    Hu guys! I'm picking up Realm of Magic, since I'm a big supernatural fan and I've been on a Sims break for a while, but the sale is a great time to start playing again! I have all the expansions other than Get Famous, and a couple of game packs, but only one stuff pack. So I'm planning to get RoM and a stuff pack. What do you recommend? What did you get? Just want a fun thread to kill time. :)

      None at the moment. I might get Tiny Living if it goes on sale, but I don't want any other stuff packs that I don't currently own. I am also missing Dine Out and Cats and Dogs but I hear that the former has a lot of bugs and is very slow, and the latter causes a lot of sick and homeless pets to spawn and that's just heartbreaking. Plus, I used pets less and less frequently in each iteration of the game and I know you can't control the pets this time so it seems like I wouldn't get the use out of it.

      I have Cats and Dogs and I’ve never really experienced problems with it. I picked up RoM, tested it out a bit and it looks pretty fun! I’ll probably make a fun family with one of the parents being a regular sim to add a bit of story to it! :) Also, I’d het Tiny Living only for the bunk beds.

      There aren't any bunk beds in Tiny Living, they don't exist in the game yet. But the pack does come with Murphy beds and a 3 tiered build challenge that gives lot rewards and gameplay bonuses for how small your house is.

      And also, a cool new Ghost type!

      I'm buying TS4 for the first time, just built a PC after being with a mac (having TS3) for years.... which expansion packs are the ones to go for?

      I want to purchase every expansion, game and stuff pack there is. However, I only want to make one purchase on everything. I'm currently having trouble doing that. It will allow me to purchase an expansion pack, game or stuff pack at once, or do a bundle where I can purchase an expansion, game or stuff pack. There's no way to contact EA about wanting to do this either.

      I bought Cats and Dogs, Seasons, and Discover University, Vampires, Strangerville, Spooky Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Bowling Night Stuff, and Fitness Stuff on sale.

      The rest of the items I have (Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Island Living, Parenthood, Realm of Magic, Laundry Day Stuff, and Tiny Living Stuff) I bought for full price, got as gifts, or won in a giveaway.

      I'm planning on getting Spa Day next time it goes on sale, and if I have the money I'll add Jungle Adventure too.

      I’m considering getting Outdoor Retreat as it might add more to my current gameplay style of playing off the grid and living off the land. And it has the herbalism skill. Other than that, I think there is a lot of content I’ve haven't explored in the game yet so I’m not in a rush to buy anything else.

      2 days ago I was dead set on not getting anything other than Tiny Living when it goes on sale, now I'm wondering if I should get it in a bundle with Cats and Dogs and Dine Out. Sometimes I really hate my brain!

      I can't keep track because I surfed a lot of sales. I know I got ROM on sale. I did a lot of bundling an EP, GP and SP to reduce the total cost. I did that with Get Famous, Discover University and some others. I think that's a good way to get stuff packs that you like but don't have.

      The world is pretty small but Get Famous is probably a good choice if you want a sim or sims to pursue fame. I actually like DU though it sounds like there are mixed opinions from others. It just depends on whether you want to be a more supernatural or realistic player.

      Definitely RoM. Stranerville is that pack that you play once and never touch it ever again, since it's story based.

      I’m getting Outdoor Retreat because I love camping irl and I’ve wanted it for a long time for my sim families. I’m also getting Spa Day mostly because I want the yoga skill. I’m thinking about getting Perfect Patio while it’s on sale but I’m on the fence.

      I have most packs, but I might get Moschino or My First Pet if there's a -50% sale on those.

      It seems Seasons is still pretty popular these days.

      But I feel RoM is like Vampires. I played Vampires once and never played again. Strangerville feels like a new direction that I never played before. .. hmmm ...

      I'm pretty sure I've gotten every pack minus Seasons on sale. SPs I'd recommend are Kids Room, Toddler, Laundry, Cool Kitchen, and Backyard Stuff.

      Strangerville is the pack that you either love or hate, nothing in between. I absolutely adore Strangerville and am in my fourth playthrough at the moment. None was finished in under seven sims weeks, so for me the pack was good value for money. But truth be told, you could finish the story in about three real life hours and then all that's left are a new new career (military) and a two-neighborhood town. I really don't know whether to recommend or to warn about that pack.

      None, The ones I don’t have I don’t want. My top recommendations would be Parenthood, Seasons, & Discover University.

      I like a lot of the stuff that comes with it, plus the military career. I tried the quest months ago and failed at the last hurdle (my main sim died)so I didn't have the heart to try it again. The save I started yesterday is the first time I have planned to try it again and right now I am not at the right point in the "story" to initiate it. I got the pack with money off so for me it was worth it but I wouldn't want to constantly redo the quest. Fortunately it's easy enough to ignore the storyline in saves where you don't want to use the world itself.
