There’s a sale on at Origin and I don’t have these 2 packs. They both look really good and I can’t decide which one to get.Any recommendations would be much appreciated. :) Thanks in advance.

Unless you want an Aspiration that is basically an RPG and alien brainwashing plants... I'd go with JA you can get skeletons which are hilarious and get really rich and solve puzzles hunting Indiana Jones styled dohickies

I debated between the same two when I bought Strangerville this weekend. They both appear to have quest gameplay, just with slightly different themes. Strangerville's has a Stranger Things vibe, with a Strangetown-type neighborhood. I'm enjoying it so far. And the one time quest thing doesn't really bother me. World Adventures had that, and this is like a mini-version of it. (I wouldn't have paid full price for what it has, but I've bought all my Sims 4 content on sale.) What really sold me on it in the end was, can I live and build there? I like to build and move my Sims around a lot. And our neighborhoods all have such limited lot space/sizes, that I need more.

While I liked both, I can see why not everyone would like Strangerville and you do get more use out of Jungle Adventure. Once you solve the mystery, Strangerville just becomes another world unless you choose to do it all over again for another sim and I can see how that might get tiresome. It's still fun from time to time, as some nice cas items, the world you can live in and has the military, so it is not horrible; but I would recommend Jungle Adventure first as there is more to do overall.

Strangerville has some interesting content but I get a lot more use out of Jungle Adventure.

I've had - and am still having - more fun with Strangerville but both are relatively niche so it's hard to tell which one you'd prefer. Personally, I think the military career is miles better than being an archaeologist (especially since that isn't even a real career), I love the mystery more than I like the temples (which I find less interesting gameplay wise as well as for their story potential), I think the atmosphere in Strangerville is amazing, and I absolutely adore my military base there (which is entirely possible to make with this career). Plus, it's a livable world, not a vacation world. The jungle is beautiful, mind you, and I like taking the odd vacation there. There are things about it genuinely enjoy. My sims just really don't vacation all that much (that's why none of them ever skill up in herbalism either xD). So yes, if I could only have one, I'd keep Strangerville hands down.

Strangerville or Jungle Adventure?

Jungle Adventures if for any reason it's a great camping spot and that gorgeous waterfall is so relaxing plus it puts your sims in a flirty mood. I suggest you have Outdoor Retreat if your going to get Jungle Adventures so your sims can set up a tent and use the coolers.

Selvadorada is a good place to have a vacation in, even if you don't plan to explore the jungle. Besides, it gives some adventuring experience for all types of characters. It matches perfectly with Outdoor Retreat tents and firepits.
Strangerville has a very specific storyline. Though there are no requirements, I think your character must be sort of a scientist to match the storyline. I've begun to explore Strangerville mystery with my rogue character, but when it came to creating vaccines it just felt wrong to me.
I have both packs and I like them. However, I would prefer to buy JA before Strangerville.

Also The temple changes every vacation not day.

not true, the jungle changes every vacation in terms of what parts are sealed off, but the temple resets after 24h or so, I just had a sim there for a week and she's been to the temple 5 times, always a different setup and new treasure.

I love them both, so I can't choose between them.
For you, I'd look at the CAS and build mode assets and see which ones you would prefer.

I'm the stranger one and prefer StrangerVille. :P Although, I do wish it had more Strangetown aspects rather than Stranger Things. Being an islander and have explored jungles, the Jungle Adventure GP is overall disappointing. Especially the exploration we had in TS3 with World Adventures. Now, I am not expecting TS4 team to implement 3 different worlds into that GP. Rather, the depth in exploration within a single world, the traps, etc.

I like these messages from the infected townsfolk ) I was playing Strangerville storyline right now with old George Cahill. On his second day, he was visited by a welcoming wagon of three infected zombies with their hilarious smiles :D

Both packs are great and I can’t pick between them. If you want something different and quirky then maybe strangerville or if you prefer sending out sims on holiday and exploring stuff then jungle adventure. They are my favourite game packs along with outdoor retreat so I personally think both are great in their own way.

I had to pick Strangerville over Jungle Adventure.

I just love the town and had so much fun playing out the mystery of it. The eerie vibe in stage 2/3 is awesome. I laughed so much, and had so much fun with this pack! It was great for my end-timer sim too, and gave him tools to blog and video his crazy conspiracies.

I got bored very quickly with JA and still haven't completed it or found everything. The jungle is beautiful, but I found the archaeology tasks so tedious at the station and it felt like it takes too long to discover the find.

Learning the dance is okay, but there's really not much to do UNLESS you go there specifically for treasure hunting. Or dancing.
