Should I get StrangerVille?

I have great fun with the Strangerville pack and I have not completed the goal so far but that is because of my way of playing. I am not so goal oriented in so far as my sims doesn't have to complete different aspirations but I am more interested in that the different packs forms opportunities for my Sims to have adventures there while going on with their daily life.

@CareyWarrior what did you end up buying?

So, the only reason why I'm thinking of getting this pack is because of the military career! I really want that career mostly because of a particular sim that I'm playing(roleplaying) as he grows up he joins the military (navy in real life but we can't be too specific in this game! lol) Anyways, I currently have Get to Work, Get Famous, Seasons, Get Together, Discover University, City living, and Cats & Dogs as my expansions! My game packs I have only Dine out and Spa Day! I am thinking of just waiting on a sale but we might not get one until summer? Or is there usually one in April?

I have the Strangerville pack, and I'm very happy I bought it. I played the actual story only twice, but I use the CAS and BB stuff all the time. The story playing out in Strangerville is self-contained - it won't affect your other worlds.

And if you want to use the military career, your Sim doesn't have to live in Strangerville - I have Sims in the military career in other worlds.

Also, once you solve the mystery, you have a choice to toggle the "strangeness" level in Strangerville: so if you wish, you can turn it into a normal world, without anything "bizarre" going on anymore.

Well as luck would have it, its on sale now! Are there any notable stuff packs I should get this with?

What don't you have?

What I don't have in expansion packs is eco life style, island living, and snowy escape. Game packs I only have Dine out and Spa Day. I was also thinking of getting realm of magic to!

Couple of things to note: If you don't want to play the story of Strangerville, and you are not opposed to mods, Bienchen has one that bypasses the storyline and sets the town as if everything is solved. Even the weird plants go away. Also, I have seen one of the infected townies at a festival in San Myshuno. I didn't interact with him, and thought it was a minor annoyance.

As to what other packs to get, it depends on what you enjoy doing. I enjoy Island Living and Snowy Escape because of the locations, and because you can set rental lots. I tend to use those worlds as vacation destinations. Of the two, I prefer Island Living. It is very lovely and I do enjoy the water activities. I don't play mermaids, so I can't speak about that. I really enjoy Jungle Adventure more than I thought I would. In my opinion, it has a lot of gameplay value. I think that any of those could be used in a military storyline as possible 'deployment locations' or something involving 'a secret mission'. If you wanted to go that way... :)

I think any of those packs are well worth getting on sale.

I was wondering the same today, I ended up breaking and getting dine out, finally...lol thank you for your feedback.

Erwin says everyone should buy it.
