Worst Game Pack: 'Outdoor Retreat'
Worst Expansion Pack: 'City Living'
'Outdoor Retreat' comes off as their "experiment" for game packs (since it was the first one). While I like some of the content it comes with, the overall pack wasn't worth the $20 I paid for. The trailer itself was misleading into making us think there were way more lots in 'Granite Falls' than there actually are as well. Also, the entire camping concept (while interesting) seems incomplete. They had an opportunity to add things like lodges, but completely missed it! Also, their excuse that "bears are too hard" was cringe worthy (which was their reasoning for why we got a bear costume instead).
'City Living' goes along the same lines... it feels unfinished. There were many opportunities that were missed... one of them being giving us the ability to create/build our own apartments! Also, their refusal to give us the elevator for use on other lots was disappointing as well. It would be VERY convenient to use elevators on certain community lots (like in real life). I was originally excited for the music keyboard to be returning... only to find out the only sounds it makes are tones that sound like science fiction soundtracks... keyboards are supposed to have all different kinds of tones... not stuck on these! The festivals are also disappointing... and get boring VERY quickly! Especially when your Sim is already rich and successful... there's nothing at these festivals that you can't do in your own home (when you have the money).
Also, as a bonus... the worst stuff pack (so far) is 'My First Pet'... and it doesn't really need explanation because the name explains itself.
