The Sims 2: Basegame + 8 expansion packs and 8 stuff packs (9 if you count the Holidays limited edition one).

PC: Life Stories, Pet Stories and Castaway Stories.
The Sims 3 coming out in June...
I find it irritating when people say it sold so much because of all the expansions and spin offs but are totally fine with Mario... Which has way more spin offs than Sims do.Also every product is unique and ADD new gameplay. This is essential.
Having only the basegame is boring and being able to have more stuff to do is always welcomed by Simmers. And no they can't include everything in the basegame. It already takes them over 4 years to do it, imagine if they were to include everything. Also it's called business. They wouldn't do as much $$$ if they did that.
Anyway, with that said, it sold very well and very much considering how many games they've made. And yes it is a big franchise, anyone denying this is very deluded. This game has one of the biggest community ever from modding the game to only talking about it. It's such a lie to say it isn't huge.
