What pack(s) should I score today?
I'm planning on buying an additional pack today, and I can't decide which to score this round. Here's what I currently own... Expansions Discover University Island Living Seasons Cats & Dogs ...

Out of the ones listed, Realm of Magic. Very easy choice imo. Adds the most interesting gameplay, if you're into that sort of thing.
I recommend against Strangerville and Outdoor retreat. Once you've messed around with them for a couple hours, I find there's little to actually do with them. I found there's no good reason to want to do the Strangerville story more than once but maybe that's just me.
Out of the ones not listed; City Living is probably the easiest to recommend. It adds a lot of little cool things, and fits into pretty much any play style, and you can keep doing the stuff in it over and over again and it never really gets dull.
I think Get Famous and Vampires are better than City Living personally, but if you're not into the themes they offer, they're not much good.
Spa Day is one I'm mixed on. I recommend it in that it fits into regular gameplay and you can keep going back to it. I recommend against it in that it's a glorified stuff pack.
As for the stuff packs you mentioned...
I don't buy stuff packs and the ones I have I got because I got them as bundles, which are Laundry Day and Bowling Night. Laundry Day is good if you're into family gameplay mainly. I don't recommend against it, but I barely use it. I just got the stuff packs with the most actual gameplay as, as I said, I got them bundled. It was cheaper.
Whilst I haven't played it myself, hard recommend against My First Pets and Kids Room Stuff on the pure basis that they should've been part of Cats & Dogs and Parenthood respectively. Don't fund EAs money grabbing.
Can't talk about any of the others though.
