Hey all
Thought i'd make a thread where we can discuss what our favourite stuff packs are.
I really love Vintage Glamour, I use the items in it a lot they're so beautiful, also the butler is pretty cool too I have one in a few of my households. I moaned about Laundry Stuff when the players picked it but I am enjoying it, some stuff packs I get bored of very easily but I find myself putting the washer/dryers in every household. I also like the bowling pack but I wish there was a dedicated bowling lot type. The Slip n Slides from Backyard are fun, they'll have more relevance to me when Seasons comes out - I do find them too big though.
The one I like least is probably luxury party stuff, the stuff is all too bright and except for the fountain I don't use anything from the pack. I got that pack in a bundle with perfect patio and spa day ages ago, I wouldn't have bought it separately. I have kids room and toddlers stuff but I make little use of them, I haven't even tried the ball pit yet because I so rarely play with kids. Rodents are fun, but I felt they should have been in Cats and Dogs. I hope none of the future 'new gameplay' aspects include food - after chocolate fountains, popcorn, ice cream and lemonade I would appreciate something different.

I also really like Fitness because I think there is a total lack of athletic outfits in CAS, and also I love the rock wall, because a few of my friends like to rock climb (and I like to model my sims after people I know irl) and so their sims get to enjoy something they enjoy irl.
I have had a lot of enjoyment out of the toddler SP and kids room SP, everything is super cute.. the outfits and pretty much all the CAS items.. BB mode is again adorable
I really want the movie hangout SP, laundry day and a few other but working out what I want first in terms of other packs etc and what I wanna test out in my game play. I'm trying to expand my building so looking at BB items as well as what I can get out of the pack in general

"wahoo" - aquaman
I don't truly have a favorite - depending on the household I am using - different ones become important for that household - so I have to say I love them all.

In dreams - I LIVE!
In REALITY, I simply exist.....
1. Vintage Glamour It has amazing CAS, butler, nice gameplay and great B&B objects. I feel like it's pretty unique SP.
2. Laundry Day also has great CAS ans B&B objects. It's pretty big for a SP tbh.
3. Romantic Garden good CAS, B&B objects are really pretty and the gameplay objects are great.
Least favorite
1. Toddler I never use it(except the pillows) + I dislike toddlers because they are so needy.
2. My First Pet big mehh but the B&B objects are nice(even tho there isn't many of them)
3. Cool Kitchen the hairstyles are nice but that's pretty much it.
I also like the specific details that can be added to lots with more packs. For example, I recently added a cafe from the gallery that draws a lot from Romantic Garden and Movie Hangouts. I added the ice cream maker there as well. Now, I can send sims to that cafe to get cupcakes or ice cream that they can eat there or take home. I actually edited the cafe quite a bit to have espresso and pastries as well as to function more for the patrons than the owner. I'm just mentioning that to show how I can use packs in quirky ways.
I've also built my own luxury gym, Oasis Lifestyle Fitness, with Fitness Stuff mixed with a lot of Spa Day. It has a relaxing lounge with vending machines and water walls. There's a room for doing work out videos or yoga. Sims can swim indoors or climb the rock walls or play basketball. I have other gyms that came with the game but that one is definitely my favorite and if I have to start taking over more lot space, others will go instead of that one.
The only SPs I don't have right now are the new pet one, Luxury Party and Spooky Stuff. I'm just not that interested in the spooky theme. The new pet one is a maybe for me but not something that I need right now. If there were rabbits, birds and ferrets as well, that would probably draw me in, especially if there were a few more human clothes and hairstyles. I probably will get Luxury Party at some point but I haven't gotten around to it. I've said this before but I really liked bowling and whenever they add an interesting new activity, I am a fan.
I'll admit to being the unpopular opinion of someone who really likes when they add new foods because I like being able to let my sims order more and different things. All of my sims have different preferences and eating habits. It's one of the ways that I develop their personalities. That said, I want to see more gameplay as well.
I don't actively dislike any of the SPs because I look up what all the objects are in a pack before I decide to get it. If I'm buying it, then I've already decided that I want what it offers in my game. There might be individual objects that I'm less interested in but not the whole pack if I get it.

I have thought about Luxury Party just for the buffet tables/fountain... is it worth it? I'd probably only use it during weddings and occasional birthday parties...

After I finally have modded my games so that grown-ups and teens can use the voidcritter battlestations that pack is going to see much more use. It always felt so sad to me that the sims that enjoyed that hobby would have to stop playing just because they got older. To me it felt like it wasn't much of a point of investing time and energy in the game if my sim had to give it up later.

Haven't installed it yet, waiting for one of my main households to have kids first
Cool Kitchen is another pack I enjoy as well. I really like the modern kitchen designs it came with. Also, the ice cream maker, of course! I kinda wish they reintroduced the deep fryer though... I really love that item in Sims 3! lol Same with the pizza oven.
