(I apologize if this thread is in the wrong section, which I think it isn't, though)

Which expansion should I buy next?

The options are: World Adventures, Ambitions or Showtime.

Which is your fav among the 3? Which would you buy if you didn't already have these and were limited to only buying 1 at a time?

The reason I made this thread is partly becuz I heard WA causes some glitches and in-game lag and regular freezes. Does this lag only applies to the neighbourhood/world(s) that comes with the WA expansion, or does it apply to the whole game/all worlds in the game? Is this negative info about WA outdated and since long fixed by EA in one of the patches? Is this what I heard about WA true at all?

Thanks in advance for your opinions and help :)

I'd go with Ambitions. Careers + Twinbrook is a hard combo to beat.

Thanks guys for your input :) I will read the thread.

EDIT:

Well I would very much like to get WA, I like the travelling aspect and the mummies :D but I heard a lot of negative feedback about it, like it makes your game lag more than normal and may cause freezes (only freezes that last a few seconds though, like the game hanging for a few seconds every now and then), don't know if those rumors are true though, or in what respect and to what degree they are true.

I have to mention that my computer by far exceeds the min. game requirements, but still.

Agreed.

Mmm, I would go with WA, but that's just me. The only thing I've ever really used from Ambitions is the laundry, and Showtime is fun, but I use interactions from WA more often.
My game does freeze occasionally since adding WA, but mostly it's when my simmies are exploring tombs, and there are a lot of little animations (there's glitter, and such). All in all, it's actually my favorite expansion.

Also, my game freezes more in my HOME hood, than it does in WA hoods. But that could just be my game, I have quite a few mods and a lot of CC. IMO, a lot of the negative things about WA have either been somewhat fixed by EA, or there are mods that will help out quite a bit.

The other way to go about choosing which to get, is see which one you can get for the cheapest ;)
