Re: Whats sims pack do you regret buying

City Living

The apartments are practically unplayable between the camera bouncing around and the bugged neighbors that are always “too loud” for your sims to sleep all night every night even in fancy penthouses.

The careers are extremely bugged as well and hard to play working from home.

I really wanted that keyboard as an alternative to the grand piano but now there’s upright pianos in Growing Together and Horse Ranch.

I wanted the karaoke bar as an activity for my sims to do as a group, but they’re completely bugged if you actually try to visit as a group.

I don’t use the lot traits & challenges as much as I thought I would.

Cats don’t chase mice.

Keyholders always come over and drink dozens of glasses of water.

The flea market and festivals are kind of cool though. When they work. And if your Sim doesn’t have pets or kids. It can be infuriating though trying to learn all the recipes while townies keep stealing every meal you buy before you can! 🤦🏼‍♀️

DHD has been fine for a while now, when was the last time you tried the interior decorator career? I mean, I bought Snowy Escape after HSY (yeah I know out of sequence), but I used a DHD Career in Snowy Escape, granted the DHD was pretty broken for a  while what with the likes being unknown causing complaints, now it's easier, they just randomly choose a bunch of likes (from the upto 50!) and go with those 3 - 4, instead of trying to tell you the person hates every color except blue lol, now you know Paint in Yellow. Also I remember when DHD caused profiles to bug so badly that people were getting "unlisted" from the profiles (had to recreate my world because of that :/)

@PipMenace , the first thing I do with the Spice Festival from City Living is to go to the table that lets you sample them for free, but instead of just taking a taste, I grab a whole plate for free!  There are 5 to choose from and it changes every time!  But this is only for the Spice Festival.  But even so, it is a great way to learn recipes without spending money or worrying about an NPC stealing your food! 😅

All of them at the moment. We have loads of bugs and things not working properly. The new App is a disaster and the News Feed has been removed from the Gallery which upsets Creators like me.

Kind regards James.

@LeissaMyst , I have taken food from some NPC festival goers as well! 😳🤭 But I can't always rely on getting it away from them quickly enough.  😅

@Theenaabeenaa , for me it was the opposite.  Island Living at least works pretty well for me.🥳  Sims 3 Island Paradise lagged so much that it made the game almost unplayable for a lot of people, including myself.😭  It is one of the most beloved packs for the concepts that it had, but was also considered by many to be the most poorly optimized.  I know some people got around this with Mods or with a better computer, but Mods gave me a lot of problems on the Sims 3 so I stopped using all of them.  And not everyone can afford a better computer.  
I did love the houseboats in Island Paradise, but the Mermaids are prettier in Island Living. 

I do use Island Living swimwear all the time , and I also love the clothing it has for my Sims Hot Weather Outfits , even those that don't live in Sulani. 😎  And I use the world and gameplay of Island Living more than I use the World and gameplay of Get Famous. ( But then again my favorite pack to make my Sims celebrities was the Sims 1 Superstar!  🥰)
