    Do you think Kits will ever be discounted? For example, with the holidays coming up or anniversary sales?

      I hope so because there are a few kits I’m interested in, but I refuse to buy dlc at full price.

      Probably not. Seeing how so many people keep saying "It's only $5", I doubt EA is going to shoot themselves in the foot by catering to the seemingly much smaller crowd that says "This stuff is overpriced, I'll only buy it when it goes on sale".
      Besides, it's not like this type of content is in any way designed to entice people to further expand their game (and thus spend more money). It's just teeny tiny collections of rather niche stuff.
      As much as I'd like to be wrong (because I do think kits are overpriced and won't buy them for that reason), I don't see it happening. Also taking into account how rare stuff pack sales already are, and those are a tier (or two) up compared to kits.

      I think this winter, black Friday and the sale for the holidays, will tell if they ever go on sale. I can't say yet.
      I hope they go on sale when origin has a general sale, a certain percentage on all games. But I don't expect them to become part of the 'regular' sales when just a few sims DLC are on sale.

      There are two or three I would get on sale, but not at full price because they are too expensive compared to other types of packs,especially stuff packs.

      As they’re £5 already I can’t see them going less. Maybe one day… 🤞

      The option to bundle them would be good. Buy 3 get one free etc. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Now alternating between Sims 2,3 and 4! 😊☕️🌞

      Ever is a long time. I don't think they'll go on a sale for years, stuff packs didn't at first either. This year, I think absolutely not.

      Kits are relatively new still, so that's probably why we haven't seen any go on sale yet. I imagine they will be at some point though, just like any other pack.
      Sims 4 Wish List:
      • > Option to toggle on/off random townie generation.
      • > Turn vacation worlds into residential worlds.
      • > Option to purchase separate worlds or a world pack.
      • > Sleepwear kit.
      • > Atomic age kit.

      They're $5... lol We're lucky to even see the stuff packs go on sale from time to time.

      No as they are only like 5 dollars so theres no point for ea to put them on sale

      I don't know if they will ever go on sale, but if/when they add more gameplay kits (which, granted, take longer and require more testing) I could see a "build your own bundle" deal with three kits for like $12usd or something.

      I wonder if they can be bundled at a discount in the future.

      $5 is a discount price point already. I don't think they need to lower that any further.

      I don't think so. Some form of kit bundle, maybe, but I see even that as unlikely.
      I like fantasy and a bit of Sci-Fi. Want to know what I'm reading?
      I also like wandering the hills.

      I think once kit sales start decreasing they will go on sale. They are still new and shiny now, and lots of people are buying them at full price. :smile:

      I think they should go on sale, but I don't think they will anytime soon.

      doubtful, not that i would buy them anyway but yeah I doubt it.

      Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.

      Once they have enough of them, they'll probably bundle them. Sims 3 store items still go on dramatic sales all of the time to keep people interested in them.

      I doubt they will. Stuff Packs rarely get discounted so I think the lower cost packs are usually pretty fixed in price.

      $5/Kit adds up... We already have what is it, 9 kits total (that includes upcoming menswear Kit) which is $45 in kits alone. That's the practically a full Expansion price for significantly less content. Content not just referring to CAS and BB items but gameplay features, world addition, etc.
    • EternalSunshineEternalSunshine Posts: 340 Member
      EA should put kits on sale because IMHO at $4.99, they are overpriced for the amount of content that they offer. However, I do not think that kits will go on sale at all this year. Sales on Origin this year, as a whole, have been disappointing.

      As far as I'm concerned, they're dirt cheap, now. How much under five American dollars would you like?

      I sure hope we get sales. I'd actually like Bust the Dust one day, assuming they ever get around to tuning it. But Kits are almost $8 in my country, which is a pretty ridiculous price for what little they offer.

      I purchased all of my regular SPs for $4.99. So, to me, a kit with roughly a 1/3 of the content of an SP should be priced at most at $2.50.

      I seriously doubt it. Many people spend more than that on a cup of coffee or tea at a coffee house or tea room. I don't mean that like, "Dude, its so cheap" Just, when people spend more on less daily, many are going to spend the 5 for "permanent" content without blinking and EA's less likely to lower the price for those who won't.
      Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.

      I seriously doubt it, but who knows? Maybe after a few years.

      Absolutely. I was rather irked to find that in the current Origin sale, Cottage Living is only 38% off. I steadfastly refuse to buy an expansion pack at more than half price. I'm hoping it will be 50% off during the Christmas sale this year.
