Realm of Magic vs. Strangerville
Hey everyone. I'm looking to build a bundle to buy some packs I don't have since bundles are only $33 currently. I have chosen Eco Living and Tiny Living, but i'm struggling to decide between ROM or S...

Eco Lifestyl has two vibes, right? Modern and grungy. Tiny Living fits the green side, and guess who best fit the other? Strangerville. I couldn't think of a more cohesive bundle.
Strangerville even deals with plants too. These 3 together would make a great big expansion in the likes of the Sims 2 ones.
This is actually a really good point. I personally like to put themes together so if you are looking for a thematic bundle, this suggestion is perfect. Strangerville has some really good grungy build/buy in it as well as some nice Victorian pieces and weird plant stuff. The CAS is interesting and a little bit "southwest USA" and the world is pretty cool with a few more lots than most Game Packs have. Just keep in mind though, that the world starts out weird, not "normal", and you'll have to play through the story to get it to a normal state if you want. Also, Eco Lifestyle does not affect Strangerville.
Realm of Magic is one of my favorites, but I love to play Occults. It actually comes with two small worlds, but one is the magic realm and you can't live there or build without a cheat. The other, Glimmerbrook, is a beautiful woodland area that feels both peaceful and mystical. Great for Sims who want to live in a little bit of rural isolation. The build/buy is an absolutely gorgeous art deco style with a little fantastical twist. Roundish doors and stained glass...it's just beautiful. And the CAS has some great outfits from hoodies and streetwear to cute dresses to odd styles. But if you like more "normal" gameplay, you might not get as much out of this pack because most of it has a sort of mysterious, magical flavor.
I think they're both great overall, so it's a win-win. :)
