    I spent this much:

    Base game + Luxury Party stuff + Perfect Patio stuff + Holiday stuff = $20.00 (Target-exclusive edition)
    Seasons expansion pack = $20 (paid with free Amazon gift cards, earned through Bing Rewards)
    Get To Work expansion pack = $20 (paid with free Amazon gift cards, earned through Bing Rewards)
    Laundry Day stuff pack = $5 (paid with free Amazon gift cards, earned through Bing Rewards)
    Bust the Dust kit = $5 (paid with leftover money on my EA Wallet)
    Get Together = $20 - $5 = $15 (EA's discounted price further discounted by a free $5 Amazon gift card earned through Bing Rewards, paid the rest with own money)
    Parenthood = $15 (EA's discounted price, paid with own money)

      I spent a lot more than that….. lol! I don’t wait for sales often, usually get packs within a week or two. But, I am careful with the way I spend my money on most things in my life. I do splurge on my sims though.

      I try not to think about the cost. Been playing the Sims since day one and it's a little late to worry about how much it cost.

      The amount I decided to pay for it. No regrets.
      I still do not have all the packs. But that has nothing to do with how much they cost.
      My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
      Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
      My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
      Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

      Well... I mean... I think the amount I’ve spent is... the total? Well... when you calibrate currency... always watch for sales and totally not hooked by trailers... not being enticed by CAS or build items and always being logical in purchases... well the total would be...

      Oh my phone is ringing! Gotta go.
      Now alternating between Sims 2,3 and 4! 😊☕️🌞

      So far, whatever the cost is of everything minus Batu (still don't know how to spell that, still don't care), and the kit with just the clothes in it. Although, I do sometimes buy expansions early on sale from CD keys.

      Now wondering what I've spent in total for all sims games? Been playing for 21 years now, so I'm sure it's an absurd amount.

      Like your username, my eyes would be watery if I calculated it.

      £85 (physical) Collector's Edition Base Game
      10x EPs at £34.99 each (£349.90)
      10x GPs at £17.99 each (£179.90)
      18x SPS at £7.99 each (143.82)
      4x Kits at £4.99 each (£19.96)
      =£778.58 (plus I bought a few packs as gifts/giveaways over the years) :flushed:

      To be fair, that's over 8 years (2014-2021) and I don't spend much money on eating out/cinemas/streaming services etc. So it's an interest I enjoy. :blush:

      Anyway I think it as a hobby. As playing it is a hobby to me.

      And I can think a lot more hobbies what would cost me a multiple amount of money , than this game ,during past 7 years.

      oh I enjoy stuff like this!
      I'm Australian, so USD will be in brackets.

      I have spent $864.52 ($666.33USD) on purchases both full price (mostly the EPs) and sale (mostly the SPs etc).

      What interests me *more* is looking at things I purchase in a "Dollars per hours of entertainment" ($/HoE) ratio. When done this way, the Sims becomes insanely cheap! I don't even play Sims very frequently, I play other games and tend to play Sims for a month or so then not play it for a few months, so since release of the first EP I have played 1133 hours (per Origin).

      Which means that, $/HoE I have spent 76c (.59cUSD) for each hour of gameplay.

      Now, a movie ticket costs $23(~$18) where I live and runs for 1-2.5h, so being generous: that movie on the $/HoE ratio costs $9.20($7.09) -- Super expensive!

      Edit: OH! I also spent a bit of money for two realllly good CC content makers on Patreon so its more like $900 but still!

      Too much to have it feel like a bargain, but little enough that I don't feel I wasted my money.

      Even though I got everything (except the Bust the Dust) up-to-date & somehow managed to also give my daughter most of the packs. I'm not a heavy gamer. I only like once in a blue moon, playing Sims 3. And I really enjoy my Sims 4 & my Civilization IV. That's about it. ;)

      Yeah, it’s a hobby for me too. There isn’t a lot I do much anymore, my youngest lets me use their Netflix, when my friends and I go to movies ( which I haven’t done in over a year because of the pandemic ), we usually go on senior day. I do enjoy eating out with friends, and family ( also limited because of the pandemic ), but we don’t usually go to fancy restaurants, and there are often lunch specials. I don’t spend a lot on clothes….. I do usually buy most of my clothes on sale. To me, sims is a priority right up there with electricity and water ( two things I hate spending money on, but is inevitable ).

      I am going to echo this.

      I pick up packs that interest me. The price point isn't a concern (although a sale might persuade me, if I am waffling).

      I migrated from TS3 when base game was free in 2019. Since then, I don't know, a few hundred bucks? I am not keeping count.

      It was over the course of some years, I don't worry about it. I've made good use of the gaming computer that I was gifted when I started playing TS4. If I divide it by how much I played it, I got my money's worth so far.

      Uhh, so I have 8 EP, 2 GP, 6 SP.
      Some of them I bought on sale. Full price is ~$420, so a little less than that.

      I've bought everything for full price, except for 'Cats & Dogs' (which I bought at Target for 50% off), 'Eco Lifestyle' (which I bought from Amazon for 50% off), and 'Snowy Escape' (which I got from Best Buy after redeeming reward points).

      I haven't bought 'My First Pet' or the cringe worthy Star Wars pack... and don't plan to!

      Otherwise, yeah, everything else was full price!
