Given the latest sale...choice made!

Thanks everyone! I decided to go with Strangerville, since people made some good points about having a new world to expand into. Laundry day also seems to be a popular pick, so I looked at it, and I'm not a huge fan of the style? Like, the CAS and build fashion and such isn't really my thing, but it seems to have a lot of fans, so I will definitely consider that the next time there's a sale!

That's great you chose :). I love the strangerville pack and hope you do too :)

As for laundry day, if the build stuff isn't your style and you aren't interested in laundry I'd skip it. It's one of my Fav packs but I went through similar with spa day haha. I didn't see anything that I really liked in it but I bought it cuz everyone was saying how amazing the build stuff was and I figured I was missing something haha. After buying it though well I found one or two things I like but just small things that were not worth the price even on sale and I regret spending the money. The majority of packs I love but I realise now you don't need to collect them all, but rather build your game to your liking, picking and choosing what you want and don't want in it and it might not be what others like.

I already have all the packs so I did a very "evil" thing and gifted a non sims playing friend the base game, seasons, and cats and dogs. three hours later I got a phone call from the newly created sims addict * evil giggle*

Laundry Day and StrangerVille are both good. The former has great CAS content, and while laundry can get annoying, it adds a nice layer of immersion. I rag on Stuff Packs a lot, but this is easily one of, if not the best one.

StrangerVille's story is garbage, but it has many great Build Mode items, a solid take on the Military career, laptops and a comfy neighborhood. It's really well done as a whole. I can't stress this enough, but I think you should buy it for everything else but the story.

Both are worth getting on sale, but my vote goes to StrangerVille because I feel like it offers more.

I should have added that I like all of these packs. Even Fitness stuff, while I dont use the climbing wall much it has alot of bb/clothing that I do use.

Edit forgot about MFP. That is one pack I dont own. I'm debating it myself, but the fish tank coffee table is the only thing that seems useful.

I don't even have the money to get any packs WITH the sale.

I have finished it yet, but the strangerville mystery is so much fun!

Strangerville is the only game pack you've listed, and since game packs have more content and more gameplay features than stuff packs...
But it is a really great pack, great CAS, good build/buy, amazing world and a the story is pretty fun too.
Otherwise I'd say, get laundry day and MFP, since you're a family player those will suit your play style best. Because doing laundry is a very domestic activity and my first pet comes with a lot of cute stuff for kids.

The only reason why I choose MFP because prioritizing EP and GP is an unwritten rule in Sims sale ? I assume you are more inclined to play with child sims, so MFP is a nice pack to complement that. However, if you like to play adult aspect of family life more, Laundry Day is more suitable.
