Black Friday Sale - but what stuff packs to buy?
This is the list of 7 stuff packs I don't own, it's tempting to buy more as the sale is at 50% discount! Could you please help me choose which out of these you think are worth getting the most?

I didn't vote because I couldn't decide on just one, but here are my thoughts.
Personally, Tiny Living and Laundry Day are my favorite when it comes to building. I find myself using the objects very often, as they offer a good variety. Picking just one would depend mostly on the style you like to use the most. In terms of gameplay objects, if you like recreating everyday life and having your sims tend to their home, Laundry Day gives you that. It's nice to have different ways of doing laundry based on your sim's lifestyle, but, as many things in this game, will eventually become repetitive. Tiny Living basically doesn't bring anything for gameplay, unless you think occasionally repairing a bed, risking injury and death if you don't, is interesting gameplay. I'd really only buy that pack if you are a builder.
In terms of gameplay, Moschino has a clear advantage, with improved studio photography and a new independent career. I haven't used it much, as I got it recently, but considering the objects available in other packs, it's a pretty clear winner. The windows are nice too for builders.
In my opinion, Fitness stuff would come second in terms of gameplay. The climbing wall is difficult to fit into a build, but being able to workout with just a tv is really helpful, and the earbuds can be nice too. This pack also brings quite a few nice objects for building. For an overall usability (taking into account both gameplay and building), it's my favorite.
I really can't recommend the three others, though they are not necessarily entirely bad. Some people might enjoy the buffet table and drink fountain from Luxury Party, but in terms of items, the pack is quite sparse and the items are garish. I basically never use this pack except for some CAS items and the buffet table.
I liked Perfect Patio more. It has some nice items (and extra swimsuit options, which we don't have many of otherwise. The problem is that its unique gameplay feature is now available in base game, so unless you are a builder or in dire need of new swimwear for your sims, it isn't worth it.
My First Pet Stuff is... well it got a lot of backlash, didn't it? I don't think it's that bad as a stuff pack, though. It brought pet clothing I don't care for, but the new items for pets do look very nice. The rodents can be fun to play with, though the item for them is quite big and very colourful, fitting for a kids' room. In fact, most of the build/buy objects that are not for use by pets are quite childish, with bright colours and funny patterns, so it is useful if you play with families and want fun kid's rooms and play rooms, but that's about it.
