Regret is a strong word, but Strangerville was a waste even at half off. I only use it now because I have a mod that sets it at the end of the story. I use it for my Batuu save and that's it. I don't even use the buy/build or CAS. I thought I would when I bought it. But I just dislike it.
I enjoy all the others a lot with the exception of Vampires and ROM. However, I do use the CAS and buy/ build for those, so I feel ok with my 50% off purchases.
Spa Day is probably my favorite gamepack. Get Together is my favorite expansion. If the bugs in Cottage Living get fixed, it will probably become my favorite expansion. It's difficult to choose a favorite stuff pack because I like most of them equally.
The only thing I don't own is Paranormal. There is nothing that interests me from that pack.
My favorite EPs are Seasons (despite that stupid "fear" emotion that was added to thunderstorms later), Get Together, Get Famous and Cottage Living.
My favorite GPs are Spa Day, Dine Out and Parenthood, while my favorite SPs are Cool Kitchen, Romantic Garden,Nifty Knitting and Tiny Living.
I don't regret buying any of these packs. As you can see in my signature I do not own the packs I dislike.
I'd love to see a singing career in game, EA! You can't let the singing skill go to waste! My TS4 EPs: GTW, GT, CL, C&D, S, GF, IL, DU, EL, SE, CoL, HSY, GrT, HR, FR GPs: OR, SD, DO, V, P, JA, SV, RoM, DHD, MWS
My favourite packs are definitely Seasons, City Living and Parenthood. I use their features in my everyday gameplay.
And my least favourite pack is Outdoor Retreat. The world is boring, there's nothing interesting to do. And Get Famous, at first I was happy with the acting career but it gets repetitive and time consuming but the worst thing is the fame system, the way sims react, it's also buggy sometimes.
Favorites Get Together, Parenthood, Movie Night, Spa Day, Kids Room, Snowy Escape (though the teleporting ski lift annoys me)
Least favorite at least of the packs I've purchased is Get to Work and Vampires I just don't use either at all seeing how poorly both were done and their worlds are so small they have no redeeming value.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
Considering I draw from Get Together, Cottage Living, Realm of Magic, Vampires, Romantic Garden and Vintage Glamour the Most and those are most packs that I own.
Get to Work I just wish active careers got more things to do as we got more packs.
Like police got new mysteries and crimes to solve.
And with Get Famous, the police getting involved with famous sims it would have been so good.
Doctors could look into treating new illnesses, especially with Seasons, Cats and Dog, Realm of Magic and vampires.
Scientists could study other occults and invent more technology that could be used for/against spell casters/vampires/mermaids and more.
Get Famous, maybe I’ve yet to scratch the surface with this pack but, it’s not all that…
My favourite packs are Seasons, Cottage Living, Island Living, Cats & Dogs and Nifty Knitting. I enjoy family play the most and love anything that adds to that kind of play. I don't regret buying anything as they all probably have something I use in game.
I regret nothing. Not even JtB or Tiny Living, of which I probably never use a thing. I overuse Get Famous, Get Together, Seasons, Spa Day and Vintage Glamour though! I'm only missing 4 packs currently, the 2 newest packs and the 2 newest kits.
The one pack I don't use anything from at all and I really regret is the first pack: Outdoor Living. The pack I will never buy and has not done so is Batuu.
As for favorite packs... I am always the odd one out here, it seems. My three favorite pack are:
Island Living
City Living
Discover University
Seasons is not even in the top 5 for me. And both Spa Day and Jungle Adventure almost pushes Uni out of the top 3.
Not that I regret my purchases, but I did have a bad habit back in the earlier days of Sims 4 where I purchased packs just to have more content in my game, even though the content didn't necessarily inspire me to use it, I just liked the idea of having more content available I guess? But now, with the amount of packs that are available to me, I'm definitely considering 'decluttering' my game and disabling some of the packs I basically never think to use.
I think I could play forever with these five packs only.
I don't regret getting any packs, but regret paying full price for some like Island Living. Should have waited instead of impulse buying. It's usually a good idea to wait anyway if you just can.
I like Uni and Get Together, surprisingly I enjoyed the eco pack much more than I expected, and I like Island living though I feel it could've been much better. I really regret the Star Wars pack, and was very disappointed with Snowy Escape.
I could live without San Myshuno but I enjoy the singing skill, and use content from the pack now and then so it's not a major regret. I absolutely do regret buying some of the Sims 3 stuff though - Late Night, Showtime and some store content.
I wouldn't say that I regret buying any of the packs although there have been a couple that I have been a little bit disappointed by and the one that I've probably been the most dissapointed about is Dream Home Decorator. For a pack that is supposed to be about decorating, I thought it was very disappointing that it only had one wall covering, no floor covering and the furnishings were all rather modern.
Have most of the packs but the ones that I mention are the ones that standout in each category
Favorite pack: University, Eco Living, Get Famous, Stranger Ville
Meh Packs :Cats and Dogs, HDH, Island Living ( only use it to get a tan anymore), Vampires, Jungle adventure
Regret: RoM, my first pet, paranormal ( I am on the fence about this one because it seems soooo much fun, but I haven't tried the career bc by the time I have the 5000 LFP i just forget or they are too old, and when I maxed out the seances , I had to take a break due to real life and forgot about it, maybe I just need to sit down with it again and give it a proper go)
Don't have: JTB (and I don't care if its free, never ever will I own it), courtyard and throwback kits ( I am a very bad builder and courtyard builds although I love them in real live .. I would have a hard time building one on my own and throwback. Although I grew up and love the 90's …. the style wasn't the best LOL)
My favorite Expansion & Game Packs: Seasons, Parenthood, City Living, Discover University, Snowy Escape, Island Living, Get Famous, Get Together, Get to Work, Realm of Magic (mostly because I can cheat ), Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, and Spa Day (especially with the update)
Absolutely Least Favorite: Vampires, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville, and Eco Lifestyle
All others are decent.
~~ Nothing like being a happy Simmer! We let all hell break loose!! ~~
Journey To Batuu is the pack I regret most of all. Even in other packs, I still use the CAS and BB. JTB, I can't even use the building content because it's so specialised - and I have tried.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
I was just thinking last night that my most regretted pack is definitely City Living. I only bought it for the BB objects and because it was on sale, and it didn't seem to have any game play effects I wouldn't like.
It's the festival announcements that drive me up a wall: the music is loud and jangling. I wish we had the ability to turn off those announcements, or cancel the festivals altogether. The Snowy Escapes festivals and CL fair have quieter announcements, and the music is not as intrusive. (I don't usually complain about losing immersion, but the noise really does bother me. Especially the LOUD.)
I don’t regret buying any of the packs I own, because they all add something to my game. I was thinking of getting Eco Lifestyle, but after trying the free weekend, I realized that was one I probably would regret.

I like journey to Batuu as well, but mainly because i'm a biased Star Wars fan!
