I've gotten several packs like that more for the CAS/BB and other features than for every feature. I look through the content and make a decision whether to get something right away, whether to do a sale or generally wait. If I don't like one aspect of a pack but I like a lot of others, I'll still consider it and probably get it.
- Some of the features of EL did not interest me at all. I'm not interested in bugs, or a very dirty industrial world or in trash. I like that world, nearly all of the CAS/BB and enough other things about it. I have some interest in the eco concept and while they aren't perfect, I do use some of the NAPs so that different neighborhoods take on different characteristics.
- I don't really play with supernaturals aside from one vampire. I still got ROM and Vampires. (I only got Vampires later, I wasn't someone who got it and then complained; I do use the Victorian content). I turned Glimmerbrook into an Irish rural village setting. Forgotten Hollow is still an eerie vampire vale.
- I got MFPS in a sale. I don't use this one much, but I will as soon as I have some more nerdy kids in my game.
- There are other examples including of popular themes for which I wasn't completely crazy about everything in the pack but I still was interesting. Nifty Knitting was the opposite. I wanted another hobby so I was interested in adding the knitting. Most of the CAS/BB from that pack did not interest me. I still got it and added some knitting sims. If more activities that I want are added, I'll still be interested.
