Which pack is better, Backyard or Romantic Garden?

Archer_Girl

Most packs are 25% off today and I may buy one of these. Which one is better in your opinions?

Hello
These are links to guides to these stuff packs. They may help you to decide which pack that you would like to have in your game. I don't think though that stuff packs are included in the sale. I am sorry

Yeah, I think you're right now that I've taken another look. I really can't decide which I want.

Both packs have great items in them! Either of them would be great to purchase, and to use the items in your backyard ,and in the outdoors garden areas of your homes and venue builds.

I'd say backyard stuff with having the three gameplay objects. A lot more fun to have. All the romantic stuff has is horrible re-colours.

Backyard stuff is one of the better STUFF packs I've downloaded.

I can't build houses/lots worth a darn, so I didn't get the Romantic Pack because most of it just plants and things to decorate your houses with, and that doesn't interest me at all. I went with Backyard stuff. Slides are great and so are the wind chimes, the giant flowers that move, and pitchers or lemonade.

P.S. I am annoyed how EA/Origin never puts Sims 4 Stuff Packs on sale. It's always just the base game, expansions and game packs. I want the Luxury Pack but don't want to pay full price for it.

I say backyard stuff. Originally I wasn't that enthused, but the items you get, especially the interactive ones are more bang for your buck. I love hearing the windchimes, the water slide is really amusing, the summer drink tray is great for outdoor parties, the bird feeder sometimes has birds attack your sim (she had a special moodlet that made her angry LOL), and the decor in general I find cute (love the spinning flower).

Romantic Garden is not worth the price, IMO. The wishing well is fun, but it's left a lot of my sims upset more times than not. The decor is pretty, and it comes with a new lot, but I really feel if you can only buy one to get Backyard.

If you don't already have it, I also really enjoy Movie Hangout Stuff. The furniture is bright and fun, but also has pastel alternatives, I really enjoy all of the added discussions etc from the movies, the movies themselves are amusing to watch (they pay homage to TS3), and the popcorn machine pairs well with the ice cream machine from Cool Kitchen. I use Backyard Stuff and Movie Hangout Stuff together lately.

Sorry to ramble! Please let us know what you got! I can give opinions on all of the content released so far, if need be. Have fun.

Backyard stuff definitely.

Backyard Stuff is better, I think. The slides give sims something else to do, and the decor objectives are nice. I also like the chimes. Love the sound of them, just as I do in real life.

As much as I love Romantic Garden pack, there's a lot of decorations which are gorgeous! But the only thing your Sims can really "play with" are the Wishing Well and Fountain- don't me wrong they are pretty fun, and sitting together by the fountain makes for some adorable couples' pictures- but with Backyard stuff your whole family can enjoy the slides together which is nice. That said, I'm not much of a family player so I'm perfectly fine with the Garden pack I love it It all depends on you, really. But one thing that always helps me decide is seeing everything that each pack has in it, if I absolutely love MOST of the things I get it! Honestly, you can't go wrong either way

I would say Backyard Stuff I really love the slide, the whole family can enjoy, and you get a fitness skill from it im sure. I like the Wishing Well in Romantic Garden, but I don't use it a lot, I feel kinda like im cheating when I use it . I love the Bird feeder in Backyard stuff too!

Backyard because it adds bird feeders,lemonade,waterslides and windchimes.
