1. Get Together
2. Get to Work
3. City Living
4. Cats & Dogs
Get Together always seems to carry over form pack to pack with how the club system works, which is great honestly and I use the club system pretty often too. More places for my sim to go to, cafes with baristas, DJ'ing and a dance skill, walk in closets, sims being invited out to late night parties. This EP was really good and the CAS items were great with a balance of party type clothing to some rather casual Windenburg attire. I use a lot of clothing from CAS.
Cats & Dogs? Besides no minor pets like hamsters, birds, and snakes I feel a lot more could have been done with it. Animals are cute no doubt there, but it doesn't go too far past that. Wish you could do more with the training skill, especially like entering your pets into contests. I do like the option to be a veterinarian though I do wish there was also an alternate rabbit hole job for your sim to be able to do than having to buy a lot much like Get to Work in the retail part. Children can't walk dogs. :'( Like WHY not? Pet's EP for any Sims game always never had my complete interest. This one did and it unfortunately fell short. The CAS items were nice in this EP along with the hair but other than that and the cute factor of animals with the added world I'm just not livin' for this pack unfortunately.
Game Packs
1.Dine Out
2.Vampires
3.Parenthood
4. Spa Day
4.Outdoor Retreat
Just being able to customize restaurants to your liking and not even need to own it is great. A set dress code to whatever you want served at that restaurant. I found it to be a major improvement over restaurant features in the past. A good place to have family dinners, hang out with friends or a dinner date. Like that sims can invite you out on a date to a restaurant as well (they ain't payin tho. :# ).
Outdoor Retreat? I liked all the CAS items to what items came in the pack, but there isn't terrible too much to Granite Falls. It's a very pretty place, but what you can do in Granite falls you can also do elsewhere with items in the game. Sleeping in a tent, using bonfires and fishing. A change of scenery is always nice, but besides sims swatting away at bugs, creepily dressed sims in bear costumes looking at you with a dead stare in their eyes there isn't too much else. So, my sims rarely go to granite falls at all. Wish they could go and get lost exploring the woods, bears attacking them rather than they just getting pretty tense around the 'bears', getting poison ivy, etc. Also, there were oddly no sleeping bags. Weird that there wasn't.

Just love the over all summer vibe for this pack and CAS items as well. I use them and the hairs pretty often from this along with the table that can have six chairs. I tend to use them as pools or restaurants outside. Then the tray of drinks you can mix lemonade or tea in is nice as well as the wind chimes.
Kids desperately needed items and this helped fullfilled that and actually have my child's room look less dull not to mention more stuff for them to do via the void critter item and the puppet theater. CAS had a nice variety of clothing for them too. Same goes for toddler stuff. I really love the toddler slide so much and need more playground related items for them and children.
Could not decide between Laundry or the Fitness Stuff Pack? Would have been Spooky pack since you only use that once a year much like the Holiday pack. But, even with decent CAS items and furniture I'm still not more than likely to have a washing machine on my sims lot. Stuck a clothes line and wash bucket on a sim that stayed at a trailer in oasis springs and they only ever do laundry once a week. All the decor and cas are nice. It's just a pretty moderate pack nothing special. So moderate it's pretty boring really.
Fitness Stuff? We already have so many versions of a punching bag, treadmill and what not since we got that in Spa Day. Why would I need more of the same thing just a different model? Same with more exercise related clothes and spandex we got from spa day. Exercise bike, chin ups, actual weight lifting and hiring a personal trainer. Stuff we don't have would have been great. Ear buds, climbing wall and a exercise channel just isn't enough incentive for me to grab this one still.
