I'd start with Get Famous or Island Living. All of those are fairly good feature wise, I just don't know about Real of Magic cause I don't own it. Maybe Get Famous has the most gameplay stuff for you.

Ok ty i already own City Living and i feel like it would go well with eachother and Island Living not as good but one of my friends has Island Living and she really enjoys it.

I like Island Living more for the chance to play around on a beach than anything else. Most lots I just evict the townies and transform into Vacation spots. Sad that fishing is a bit broken in there, but still a cool map. There are events there all the time, but unless you get a mod for it, you don't get notifications about those, like happens in City Living.

Out of those 4 I have played with 3, all but realm of magic. And I would say Get Famous has the best content. It unlocks more for your sims than the other 2. Doing certain things raises fame, and fame unlocks perks for your Sim depending on how high your fame is and how you acquired it.

Ok i think i'm gonna go with Get Famous next then but if someone has other opinions pls tell me.

I like Island Living slightly more than Get Famous overall, but that is of course assuming you are willing to tolerate beach pollution at Sulani. I own Realm of Magic and it was one of my later gamepacks but its gameplay is limited to only just spellcasters contrary to Island Living which seems to be more versatile and adds a lot more than Realm of Magic; although, it is worth mentioning that Realm of Magic works good with Paranormal (witch and spooky themed), Spooky (has an outfit for fairies and this pack is also good if you want more content that is based on Halloween), Crystal Creations (versatile when it comes to occults), and Life and Death (witch, ghost, other occults, death, and Halloween themed) dlc packs. Journey to Batuu also works good with Realm of Magic in addition to the others I mentioned because you cannot use the force on The SIms 4 from this pack where you can just simply pretend that using magic from this gamepack with spellcasters is the force. This is of course despite the fact that Journey to Batuu is arguably one of the worst gamepacks on The SIms 4 and the fact that I have more of a tendency to giving dlc positive reviews instead of negative where I give Journey to Batuu only a 5 out of 10 rating which is actually quite low for me.

Also, Journey to Batuu works good with Get to Work because it includes real aliens where you could make the real aliens wear Journey to Batuu alien skins, but I am aware that you did not mention this gamepack meaning that gamepack does not count. Spa Da is the only gamepack to get a refresh but overall it still feels like "meh" even with a refresh. It is not bad overall and definitely better than Journey to Batuu, but not one of my favorite packs either.

Have to agree with 99% of that, but....but.....Batuu has lightsabers. Lightsabers! How else would you settle marital issues?
And on a sidenote, when did they enable magic on Batuu? Always thought it didn't work there?

I have never sent spellcasters to the vacation world of Batuu, but outside of Batuu you can mix in spellcasters with this gamepack and pretend they are jedi/sith when they are not visiting the vacation world. Lightsabers are only really useful if using the extreme violence mod for using the lightsaber to kill sims, but lightsabers have no relation to Realm of Magic contrary to spellcasters using magic and pretending they are using the force. For people who only play on console or people who play on PC but have never used the extreme violence mod then lightsabers are overall boring. However, even if I were to use the extreme violence mod I may not necessarily want to use it all of the time.

Realm of Magic is kewl but vastly over powered. wait... maybe it's kewl because it's vastly over powered?
I like the idea of crystal creations, but it's the Bugpocalypse play wise.
Life and Death... yeah, kewl music. Sometimes I just like to stop and listen to the music. Play wise? bah humbug!!
Now, Batuu.... HAHAHAHAHAHHAH!! eeeah... HAHAHHAHAHAH!! What a pile of worthless garbage. Okay, not worthless. It's clothes for Sixam alien sims rather than the silly barefoot cat suits.

When it comes to actual gameplay I find myself addicted actually to Life and Death instead of thinking it is bah humbug. It is also rated higher on Steam right now at 88% positive than even Get Together at 77% positive. Life and Death was not one of the packs mentioned here and it is new meaning that it will take a while before it goes on sale, but it works well with spellcasters, ghosts, and other occult sims. I would not recommend Realm of Magic over Island Living or Get Famous, but I could understand why it is one of the more popular gamepacks on Steam right now which despite its mixed reviews at 65% positive that is still an overall decent rating for dlc.

if you're not a builder you should go: 1. get famous, 2. Realm Of Magic 3. Island living (forget SPA: especially if you are not a builder). as a builder, I go: 1. Island living, 2. get famous 3. SPA. I like Realm of magic but never use it to build anything.
