I need help deciding between these, but I'm only gonna buy one of them.

The 20X15 lots & Ladders really comes in handy. And it's so cozy for a small family.
I don't use gameplay aspect of Kids Room Stuff a lot, but I just love all the items. Can't decorate any kids room without it or Parenthood.
Fitness Stuff is the weakest among these packs in my opinion.
My first choice would of been Laundry day but it’s been buggy since forever and I won’t recommend it for that reason.
All 5 are pretty solid packs, but if you're planning on getting/have snowy escape, I'd avoid fitness stuff, as the climbing feature is already there (though maybe that's an argument to get it on a deal).
It really depends on your play style for the rest. If you're a family player kids room is a must - the cas is great, the bb helps expand on the poor bg options, and the void critters are okay too, though I find some other packs more game-changing overall.
If you build interiors, both knitting and laundry day are good - unfortunately, I have got tired of the laundry function since, and find the cas hit or miss. Knitting is great if you like hobbies/crafty sims and elders. Personally, I've wanted an s4 etsy for ages, which is why it got my vote, as it's what I'd buy first over the rest, and having tried it, I love the cas and bb too.
Though I didn't like it at first, Tiny Living would be my 2nd choice. The murphy beds are definitely forgettable (the ghost/death is nice), and not as space-saving as advertised, but it absolutely shines when it comes to building, cas and the micro home features. With the smallest home, it's easier to get negative relationships (or reputation if you have gf), so great if you love difficult gameplay. It's also fun if you play rags-riches.
Edit: Well, since I finally realised there was a sale, I put my money where my mouth was, and am minus $7.50au , and plus nifty knitting 😉. Thank you op!
It would be helpful to know what you already own, as some packs complement others nicely. Eg. If you have Parenthood, kids room would be great, if you have Snowy Escape then fitness would be ideal etc.
-Nifty knitting- has a slight edge for me just because I really like knitting. I like having a new hobby, making craft items, and plopsy.
-laundry day- I like CAS and BB. I was surprised to like laundry. But I don’t put it in every household.
-Tiny Living- I’m not a builder but it was fun to try to make a tiny house. I like every single item in the BB.
- I don’t tend to focus on kids but it an okay pack. New clothing and kid focus BB. The gameplay item are okay but not something I use often.
- Fitness Stuff- is the weakest of all these packs to me. I basically only use tv workouts. I don’t care for CAS or BB.
I use the laundry day BB and CAS the most often I think from those, even if I don't put laundry in most lots. It's definitely worth it for half off. I'd still be ok paying full price for Tiny Living and Nifty Knitting though, so another reason to pick up Laundry Day while it's on sale.
Fitness Stuff is surprisingly good as well. If you're a builder and want new bathroom items, the bathroom and light objects that come with fitness stuff are nice. The rock climbing wall is more relevant now because of Snowy Escape too.
Others have already mentioned Nifty Knitting and Laundry Day, but I think Laundry Day is not worth it if you don't care to do laundry. Still, I would look at the BB objects in each pack and see what you like best.
Probably tiny living, since I already got the others besides laundry.Reason it has the murphy bed, a few nice combos that are great in apartments.
I don't own Laundry Day or Nifty Knitting - but I am interested in the knitting pack because it looks pretty solid. For laundry day all you do is laundry, so if that's something you want to do... go for it?
Kids Room adds a bunch for kids, but a lot of the objects can't be used once they're older. It does add good CAS assets, though!
Fitness Stuff really doesn't add anything new except for a climbing wall, which actually may be helpful if you own snowy escape, because the climbing wall will give you the rock climbing skill. Otherwise I only got it for some of the workout outfits when it was on sale however many years ago. The problem with the climbing wall is that it can't be outdoors if you have seasons because it breaks in the rain, and it's massive so it's difficult to put it indoors (this may be easier with the new platforms feature, but I had to add a balcony to one of the pre-built gyms that I could put the climbing wall under so it wouldn't break in the rain)
Tiny Living adds some great objects and outfits and is great if you're a builder. I'm not, but I've tried it with building a tiny house, and it's actually kind of fun. I also like the Scandinavian inspired clothing.
It really depends on what you want and how you play, though!

Fitness Stuff has some nice items & I like the rock climbing wall has been updated for SE. However, I use it mainly for the ear buds. They're great for keeping a Sim's fun up while they're at work, at class, or while they're doing any fun draining activity at home.
I bought laundry day solely for the wash tub and drying line for my off the grid lots. Apparently only my sims without electricity wash their clothes. But I bought it for 50% and haven't regretted it.
I got fitness stuff in a bundle and I do like the CAS for the activewear category, and the climbing wall.
Tiny Living doesn't appeal to me because I am not a builder. There are a few items I want but not $5 worth.
Nifty Knitting I am putting off to bundle with SE when they release a new game pack I want. Since I just bought JtB at 50% off in October. So I can't comment but I look forward to someday knitting socks for my "no shoes indoors" households.
