    Anyone know how long this is on for? I'm tempted to make getting Spooky Stuff cheaper (I really want it only for a handful of the CAS items).

    Ditto, will probably pick up Spooky Stuff and Romantic Garden Stuff.

    Maybe I should just go ahead. A Pirate-themed family restaurant could be fun in one of my saves. Mostly I just want pirate and centurion costumes, and the little girls' tiara hair. I'll just forgo buying something else :/ The better-than-at-home coffee I was thinking I could use today or something. (It still does make for an expensive small handful of costumes, since I'm really not into Halloween play!)

    To anyone deciding which packs to pick up I would recommend Outdoor Retreat and Spooky Stuff. :kissing_closed_eyes:

    Aaaaw I talked with my boyfriend about the stuff pack... I want all of them and he told me "why don't you buy 2 stuff packs, you'll just have to not buy any breakfast in the morning for 2 weeks" (I buy something on the go once a week)... I can do it, but only two? I want kitchen stuff, movie hangout, romantic garden, patio stuff...... It's haaaaard to choose. If I could, I would get all of them, but that would mean that I'll have to not buy any breakfast for 4 weeks? I can't! I'll cheat, I know myself xD

    how do you put in the discount? I've tried the origin client and the website and can't find a place to put the discount :(

    EDIT: It was hiding. Most likely a glitch, for anyone else who may have the issue, it's in the order summary box.

    Hmmmm... This is very tempting! The only 2 stuff packs I dont have is Spooky and Movie Stuff... I'm not into Halloween or the boho style, but there are a few items in each I wouldn't mind having, and getting these on sale might make it feel like less of a waste of money, lol.... Buuuut, my hubby really dislikes EA, and grumbles about giving them money every time I talk about buying Sims stuff. Lol. Sooo, now the question is, is the sale worth having to listen to his 'EA is plum' schpeal?

    If you really want them, get them now. It may be some time before you will be able to get them at this discount. I'm not sure if The Sims 4 DLC packs ever get a better discount than 30%.

    @fabeme Isn't Dine Out supposed to come out in a bundle with Movie Hangout Stuff and Romantic Garden Stuff? If it were me, I'd wait on the bundle for those and buy the remaining two. :)

    Last sale for stuff pack was last Halloween and only for spooky stuff. Before it was spring 2015 so it has been a while.

    For game pack we often have sales and I've seen 50% off on expansion pack 3 or 4 times.

    In North America, at least, bundle pricing isn't a discounted price so far - just a way of purchasing the content outside Origin.

    I was going to take advantage of the discount .. (really wanted Romantic Garden and Luxury Party SP) but I realized that the new GP is coming out on June 7th so I'll just save my money for that. :) Thanks for sharing though!

    Yeah that's what I was going to answer. The price of the bundles here is the same if I pay each individual items :(

    GTW and GT had a 50% sale some time this year, they are normally £29.99 but were £14.99. I bought a physical copy of GT for the same price before then anyway. Origin prices are absurd and I can almost always find a better price elsewhere.
