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! 🤦🏼♀️

My least favorite sims pack in general was the Bust the Dust Kit (which is more of the functionality than the rest of "Kit Content", so I'm counting it towards your question), beyond that I didn't really appreciate all the rabbit holes in most of the Sims 4 Packs that had them (a bit of a pet peeve tbpf), and this latest pack "Take the Reins" reminded me of that with the horse championships.
My Favorite Pack without a doubt however, is the pack "High School Years", and a close second is "Get to Work"; these are rare gems, in a world that has mostly been reduced to glamor and text, these packs I felt told more story than the average ones. High School Years did something I didn't expect, which was let us walk around INSIDE the school. this was it's best feature, and one of the few ways in which Sims 4 met and exceeded the properties of Sims 3 - granted still no open world, but just being able to go inside what was always a rabbit hole before, this was like a dream, and they even went the extra mile and made the school redecorateable, and a physical location on the map (as opposed to Get to Work where they used "Off-map" Areas to simulate work enviroments)

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 :/)

@ForanzoF I ended up getting the Seasons pack taken out of my game. I like nice weather and it not killing my plants. I didn't think the furniture was all that great in the pack anyway so no loss. I did like the flower arranging table. I'm happier with out my sims over heating and freezing. LOL that pack is way to ambitious for me.
James Turner has a program to block packs you would rather play without. However the EA app keeps trying to put them back in.

@simsplayer818 LittleMsSam has a mod for no dirty sick strays. I like it and use the one for taking many pets for a walk at once. You don't have to leash them. Takes you and the pets into a rabbit hole just off the edge of your property and they all come back in 30 mins or 60 mins and they are all happy and full too.
She really has some of the best mods.
@ReneHollyDesign1 I wish we had mods on console for that very reason. I'm always so envious of the ability to use mods to fix some of the biggest (and in the case of strays, most distressing) problems with the game. I'm so impressed by the talents of modders.
I love Seasons content but I disable weather, cut winter to 7 days and grow plants indoors in a greenhouse if I need them as sheltered plants behave differently. I have a farmer's market where Sims can buy preserves and fertilizer, rare harvestables, etc. They can also harvest every plant in the game if they help with the gardening and the most special ones are sheltered so they are always there. It's in Oasis Springs too so the weather is better.
On the subject of packs though, one thing that's annoying me lately is the uncomfortable furniture. When I pay full price for an expensive pack I expect useable furniture. I love Horse Ranch so much but my Sims hate the beds and get up in the morning full of aches and pains for 3 hours. I know we can upgrade some but my Sims don't always have the time or skills, especially my busy Sims. I don't use half of the beds in my game, except for in background character's lots or guest rooms. Dine Out booths are another example. They look so good but my Sims hate them and complain they are cheap.

@simsplayer818 Awe I'm sorry you cant' use mods it is really helpful for sure. The rain all the time in seasons made me feel depressed for the sims. I like rain in real life but in the game it's so dark and dreary! The furniture is a pain for the Sims at poor backsides. My sims complain a bunch too. No idea why they didn't put furniture in with better comfort ratings.
The home decorator channel get's my sims started. I recently started getting my sim tester to update all beds, appliances and electronics in my builds before I upload. If it weren't for U.I cheats they wouldn't have been good enough to do all the upgrades. I feel bad for you not having mods.
I did make many greenhouses in the game when I had seasons. Even a huge community green house with perfect plants. I made it a bar so I didn't have to deal with restrictions for community lots. LOL Nice chatting to you @simsplayer818

@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! 😅
- LeissaMyst3 years agoRising Veteran@PugLove888 Don't worry about NPCs stealing, just steal it from a random table :P

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.
