What are some underrated features of your favorite packs?

Recently found out the Lin-z speaker will give you free services(food, repair and maid), when your needs are low/stuff is broken or dirty, when you befriend it. I saw someone say somewhere that toddlers can learn from it too, though I haven't tried that feature. In spa day there's a shower that is embarrassment free when someone walks in on you. For kid's character values I use the doctor play set for raising mental skill and Empathy at same time. Also if you can get the social interactions for kids with the little skill icons next to them, I spam those and it boosts the skill a ton along with the social skill.

The tents from Outdoor Retreat. They are so versatile from being something to use at home for campouts, homeless Sims or just vagabond Sims not living in homes but living off the land. Jungle Adventure too. You can read a guide, relax, nap, sleep or woohoo in them. I think you can also hangout in them also if you have a group of friends or family.

I'm not sure if Seasons affect them though. And lastly they haven't been cloned or reused in any way so they are a fairly unique object in that respect also :)

Yes! Tents are awesome, I often send my sims camping somewhere, not necessarily Granite Falls. Usually it's Windenburg Island or Deadgrass Island. Campfires come in useful too — sims can fry fish on them and it comes out of excellent quality (if it wasn't spoiled). With a portable shower sims can live on a beach for a while. I wish we had portable toilets too ?

Wow, I have never used the Lin-z speaker! I remember it was a game breaker and I was too afraid to touch it ?

Here is another one from outdoor retreat. The portable objects! Specifically though : The mini cooler which can help feed Sims inbetween BBQ meals. The campsite guitar with the little I love camping sticker on it. The firepit for solo time and social time. An air mattress which is a bed that goes into the inventory! And last but not least one of my most used friendly socials: cloud gazing and stargazing. A great way to keep Sims from wandering off and doing things and get them socializing ?

I had a whole drama the other day where a vampire sim walked past my house in broad daylight and burned to death in my “driveway”. Grim came over to do his thing while a crowd of about 10 sims gathered to mourn the crispy vamp. One of my sims pled for her life and won. The ungrateful vamp disappeared, but the crowd continued their mourning regardless. Grim grew tired of the shenanigans and took himself to the backyard, where he played on the slip and slide for about 4 hours. He was pretty damn good at it too.

So my answer is: the slip and slide.

If you have get together, seasons, and outdoor retreat. You can make your kids join the scouts and go to summer camp. I built a summer camp lot in my save and made a scouts club with one teenager as the camp counselor. I set the club uniform as the scout uniform and had them gather at the camp. I can't remember how I did it though but I did set the camp as a national park so there was random people coming and going because generic wouldn't work. But I would have to try it again to see if I could assign different club members different beds and such.

Gosh, so many features I always forget about, or didn't even know about... vampire hunting? Bees pollinating? I never knew lol.

One of my oft used features is the yoga mat. I love that it gets sims calm and focused and keeps them slim at the same time.

It is especially useful to use whilst at university. All that junk food making sims fat, and all that studying and homework to do. Get on that mat and get your brain in gear and your body in shape!

There are so many features and little hidden treasures found in all the packs. I love discovering them and sharing them and learning more from you guys ?

The Vet Career. A lot of people keep saying that Cats and Dogs only comes woth literally Cats and Dogs and how previous pet packs has more content, forgetting how deep the Vet Career is.

With Realm of Magic, you can set fire to the spot right to a sleeping sim's side of the bed. It will wake up the sleeping sim, then they step into the fire and burn to death.

You can also commit insurance fraud by torching several items. The insurance company pays you some money, and you can just use Repairio to fix the items.

This is amazing! Hahaha I am so doing this :lol:
