What should I bundle with Discover University?

Update: Thanks everyone who voted and commented. I appreciated all your comments.
I had to wait almost half the day to bundle DU. It was well worth the wait. I ended up bundling it with ROM and Moschino. ROM hasn't been intrusive in any way. It almost feels as if I don't have it installed. The only time I encountered something was when I married a townie into my family, he had the ROM aspiration but wasn't a spellcaster, so that was an easy fix.

Hey gals and guys!
I'm getting DU on released and wanted to bundle it. I have most GPs and EPs. What I don't have outside of these polled options are GP - Strangeville and SPs - Romantic Garden, Luxury Party, My First Pet and Spooky. I'm not really interested in those options. I'm not really interested in Vampires or ROM either, but I need an GP option to bundle so I'm willing to suck it up and get one.
My questions are basically:
1. Which combinations work best together
2. How has the recent mega update fixed issues that were present in these DLCs

I already have vampires so i'll bundle with rom eventually probably

I think visually/aesthetically for CAS those two really work well together, even though the gameplay is pretty different. The freelance photography career would be a no brainer for some of your more creative Uni Sims, as well as witchcraft for additional storytelling.
The only thing about the patch and these packs are that the Occult eyes that come with ROM do not work unfortunately. There wasn't a fix for it in this patch but I'm sure it'll happen, hopefully soon. That's the only one I know about - to my knowledge they fixed a good amount of bugs from both of those packs. I didn't get to play TOO much last night but when I did all seemed to go smoothly 🤷
RoM over Vampires cause, considering you don't care for occults, RoM is much more usable. (Glimmerbrook is much more normal than Forgotten Hollow and the CAS/BB is much more versatile as well). Plus, you could give spellcasters a try, it's very fun.
Have fun with your bundled packs!
What do you like in particular about moschino?
Oooh, I didn't even think of that aspect. Thanks for perspective.
Do you have to select an occult eye for a spellcaster. If I ever test a spellcaster out, I definitely wouldn't want to encounter graphical glitches (those thing freak me out). Great to know your play was smooth last night.
Do you get townie spellcasters popping up all over?
That sounds awful for you. The photography skills does pique my interest. I've tried it before with the items that came from GTW but I never played out a sim as photographer.
Worthless because of the bugs? Did the patch not fix many game-breaking issues?
In what way do you find ROM intrusive. All my reading on the forum normally has Vampires as being more intrusive. I know the team reduced the frequency of night time attacks though.
I don't really want spooky or scary at all. Thats why these packs were never brought but the enticement of getting DU and other DLC for a reduced overall price is too much. Do you see witches on brooms even when not playing as a spellcaster? The active career of M is also very enticing.
Can you bundle two SPs? This is the first time I would be using the bundle feature. I was always under the impression that it had to be EP, GP and SP together.

Vampires no longer break in and feed. You just get a late night visitor now and then. Super exciting. They act just like regular sims now.
So, yeah I'd recommend RoM and pretty much anything else.
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.
Ha'aheo, e hoʻomau i kō kāua aloha, kau a kau.
I'd look at the items that come in the GPs you don't have, and see which ones you like the look of the most. Because honestly it sounds like the items will be what you're most likely to make use of, and they all have different styles to them.
我并不感到困扰
I am kind to everyone. But if you are unkind to me, kindness is not what you will remember me for.
I am autistic. Wording isn't my strong suit.
Stop player on player violence.
Game Pack, I dare say Realm of Magic due to the build/buy objects. However, the actual gameplay, much like Island Living, is less than stellar.
I personally have not seen witches use their broomsticks anywhere but the magic realm, though mine ( the twin witches I made, one a good witch, one a bad witch) have used them in Glimmerbrook. I do not want to use the broom stick in other worlds (at least not so far) because I believe witches should be something that only use their broom sticks, wands etc. around other witches, or, if they are visiting someone they want to use a spell or potion on, after all witches have been known to be burned at the stake. 😉
I haven’t played a whole lot since realm of magic came out though and I do play rotationally. With witches ( that you play) you can set them to use their broomstick ( and wands) all the time for traveling or only when you want them to. And I have read that if you don’t want to play with witches, and don’t want them to affect your play, just don’t visit the magic realm (and I assume don’t play the premade witch families either). I love the furniture, most of it is very useable anywhere you want older, beautiful furniture. A few pieces ( like cabinets with potions ) are more witch inspired, but could also be used by an archeologist, herbalist, collectors etc., there is one beautiful cabinet you can put things in, I assume you could put crystal, dolls, or clutter in it if you want to ( or potions) The bed and dresser are really beautiful, the kitchen and bathroom stuff is very pretty too. I also like the build stuff too. The windows have several choices ( some more witch inspired, but they also have a more plain version of the same window too). When it comes to furniture, the vampire furniture seems less useful to me, I wish they had included a more normal organ with the vampire pack, but I guess you could use the monstrosity that came with it in a church (I have thought about doing that). I think this time around with ROM ( rather than Vampires) they thought out furniture and a world to live in that could be used by a perfectly normal sim.
Romantic Garden comes with useful flowers and a wishing well that can be nice if you're looking for something unexpected to happen (you could end up with a ghost child or a ten point skill for example). I used to also like the big fountain where sims can play in, but with Seasons it's a bit weird sometimes when they do it in the winter... so I would think carefully where to place that one. I also have Fitness Stuff and it's okay but not something I would recommend, unless you're really into the style/gameplay. The furniture isn't bad! I don't have Moschino pack because I'm not that interested in spending time behind the camera in game. I don't like the style in that pack either.

If you're not into occult related stuff I do see the world for ROM as well as the furniture and CAS very good for pretty normal gameplay. Much as I love Vampires it definitely had a more dark theme to it. I do like the decor here since I love the decals for cracks and torn wallpaper to make homes look more run down.
Oh, lol. I get you. I can see how that would be disappointing. Thanks for your suggestion!!
What a dilemma to have
That sucks about your mermaids. I like Strangerville for the military career but don't want to see those freaky eyes that came with that pack. Looking at all the items is my next step to decide.
I like that aspect of moschino SP too. I might play it once, like I did with IL.
RG always seemed pointless to me when I looked at it's options. If I get that pack it would probably be in some super sale. I just don't see the point of the wishing well. I also don't do a lot of landscaping when building (because I suck at it). So that pack seems like a waste. I liked the fact that sims can work out using the tv with the Fitness pack.
The clothes from the fitness back do look nice. Those dark mode of the vampires do look mighty dark. I can see myself using those wallpapers maybe once.
Thanks for this feedback! This was exactly the type of info that helps with making my decision. Thanks for commenting.
Moschino seems a waste of money, even for the photography career as there are mods that seem to do it better (unless you are on a console). And the clothes look worse than those with Katy Perry's House of Pain.
Also "Magic HQ" is a ridiculous name for a seat of magic and its a sloppily designed and rather boring building.
