How would you rank the Game Packs?
Pretty self explanatory thread! How would you rank all of the Game Packs against each other based on personal preference, and why? If you don't own a certain pack just exclude it :) For me my ranki...

1. Vampires: Forgotten Hollow has a nice flavor, and the BB/CAS is so unique and full of personality, yet still versatile enough to use in tons of different ways. The vampires have amazing customization options, they don't level up too fast, and they have so many fun gameplay elements that make them stand out. I don't use them all the time, since they don't always fit into my gameplay, but I always have fun when I'm using them.
2. Jungle Adventure: Exploring the ruins is fun, Selvadorada is full of culture and personality, the food and drinks are a treat, the BB/CAS is chef's kiss, and I love making archaeologists and having them study artifacts. I'd say the only big flaws come from the world is terrible as a vacation spot since you can't do anything there besides jungle adventuring, and that the world is too small to make more fun destinations to try and rectify this.
3. Realm of Magic: Despite it being underdeveloped and full of wasted potential, I love this pack. It has many flaws that make it weaker than Vampires, but the flaws are outweighed by the positives. Witches are part of my everyday gameplay, they add so much to my enjoyment of the game.
4. Dine Out: I don't experience the glitches and bugs everyone else is facing, so restaurants work fine for me most of the time. I absolutely love managing a restaurant, even if it can get repetitive. If we had more lots, I'd have chain restaurants and play a lot more with them.
5. Parenthood: Honestly, I barely notice this pack, but I love the BB/CAS. The problem with it is that the bonuses are pretty insignificant and sims don't have personalities or consequences, so I never notice the character values and phases having an effect on my gameplay. But I like the diary, being able to volunteer, the mood swings, and some of the other small details. I feel that this pack'd be rated higher if sims had more personality though, so we could see it have more of an effect on sims' behavior.
6. Spa Day: The BB is niche but pretty, the CAS is decent. But the spa stuff is surprisingly cute. It's nice to send my sims to the spa to relax, and I like to have sims practice yoga as a hobby. I don't use its content all the time, but it's a pleasant treat when I do.
7. StrangerVille: No.
8. Outdoor Retreat: At least StangerVille has good BB/CAS and a unique world. Outdoor Retreat just has a tiny forest with nothing to do. I only bought this for tents, and even then I barely use them anymore. Herbalism is a good idea, but it's such a nothingburger. But otherwise, it's just inoffensive and bland, so I have less hatred for it than I do for StrangerVille.
