I am going to add some pros and cons to every stuff pack instead of rating them. I think all these packs offer something unique and as others have said, it is just a matter of preferences.
•Toddler
- Pro: new clothes and activities for toddlers. If you like playing with toddlers or if you are missing some content for toddlers than this is the pack for you.
- Con: the ball pit texture doesn't look very good, although it is much better since the September 12th update.
•Fitness
- Pro: a climbing wall that fits nicely into a gym. If you like active activities for your Sims, than this pack is ideal.
- Con: it is basically only a climbing wall that is new in this pack, unless you count the fitness via television and the ear buds as extra special.
•Bowling Night
- Pro: change any bar, lounge or nightclub into a bowling alley, a new venue that is actually really nice, so if you like bowling and bowling activities, than this is defenitely something to consider.
- Con: to me it is difficult to find a con to this pack, because I really liked the bowling activity, but if bowling is not for you, than this might not be something you would want to buy, because all the clothes and furniture really fit into the bowling theme.
•Vintage Glamour
- Pro: adds a vanity table and a butler NPC. I really like that children can try make-up on the vanity table.
- Con: I haven't used the butler myself yet, but i have read about a lot of bugs with it on this forum, so you might want to consider that first.
•Backyard
- Pro: the water slide and the lemonade tray are really nice items to have. The slide fits well into any pool lot and lemonade is just a nice drink for the kids, but also for the adults of course.
- Con: the water slide is very big, so it does not really fit into an appartment.
•Kids Room
- Pro: I really liked this pack, because it adds a lot of child activities and I am a fan of the Void Critters. Fits perfectly with Parenthood.
- Con: only child activities, so if you aren't playing with children, this pack probably isn't worth it.
•Romantic Garden
- Pro: lots of nice garden plants. I really liked the variety of the plants and the art style. Great if you are a builder that likes to make mansions with big gardens.
- Con: garden stuff only. You might not want to consider this if you like playing in an appartment, because you barely have a garden there. It would be different though if you wanted to build a penthouse with a nice garden.
•Movie Hangout
- Pro: the popcorn maker is a really nice addition. I use it in my cinema, so Sims can enjoy some nice popcorn during their date.
- Con: movie hangout really is just a missed opportunity to add cinemas as venues to the game. You basically get a nice big television and some new movies for your Sims to watch, but you can't really build a functioning cinema.
•Spooky
- Pro: given the time of year, this might be a very nice addition to the game. During Halloween I like to dress my Sims up in some costumes and organize a spooky party.
- Con: if Halloween is not your thing, or if you don't celebrate it in your country, it might not be that special.
•Cool Kitchen
- Pro: the ice machine is great. If you have Dine Out, you can even make your own ice cream parlor.
- Con: only kitchen stuff and besides some ice cream to eat, no new activities.
•Perfect Patio
- Pro: the hot tub is nice to use in the garden or in a pool. It fits with Spa Day.
- Con: it's basically just the hot tub. Unless you like the other furniture, like me.
