Buy dine out first. Restaurants are great for dates, family outings and friend hangouts. It adds some family gameplay (can draw on placemats), and kids can go to restaurants alone if they want to. It also adds new experimental food, the ability to run restaurants, and some great CAS stuff for kids and adults, a new aquarium, and some M.E. great plants and table lights (candles)
For stuff packs I would do them inthis order
Backyard stuff: some fun gameplay and excellent CAS items for kids and adults.Has a round table with an umbrella that sits 6 sims, and sim fun decor.
Romantic garden: great plants and statues where ch beautify gardens. Some nice CAS clothes for kids, adult clothes are mixed with some nice ones but also ugly floral print suits for males.
Vintage glamour stuff: on par with romantic garden stuff but more useful for house interiors. Some great vintage CAS clothes and hairs for adults and kids. But Tyler is also fun.
Perfect patio: hot tub wohoo is awesome. Other than hot tub there isn’t much.
Bowling Night: some CAS stuff is particularly nice (especially female adults). Bowling is a fun distracting n.
Cool Kitchen: some great jackets and CAS cloth s. Also fun hair. All stuff is for adults. Lacks build and buy mode content. Ice cream maker can be fun, and you can put ice real on restaurant menus
Luxury Party : not worth it. Some CAS stuff and little build/buy
Fitness: don’t have it yet but like luxury party night t wroth it. No content for kids and gameplay is limited
