My toxic trait: I buy the pack thinking it looks cool (because in theory, it does) and that it'll finally get me to play the game again, only to play it for 1-2 hours and put the game back in rest mode.
I think I have to start accepting that whatever this game is - and it's not even all bad - is what it'll always be, and no pack or pack activity can fix that. Very rarely do I get into hard storytelling mode and I can play TS4 for 1-2 weeks with high levels of enthusiasm but ... it hasn't happened in a long, long while (like years if we exclude the 4 or so days I enjoyed playing with horses), and that I should put my money elsewhere. I know this but I do it anyway lol. Why? Beats me.
Honestly tho, a little story time with regards to For Rent: right before it came out, I tried one of the challenges (the one where you wanna become a famous chef but your stove keeps catching on fire) with a single-person household in San Sequoia. And I was both extremely annoyed (like fr, I get that the stove catching on fire is supposed to make achieving your goals more challenging and all but EVERY SINGLE TIME, wtf sims team? People blame Riot for not being able to balance their game, but y'all are even worse lmao), and bored to tears. Cause without a family to interact with ... nothing happens? At all? Anywhere? And then For Rent came out and I quickly realized I had the exact same feeling with my two-person tenant household. And the bugs. The BUGS, omg the bugs. Why are there so many bugs, why is every mechanic and sims mood completely overtuned? I'm just. I can't. I don't wanna be negative, I get that some people get a lot out of this game, and I feel like at one point I did too, but every single time I try, I simply can't remember how I ever did that. It just makes me sad, and For Rent made that feeling 1000x more obvious to me lol.
Phew, my bad, I guess I had to get this off my chest xD
