This is the list of 7 stuff packs I don't own, it's tempting to buy more as the sale is at 50% discount!
Could you please help me choose which out of these you think are worth getting the most?

Thanks, I have read that the photography is the main reason for buying this pack, does it add a lot to general photography gameplay?
Personally, Tiny Living and Laundry Day are my favorite when it comes to building. I find myself using the objects very often, as they offer a good variety. Picking just one would depend mostly on the style you like to use the most. In terms of gameplay objects, if you like recreating everyday life and having your sims tend to their home, Laundry Day gives you that. It's nice to have different ways of doing laundry based on your sim's lifestyle, but, as many things in this game, will eventually become repetitive. Tiny Living basically doesn't bring anything for gameplay, unless you think occasionally repairing a bed, risking injury and death if you don't, is interesting gameplay. I'd really only buy that pack if you are a builder.
In terms of gameplay, Moschino has a clear advantage, with improved studio photography and a new independent career. I haven't used it much, as I got it recently, but considering the objects available in other packs, it's a pretty clear winner. The windows are nice too for builders.
In my opinion, Fitness stuff would come second in terms of gameplay. The climbing wall is difficult to fit into a build, but being able to workout with just a tv is really helpful, and the earbuds can be nice too. This pack also brings quite a few nice objects for building. For an overall usability (taking into account both gameplay and building), it's my favorite.
I really can't recommend the three others, though they are not necessarily entirely bad. Some people might enjoy the buffet table and drink fountain from Luxury Party, but in terms of items, the pack is quite sparse and the items are garish. I basically never use this pack except for some CAS items and the buffet table.
I liked Perfect Patio more. It has some nice items (and extra swimsuit options, which we don't have many of otherwise. The problem is that its unique gameplay feature is now available in base game, so unless you are a builder or in dire need of new swimwear for your sims, it isn't worth it.
My First Pet Stuff is... well it got a lot of backlash, didn't it? I don't think it's that bad as a stuff pack, though. It brought pet clothing I don't care for, but the new items for pets do look very nice. The rodents can be fun to play with, though the item for them is quite big and very colourful, fitting for a kids' room. In fact, most of the build/buy objects that are not for use by pets are quite childish, with bright colours and funny patterns, so it is useful if you play with families and want fun kid's rooms and play rooms, but that's about it.
Fitness stuff has earbuds where you can do things like jog and listen to them, it also has the rock climber machine which is now good to practice for rock climbing,. Moschino stuff is good it you like photography. You can pose your sims about anywhere, and there is a really cool big window in the pack. Tiny living is greats for small places, as things do double duty.”
Thank you for your opinion, you have made me feel different about the fitness pack as I didn't know about the TV or ear buds. I am interested in photography so that might be a reason to buy the Moschino pack. I like Laundry but it did become repetitive in Sims 3 so I'm worried about that. Tiny Living seems to be very popular, but it mainly advertises a bed that I won't use, I can't see how building experience would change much.
Thank you I forgot that luxury party stuff comes with a buffet table, I could see myself using that a lot as I did in the other Sim games. Also ear buds I didn't know about, that will add some realism to the game.
Tiny Living has more stuff to build with but not much gameplay, unless you count just living in a small house. I have never used the Murphy Bed in my game.

It allows for poses when taking pictures, if different emotions. I honestly don’t use the clothing as much except for the black skirt and joggers, but I always use the poses. I hang up the photos around the house, makes the home feel more alive and it’s good it’s not the same paintings going up on the wall. Sims can pose with their toddler, or pet. It’s one of my favorite things from the pack
Although I'm not interested in the clothing, I really like this idea. I spend ages getting Sims to pose for photos at weddings etc to go around the house, thank you for explaining it in detail.
Thanks, this has really helped me think about what to get.
Thank you for trying to help, there's so many good ones to get, especially now I have heard everyone's experiences. I still like laundry, I just meant it can be repetitive, but it's nice to have in the game for realism, thanks for telling me that it's the same. I do love pets and family gameplay so my first pet also sounds good.
I know what you mean about repetitiveness and that is what laundry day is. I love most of the stuff packs and think most are value for money. Perfect patio is one of the weaker ones and luxury party is good for the dresses in cas and fondue. Fitness I’m more meh about but that’s just my gameplay style. The others you have listed are my most liked stuff packs. my favourite is backyard and as that’s not listed so I assume you have that. Its hard to advise and pick one from the list as most of them are very good.
1. Tiny Living - BB & CAS, challenge of building a micro home, & the tiny home bonuses
2. Moschino - Photography improvements & BB items
3. Laundry - BB & CAS, realism that laundry adds
4. Fitness - Earbuds, rock climbing wall, workout videos on TV, some nice BB & CAS items
Thank you I liked reading all your different opinions on what you liked about these packs, it has made me feel different about them and I will consider them in the future.
