What are some cross-pack features you know?

• Mersims (IL) build Singing skill (CiL) faster than other life states.
  
• Baked bread recipes (GTW), including level 1 Breadsticks, count as the Bread ingredient with Simple Living lot challenge (CoL) enabled.
  

• StrangerVille: Servos will never get possessed. Perfect replacements for hazmat suits!
  
• Servos with Techie lifestyle become inspired because they're a servo, the pinnacle of technology.
  
• Adrenaline Seekers get a special moodlet in haunted houses.
  
• Pets react to weather and are afraid of lightning.
  
• Animal Enthusiast trait comes from Cottage Living, but also has effects on cats, dogs, and rodents.
  
• Squeamish sims get nauseous over jungle critters (spiders, bees, bats, fireflies, and lightning bugs).
  
• You can buy Voidcritter cards from Bits'n Bobbles vending machine.
  
• Vampires aren't affected by temperatures. They won't get hot or cold. Thus they will never change into hot weather and cold weather clothing.
  
• Cats will be sniffing mermaids a lot...
  
• The biggest known cross pack feature is that club activities include activities from other packs, but did you know that there are two replacement clubs (which are created when number of clubs fall below 10) that require packs: bear club (Outdoor Retreat) and alien club (Get to Work).
  
• How weather affects green utility source generation (wind turbines generate more on windy weather, solar panels generate less on cloudy weather, and dew collectors generate more in rain).
  
• Acid rains that happen in industrial neighborhoods.
  
• Servos struck by lightning will get them recharged.

• Clothing will dry slower on clothesline when it's raining.
  
• Cats can play with droplets that fall from clothes while they're drying on clothesline.
  
• Another biggest cross pack feature is how your sim can get famous. This even includes other pack careers which can give fame chance cards.
  
• Then there are holidays and tradition. While there's only one tradition that requires a pack (that being fireworks from City Living), activities that complete traditions (Spooky Spirit tradition can be fulfilled by carving pumpkins) and which sims love or ignore which traditions (vampires love Spooky Spirit) is also there. Though I feel like it needs updating as Servos won't ignore grand meals...
  
• Some pack activities build character values, like filling a pet food bowl (raises responsibility) or giving gifts (raises empathy).
  
• Charismatic Crooner reward trait from Salaryperson career helps to build singing skill faster.
  
• We also have some sims who will have certain other pack skills when the required pack is installed. Then we have Bonehilda. She has Pristine reputation and 4 levels in Baking skill. In addition, she's Chopstick Savvy.
  
• Some packs add more items to buy from food stand. Let's take food stands in Tartosa for example, which will have more foods when City Living is installed.
  
• Cloudy weather is the best for vampires as it won't make the sun harm them.
  
• In Dine Out, restaurants can include food from other packs.
  
• Plopsy also allows your sims to sell and buy candles, flower arrangements, potions etc.

I'm trying to leave out cross pack gameplay from Cats and Dogs and My First Pet Stuff out as the stuff pack is DLC for DLC, thus it has a lot of cross pack gameplay for Cats and Dogs. For example, sims can learn the cure for Rabid Rodent Fever from a vet.

Inquiring minds want to know. ?

• Sims with Rabid Rodent Fever can learn about the cure from a vet.
  
• Rodent treats can be bought from vet clinic's vending machines.
  
• Cats can get on the rodent cage, and sometimes they'll watch the rodent.
  
• Dogs can sometimes watch rodents.
  
• New pet clothing and pet objects.

• Exo-Mech suit helps sims to not get cold or hot (at least that's what I've noticed).
  
• University degrees boosts many careers from other packs.
  
• Yarnbombing a university statue builds knitting skills.
  
• University skill classes offer every skill. In addition, many other pack skills are taught in optional elective classes.
  
• Having a vampire bite a sim will not only reduce their reputation, but it also makes sims text the vampire telling they're shocked that they have bitten a sim (Get Famous).
  
• Neighborhood action plans may also boost other DLC careers (Tech Support helps with scientist career for example).
  
• With Green Gardening N.A.P, sims can brag about owning a bee box and gain influence through using it.
  
• At certain points in StrangerVille story, the weather forecast is "Strange Weather".
