This doesn't make any sense, though. If by lowering prices on Sims3, there was a stampede to buy Sims3 instead of Sims4, it's still making money, and it's making 2021 dollars, for work that is all done and paid for long ago for an investment price that couldn't be matched in today's money. It's literally making new money off a paid-in-full mortgage. Or like a songwriter still making bank from royalties on a song he wrote 20 years ago.
How would people funneling money into a product that is no longer being actively developed or having any money spent on it, be anything but a bonus?

So the likelihood of seeing Sims 3 packs on for those cheap prices ever again is probably slim to none. Even EA knows which one the better game is.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~

What is strange is that Expansion Packs are the same price as Stuff Packs. It was not like that before.
As @Felicity pointed out, you can buy the bundle with everything with an original discount of 65% or higher if you already own something.
I guess that is cheapest way for me to go, but I really don’t care for Showtime or Diesel packs.
Personally I really like the Diesel SP as far as SPs go, but of course that's just me. Showtime, meh I can take it or leave it except that it provides for Genies. And bananas. Oh, and dominoes. They always throw things like this into the EPs that makes each one of them vital to some of us, once we experience them.

Just want to post a link to the entire The Sims 3 (DLC) Collection bundle which is only USD$66.50!!! That's ALL the DLCs at 82% off!!! That's USD$3.50 per DLC!!!
Get it while you can! This has been a rare event lately!!!

PS-I took a closer look at it and it's just the DLCs. The base game is USD$9.99. All together though, it's still a great deal!

What makes you believe it's Steam who decides what the price of a game is? It's the game publisher.
Logic dictates that the publisher enters into an agreement with an authorized re-seller that sets the suggested pricing and guidelines as to the min and max that the re-seller can charge. But I really don't think the publisher gets to dictate when and how sales happen. This isn't like the prices that are set for Steam by individual and smaller game creators and development studios under the standard contracts that we can all see. EA's agreements with Steam/Valve are not covered by those and are unique.
But this is admittedly my fault for applying logic to the gaming industry, so that was quite foolish of me. It's not like I have inside knowledge or anything like that, so of course I defer to others who do.
