Are JA and MFPS worth it ?

simsonthemoon · April 2018

I own all of the dlcs because it drives me crazy to not own them all but Jungle Adventure and My First Pet Stuff are the only packs i’ve been borderline on buying. Thoughts ?

I've been enjoyng JA since it came out. So I definitely think that one is worth it. Didn't want MFPS and didn't buy it.

Yes to JA and no to MFPS. The new stuff pack is a blatant a rip off for a long list of reasons you can find all over this forum, and even youtubers critiques, but some simmers really wanted a hamster that bad.

I have them both and enjoy them both.
I guess I'm one of those simmers that just wanted a hamster that bad. Oh wait, no I made a decision and like the pack.. the rodents.. the disease process and death. OMG I can think for myself, amaze-tastic.

I mean ultimately it's up to you. you decide if they're worth the dollars or not. I don't own JA (plan on it tho!) but it seems like a fun addition with good build/buy. I do own MFP and like the new pets as well as the added pet items (new food bowls are my fav). I would consider them both worth their dollars but that's for me personally. plenty of people disagree and that's cause worth is pretty subjective. just wait on 'em if you're floundering. they'll have to go on sale EVENTUALLY.

They're both worth it to me, but there are plenty of videos out there about them if you want all the details first.

I suggest watching gameplay videos and deciding on your own based on that.

JA is totally worth it! It's a great game pack and actually feels really big.
MFP is not worth the full price. If I was you I would wait for it to go on sale.

Highly recommend Jungle Adventures. It feels large in game play and has neat features.
My first pet stuff... If you really want small pets???

SimTrippy · April 2018

JA is definitely worth it

it is one of my fav TS4 packs.

Buy JA. It's soo worth it, the world is amazing the new skills and new ways of making money. The temple changes and is actually pretty fun and the build and buy items are incredible and beautifully done.

The hamster pack. I haven't really used yet besides the new beds. The stuff is cute but I recommend you watching videos on that and see how much you want it.

JA totally. MFPS totally not worth.

stilljustme2 · April 2018

If you have Cats & Dogs, MFP might be worth an investment because the furniture coordinates well with that pack, especially in kids' rooms. And the small animal is kind of cute.

JA I'd definitely get -- even if you only have a few of your Sims do the adventure the Build mode options are beautiful, and if you're a millenial you need the avocado trees for proper avocado toast.

(They should have added avocado toast and guacamole as new recipes.)

I've been having a blast with Jungle Adventures. It definitely adds a little bit of challenge and risk if you're looking for that kind of thing. The jungle is absolutely awesome and is now my very favorite of all the maps, I just wish my Sims could live there. The temple exploration is fun and I enjoy it more when I pick a random Sim to figure out a trap, instead of choosing the one with the proper skills. That way, there's a higher risk of it triggering and endangering my Sims. But if you like to play a safer game, there are certainly ways to prepare and get around the dangers.

I also love the new archaeology skill, curses and culture of Selvadorada. The new dance moves are great, and I find the environment to be very immersive. It's a great pack if you just want your Sims to take an exotic vacation and take a lot of beautiful pictures.

I highly recommend this pack.

JA is okay and MFSP is something you going to have see for yourself by looking videos or reviews as posted in some threads. I am not buying it because it does not interest me even with the fish table. You can also check JA through reviews and videos.

HCSau · April 2018

So glad you raised this OP as I've been wondering. I'm waiting for when they go on sale. I think it's fair considering I've purchased most of the others full price. I am craving the Latin pop radio station but I will resist temptation!

Francl27 · April 2018

Bored with JA after a few trips but it gave me hours of gameplay. No interest at all in MFSP - I want small pets, but not one type for $10.

GamingTweety · April 2018

Ja definitely worth but dont know about mfps since I didn't buy it. It is the first pack that I don't have.

Simburian · April 2018

I always go on the principle of buy it before it becomes unavailable so it is up to you. If you like building, JA has some nice new windows and brickwork and MFSP is quite sweet in its' way but a question of taste.

Goth583 · April 2018

I have neither, but I would say JA is probably worth buying. I'm just waiting on a sale to get that one, it actually looks good and like they took their time to think it out a bit more than usual. MFPS is just an automatic no for me. I will never support buying DLC for DLC.

joRN1414 · April 2018

I am really enjoying JA. Both playing in the jungle and using the objects in the other parts of the world. The Build items are awesome IMO. I probably use things from that pack the most right now. I'm one of those people that have C&D but not MFPS. There wasn't anything in it that I wanted. It's the first pack I don't have.

Simburian · April 2018

Just like to add that I am currently redecorating some old builds and am surprised how many of the build objects and items I like that have come from these two packs. The walls from JA make lovely bathrooms and the kitchen stuff is great for my rebuilt kitchens. I've even found a place for my hamster on the upstairs balcony.

sunman502 · April 2018

I would say JA is; if your are into a Mayan style of gameplay and a bit of jungle exploration. But I'm not so sure about My First Pet Stuff. I haven't really seem any fun gameplay with that one yet. But it is just a Stuff Pack, so I don't expect to see a whole lot of fun gameplay with that. But that's just me.

AlbaWaterhouse · April 2018

Jungle Adventure is absolutely worth it in my opinion! The BB is fantastic and they even took players' feedback into account and added a couple of things via patch that were missing from BB. Maybe the "adventure" part itself doesn't have a long term playability, but the world to go on a break and learn about a new culture is another aspect that makes Selvadorada feel fresh. It is also very pretty and it is overall a lot of fun.

About My First Pet, I would recommend you to go to the Stuff Packs side of the forums and read on some threads there. I already voiced my opinion a million times at this point, but bottom line is, no, it is not worth it.
