I love all the DLC for the game but the continuous deliverance of stuff packs for $9.99 is a money grab that is turning me off of this game. Many of the stuff packs are related in some way and can easily be added to or joined together with an expansion or game pack.
It is becoming too much. I wouldn't mind if the stuff packs were more reasonably priced at $5.99 or even $6.99 max, but $9.99 is being greedy.

A new Stuff Pack that features recolours of existing items and dispite complaints, people buy it beacuase... It has... The Sims on it...
I have no protest at the cost of stuff packs.
And, king, I guess I am not a person then since you seem to think that people only buy stuff because it has the sims name on it. I buy stuff because I like the look of the content in it, as I am sure majority of simmers do.
I don't know why you have to insist on spreading the sims 4 hate in every possible thread you can when you don't even play the game. Surely you would find more enjoyment hanging out in TS3 forum? Or do you just like running down TS4 at every opportunity?
Ten dollars isn't a bad price, at least in my opinion.
Exactly my words. Why on earth do critics that don't even play the game go to a sims forum just to spread sims 4 hate. That's evil trolling in my opinion. I too love the stuff packs, and yes, it's a reasonable price for stuff that adds both gameplay and more content.
King HAS played the game, and even if they hadn't they still have their right to state their opinion. A forum is a place where people have discussions, not to blindly praise. While you both have good points, it's ridiculous to call this "hate" and it's twice as ridiculous and rude to call somebody a troll.

You forgot to include, non-matched items. Here is a new couch, but no loveseat and/or armchair to match. Here is some new kitchen cabinets, island and/or overhead pieces not included.
There are times I do miss CAST so much cause I think my sims family room ends up looking like random stuff picked up from different estate sales.
As for the OP, simple enough. Don't buy it the day it comes out. Get it on sale.
What do you guys think?

That was a lighthearted joke.
I do spend a lot of time in the TS3 GD as there are some cool threads in there
The reason this doesn't worry me is that having some seasonal activities in SPs mean that those don't have to go in a Seasons EP, which means other stuff can - maybe more kinds of winter activities, for example, or more reactions to the weather itself, or (please please please) Sims having to deal with hot houses in the summer and cold ones in the winter.
Thanks
I don't hate TS4 as some of it is cool like CAS and good game performance.
8 SPs, 3 GPs and only 2 EPs feels very unbalanced for a 2 years game.. At least from some old simmers point of view.
SPs are pretty straightforward, they add stuff. But I dont like the content being breaken into pieces by GPs. I feel that the content of GPs could be easily included in EPs full of other content too. In my country, a GP costs the same as an EP in the old days, and the EPs cost about the same as the base game used to cost. its very expensive for a fragmented experience. Besides, I feel like GPs dont help in the game integration, the content for the sims 4 doesnt seem to "talk" to each other very much.
These are just some personal views on this system though, as I actually think the content in the GPs is very good.
Also, I think their choice for launching content in this early years of The Sims 4 very weird. It's almost like they are asking for people to complain. Want to release 8 stuff packs, fine, but at least don't push an almost identical theme pack... Backyard stuff after we had perfect patio seems a very weird choice. I think they are asking for headaches
Because many people actually bought this game out of trust for Maxis, that promised many things not yet delivered. And this base game was the most expansive ever. So yeah, some people keep coming here on that basis.
It's the persons problem if they bought the game, I get it, but meanwhile, the least people unhappy with the game (and I dont feel we are just vocal minority, because this game has broken the sims fanbase in every forum possible) can voice their opinions on the official foruns. It is our right. If you are unhappy that there are unhappy people, then ignore us and go enjoy your game.
Well myself I didn't buy TS4 as it didn't apeal to me but after months of seeing the good and bad and for being criticised for criticising the game 'you never even played the game so you can't complain' I caved in and tried the free trial.
I gave it 30 points out of 100 and wrote it off as 'not the game for me'
I'm all for constructive criticism, but I don't see any of that here.
And who said anything about blindly praising? I have certainly made my fair share of complaints where it is warranted, but I also say nice things about the game where there are things I like.
I no longer play the game either but I still come on the forums and add my comments to some threads in the hope EA takes note (I think they need to know why some simmers are dissatisfied with Sims 4 and keep hoping they might add something that will lure me back to playing it.) I thought everyone was welcome on these forums?
It's not my priority to help you understand. I have just as much right as the next person.
The point I was trying to make (and obviously failed at abysmally lol) is that threads get filled with people just making random unfriendly comments like 'people buy it because it has The Sims on it' - how is that contributing anything other than to rile others up? And there are certain people who pop up regularly making such comments, I guess today is just the day when I finally had enough of reading them.
I apologise @Ash072 if I disrupted your thread in any way. I hope that perhaps you can find some stuff packs on sale in the future so that you can still have them but for less money
The only reason I commented on this particular thread was the post I responded to, I just think King has a right to post in whatever thread he wants to as long as it's not against forum rules. I found the "not playing don't post about it" that I got from Eleanor a little surprising. All I would have to say about the SPs is they just seem like the Sims 4 store to me, lol. No big deal I always liked new stuff for Sims 3. I really try to avoid the snark but sometimes must admit I can't help it.
I want the TS4 to succeed, I really do. But they need to do better. I hope that all of the lackluster stuff packs have been a stop gap measure because the developers are working on something phenomenal for the next EP. Personally, GTW and GT were not my idea of great expansions. There were other things that I looked forward to so much more. So, here's hoping that the next EP is something more up my alley and, perhaps, for many others like me.
The reasons threads get closed is cause people end up talking about other players and not about the topic. don't want the topic closed, keep the discussion on the topic and ignore the side tracks.
Why are you even discussing her instead of the topic?
