I have all five Expansion Packs. In fact, Pets is my favorite.

I can't vote.  I play base game, ambitions, generations, and pets.

I don't use the pets expansion though even though I have it. Same story with Sims 2.

Almost there.. I kept uninstalling Pets in Sims 2 and now I'm on a verge to do the same. If I see a horse wondering around town center or in front of a night clubs,, or a deer destroying my perfect garden one more time, I'll unistall it >:(.

Other than that, I have all of them.

I've just got Ambitions (which came with the base game). I'm too afraid to add any EPs given my existing issues. I know that was murder when I did it in Sims 1 (which was fine on my old laptop until I added one EP too many). I actually had a few in Sims 2, but I'm thinking that won't work for me with this one. I do miss having seasons, though, which Sims 2 had. The weather should change, darnit.

I play with all of the expansions. Pets is my favorite. I like the cats, but haven't played too much with the dogs or horses yet.
I lost interest in Sims 3 for a while until I found out about the Pets expansion. I saw the commercial and decided to catch up on all the expansions. I bought Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, and several stuff packs in one go. The only thing I was disappointed about was that you can't make "animal" people, like the dog-person in the commercial. Oh well. Maybe I'm just weird that way.   ::)

I play with all of them. Late Night is my favorite with Generations being a close second. I like Pets, but my Sims don't really own pets besides the smaller ones you find in the world. I got solely for that purpose (horses are nice now that I think about it), but I never skip out on an expansion even if I'm not to thrilled about it's content because eventually they grow on me. Ambitions is a good example of that. I didn't buy until after I got Late Night and I hated it, but after a while it grew on me.
Patiently waiting for my Hogwarts letter. It'll be here any day now.

I like all the expansions, they make the game very interesting. They only thing I would like to get rid off without uninstalling the EP is vampires and celebrities. After a couple of generations almost all of the town is either a vampire or a celebrity  >:(

I also have all the expansion packs. Mandier, I agree with you about the vampires. Wish there was a way to keep them out of the game.

Pets, Ambitions and Generations here.

I originally bought the base game plus Pets bundle because I have the Animal Lover trait IRL so if I was going to test this game it'd have to include animals. Predictably, it's my favourite EP of the three I own. I'm half-tempted to get Late Night and World Adventures because so many user-creations require either or both, but that is all I'd want them for and that is a bit expensive. If I want action and adventure, I play games properly designed for that, and can't stand vampires, rumors and camera-wielding stalkers and worry they would just kill my enjoyment of the game. :(

I have all the stuff and expansion packs except Master Suite but the only EP I don't play is Pets.

When I first installed Pets it worked fine for a while and as the game aged, it began to crash.  I read tons and tons of posts on here on different methods people used to resolve their crashing, but I haven't yet been willing to stop playing long enough to troubleshoot my game.

Pets was cool though, I befriended a Unicorn!

Hi

May I offer a suggestion? Instead of having so many choices, why not change the poll to <Click all that apply> then add each game seperately.  id est;

The Sims 3 (base game)
The Sims 3: World Adventures
The Sims 3: Ambitions
The Sims 3: Late Night

et cetera and so forth.

You could even add in the 'stuff' packages(which to me are just small expanions..if it costs real money it's an expansion, I don't care what they want to call it..it's an expansion! :P ).

BTW, I play the base game along with Ambitions, WA, LN, Gen and Pets. No Showtime for me yet..maybe this summer. Also I don't have any of the 'stuff' packs. I may pick those up this summer as well. We'll see.

I don't know if I ever did the pole but I do see I didn't even talk about my expansions. I see to just be trouble maker, Pam. I'm sorry.

Ok I have all the expansion packs. I technically don't have Showtime yet though it is sitting on my coffee table. I ordered Showtime from EA to get that radio but then they messed up my order. So I bought it from Best Buy. Now they decide to charge me again and have sent it and they won't refund me so I'm going to return the one to Best Buy. Hence not opening it.

I actually don't have all the worlds yet. Still hesitant on Barnacle Bay. But can't wait to check out Union Cove and Hidden Springs and that other one one Sims 3. I can't think of the name. I am doing my best to hold off on opening the game until I have my Showtime EP. Officially.  ;)

I uninstalled Pets recently because I wasn't using it and it was just a waste of space for me. Now I play World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations and Showtime. No stuff packs.

Edit: No such option I see. I think it would be better to remake the poll the way Rathamon suggested.

I didn't think about the space these take up. I don't use World Adventures at all. I try to but there is so much to do in the game with my family that I haven't had a chance to do any traveling.  :(

I like the vampire parts of Late Night but I don't use the neighborhood. I think I need to consider "downsizing."

I have all the expansions packs, right up to Showtime (not trying to brag or come off as arrogant) and I just bought the Hidden Springs neighborhood from Wal-Mart last weekend. I think I'm addicted, but I can't help it. Sims is my way of escaping stress and real life.

I have all the EPs up to and including Pets! I was able to reinstall Pets after I got my new laptop that can run it properly. I'm getting Showtime for my birthday. :)

No one here would think that you're arrogant just for owning all EP's! Alot of folks do. I actually do too, my Showtime should be here Monday!  ;D Welcome to the forums too, everyone here is an addict for one reason or another. Similar to you, my sims are normally all 100% different from me and sometimes I'm not the nicest person to them lol, but all in all they are my babies and I love them.  8)

If stating you have all EP's is being arrogant, then quite a few of us are. I have all the expansion packs, all the stuff packs plus Riverview, Barnacle Bay, Hidden Springs and Lunar Lakes. As for what I play, I don't think I play the features of any one EP more than the rest. I have some Sims that have careers, some who go on vacations, some who have pets. I play a bit from them all.

Well, the thing is, I mentioned it before to someone (not here, real life) and they said I was bragging and "not everyone has money like me". I wasn't bragging (and I don't have a lot of money). I was just excited because I was getting Showtime and that meant my collection would be complete. I don't have Barnacle Bay and Lunar Lakes, though.

Kaye, I wouldn't worry about them and I don't think it's bragging either.  And I just don't think it's cause I'm in the same boat at you owning all the EPs and SPs too.  Sounds like that person just may have been a bit too sensitive about the whole situation too.
