I’m blown away by how much I’ve enjoyed My Wedding Stuff. I love the world. This is the only collection I’ve ever finished. And the wedding venues are pretty. Cas isn’t bad either.
As long as the venue only has 1 arch, I have no problems with the wedding.
I aged up the two youngest premade kids. Kept the grandma, and killed off everyone else in a “tsunami.” Ok, I cheated and killed off everybody using mc command center. But I used the rain machine!
The younger kids fell in love, and despite the mean grandma, ended up engaged. I made it so he’s a spellcaster with an ancient bloodline and she’s a mermaid.
Just curious, which packs pleasantly surprised you? And feel free to share your pack stories

Also see how it would be unremarkable to a lot of people too. I think a lot of these packs depends on how you use them, what sims you have, how you feel at that particular time, what you like in real life etc 🙂
I love the clothes in that pack!
But other than that, fabricating and making your own items, actually pretty fun. Building container homes, also fun. The new community lots, also well done and work pretty well, going around in different worlds and trying to improve their footprints, also fun and interesting, some worlds looked great with a green eco footprint. And we also got some apartments. Both CAS and the Build/Buy items look great and I used a lot of those items when I was renovating houses and apartments with Dream Home Decorator.
The pack also has some of my favorite NPC sims with Knox Greenburg and Tina Tinker who can show up on other lots and help you out.
When I first saw the trailers I thought 'Is that it?' and was not expecting much, but it turned out to be a solid expansion pack. Great world, the totally awesome club system, Don't Wake The Llama, darts, foosball, dancing etc.
I generally don't like packs. Just personal preference. But this one works really well, the items for it are all really nice and it works as it's own thing.
I thought it might have very little replay value given the similarities to Stranger Things
but I actually find it has lots of replay value and its always such fun to play
tbh most of the packs that are not 100% exactly what I asked for
it takes me a while to figure packs out
but when I do its great fun

-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.
The other one I was pleasantly surprised is Werewolves. I've never liked Werewolves in movies or TV series and they just simply bore me, but Sims 4 did them so well that I ended up loving the game pack more than I ever expected.
It's a stuff pack with a lot of game play for 10 dollars. It felt like a game pack.
It goes nicely with Realm of Magic, Vampires for game play. It also goes well with HSY, Vintage Glamour, and Decor to the Max for build/buy.
I love Jungle Adventures. I was just playing an archaeologist sim recently, and had a lot of fun with her. I often edit the world so sims can do other things on their holidays as well, if they aren't going to be explorers.
I also really liked Strangerville. I wouldn't want to play through it again, but it felt good to solve the "mystery" and it was kind of fun to fight the Mother Plant. Plus, those Possessed Sims are so delightfully creepy!
But it did pique my interest when I saw the live stream so I got it, and once I played it, I actually fell in love with it. I made some evil Sirens and a Mer kingdom (because holy shamoly the Mermaid customization is awesome!) and put some pirates in as well as a voodoo mambo by the volcano and then I found an amazing ship restaurant build in the gallery and added that and just had a blast with it all. I found myself wanting to hang out there all the time with my Sims (just recently had an informal hippie beach wedding with my young Witch.) I love that there's a variety of hidden surprises connected to the ocean like shark attacks and getting swept out by the tide. Lol, it's little sneaky details like those that keep me interested.
I know that there's areas where the pack really fell short (like no underwater swimming and rabbit holes) and I would have rather had something much more interesting instead of the conservation career, but I think it's one of my favorite expansions anyway. I just really enjoy it. In my own way, of course. 😁
Agree! They went all out for that pack. The only pack i’d say that is worth their full retail price.
My Families Via PlumTree App
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
But two packs did surprise me. One being strangerville. I put together a team of investigators to find the source of strangeness and I was pleasantly surprised by all of the little details along the way. Bug tracking, vines coming outta my toilet 😱😱😱, town getting stranger and stranger among other things. My sims were trying to balance raising a family and investigating so it took me a while to finish it.
And then the rpg style fight with mother was so unique and fun for a sims game. I was definitely very impressed and surprised with strangerville.
I know people say the story is not repayable but I beg to differ. We tend to do the same things over and over again in sims anyway. Some of us even play the same old storylines over and over.
I don't see how this is any different. Plus I add my own story to the strangerville investigation anyway which makes each play through feel a little different.
Second surprise was ecolifestyle. Gameplay about saving the environment sounded like the opposite of fun (still does 😑) But I was surprised to discover that it was really a pack of things players wanted all put together. It's become one of my most used packs just because of everything it comes with and how it is so useful for my gameplay even though I feel like the pack itself doesn't have any particular direction, similar to get together. And both are really good packs for what they add.
