I only have The Sims 3, and it's getting boring. so I'm planning to get an expansion pack. Which expansion pack do you prefer from World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations? and, if you could tell me, why?. sorry if this question was asked before, but I don't seem to find a similar question. I have the PC version but I don't think that makes any difference.
Thanks for reading, and please answer.
Answer
Each of the expansion packs include different things which may be better (or worse) depending on what sort of thing you're into.
World Adventures - allows you to travel to China, Egypt or France. While your sim is there, they can do quests, explore tombs, and buy vacation homes. While in your own neighborhood, you can also build basements & take pictures. There are new clothing items as well. You can also die by mummy or trap.
Ambitions - You get a new neighborhood, "Twinbrook" Adds new careers to the game (including some "skill based" careers). The new careers are Education, Architect, Doctor, Firefighter, Ghost Hunter, Private Investigator, Stylist (these are classified as "Professions"), Fishermen, Gardener, Inventor, Nectar Maker, Painter, Photographer, Sculptor, Writer (these are considered "skill based self employment" as the more you do it, the more you can sell your things for). You can also do laundry & get tattoos/makeovers. Death can come by meteor in this game. What I liked about this game is for some of the professions (firefighter, ghost hunter, investigator, stylist) you actually "go to work" with your sim and do things. You fight fires, or catch ghosts or give makeovers. I much preferred this to having my sim just disappear for hours a day.
Late Night: Gives you the new neighborhood "Bridgeport" which comes complete with bars, night clubs, penthouse suites, subways & elevators (you can add these locations to your existing cities if you have the room). Breast and muscle definition sliders are now in create-a-sim, and you can create groups and bands. Celebrities, Bartenders, Bouncers, Musicians, Paparazzi, Butlers and Vampires are now available. New jobs include Film (Acting and Directing branches) and Mixologist, Band (skill careers). You can become a vampire (and die of thirst if you are not careful), a celebrity (just by befriending other celebrities), a bartender by boosting your mixology skill.
Generations: Gives you new playground equipment, mid-life crisis, new interactions, new traits, Pranks, body hair for males, new types of celebrations (i.e. birthday/teen/bachelor parties, weddings), memories, graduation ceremonies, imaginative play, potions, spiral staircases, water slides, boarding schools (lasts from childhood to young adult) & pillow fights. Entertainers, Sexy Dancers & Imaginary Friends are introduced, as well as a "Day care Profession". This one gives you a lot more options if you are more interested in family dynamics within the sims. As you can see, there are more "life" things to do for fun within the family.
Of course Sims 3 pets is set to be released in October of 2011, so if you like pets, you might want to hold out until then.
If you're just looking to "Add-on" to your existing game without all the frills listed above, there are also the "add-ons"
High-End Loft Stuff = high end furnishings, televisions, gaming systems
Fast Lane Stuff = "Vehicle Enthusiast" trait, lots of car related stuff
Outdoor Living Stuff = hot tubs, fire pits, outdoor stuff
Town Life = New community lots (playgrounds, libraries, laundromats). Also includes an assortment of new items and clothing.

I just moved up north and need some beauty advice?
Just moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Philadelphia and am wondering if there are any helpful beauty (mainly skin and hair) hints to surviving the winter. I've got very sensitive skin, prone to blotchiness, and hair that is leaning towards the "fine" category.
Answer
â¢It is time to get out the heavy-duty moisturizers. A highly protective day-care cream with appropriate SPF is an essential barrier to protect your skin against the elements
â¢Creamy, water-in-oil emulsions are best as they hydrate your skin while also protecting them from loss of moisture in the cold winds.
â¢Chapped lips are most noticeable in winter. Use a moisturizing lip balm with vitamin E in it if you want to avoid looking like you have some dreadful, peeling skin disorder.Keep reapplying the balm with a chap-stick throughout the day.
â¢Exfoliate! Dead Cells tend to pile up in winter and prevent the moisturizer from getting to the healthy skin. The oils in the skin are being produced at a lesser rate than in summer and due to this, skin tends to lose water that would otherwise have been retained in the lower dermis of the skin.
â¢Dry skin can cause premature aging and fine lines can begin to appear in improperly cared for skin.
â¢Detoxify your system with plenty of water. If you feel it difficult to gulp down room temperature water, heat your water and take it with a twist of lemonâa sort of watered-down version of lemon tea.
â¢Everyone loves to cuddle up and sleep, burrowing under a pile of warm and toasty blankets while the temperature outside keeps dropping. Ensure you get your beauty sleepâ7 h is decent if you cannot manage the full 8 or the luxurious 9 h in winter nights.
â¢Sun protection is essential now as the outdoor weather conditions are such that moisture is invariably lost from the skin. Natural sunscreens featuring moisturizing ingredients such as aloe vera, cocoa butter and herbal oils can further protect your skin.
â¢Moisturize as frequently as possible. Indoor and outdoor conditions are drier in winter and alternating a heavier emollient with a lighter emollient can have your skin feeling cared for while not having to deal with the greasy feeling.
â¢Creams and lotions with Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic or lactic acid,can be effective in reversing dry skin and lines at deeper levels.
â¢Alternate different products every few days, for example, once a week, so that your body is exposed to differing levels of support and does not settle into a fixed routine that may not be very beneficial in the longer term.
â¢Dual-purpose moisturizers act by moisturizing and providing sun protection. Most of them also contain antioxidant ingredients which counter the free-radical damage caused by the winter sun.
â¢It would be best to avoid clay-based masks in winter as they tend to dry skin further in winter. Opting for masks that are specially designed for winter or for dry skin are ideal for winter.
â¢Natural soaps or herbal soaps with high fat content are good for the skin in winter as they care for dry skin.
â¢Tub baths should be avoided as they can cause drying of the skin and showers should be taken with tepid, not hot, water.
â¢Avoid vigorous and too frequent scrubbing with washcloths in winter as this can further damage and irritate dry skin.
â¢Apply moisturizer onto towel-dried skin immediately after emerging from a shower as this locks more water into your skin.
â¢While shaving in winter, use a moisturizing gel rather than soap and remember to moisturize your legs well immediately afterward.
â¢Rubber gloves will need to be worn while washing dishes or using harsh cleaning agents to avoid further chemical damage.
â¢Keep a bottle of hand lotion handy and apply after washing your hands.
â¢Winter time also sees the exacerbation or outbreaks of itchy skin or Eczema. Avoid the use of soap if this happens and try to use natural emollients such as olive oil or moisturizers with herbal oils such as tea-tree oil.
â¢If feet tend to be neglected in winter and need extra attention. Ensure that socks and shoes fit properly and dust your feet with non-irritating talc before enclosing them in socks and footwear for the day.
I wouldn't be TOO worried about your hair. Thick hair is actually worse, as it gets dried out easily. But just make sure not too wash too much. Buy shampoos for dry hair.
