Sims 3 store content you couldn't play without?

Hellooo

I have some points to spend on the store and I can't decide what to buy. So I thought I'd ask you guys for help and ask what really enhances your game or what store content you couldn't imagine not having in your game?

Swift (sp?) grow garden center. Specifically the composter. All my sims garden and so all my sims, without fail get this item. That and the tablets so they can listen to tabcasts say for charisma (something I don't mind if they get ahead of sooner than later)

I'd say Grim's Ghastly Manor but only because it came with one of my favorite outfits for male sims, specially vampires. The boldness beckons outfit is perfect for vampires and I love the fancy gothic look it has.

The lot is cool, too.

I enjoy a lot of it.
The SwiftGro is Awesome. I love using it to get my Sims rich.
I like the toddler stuff more. The swing for the babies, the Playpen, and the Walker are a must for me.

The Multitab is a must. I used to avoid it because it feels like cheating (I still avoid the baby-toddler stuff btw), but I am just so used to it nowadays and as such I can't live without it.

Shout out to the tractor, midnight hollow toy machine and its associated toys, violin, archery range, gambling stuff, and massage table as well.

The SwiftGro Gardening Station, hands down!

Second, The Auto-Noms Automatic Pet Feeding Station! 👏🏻 Best thing ever for your pets. I always felt bad when my sims would forget to feed their fur babies.

Next for me would be these four rad items for babies and toddlers: The Dirty No More Baby Changing Station, the Head Start Playpen, Solace Snugababy Deluxe Baby Swing, and the Locomotion Toddler Walker. Seriously all of those make caring for babies SO much easier. 👍🏻

And lastly, The Infinite Zen Massage Table is nice. So is the MultiTab 6000


Those would be my picks out of the Store Items I can't play without.

The baking set, and the deep fryer. I use a mod that my sims have to go grocery shopping for ingredients, so when they first move in its, deep fried food XD

I loved the Old Mill Tea set.
It restored energy and increased relationships and gave my sims something to do while I focused on other sims.

Hmm, let's think about it for a moment. There isn't really that much I'd put into that category.

1. The MultiTab 6000. It saves so much time for some skills, it isn't even funny. It allows for multi-tasking, too.
2. The SwiftGro Gardening station. Helps enormously with the weeding and fertilizing. Speeds up growth with at least two pushes per day instead of one. The only negative aspect: it seems to be a bit of a performance hog, but that's a general thing with gardening.
3. The Head Start Playpen. I'm not necessarily using it for skilling, although it even does that, but for "storing" toddlers that learned everything they can from their parents directly. Works much better if you have two toddlers, because then you can forget your family has toddlers.

Honorable mention:
The Rim Rockin’ Basketball Hoop. Sims love it, plus they get their athletics a slightly different way.

A few things, but not the big stuff people mentioned really.

@GraceyManor I like the idea of your mod! Does it work well? I don't use a lot of them, just errortrap, overwatch. Do you know if it does well with those? I know what the deep fryer is, but the baking set? I'm wondering if I'm missing out on some function.

Don't avoid the baby stuff! The walker is adorable and they can get handiness from it with the , 2 toddlers can socialize in the playpen, the swing is interactive and the parents can watch their infant or toddler

@Rsanda Don't avoid the baby stuff!

Shout out to the canning station, cuz the jars are super cute.
I've had the Multitab forever, but it's one I avoid cuz I think it's cheating, I've never used it! LOL

@liizzys1302 I tried to gift you some stuff I like, but you must play on a diff account name. If you wanna put it here, that would be great. I think what you appreciate depends on how you play and what packs you have. As an example, I don't have Supernatural so I wouldn't have the rocking chair if not for the store content. I also like all the laundry stuff, but some may not bother with it.

I like a lot of stuff that's not listed here such as the dog chew toy that's a candy cane cuz sim's nor their maid put it away so it's always available to the dog.

My must have shoes to go with the wedding gowns are these
https://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:71643&scategoryId=11772

I use these more than I ever thought I would for little girls
https://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:19075&scategoryId=11804

Here's a sink I use all the time
https://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:52252

I love this because it functions as an end table in the kitchen. I like the plate rack and many pieces from the Bayside set; they're unique and add to the kitchen.
https://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:17143

As mentioned, I don't have Supernatural so without this and another one from a larger set I wouldn't have the rocking chair feature
https://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:65763

The toddler clothes and hair add needed variety and so do the sinks and stoves from the store. I have all of these and I use all of them.

@CK213 Ohhhhhh you're not in TS4? Or maybe both? I have this and I keep meaning to add it to my town. I have an idea for it using the bathroom doors so to prevent the gifting of flower fests that I see among my already married to someone else sims.

I cannot play without the Bohemian Garden set (As half of my Sims tend to have the "Love The Outdoors" Trait, it's only natural I have the Bohemian Garden Set)

I cannot play without Riverview or Hidden Springs.

Actually, I can't live without any of my Store Stuff
