    Wondering if I should say "You're welcome" or "Sorry...". Either way you're set for weeks of fun :)

    What do they have against Stuff Packs? I was actually planning on buying some.

    I feel you! There's literally one single object I want from Vintage Glamour (the bar).

    Last year they had selected SPs discounted for short periods of time, I got the Bowling one this way. Maybe they'll do something similar again next year. Other than that the only time I saw an SP discounted was when Origin had a sale for all their games.

    Yeah, I was going to get Laundry Day if it went on sale, but it kinda doesn't matter for me now anyway because my Origin is messed up and won't let me download the latest patch and I can only play offline at the moment.

    Thanks for this. I just built a bundle and got Seasons (EP), Realm Of Magic (GP), and Moschino Stuff (SP).

    BYOB still shows 28% off even though i've deleted the cache twice in the past few hours. i'm assuming it is meant to be like that?

    I'm actually considering DU because there is a good response to it even though there are no new traits and the like. However because of BYOB's uncertainty, i don't know if i should consider getting Get to Work and Strangerville instead, even though that might cost me slightly more.

    I already have expansions: Get Together, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous and City Living.
    Packs: Fitness Stuff, Parenthood, Dine Out, Perfect Patio Stuff and Holiday Celebrations.

    Sweet. Maybe I could go get DU. But like, I don't even play the game that often anymore and just bought RoM which I haven't even played yet. LOL.

    Good. I should have cash arriving for the holidays, I can set some aside for gaming (after PBS Premium and a Zoo membership.)

    Frustrated at the lack of SPs, that's all I have left to get!

    Well, looks like I'll be gifting some packs to guild mates this year.

    I agree with @ryttu3k though, I only have a couple of SPs missing and I've been waiting for sales.

    Agreed! I have everything but a handful of Stuff Packs.

    Even CDKeys doesn't have any real discounts.

    Can anyone confirm the BYOB pricing (in percentage) at this point? I haven't been able to get a reliable answer out of Origin.

    I'm from Singapore and BYOB means Bring Your Own Bag, so I got confused a bit. XD
    But other than that, I can't check this for you cuz I have almost all the packs already.

    I get 37% off on a bundle. I'm not getting the extra 10% Access discount.

    37% hmm. my origin launcher isn't giving any useful readings despite multiple cache clearances. Thank you.
    I might have the purge the launcher from the computer, root and stem and try again. i'll try keep the games installed if possible, rather not have to go through days worth of downloading again.

    Just out of curiousity i look around other places that sell TS4 and their DLC content and i noticed Amazon UK are still selling DU at full price despite the 50% sale on DU in Origin.

    i'm not going to decide on anything just yet, got over a week to commit to something.
