I told myself like two weeks ago that I was done buying packs until Sims 5 was released....but I mean...c'mon... everyone wants more packs. Do I drop $50 on a bundle of packs right now or do I wait it out for the possibility of better packs or Sims 5 news?
Packs I would consider buying:
EP: Get Together or City Living...maybe university but I played it with Sims 2 and 3 so probably not
GP: Outdoor Retreat or Dine Out or Spa Day
SP: Bowling, Backyard Stuff, Cool Kitchen, or Perfect Patio.
Do I waste the money on this or save my money and hold out hope that The Sims 5 will be announced in a few months or wait for possibly better packs?

Out of these if you do get a bundle I'd recommend City Living, Dine Out and Backyard Stuff.

The stuff packs you mentioned are a waste of money to me.
If these are the only packs you don't own then I would choose the mentioned. But if you don't have Seasons yet I would definitely recommend that over everything else.
Just wait for a sale. It's probably coming very soon.
The Sims 5 has not been announced yet so even if it does get announced in 2021. It will be another year till it gets released.
Which kinda makes their assertion that TS4 was meant to be friendly to lower-end computes all the more baffling. This is a very bloated and buggy game that gets even more bloated and buggy with each new pack.
As for the OP's question:
EP: Get Together. The basketball hoop and the gaming console are the only things that make City Living Worth buying. As a whole, that pack is awful.
GP: None of those options are....great. But I get the most use out of Spa day's features. Especially the yoga mats and the saunas.
SP: This is a tough one because I think all of those options are really good. And they all offer things that I couldn't play without, now that I have them. But if I reeeeeeeeeally had to choose one, it'd be perfect patio.
I guess that would put you $20, over your $50 budget...Then screw the Game Packs. But I'd recommend getting them when you can.
I won't tell you what decision to make, but I will say what I think of the packs I have that you're thinking of getting!
Get Together: Windenberg is super beautiful, especially if you have seasons. It might not be your style if you aren't into European architecture, but I really enjoy it and I've been replaying Veronaville from Sims 2, which is fun. I also feel like it's more "open" than other worlds even though it isn't really. I really like clubs too and use them all the time: for kids, various friend groups, study groups for teens, moms, rich country clubs, etc. I use the CAS and BB items all the time. There's a good variety of traditional/older and modern BB styles. Last patch update broke all the GT windows and doors but hoping for a fix soon.
City Living: I don't own this one (yet) but played quite a bit on my sister's game. TONS of great CAS and BB items that I always miss in my game after I've played hers. Living in the city feels like a different game to me. The neighbors do get annoying sometimes (just like my real life ones lol. rip my sleep). I really enjoy the festivals too, the seasons update broke that at some point but it may be fixed now. You can fully edit the inside of an apartment but not the windows or exterior.
Outdoor Retreat: love love love OR. I do wish Granite Falls wasn't a vacation world, because I can't actually live there, BUT it does it's job of making you feel like you're somewhere else very well, since I don't think the sims from their ever cross over. Lots of great CAS for active and/or outdoorsy sims especially. Crosses over well to seasons I think as well. Something I've been meaning to try is going on vacation with a club (or people from a club) and then going there with some of the scouts from Parenthood. I especially like all the new plants and how you can make things with the herbalism skill, which is perfect for vampires, gardeners, and vampire gardeners (and witches if I had ROM)
Perfect Patio: The cutest CAS items. Use them a ton, especially with seasons. The BB is really great but is more modern and contemporary so keep in mind if that's not your style. I've found good things both for family get togethers as well as fancy modern homes.
Bowling: my newest pack, I haven't actually been bowling yet! But all the CAS is really cute so far, I love the more retro styles so much.
I do have seasons already and I love it. Along with a few other packs. Just looking to expand but I'm horrible at deciding

Otherwise City Living does have the singing skill so your sim can become a street singer. But both the City Living and Get Together are good packs for the game.
I LOVE City Living. It's in my top 5. I never use the high-end apartments though. Apartments are fun, the quirks for the apts are fun, the different cultures are fun. The CAS is wonderful.
Get Together has Windenberg which I like too. It just doesn't have the same appeal for me that city living does. I do have my moments where I use it a lot, other times not at all.
University, I'm not a fan of a lot of it. I like the soccer ball, the CAS, the bikes, the skills classes.
Spa Day is my fave EP out of the 3 you listed, with Outdoor Retreat being second (Lots to do!), I cringe every time I think of my Sims going out to eat with Dine Out. So much that I am not a fan of.
Backyard wins for SP, Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, and then Bowling. Bowling has a lot of cute CAS stuff though. It's really just the bowling part of it that makes it last.
