Any of the DLC worth getting?

I thought the base game was pretty feature-rich, but if there's something outstanding for a dollar or two I'm all ears.

Not really. Most of the DLC adds only one costume, one mission, and one building. Not worth it for the whole thing.

However, the Modern Times Expansion adds tons of new buildings, a new campaign and a timeline, which basically adds a bunch of events as the ingame years go by. For example from 1952-1954 there are no food imports but corn increases in price by 200%. So you have events to adapt too. With the game on sale now I REALLY recommend getting Modern Times.

The rest of them it's up to you. They are by no means necessary though.

I agree about Modern Times. It's Tropico 4.5. Some of the buildings are OP though.

As for the rest, it's not required but some of the statues and decorations are nice.

The Vigilante DLC is obligatory if you want the best gameplay, mostly because you can use the Forced Labor Camp to feed citizens with criminal and dissident workforce
Modern Times is very interesting, I recommend it
Propaganda is too very interesting, since you can now convert people to Lealist by just having some propaganda speakers, very useful and adds a touch of actual dictatorship, but its up to you
With the Apocalyse, you can have a bunker, said bunker, depending on the workmode, allows you to convert citizens to the faction you please, also is its good decoration, since it is supposed its in the middle of the cold war, when in any second the world could have blow up with thousands of nukes everywhere
The Junta is too a little useful, because you can have soldiers without need of generals thanks for the Bunker
Those are my personal likings

dlc content is full of bugs they stop trading at the docks and going to school

I recommend the plantor DLC. It add a awesome trait that makes farmers learn faster as well as giving you a better price for cash crops. The map you get from it is awesome as well and the mission is pretty fun.

[Guugs, The Silent But Deadly]

Though as far as recommendations go I'd go for Quick Dry Cement. Money making factory from nothing and speeds up construction.

I just bought the package with everything when it was on sale for cheap

Just buy the package when its on sale...you don't have to use the buildings or traits added if you don't like them. Plantador is nice for cutting down on the amount of farms needed.

check on humble bundle too. i got all my expansions for full price from steam. and had i just looked at humble i coulda saved 50%. also ones that are worth getting, modern times is an absolute must.

i also highly recommend checking out some of the mods as well. because the artificial population cap is about 1500. so u will stall out at that many inhabitants on the islands.
