1 - Curiosity came over me.
2 - Curiosity took over me.
3 - Curiosity took the better of me.
4 - Curiosity took the best of me.

I'm not sure if the second sentence works here. Anyway, which sentences are more common in everyday English?
 
None of them. In BrE, we say "Curiosity got the better of me."
