How would you build YOUR bundle?

I noticed recently origin has added a feature that allows you to build your own bundle, which is cheaper than buying the games individually, consisting of an expansion pack, a game pack and a stuff pack. Let's just assume you can afford it, (I know I can't) so what would you put in your bundle? Oh, and if you're lucky enough to already own all of the packs, just tell me your favourite game out of each category.
Expansion Pack: Seasons
There's no competition, this pack would add the most content to my game, it just looks incredible.
Game Pack: Jungle Adventure
Although exploring the jungle for treasure sounds exciting, I do think I'd get bored with this aspect of the pack pretty quickly - the reason I'm choosing this pack is because of the content, I love building and I think this pack would allow me to build in different culture styles.
Stuff Pack: Vintage Glamour
I'm not really a fan of stuff packs, and I would never buy one by itself, however if I were to choose one I'd go for this one just because butlers - my rich families could do with a butler in their mansions.
So now it's your turn, how would you build your bundle?

Late Night: Get Together + Vampires + Bowling night

City: Ctiy Living + Spa day + Laundry day
Pets doesn't seem like family play to me and I have them all so I don't have an answer.
Expansion pack: Seasons has greatly affected the way I play, and the holidays/calendar are a nice touch. I would have maybe picked Get Together for its build items and Windenburg next, but just for the multicultural aspect alone, I think City Living would be my second.
Game pack: Jungle Adventure - love this world, had a lot of fun with this pack, and it also touches on multiculturalism. Outdoor Retreat would be my next pick for the herbalism feature, and certain features of this pack work well with Jungle Adventure
Stuff pack: I don't have too many stuff packs so I can't judge the ones I don't have yet, but of the ones I have I'd probably go with Laundry Day. Not so much for the laundry feature, but I like the build items and they complement the lifestyle of my sims. Second would be Movie Hangout.
Seasons, Dine Out, Vintage Glamour
EP: Missing only Seasons
GP: Missing Spa Day, Dine Out, Jungle Adventure
SP: Missing Vintage Glamour, Bowling Night and First Pet
A bundle I'd recommend but already have would be
EP: Get together (deepens gameplay, also a great tool to make the world appear lived in and create immersion, plus it comes with a world that consists of four different districts)
GP: Outdoor retreat (needs some work to be really fun, the default lots are boring)
SP: 1 of Backyard stuff or Cool kitchen or Luxury party
That's pretty similar to the pack I'd build for myself, except I'd swap dine out for jungle adventure as I already have dine out
Nah, it has to be 1 expansion pack, 1 game pack and 1 stuff pack
Seasons
Jungle adventure
Laundry Day.
Seasons + Parenthood + Spooky stuff or Backyard stuff

Seasons suits different playstyles, but for a family player I think it's a must. Toddler Stuff could be swapped for Kids Room or Laundry Day.
These packs really help to shape the neighbourhood: where sims hang out, what they do when you're not playing them and how they dress up. You also get to create different kind of venues.
C&D build mode items are beautiful, JA offers a chance for more experimental style while RG is a must for landscaping.
These picks are rather obvious. You get aliens, vampires and some costumes.
CL comes with apartments, sales tables and festivals with free food. OR has furniture to survive outdoors. Not sure about LD, but it adds some difficulty.
Updated with Werewolf Diaries (1)
Like it used to be.
Is that your recreation of late night?
