Cross-Pack Gameplay

I didn't know that about Get Famous and Discover University. I don't have many famous sims though.

I like using Plopsy from Nifty Knitting for my sims to make money. I've used it for flower arranging from Seasons, photography, and of course candle making. I usually register my sims as self-employed as a Plopsy seller.

Fame, Reputation, and Club system are well integrated.Swimming is in more worlds now too, still wish Oasis Springs lake and Windenburg Island had swimming though. I like the way new plants are added to so many packs. I’ve used sales tables and like the way plopsy works. I like all the plants being brought to the game.

I have to agree the club system is really well integrated, such as including behaviours from various expansions as club actions like “cast spells” from realm of magic.

The custom holidays option in Seasons also includes options that relate to unrelated packs, for example there are options to create a Halloween-themed holiday with suggested actions such as “interact with vampires” or “carve a pumpkin” from the Spooky Stuff pack.

I made a teen bowling team (bowling night stuff) by forming a club (get together) and when my teens aged up, they got bowling skill scholarships when they applied to Uni. (discover university)

Vampires who drink from possessed Sims (Strangerville) become possessed too. I love that! ?

Also if you use it to make drinks with the juice fizzer in Eco Lifestyle

Being able to use cats and dogs as familiars for realm of magic

I just took my young Global Superstar through Uni. He was able to qualify for scholarships. Nobody asked him about his finances and ability to pay. He got straight A +s all three Terms and graduated. :) Yes, his fellow Sims on campus recognized him, left, right and sideways, but other than that there was no interference from either pack. They played nicely together. That's why I'm hopeful Cottage Living can be applied IE gardening in the other neighborhoods if I can't feasibly have my Sims live in HoB.

I think Jungle Adventure has been one of my favorites for playing nicely with other packs. Mermaids make excellent Selvadoradan explorers. They can just hop in the many pools around the jungle and sleep, and their hydration stays high so hygiene isn't an issue. The different berries from the Tree of Emotions are perfect for juice fizzing from Eco Lifestyle; the juice will give the moodlet that corresponds to the berry it was made from, so I don't have to keep looking up different effects. I haven't played with that too much, but I don't see a lot of people mentioning that when talking about fizzing. One of my favorite restaurants using the Dine Out pack is a Selvadoradan themed restaurant; the whole menu is all the special foods, the restaurant uses all the build/buy items, and the employees all dress up. It's such an easy restaurant theme.

Vampire vets can make plasma packs from pets in the surgery machine. Don't worry, the pet is fine :)

This is soooo interesting. The idea that we can farm our pets plasma kinda irks me, but I'm glad that they're fine haha.
