I have Pets, but my computer won't run Sims 2...I got that for Christmas, though, but if I were to buy one of the Sims 2 games myself it would either be Nightlife or Open for Business.

My best guess would be open for business because this really adds some new gameplay to the series as the others are nothing more (IMHO) than over-priced exclusive item packs.

Agree with the above poster, exceptt on that all the other expansions are just items.
University added a new life stage and jobs.
Nightlife added an extra layer to the dating game and interaction in general.
Pets, well added pets.

And then theres the stuff packs, like Glamour Stuff Pack and Family Fun Stuff Pack.
THEY are just items.

But the rest add atleast something meaningful to the game other then some fancy new furniture.

Night Life. The date mechanism in this expansion is huge for advancing sim relationships and fufilling aspirations.

One thing that sucks though is that the expansions after University disable the University bonus career paths. No idea what the logic is there. You can download hacks to re-unlock them, but it's a bother.

university (which you have) is solid. it gets the new lifetime stage, the ability to have one more desire thingy (that spins around and all that), and lets you have better starting jobs and stuff.

nightlife is very key, it adds cars, the dating thing, and a new area to explore

open for buisness is very hard. it adds elevators, new ways to make money, new items and stuff, but i didn't like it that much. you also get a new area, bluewater villiage, or something like that. more NPC sims and so forth.

pets is, well, pets. you get another family member, but you don't have direct control over it, and need to buy a lot of new stuff for your house/dedicate alot of time to training it with a reward system. (hello b.f.skinner?) it is fun, and adds pets, so you are getting what you pay for.

seasons (i didn't get this yet, haven't gone to the store) gets you different weather, different sim reactions to the weather (inappropiately dressed, etc), and seasonal activities (gardening, fishing, snowball fight, etc)

I would get them all, but if you can only get one, i recommend Nightlife.

Open for business is by far the best... it's better for plays which want better and more realistic goals other than aspirational ones for your Sims... I like the general feel of helping your Sim run their own business too. :)
