Which packs do you regret buying or wish you waited to buy?

Realm of Magic, I bought it on sale a few months ago but I still regret it. I’m not an occult player, I’m not exactly pleased with anything about it, trying to think in the back of my head of any BB item or CAS i find memorable and I can’t think of anything from it. The only good thing it serves me for is a reminder I won’t like occult’s, so when I see Vampires on sale and am tempted to get it, I remember about RoM. I already know I don’t like occult’s but I thought maybe RoM would change that.

I don't regret buying it, but i only bought Tiny Living cause it was on a sale for 4,99 and it was the only pack i didn't own at that moment. I don't regret cause it was rather cheap but i don't use anything from it.

No regrets.... just would have been nice to have more “family fun” activities in Outdoor Retreat.

My First Pet Stuff. Ended up returning it and getting my money back right after I bought it.

Get Famous because not too soon after I bought it it went on sale.

@SelinaKyles If only I hadn’t bought ROM and Vampires at the same time... :/

City Living. I can ignore that too much time was spent on the background of the world. I can ignore that the endlessly looping festivals are just base game stuff and nothing new. I can ignore the highly annoying Japanese name generation taking over since installing it. Whatever.

I can’t ignore the apartments. Those are such an obvious fail that whoever approved those being not only included, but listed as a key feature should be fired if they haven’t left the studio already. Any effort that went into those was just to disguise what they are - separate regular lots tucked into a decorative shell. 1 or 2 units total got some unique gameplay, but rodents/dirtiness aren’t exclusive to high rise city buildings so why does that feature remain exclusive to 2 units? Really? I could use that in some residential homes.. Why does every unit within a single building have a completely different layout? Why aren’t there any entrance/lobby areas? No where will a mail person have access to your entire building; in a city apartment your mailbox will be on the ground floor by the front entrance, not right outside your unit in the hallway on the 7th floor. Why are there no amenities? What kind of apartment complex has 8 floors but not a single laundry area? They had the nerve to make that a separate pack and they still can’t be mixed in a way that makes sense. Let me throw a washer and dryer in my low-rent studio apartment? Lol ok

Why can’t they be built from scratch? They knew thats what people liked about them in Sims 2, and they knew the facade shells were what people didn’t like from Sims 3. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Why are they locked into one world? Is it too much freedom to let players make their own? Like none of the things in this last paragraph make sense even given context from the studio on what they wanted: aesthetic, vibes, over the top uniqueness (that boils down to a few VFX and annoying neighbors everyday.. wow).

I don’t buy EA stuff anymore (not just Sims) but Maxis was what started that by releasing such substandard content. I won’t pretend such low effort stuff is the best they can do, and it’s insulting when they pretend functionally inferior content is what’s best when in reality it’s just what was easier for them to make.

C&D: i found the cats in this one to be very boring and unintersting, so far they are my least favorite in the franchise.
DU: to be fair, i havent played around with this one but i also knew from the start that i am not a fan of this iteration's version of uni so i was aware of how i would feel about it unlike C&D.

Eco lifestyle. It’s the one of 2 packs in all my sims game I wish I’d never bought the other is a sims 3 pack. It has hardly any gameplay and that it does have I don’t like or don’t use. The world I haven’t even played in yet and apart from some of the kids/toddler clothes I don’t use the cas. Then there are all the bugs from the naps, the naps themselves and the useless eco lifestate thing that does nothing in the game apart from shine a rainbow (green), do nothing (normal) or makes sims cough (industrial). The only thing i use from the pack is the bb stuff. Personally I think it’s worth the price tag of a gamepack on sale or a gamepack if I’m feeling generous towards it. It’s a shame as it was a good concept just very poorly executed.

Island Living, Get Together, StrangerVille, Realm of Magic, Moschino, My First Pet stuff and Vampires. I got all of them 25-50% off but feel that wasn't enough at times. I have yet to play with mermaids because I just didn't enjoy the game play on the island. I don't care for a lot of the features that came with Get Together, StrangerVille was one and done. I only played with spell casters and vampires once and I feel the need to kill off Vlad and his extended family every time they come to my door although I have set it to where vampires are not welcome, yet they continue to appear. Moschino has the most useless outfits and build mode items and I only got it for the photography career. I got My First Pet stuff for the hamsters and bed items... They weren't even worth the $5 I spent. Moschino and My First Pet stuff are my biggest regrets TBH. This only includes game play for the most part. I have enjoyed many of the hairstyles, build mode items, and clothes that have come from these packs, but I am not a creator, I'm a story teller so it just sucks that for what my game play is they don't really add much.
