Jungle adventure worth buying?
Please give me you feedback, what do you think about this game pack. I don't know what to do, part of me says for me to buy it, the other part says it's not worth the price, and maybe someday, because...

Not sure if you've made your decision yet, OP considering it's been over a week now, but I thought I would throw my two cents in.
Two things you need to know before you listen to my response:
1. My play style is very family oriented - I love building legacies and watching family trees grow.
2. I was so generously gifted this pack, so I did not pay the full price for it.
Here are my thoughts:
I love it!! Does it change the overall nature of the game? No. Does it add anything to family/generational play? No. But what it does do is give your sims something fun to do, and it actually is challenging. I created a thread detailing the first time I went into the jungle, and let's just say it did not end well. My sim actually died :lol: It wasn't part of a legacy or anything like that. She was just a one off sim that I had made to explore this pack. And the funny thing is, I didn't intend for her to die! She caught on fire, and by the time I realized that there was a pool, or she could just extinguish herself, it was too late! So if you know all the features of how to save a sim and are prepared, you will be fine. But I actually found it super enjoyable without knowing how to solve everything. It made it that much more risky.
Now, here is the thing. As I said, I am a family/generational player, so I will admit that the usefulness of this pack isn't that high for me. I absolutely enjoyed it the first time I went, but unless I am playing a story where I want a sim in a particular generation to become an archaeologist, which I may, then I'm not sure how much use I will get out of this pack once I explore all of it. So for me, the replayability isn't quite there. But what is there is a lot of fun. Now, I know the gurus addressed the replayability issue by making sure that you don't have the same experience every time you enter the jungle, and I tip my hat to how they approached that issue, but the fact is that packs like this I won't use all the time.
So overall, do I think it's worth it? I really think it depends on your playstyle. It doesn't really suit mine, but I'm still having a lot of fun playing around with it! So it is definitely an amazing pack, but whether you think it's worth it is up to you.
