I recently learned that Canadian pre-paid Vista cards don't work on Origin. So that means anyone who is Canadian have NO way unless they use if they are under 18 or don't work their parents' credit card of buying sims 4 GPs/SPs. And when you also think of the fact that EA/Origin gift cards are not for sale any place expect U.S. and even if I went and bought such a thing there is 100% guarantee of it NOT working. Petition if you want GPs/SP to be sold in stores or at least allow non-US countries to get EA/Origin gift cards

Signed, on behalf of my teenage son.
However, I'm not going to lie. The vast difference in price vs content of what we get by having GP's and SP's as DLC only is a big difference. By removing the cost of production/shipping/storage of these releases, we're getting more for the money. Additionally, the loss of the Sims 3 store concept saves money on cost as well because they don't have to "host" that massive online catalog and purchasing system and pay someone to maintain it. By offering everything as DLC straight up, it makes it cheaper for us for the add on packs, beyond expansions.
I think expansion packs should still be offered everywhere in stores tho. But for the smaller packs? DLC all the way. I was once against it, but man the process gives us more for the buck. 10$ for LPS? That's a great deal for 50 objects when 2 of them are PC items. That would run a lot of money in the Sims 3 store. At least double.
Not an option since my sister has a paypal account and I think she's been hacked a couple of times
Individuals have been hacked though their own actions such as responding to a phishing email. If you've had a PP account hacked it's because of something you've done. PayPal itself has never been hacked.
If EA are worried about costs, perhaps they could release compilation DVD's containing multiple stuff and game packs (with optional installation of each).
EDIT - I personally don't like digital downloads, you never can trust EA not to suddenly cut you off without any explanation *cough* SC2013 *cough*.

I hope they do give you what you want, just be realistic if they don't.
I do understand what you're saying. I don't want to have to make a paypal account and any other way people suggest are not options for a lot of places. Since for example like I said in the the OP Canadian pre-paid Visa cards don't work for Origin and EA/Orign aren't been sold anywhere in Canada-Target went under up here and Blockbuster Videos went under ages ago and I have a friend who works at Best Buy and I was in another Best Buy location and 0 EA/Origin Gift Cards. Having EA/Origin Gift Cards would really be useful I hear in one country which doesn't even have physical copies of GTW in part of I think Asia. And think of the children (teenagers) who are under 18 who play the game here in Canada? If their parents don't want to buy it via credit card they're out of luck.
it can be hard to get them in Denmark if not... and if your not 18.
or better yet sell the codes at retail stores.
