Park one is extremely fun"
"We recently got the steed expansion and we love it"
"I really like “Something Fishy”"
"The mini expansions 15-30 cards are a good place to start. They're small, cheap, and have a lot of flavor."
"Any expansion for the base version (Munchkin 2-10) would be a good start."
"Both are hard to come by if you are just starting out."

Catan

"My favorite is cities and knights but for a first expansion to buy definitely go either SF or TB!"
"My first expansion was Seafarers, and I highly recommend that. It's simple to learn and blends seamlessly into the game."
"Cities & Knight for sure if you're considering new board."
"My opinion get seafarers first simple to learn gives lots of different maps to play on!"
"Get seafarers, play it maybe 5-7 times then mix in C&K."
"I ended up ordering Seafarers, but I’m tempted to order both because they are on sale."
"Recommend this one if you don’t want to add too much."
"Seafarers is very good if you want an expansion that doesn't add too much, but it adds enough to feel like it's effectively expanding the game."

The Sims 3

"Seasons, World Adventures, Generations, and (if your computer can handle it) Island Paradise."
"I always have ambitions and generations."
"Generations, Ambitions, and supernatural."
"Ambitions. It's been my favorite pack for a long time."
"I'd get generations or ambitions."
#7
Eternity Isle
3.8
(6)
"Eternity Isle because it has more content right now, the royal tool is more useful, and because of the ancient vacuums."
"Eternity Isle"
"I recommend just getting both to make them complete. Eternity isle was overall a great story, but I did enjoy Storybook Vale alot better in terms of design and the quests."
"Eternity isle will help with grinding, but both Expansion packs are a grind. Also if you like puzzles and mini dungeon then you will love Storybook Vale."
"Storybook vale for the characters and overall beauty but eternity aisle for helpful tools, like the ancient vacuums and what not"
"Eternity Isle because Storybook Vale isn't finished yet."
#8
Rift in Time
4.4
(5)
"Rift in Time. It came first in the storyline and the ancient vacuum is life changing in the game. It’s also a completed storyline."
"Rift in time. The vacuum is my best friend."
"I think Rift in Time is SO much better! Storybook is beautiful, but just less intriguing for me overall."
"Rift in time."
"I like RIT because it is complete and I like the contrast between the jungle and desert. You also get to make ancient machines that are fabulous."
#9
Upgrade Expansion Pack
4.5
(2)
"If you want to add just one new expansion to the game I would add the 'meaning of life' cards. They give you a secret goal each game which I feel really adds to the game."
"I’d say the 'Upgrade Expansion pack'. You get five expansions, four with traits and ages and also 'The Meaning of Life' which adds new mechanics (hidden goals)."
#10
Seasons
4.5
(2)
"I legitimately wouldn’t want to play without seasons, I love it so much!"
"Seasons impacts the game the most/get the moneys worth"
#11
Imaginary Ends
4.0
(2)
"Today, I think Imaginary Ends is the best one. Adds great artwork and fun gameplay."
"After that 'Imaginary Ends' although I’m not too sure about the Trinkets."

"Horn of the Abyss is a fan expansion AND quality of life pack for heroes 3 that is vastly superior to the official expansions."
