University Life or World Adventures?

[Sanfranman491]

I have Pets, Seasons, Generations, Showtime, and Into The Future. I'm enjoying the different playable areas of I.T.F., so I'm ready to expand. I narrowed it down to University Life and World Adventures, but no idea what's more entertaining. I intend to choose either Ambitions or Supernatural at another time, but today, it's one of the 2 I mentioned. I didn't include Late Night cuz to me, it's hard to have my Sims out late anyway, and it didn't seem especially different from Showtime. And Island Paradise has a thumbs down on Steam, and that's hard to do with such a popular series. So, again, U.L. or W.A.? Thanks

I enjoyed World Adventures much more.
University Life feels out of place to me, I don't feel that it is integrated smoothly enough.

most people will probably tell you university however i personally like world adventures more (WA is in my top 3 sims 3 packs)

WA comes with the martial arts skill which is my favorite skill to level in the sims 3, i also really enjoy going to the various worlds and exploring the tombs (egypt is my favorite of the maps)

also when it comes to deciding on a new sims pack always give LGR a watch to help you decide

I was mentioning, that I'd get either University Life or World Adventures at this moment, before the other one later on. THEN
....after some time , choose again between Ambtions and Supernatural. However, today I discovered they're all 50% off, so I purchased UL and WA at same time. And btw......I don't own any stuff packs. I'm actually surprised they're same price as a full expansion. I wonder if any of them are worth the price.

For the stuff packs they are so well integrated in game that I can't say for certain what comes with each SP, not even what is included in the basegame or not making it difficult to have an opinon. Sometimes stuff pack items are included in a later expansion.
Look at the detailed description of the packs on internet, it is the best to do. I think I like the one with the cars and the loft stuff, but to be honest I only regularly use 1 or 2 items in each SP, so maybe it is not worth 10 euros.

Now that I have them all I would not remove any but if it was to buy them again I would certainly pick only some and I would instead buy some store content with the money. Store content is more interesting than stuff packs but it must be bought separately.
if I had to buy the whole game again I would even prefer some store content to some full expansions,

Edit : I just see Katy Perry SP is not included in the sales, too bad. It is probably the one I use the most. But all this sugar could give you diabets and dental caries

Both are enjoyable, so I suppose it probably comes down to how you want to use them. Neither are what you might think of as "everyday" EPs like Seasons or Ambitions or Generations.

I think WA is a bit easier to take since you can either treat it as a short vacation or treat it as a full-blown adventure in three different neighborhoods, or something between those two extremes if you wish. Uni, on the other hand, is a bit of a grind with keg parties thrown in. I probably use it more often the WA. In fact, my most recent household is currently at Uni but it's been a year or perhaps two since anyone went abroad. WA is great if you're into collecting and a bit of puzzle-solving while Uni lets you skip a couple or career levels after you graduate and also opens up some additional careers if you skill up with the social groups (Jocks, Rebels, and Nerds).

If I had to pick one, I'd probably come down on the side of Uni, but since I have both, it's really a question of which is more interesting to you. Both are intended to be a break from the normal gameplay, they're just different kinds of breaks.

Get supernatural and late night if u really wanna enjoy the game
