I'm stuck at home right now, and I am looking for something to do. I thought I would get a new pack, but I am unsure which one to pick. I saw other threads related to this, but they focus on a different selection.I wanted to get a stuff pack, and I already have Laundry day, toddler stuff, vintage glamour, kids room, and cool kitchen. I prefer family play, but I also play pretty short term and I am constantly creating new saves. Right now I am leaning towards My First Pet. I know it gets a bad rap, but I like all the kids items that come with it. I am also really into CAS, and thinking about getting romantic garden just for the hairs. The only other thing is I don't have Realm of Magic or Jungle Adventure and I feel pressured to get them while they are on sale. Any advice on what to do?

If you really want something that will keep you busy a stuff pack is not it, ESPECIALLY My First Pet.. avoid that at all costs. You'll need to get a GP or an EP if you're really looking to expand your gameplay. I'd say go with Jungle Adventure since it is on sale rn, and in my opinion, it's a pretty fun pack. I dislike Realm of Magic as I prefer my game to be more realistic, but you may be the complete opposite.

Stuff packs won't keep you busy for very long, they normally include a gameplay item but there isn't much to do in terms of gameplay after you played around with that a few times. I don't have Realm of Magic so I can only really recommend Jungle Adventure. It has a lot more to do, especially if you're into getting collectibles. If you're not into the treasure hunting or archeology aspect, you can still take your family on a nice vacation and discover Selvadorada traditions.

I'm with everyone else above. With the sale you'll get much more with a gp at almost the same price. And Jungle Adventures is a lot of fun. But i don't have RoM so i can't compare. About the stuff packs you're inclined to, and if you after all decide to go with a sp, i would go with romantic garden. The wishing well is better than the pets in MFPS imo.

I think Jungle Adventure could keep you entertained for a while. There's enough exploring to do and it's actually risky, tons of bad things can happen to your sims in the jungle if they don't have the proper skills. BUT there's no family play, really.What about backyard stuff?

What's the best pack to keep busy during quarantine?

Jungle Adventure, is pretty funny, and has some nice build items too that is different from many other things... I love the CAS in realm of Magic tough, like i just like it... so cute and pretty and different...

For me Jungle Adventures, lots to do in there and when you get home. Nice bb & CAS items, too. I use them all the time.

I would stick to the outdoor and relaxing packs like Spa Day just has the best chill music, Jungle Adventures and Seasons and Discover University I think would keep you busy awhile too because they do offer a lot of fun gameplay. Island Living offers outdoor gameplay for all ages and is just a stunning pack. Realm of Magic is amazing too and I love Island Living. For Stuff pack, I would recommend even Tiny Living because it is really fun to build with and its lot traits are nice for doing challenges.

I have both Realm of Magic and Jungle Adventure and I love them both. But it really depends on your play style. I love occults so Realm of Magic and having spellcasters fits in nicely with my vampire gameplay. But I do recall my time with Jungle Adventure and having a blast with it too. I didn't see it as very family oriented but it could be. I liked to explore with 1 or 2 Sims and try to find all the relics. I actually use this pack quite a bit.....so maybe if you're leaning towards a GP.... I'd go with Jungle Adventure.

For Stuff Pack, if you're into camping & outdoor activities, maybe Outdoor Retreat.

I agree with what has already been said, if you want it to keep you busy, a GP might be better than a stuff pack. My personal favourite is realm of magic because I love magic and spellcasters. I also like the world that comes with the pack. But jungle adventure is also a very good choice. The jungle looksaabsolutely stunning and I enjoy a little adventure for my sims.

If you still prefer stuff packs, I recommend tiny living. The challenge to build a small house has kept me busy for quite a while.
