Worst Game Pack

For me it is dine out, it just doesn't function properly so I feel buyers remorse.

Now I cannot ignore my Sims’ kids and let them grow up on their own, great...

There is almost nothing to do. I find it completely boring and empty to be honest. We can literally only play horseshoe?

There isn't much to do. In comparison to Jungle Adventures where you gain skill points by talking to villagers and you have to do puzzles, OR is kinda boring. I like it a bit, but I was kinda dissapointed when I first played it.

Parenthood was the only GP that I haven't bought on the release day and waited for a sale. There is not much gameplay to me.

Outdoor Retreat. Is it bad that I keep forgetting it exists?

You play the storyline once & then you’re done with it. Build mode items are forgettable. The only thing decent about this pack are the CAS items.

It's so boring.

Outdoor Retreat. It's supposed to be a vacation pack to get your sims out of their normal daily routine, but once you go camping there's really not much to do. We got... tents, horseshoes, cloud gazing, and stuff around the campfire, but not much else.

I guess fishing is nice if your sim wasn't an outdoorsman to begin with. There's also herbalism, but running around collecting plants, bugs, and fish doesn't bring a whole lot to the table. If there was a pack that needed new content, it'd be this one.

Maybe bring back Bigfoot, ax throwing, archery, or have more direct interactions between the Scouting system in Seasons and this pack.

It's almost a tie between Outdoor Retreat and Strangerville for me.

What I dislike most about Outdoor Retreat is sims you invite to go with your sims will leave.
I want to invite a group of various sims and spend this time working on relationships for a couple of days.
I hate when they just leave. I believe I had invited 4 sims. Only one stayed overnight

Well, after she tried to sleep out by the rest room.

I had to have one of my sims go get her.

She went to bed, but left first thing in the morning.

Strangerville, I really can't get into the linear game play.
I didn't even finish. I got tired of doing checklists. You have to get this key, and get this filter, and this suit... no thought process, no finding creative work-arounds, just follow the instructions. :p

If they are going to do packs of this type, the game play should be different depending on the personality and skills of your sim.
That would help with replay value. Jungle adventures had a little of that. Those little rabbit hole journeys through the gates were made easy or difficult depending on your sim and items they had acquired for the trip.

I had a great set up for it too. Aliens in disguise, Mulder and Scully, a fun government installation, and a couple of minor characters.
Maybe I will finish it someday.
