As a long-time Sims player and builder, I like to have all the expansions and game packs, simply because every one adds a little more depth to the game play and building. For the most part, I’ve had fun with all of them, however once in a while I’ll think of some of the stuff packs I have and wonder if it was worth it.
“Worth it” can be subjective. The stuff packs are the least expensive content for the Sims 4, and they generally only have “stuff”, such as furniture or clothing. One or two will introduce some interactable objects and game play enhancements such as the Photography career that came with the Moschino packs. Depending on how you play your game though, there are some stuff packs you can definitely skip.
The video goes into it a little more, but check out the slideshow below to see which of the Sims 4 stuff packs are a must-have for me and those that I could live without as a builder.
Do I need these stuff packs? Yes or no?
Luxury Party – No ( I do like to use the buffet table often in my lounge builds) 
Perfect Patio – Yes (Maybe not enough outdoor furniture in the game, I like these ones. Also Hot Tubs. ) 
Cool Kitchen – Maybe (More counter options, necessary kitchen clutter and the ice cream maker makes this worth it) 
Spooky Stuff – No (It’s a theme I hardly use and you can celebrate Spooky Day just fine in Seasons) 
Movie Hangout – Yes (I love all the aesthetics) 
Romantic Garden – Yes (For big flowers and classic stone statues and garden furniture) 
Kids Room – No (Unless you enjoy creating spaces for your Sim kids) 
Backyard – No (Not my style, I don’t use the objects enough) 
Vintage Glamour – Yes (This is my style and I use all the objects, including the butler) 
Bowling Night – Yes (Love the style, and I like having a bowling alley in my game) 
Fitness – No (Some nice objects, wall climber is fun, but it doesn’t do much for my game) 
Toddler – Maybe ( Toddler gym is fun, I use the string lights frequently) 
Laundry Day – Yes (Community voted stuff pack, and the objects are actually my style)) 
My First Pet – No ( Blinds and aquarium table are nice, rodent pet can be fun, but overall meh) 
Moschino – Yes (I love all urban modern aesthetic and the windows are a must for industrial builds) 
Tiny Living – No ( It has an aesthetic I like, but overall I found it a bit too bland for me) 
Nifty Knitting – Yes (Second community voted stuff pack, I love the bohemian, DIY aesthetic and crafting things are fun) 
Paranormal – Yes (Because I love the eclectic classic aesthetic.)
