What are some underrated features of your favorite packs?

I learned from other simmers on this forum that ear buds from fitness stuff are a GREAT way to keep fun up while your sim is doing other things! Should have been using them all this time! :D

Yes! Exactly and it's also a pretty good representation of the multi tasking that the Sims 4 touted as an improved feature for this generation of Sims games.

Some underrated feature I think get overlooked is in the Movie Hangout pack.

A lot would think oh just sims being able to watch some movies and the like, but it surprisingly has a bit more depth to it. Since, it makes me feel sims have likes and dislikes of things based on their traits. Which will contribute to if they liked the movie or not. You can even declare to another sim (much like a preference of weather) what your favorite genre of movie is. So they can have preferences for genres of movies (and will even autonomously look at their favorite genre).

Like for example if you have a sim with the Hates Children trait they're not going to like looking at kid and family oriented movies. From being angry to just being bored of it.

Romantic sims? They'll enjoy romance movies.

Yes Movie Hangout Stuff has lots of neat things like that! It adds a little depth to Sims and it's much appreciated. I like that can choose to watch movies with groups of people. The selection of movies is pretty good too.

Seconding the earbuds. They are especially useful in university I've found. Listen to them whilst studying and on the way to/from class on the long journey. You can cram in lots of studying and do basically nothing fun aside from listening to them if you want to, it's great. I'm wondering if you could get away with doing the same in GTW careers. Making non-fun things fun by using them.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I brought a whole lot of packs at once so I don't always know what world or feature came with what pack. But I believe get together added the various "go here together" and forming groups options. A lot of people talk about clubs but this is rarely mentioned. It's a feature I use every sim day.
I form a group with the chosen sims and can easily have them do things together. <3

Not sure if this is underrated, but the ice cream from cool kitchen stuff is awesome! I love the weight loss and weight gain ice creams. So handy! :D

I believe it originally came with GT and was added in a base game update shortly after . It's awesome it helps make interactions work better together that might not normally like watching tv or going dancing etc.

I have never used the ice cream yet. I really should get around to doing that hahaha same with popcorn

I really like the portable furniture that came with outdoor retreat, very useful in the jungle or in sylvan glade, especially in combination with laptops that can only be used on tables. And I also like the cooler boxes from outdoor retreat and toddler stuff to have access to snacks in those remote locations.

I don't have fitness stuff but this sounds very interesting. If I should ever get that pack it will be for the earbuds and not the for the climbing wall. For now I am happy that my sims can bring along the portable kaboom radio to listen to while they are painting outside. Although I have a feeling they paint slower while multitasking to listen to the radio.
