The Leader of the Packs Poll ran between 13 April and 31 December 2008. The question posed was, "Which is your favourite Sims pack?" Thank you to the 933 people who participated. The results were as follows:

As you can see, Seasons was the runaway winner overall, receiving nearly one third of the total votes cast and more than twice the votes of FreeTime, which came in second place.

Of the 24 packs available, the 3 most popular packs between them received 55.7% of the total votes cast.

83.5% of the voters chose a Sims 2 expansion pack as their favourite pack, 10.4% chose a Sims 1 pack and 6.1% chose a Sims 2 stuff pack.

Two packs, Celebration! Stuff and Festive Holiday Stuff, received no votes.

Several packs were at a disadvantage as they were only released after the poll had already begun i.e. Kitchen & Bathroom Stuff, IKEA Stuff, Apartment Life and Mansion & Garden Stuff. However, all of these packs fared relatively well - perhaps novelty value may have put them at a slight advantage compared with older packs.

Of the Sims 1 packs, Makin' Magic was the runaway favourite with 50.5% of the votes cast for the seven Sims 1 packs. Vacation was the least popular Sims 1 pack with only 2.1% of the Sims 1 votes.

Of the Sims 2 expansion packs, Seasons was the clear favourite with 33.8% of the votes cast for the eight Sims 2 expansion packs. University was the least popular Sims 2 expansion pack with only 3.9% of the Sims 2 expansion pack votes.

Of the Sims 2 stuff packs, the IKEA stuff pack was marginally the favourite with 26.3% of the votes case for the nine Sims 2 stuff packs. Celebration! Stuff and Festive Holiday Stuff were the least popular stuff packs, receiving no votes.
