Hi there! As a game pack, Outdoor Retreat is of course smaller than Get Famous, but I probably do get more use out of it. I'm a family / storytelling player and my main household have had lots of lovely holidays at Granite Falls. I love the cabins and tents, exploring the woods, playing horseshoes, stargazing, roasting marshmallows and telling stories around the campfire, the herbalism skill, how my homebody sim gets uncomfortable and starts swatting flies away etc. It's a pack that definitely needs more love.
With Get Famous, I've never really been into the fame theme, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The fame and reputation systems are very well done and I really like the quirks and perks, the acting career, and the CAS / build items. Sadly Del Sol Valley was a bit of let down for me though as it's a very small world and the builds aren't exactly pretty (but of course can be replaced or edited). It is a lot of fun, but for me personally being a celebrity isn't my favourite thing to do. I wouldn't say I've gotten bored with it yet as it's quite challenging gaining/keeping fame with lots of ways of doing so, but being famous doesn't suit many of my households. As every player is different though I recommend checking out the SimsVIP or Carl guides and reviews if you haven't already to see which appeals to you the most. It seems to me like you're edging towards Outdoor Retreat and I say go with your gut.
