Do you code or Model?

Packs are good examples of how you should build your content.
A suggestion to you would be to buy one or two packs that have a varitey of what your looking for.
Then learn how to make your own pieces from the pack.
Be selective in your purchases, buy things as you need them, not all at once.

I model and code, the problem is that i can invest some money in the project, and these packs can haste a lot the project

it would take me like 6 months to make these packs, but 500-600$ arent impossible to get in 1 or 2 months

should i get them all?

It will takes you a lot more than 6 months to redo those packs.

I suggess you to acquire a few packs for prototyping, and then, to wait for the end of your developement to buy other content packs.
