Honestly hands down Strangerville. I hated doing the story. The town wasn't that interesting either. I mainly bought it because I am OCD and need to have all the packs
Could it possibly get uglier? I used to be a highly respected watcher, and now I'm a wounded dwarf with the mystical strength of a doily. I just wish I could sleep. - Rupert Giles
But just because I "usually" do not play with families and kids.

Strangerville, without a doubt. I don't know what made them decide to waste a portion of their budget on something literally nobody asked for and don't seem to have enjoyed all that much either.
Dine out is by far the buggiest, and most disappointing in terms of new gameplay features. No depth to running restaurants, other than uniforms and setting the menu, such a shame .. But it does have good BB and CAS that I use, so I would still get it.
Can’t believe what people are saying about spa day, vampires and strangerville though?! Spa day is pretty much the only modern pack in terms of BB, loads of new items with new animations (especially compared to more recent packs, it’s easily got twice the amount of animations Island Living came with and that’s comparing it to an expansion pack!). So underrated..
Vampires, well that’s a given with the divide of players with Supernatural phobia.. so not the worst pack, just the one you don’t own lol
Strangerville, same problem as vampires, people aren’t open to it so dismiss it.
I happen to love Dine Out. I've never tried running a restaurant but the menu/staff customisation is great for community lots. I have so many differently themed restaurants in my game and just really enjoy visiting them. When it comes to Spa Day, I'm not much into modern stuff and don't like visiting spas either. Everyone has their reasons for liking or not liking a pack so there's no right or wrong answer in these threads.
I believe the spa day gamepack doesn't have much replay value and I just used it once in a while. Outdoor retreat I can use on some winter holidays with seasons and Strangerville is very beautiful. Restaurants reminds me of the sims 1 hotdate, vampires and parenthood are particularly my favorites
i love all of them but the weakest for me is Spa Day because it doesn't have that much to do with it outside a very specific situation. And you can only have one way
i just don't feel like making my sims take a vacation? idk the idea of camping doesn't interest me at all. oddly enough i find jungle adventure highly enjoyable
For some reason parenthood is my least favourite even though it seems the most popular game pack. I find the advice really annoying and I don’t like the child and teenage phases. It’s the game pack I dislike playing the most.
I have to agree with you on the "advice." There's no way to win so I never play kids long enough to do a lot of the dilemmas.
I agree I find I have a make a conscious effort for my sims children/teenagers to know what trait to give them and then it annoys me when it falls out of range so I end up giving up on it and clicking on randon answers.
I don't like the "advice" because I rarely know which Sim is being asked to give the advice. Different Sims would give very different answers.
I though all the gp were pretty good but I only chose parenthood because it didn't add the interactive family play that I was personally looking for. And the kids won't stop asking advice.

However, not to focus on just the negative, my favorites on that list are Jungle Adventure, StrangerVille, and Vampires.
