Being enthralled with this strangely obsessing game since discovering the Deluxe edition a few months ago, I was looking for a way to expand it after having installed Hot Date. Someone recommended House Party and then I discovered this expansion collection that also had Unleashed and got it. It was the best move I could've done to add to my gaming.
House Party may not be the best expansion ever but it is fun and it adds a whole lot of objects to the Sims. Also, I've gotten the chance to see them do things I never saw them do before such as dance country music, rap, do the hula, crazily shake their groove things in dance cages, watch intently as an entertainer pops out of a cake, ride a mechanical bull (and be knocked off onto their butts), and go completely berserk when Drew Carey's limousine appears at the party (he's nice, he stays and talks to all the guests). It may not be as ample as other expansions but I'd say it's definitely worth it.
Unleashed is a whoooole other thing. This may seriously be the best one ever. I had a feeling it would be just a cute game to get for the pets (I'm very keen on all dogs, even computerized ones) but it ended up being the expansion I enjoy the most. If you don't care for the pets and taking care of their needs or planting a garden (Actually, none of my Sims plant yet), get it for the new and improved neighborhood and the ability to build houses without families living in them. Yeah, that's right, you now have 40 lots to play around with! This is the best feature! And yes, you can go into the prebuilt houses, furnish them, change them or even build your own on the vacant lots and have them ready until you want to move in a family. Oh, and did I mention there's 5 new career tracks??
I could definitely go on and on about this but I'll just leave it at this, I don't think I could've gotten an expansion collection that's more fun and added sooo much to my gameplay. For that alone (as well as everything else), I recommend it. Also, no technical problems getting it to work even though my computer is fairly old.
Party and pets

I've played both of these games and they're a lot of fun. I personally like that you can have pets and its cool 'cause you get more and more cool things for your house. But you stay up late playing it, so you might say it's addicting, but it really isn't(you just have to be forced off the computor, though).
two great games in one package!

When adding this game to the deluxe edition it makes the game so much better. Since I bought this game, I have not stoped playing it.
