Correct me if I'm wrong here, but buying each stuff pack and game pack separately on Origin is actually cheaper than buying this new bundle on Amazon.
Luxury Party: £7.99
Perfect Patio: £7.99
Spa Day: £14.99
Total: £30.97
Bundle 1: £34.84
Ehm?

Well then it's a rip off.

It's not your fault!
They can make items cheaper by paying no distribution costs which means we get better value.
The reason why this is more expensive is because you are paying for the distribution. Which is why EA were against releasing Stuff Packs and Game Packs in store. Because it would mean the price to cover distribution costs would go up.
Buying Worlds in store rather than on the Sims 3 store was also more expensive. I could have bought Hidden Springs instore for $30 where it's only $20 on the store.

Every DLC including the bundled versions have different prices in different stores.
Origin is not Amazon nor is other stores and prices will differ.
You, as a smart person, will of course buy what you want where you'll pay less. If prices are the same, you'll buy anywhere.
For bargains, it's always good to wait for a sale and it's only your choice if you'll buy something at it's release day or later when it gets discounted.
This is exactly what I was thinking. I've seen a lot of complaints about that.
I was at Best Buy recently and you could buy cards for Origin and Steam. I realize everyone isn't in the US. Gift cards are the only way I use iTunes since I had a fraudulent charge on my CC from them. I will never give them CC info again.

OP was talking about British pounds -- not sure what the current exchange rate is but that could be the reason for the difference.
As for the pricing, was that in a store or on Origin? I saw the packaging at Target the other day but I forgot how much it was -- I think it was 29.99 which would be the same price as buying the two packs (Patio Stuff and Spa Day) separately.

That's $20 for the GP, $10 for the SP so same price as buying them individually. Not really a savings, but it's easier for some people like me to purchase.
$1 = 75p (£0.75) approx

I wish we could get them in the UK bit we cant. Mind you I own everything so far for 4 and I used origin it doesn't bother me that much. I've seen alot of people unhappy tho about the content being digital. My friends daughter plays the Sims 4 and couldn't buy the stuff\game packs with her pocket money. I've bought them all for her now tho anyway.
When you say US do you mean capitalised us or US as in USA?
Earlier I was in GAME UK (it was a big one) and as I walked past the PC games to the console games (ps4 to be exact) and i saw physical case copies of luxury party and perfect patio and get to work (only recently I think they got them in) and the base game on the top shelf. Caught my eye. The economy of European countries is collapsing (sad but true) so less people buy online (but most still do) so maybe ea wants the same business so sells them as off the shelf products. This is just a theory though since it seems to be Europe getting the 3-item bundle instead of 2-item bundle, aswell as occasional retailers selling physical and I don't mean codes, no they have proper cases. My idea is only a theory and never will be anything more.

Oops I mean USA!
You may be on to something there, your theory makes sense.
No if you want to display the coverart it isn't ridiculous. I happen to be a collector.
Its actually the other way round here in Australia.
Luxury Party: $15
Perfect Patio: $15
Spa Day: $30
Total: $60
Price of Bundle: $49.95
Saving of $11.05
Ebay should have better deals for both the individual games and the bundles.
