I’m getting bored with my current content, so I was thinking of buying some new packs. However, I don’t want to pay full price. I was thinking of building a bundle, but unfortunately, the only game pack that I don’t have yet is the Star Wars one. I’ve never seen Star Wars and I heard the gameplay is bad, so I wouldn’t get this pack unless it was free. However, according to my calculations, buying just Eco Lifestyle and Nifty Knitting would cost the same as buying all three in a bundle, so I would technically get it for free while paying full-price for the other two.
Another idea to have is wait until the annual Cyber Monday sale and then get Eco Lifestyle and Nifty Knitting for a good bargain. Hopefully, those two packs could last me a while. After that, I could possibly build a bundle in the future, once EP10 and another game pack have been released.
The third thing I could do is not buy any new packs and just find other ways to make the game more interesting. What should I do?

Build a Bundle now, including Star Wars
Wait for a sale, buy Eco Lifestyle and Nifty Knitting, and then wait for more new packs before making a bundle

Bundle at regular price = $69.97
Bundle price on sale (bundles are currently on sale on Origin when I posted this) = $49.98
This is a good deal only compared to the regular prices for an expansion, a game pack and a stuff pack.
But if you compare it to the price of individual packs on sale you get...
Expansion packs typically go on sale for 50% off. So EP regular price = $39.99 but sale price = $19.99
Game packs typically go on sale for 25% off. So GP regular price = $19.99 but sale price = $14.99
Stuff packs rarely go on sale. So the price is usually $9.99.
$19.99 + $14.99 + $9.99 = $44.98
$44.98 is less than $49.98
So buying the packs individually while they are on sale is still cheaper than buying them as a bundle, even when the bundle is on sale.
I would just wait for a sale and only buy the packs you actually want.
As for Eco Lifestyle, it's still pretty bugged or needs a lot of fine tuning. Otherwise, it is a nice pack, but I'd definitely wait until the NAPs and eco footprint work better.
Nifty Knitting is likewise bugged, though it doesn't occur all the time. I find this particular bug somewhat game breaking, aims who have learned the knitting skill only refill their energy very slowly. Again, I'd wait until that is fixed.
If you are one of those people who absolutely hate the idea of star wars, then I think you better buy the EP and SP packs you really want in your game separately. If you can bring up the patience, wait for a sale.
And no don’t bundle since you don’t really want SW.

But if you're super bored and have cash to burn I guess go for a bundle now if you really want to. Do what you need to keep yourself entertained and mentally healthy during this quarantine year. If Sims is your favorite hobby and you don't wanna wait until the end of the year then go get it!
Also, if you're on PC you could see if there's any new mods you want to play with, too!
Personally, I would either go CC shopping, or spend my money elsewhere and get The Sims 3 for only $20 AND get a free expansion pack and stuck pack, unless your computer can't handle it or you're also already somehow bored with TS3.
also its not that long until they drop next pack so id just wait to know what that is and buy nothing for time being in case its more fun

I got Nifty Knitting for now. I'm willing to put my Eco Living plot on hold until a sale comes around.
I've gotten at least some enjoyment out of every other Sims 4 pack. I've even loved ones other people hated, like Strangerville & My First Pet Stuff. I don't see myself getting anything but frustration and disappointment out of the Star Wars pack, sadly.
