Which Stuff Packs do you think are worth buying?

The Sims 4 (as of March 2016) has 6 Stuff Packs, each cost $10. There are some Stuff Packs that I and some Simmers question if they're worth buying?

Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, and possibly Romantic Garden are arguably the most useful Stuff Packs due to how useful their included objects are. The Hot Tub lets you get some buffs (e.g., Focused), the Ice Cream let's you get certain effects based on flavors, and the Wishing Well is probably worth it. However, there are probably 3 other Stuff Packs that are questioned if they're worth buying which are Luxury Party, Spooky and possibly Movie Hangout. The former two bias towards parties while the latter is focused on movies.

Barkyard and Kids Room depends on the Simmer: the former for the backyard and the latter for children. Players who have a backyard on their lots will find use of Backyard Stuff but players who don't have a backyard, especially when City Life's Apartments appear, might not find this Stuff Pack useful. Simmers who tend to play Households with children (especially Family players) will find Kids Room useful but those who only use Adults or Elders (especially with Aging off) probably won't find the Stuff Pack useful.

I haven't tried the Movie Hangout Stuff so I don't know much about it other than the Movies you can watch with the SP.

    Is it just me, or do the stuff packs in TS4 have lesser items than previous games SPs? I think the previous SPs have more items, because they have at least about 2-3 themes within the SP.

    Anyways, back to OP's question, I got the Backyard SP first, because of the fence. I was just frustrated/desperate at how we didn't have a picket fence.


    It's... kind of you. The Sims 3 Stuff Packs had more items, but we've heard all about how Maxis delighted in chairs and tables. And they were more expensive too. While there are still chairs and tables, we see more original items - the combo ball-pit and slide, the rock-wall, and the bowling alley are hasty examples.

    If you enjoy family play, I'd advise Kids Room and Toddler Stuff. If you're one for parties, Movie Hangout, Perfect Patio and Backyard Stuff are all great.

    Well I personally think that cool kitchen is the best one. I also really like Laundry Day, not because of the washing machines but because a lot of the other furniture is really adorable.
  • Laundry day pack includes cute cas items as well as the movie pack. Having a butler around is also great (especially when you are a vampire haha) that comes with vintage glamour stuff pack.
  • I always have outdoor space when I build so I really like perfect patio and backyard stuff. The toddler stuff and kid stuff weren’t really worth it for me.
  • I'd say all of them are worth except Luxury Party, Cool Kitchen and My First Pet, but it depends on what you're looking for. Imho Romantic Garden is only good for the CAS items and Fitness Stuff only for the Build Buy ones, so they might not be for you. About the other ones, I say catch em all, especially Movie Hangout, Laundry Day and Vintage Glamour.
