I want to get seasons. I however don't really want to pay $40 for it as I don't have a ton of money lying around. But the build a bundle might just work for me. I don't have seasons or the vampire GP. I also have 2 stuff packs I do not own. Would a bundle with Seasons, Vampires and Backyard/Luxury Party be worth it? I'm not usually a supernatural type of player, but I would like the world and the build objects. If anything I view it as a $20 stuff pack.

I'm of the minority who actually likes Luxury Party. A lot. So that is better than Backyard IMO.

If you don't want vampires in all of your saves, then you shouldn't get the vampires game pack. You can't completely avoid them because they will show up at your sim's house at night and sometimes break in.

Luxury party only really has some nice CAS items. I'm unimpressed with the build mode stuff, so I'd stick to backyard which fits seasons better, has a ton of cute build items, and great CAS additions.

Backyard Stuff will add stuff for your sims to do in summer with the waterslides. The CAS and build are really nice. Spooky Stuff too can be nice if you plan to do Halloween because otherwise you won't have anything (just a few decorations).

Although I selected Luxury Party because I'm really looking forward to planning an extravagant New Years party I'd have to say both bundles are worth it as they both have features that complement the Seasons expansion pack. Backyard stuff adds to summer fun times, and Luxury Party has some neat stuff for holiday parties and celebrations.

Backyard stuff is a great add on for seasons. As for vampires, the pack has some great build items and vampires are quite fun to play - give it a try ;) I don't know how the vampires combine with seasons, but I can imagine it being interesting.

I think backyard would really fit into the theme

You might be able to mod the vamps out to some degree. I like Luxury Party but I think Backyard will mesh a lot better with Seasons.

You can hang garlic outside to keep them away. They did amazingly with this vampires pack. You're just just a vampire, you level up. Start as a baby vampire pretty much and work your way up to like.. elite vampire. It's awesome.
I'd get backyard stuff with it just cause seasons. can't imagine a summer party without it now.

I'm glad to see most people think the bundle will be worth it. I might wait until the summer sale (if there is one) and see if I can get the packs cheaper there. But otherwise, I do think it's a good deal, and I think I'll give the vampires a try as well.
