Game Packs ranking
After doing the EP ranking I thought it would be fun to do GP ranking :) Jungle Adventure Strangerville Vampires Spa Day Outdoor Retreat Dine Out Parenthood Realm of M...

Here comes my entirely subjective ranking of the GPs. I'm emphasising this here (and a few more times down the line) because if I were to rank these packs objectively (assigning more priority to things like novelty, uniqueness, bugs, and overall playability), the list would look a little different. But I decided to focus on my personal preferences and how much I need each pack for my gameplay.
12. Star Wars: Journey to Batuu
Don't own, don't need. I've never even seen the Star Wars movies.
11. Dream Home Decorator
I hate building, will never touch the active career. Not much else to touch either, no world, skills or traits, just furniture.
10. Outdoor Retreat
Interesting concept, boring execution. Before I started using a mod to make Granite Falls a residential world, I kept forgetting it even exists. Herbalism skill much more trouble than it's worth.
09. Dine Out
Just restaurants, nothing else. And they don't even work right. Should have been part of the Get To Work EP.
08. My Wedding Stories
Personally not interested in weddings. Only using it for the world, CAS and BB. The world is in fact the only reason this ranks higher than the previous GPs.
07. Parenthood
Objectively one of the best packs with stuff for the entire family and objects for the entire house. Subjectively, I don't play with traditional families all too often.
06. Werewolves
As an occult player, I thought I was going to love this pack. But werewolves are way too high-maintenance and difficult to integrate, making it a very isolated experience.
05. StrangerVille
Great world and atmosphere, but loses some of its charm after completing the story. Probably wouldn't be this high on my list if I didn't have this irrational love for American deserts (that I've never been to and wouldn't enjoy in real life because I can't stand heat).
04. Spa Day
Easy to integrate into sims' homes and everyday lives without them having to actively seek it out, unlike weddings and owning restaurants. Most of my households have at least one member who uses some aspect of this pack, and the CAS and BB items are among my favourites.
03. Jungle Adventure
I love Tomb Raider, and this is basically the pack for it. Also love that the temple isn't always the same, and that archaeology can become a stay-at-home career once your level is high enough.
02. Vampires
The first GP to introduce a residential world. Also comes with a new occult and various ways to play it, three aspirations, and two skills. Arguably one of the biggest and most elaborate GPs yet.
01. Realm of Magic
Objectively not a great pack with all the missed opportunities. But I want witches above all else, this pack gives me witches, so it will never be dethroned.
