Hi, I don't count as a new member yet so I can't make an official post, so I figured I would post my question as a comment on a few related forums.
I've only ever played sims 2, bought the whole collection right around when sims 3 was coming out so I had the complete experience. Moved, got rid of my desktop, hadn't thought about the sims in a while. Came back from college last summer and found the game in the app store from ASPYR. Downloaded it, but it didn't include Apartment life and Freetime, and I felt like the experience was lacking... I LOVED apartments. Mostly because I felt like it was the closest I could get to story progression in Sims 2, that was one thing I always liked hearing about in the Sims 3.
So now I've decided to make the switch with the on going sale. Keeping in mind that I've never played Sims 3, what packs would you recommend? I like to play for the experience of creating a family and seeing how their children live their life, but I haven't gotten a lot of chance to get too far down the line in Sim 2 as I like to play through every household to keep the ages lined up. I figure I'll download the MCCC for the story progression. I'm getting the vibe that I would like Parenthood for sure, and City Living and Get Together (maybe get to work? does that make sense as a third choice or is it more fun than the others)? Do people think those add good game elements? what other ones are favorites/which are other favorite game or stuff packs?
Also seeing there are bundles on sale, like I could get the base game and dogs/cats for a decent price and then
City Living, Dine Out, Bowling Night Stuff
Get Together, Spa Day, Movie Hangout Stuff
Get to Work, Outdoor Retreat, Luxury Party Stuff
are one of these bundles the best combo/deal? Seems like the get together one might be..
Thank you!! Let me know if there's a better place to put this! looking forward to joining the community :-)
