Jungle Adventure, Get Famous or Get To Work?

Get to Work is one of my personal favourites. I adore following doctor or scientist Sims to work.
Has some decent hairstyles, furniture and other content too.

Admittedly I don’t own Jungle Adventures or Get Famous yet, though have been toying with the idea of buying new content myself and these are on my radar..

I'd do either Get To Work or Jungle Adventure. Probably Get To Work because of the work aseptic of it and gives you more stuff to do. I actually haven't played the Jungle Adventure pack recently. I kind of keep forgetting I have it. May have my Sim do it once she's done with University.

I am especially keen on the doctor career. Also, the fact you can have babies at the hospital with that, I'm such a realistic, mainly family player that I love those little things like choosing home or hospital birth! I thought the CAS and BB looked good too. How is the retail element? I like the idea of running businesses like in TS2 Open for Business but heard it's not quite the same?

Ahh okay thank you for your input! Would you say the careers are replayable after you've followed the active careers the first time?

I'd say wait for the next sale for Get Famous because the actor career is bugged right now and maybe by the next sale they'll have fixed it.

I found the Detective career a little repetitive before I even finished it the first time, but I still would probably do it again after enough time passes. The Doctor career has been a bit less repetitive, as you get access to additional tests and procedures as you level up. I also enjoy the challenge that you actually have to watch the patient to observe their symptoms to get the correct diagnosis, it won't just be spelled out for you when you run tests. I haven't finished it yet because my doctor sim is very family oriented and has used a lot of vacation days.
I have never finished the scientist career but I have started it several times and it's actually my favorite at the lower levels. I'm about to try it again with a sim that just aged up from teen today.
I haven't tried the retail system, but I have heard it has less depth and complexity than Open for Business.

Jungle Adventure has a lot of depth to it that I haven't even tried yet, despite having had it for years. The scenery is lovely. I have been to the temple once, and have taken families for slightly less adventurous vacations a few times, staying mostly on the cantina and museum lots. I'm really looking forward to getting further into the archaeology skill and putting together artifacts, but I haven't actually done much of that yet.

I would choose Jungle Adventure easily out of those three. Even though it's technically a vacation world, I love to just take my Sims to Selvadorada for the day sometimes. The jungle is absolutely amazing and one of the things I like about this pack is that there are some actual challenges and danger. There are a lot of deadly and poisonous bugs in the jungle, so it's good to stock up on some of the merchandise that the table vendors have in town. (Or don't, if you like to take risks. ;) ) Not all areas can be explored in one visit though, so there is always reason to return.

Archaeology is an awesome skill and you can find all kinds of treasure as you excavate dirt piles. Some of the treasures have mystical properties and a variety of curses or effects. There's also new foods and new dances you can learn with the Selvadoradan culture skill. And some new collectibles. It works really well with the supplies from Outdoor Retreat, so if you have the tents, you can camp out in the dangerous jungle.

The temple itself has five different layouts so again, the pack is reusable because it will take at least five visits to see them all. I like the traps in the temple but I do wish they had been a little more dangerous. I tend to randomly select which of my Sims try out a trap to bring more risk, but they can also be figured out fairly easily if you want to breeze through the temple. You'll want to bring skilled Sims, though. Certain skills like Logic could be important to solving a trap puzzle.

In general I think it's a pretty solid pack, it's gorgeous, and engaging. I don't have anything bad to say about it. <3

My favourite among those three options is Jungle Adventures. I like to explore the jungle. It seems to me that the outcome change each time you do it. I like the archeology skill. It's cool and you can make a personal museum at home after finding some beautiful artifacts. But the scenery! Omg, it's gorgeous! I've taken my sims in vacations there without exploring or diving into the archeology skill too and it's really cool. Your sims can talk to locals and learn new recipes and the native dance.

Get to work would be my second choice. I haven't tried the doctor and scientist career yet, but the detective carrer is cool. It has depth, but it can get repetitive over time. The retail system is different from ofb in sims 2. The major difference imo is that you can't have a retail in your home lot. So you have to face loading screens everytime you want to open the store. But you can sell pretty much anything that the game offers, including buy items, like furniture, electronics... cooked and bakeed goods, clothing items... a lot of stuff... your imagination is your limit. Or you can have retail stores to go shopping.

Get famous is my least favourite, not just from your options, but it's my least favourite from all expansion packs. Atm the acting career is bugged, and that's really anoying as it is the feature i really like from the pack. Im also not very inclined to the fame system... it does have both a video and music production station that allows you to be an influencer if that's your thing...

At the end it depends on what you want. There are some nice guides out there, like carl sim's guides and simsvip guides that can help you deciding. Also LGR reviews in youtube are very honest.

Get Famous is great for how well-integrated fame is into everything else (though unless you're an Actor, MAN is it a GRIND). The world is gorgeous, but SMALL, but the CAS assets are really great. A fan of the Murkland challenge? GF's got you covered. Superheroes? Get Famous. Good hair? Yep. Good fashion? To a point. Want to play a one percenter? Yep, perfect for that.

Jungle Adventure is repetitive, but the build options are great, as are the storytelling options. I use Selvadorada as a gap year destination, and design the world itself as Far Cry, but in The Sims. It also finally gives your Sims a reason to visit museums, for you can build really elaborate Omiscan exhibits with artefacts (and Build/Buy objects) that you've collected yourself.

(Think of the Discover University cross-play! Not only could you have a gap year, you could join the Education career and play a professor who explores ancient ruins... eg Indiana Jones)

Get to Work is... fine. It was the first Sims 4 EP, and under a vastly different design philosophy than the later packs. They were still learning what worked well in TS4, and what didn't. It adds some normal careers, which the base game sorely needed, but you also get some weirdness with Aliens, which are basic, but fun.

Jungle Adventure is one of my favs. I love the CAS/Build and while it's repetitive it's a lot of fun and has a very beautiful world.

Get to Work jobs are fun, and if you have it your Sims can give birth in the hospital and get birth certificates as well. It comes with Aliens as well but I don't play them at all (I don't enjoy playing occult stuff really ) and unless you are in the scientist career you rarely get abducted.

Get Famous career is pretty fun too and again, the world is nice, but I'd probably only get it after getting the other packs.

I would def consider going the bundle route with Get to Work/Jungle/Stuff Pack.

Do you ahve all the other packs besides these ones?

Oh! I just want to add that Get to Work comes with Aliens! So if you're looking for a new Occult to play, you can create them. There's also a hidden Alien world.

The science career is my favorite in that pack. I think it's the best one and it's fun to play.

As for Get Famous, I waited for a sale myself because I don't really care about the whole celebrity angle. But I was really, really pleased with the extensive amount of costumes! Victorian, Apocalyptic, superhero... it allows me to fill in some of the theme gaps that I want in my game. So if you like fantastical stuff, you may enjoy that too.
