Which Game Pack Should I Get?

There are already some very good insights here, so I'm just going to post my personal view.
Parenthood is the way to go if you like to play with families. I would say it is a "must have" in that case.
Outdoor Retreat is great if you like to play rags to riches. The furniture (beds, coolers and shower) are great for that. Also it comes with some of my favourite hair styles in game and some of the shoes are great for Seasons.
Jungle Adventure is a good pack if you like a new way for your Sims to make money without being employed. I also like to curse Sims that are annoying with the relics (the Zazatotl relic is awesome for that).

I don't think I would get it without having Outdoor Retreat though, I like to use the tents, beds, portable shower etc in the jungle.

I personally like parenthood and think it's one of their well done game packs. It comes with a lot of new features and it's really helpful if you like family play/legacy but if you don't really play with children then I don't really recommend.

LOVE Parenthood. Total game changer for me. It has all this nice CAS and BB to boot. Of course, you'd get more mileage out of it if you play with families, but it also comes with a lot of nice stuff.

If you like real-life type gameplay, Parenthood is excellent. Great for the families. It's kind of a must-have, honestly.

though not gonna lie, i like vampires a lot. don't worry about the break-ins, NPC vamps cannot turn you, you won't end up with an accidental vampire in the household. they just want a snack. and the gothic build-buy stuff is excellent, so if you don't mind having them roam around your world, it's a great pack...but yeah, don't get it if you hate them lmao

I would go for Parenthood (which I have). Jungle Adventure and Outdoor Retreat (I still need to get this one myself) would be next but only because those contain vacation worlds, not worlds your Sims can live in.

To be honest My favorite one is vampires so you have a reason to gain strength without having to use luck in jungle adventure. oh and unless if you start from the beginning stage parenthood is kinda boring and outdoor adventure is fun for the first few adventure but It gets boring quickly

I do love Vampires myself and some players who usually prefer realistic gameplay have ended up liking them, BUT the vampires will break into your house and drink from your sims, so it's not a good choice if you think that will bother you.

It can give you a reason for a rivalry (mainly vlad goes for you and takes a deep drink)
