Sims 3 Steam Sale Please

omg literally like i rlly want The Sims 3 Ambitions, 70's, 80's and 90's pack and the Showtime pack but they all cost $20 each. why can The Sims 4 along with its packs go on sale while leave The Sims 3 and its packs without a sale especially on black friday?

They used to be quite regularly heavily discounted ($5 a pack) until last year. I suspect it had something to do with it probably stealing sales from TS4.

Yeah they're trying to cram Sims 4 down our throats. Sims 4 is trash compared to Sims 3.

This doesn't make any sense, though. If by lowering prices on Sims3, there was a stampede to buy Sims3 instead of Sims4, it's still making money, and it's making 2021 dollars, for work that is all done and paid for long ago for an investment price that couldn't be matched in today's money. It's literally making new money off a paid-in-full mortgage. Or like a songwriter still making bank from royalties on a song he wrote 20 years ago.

How would people funneling money into a product that is no longer being actively developed or having any money spent on it, be anything but a bonus?

FYI, this site has nothing to do with Steam. Unless you're just speaking to the Sim Gods in general, then please carry on.

TS3 has gone on sale at Steam since the TS4 rollout, though. It wasn't 85% off like in the past and the sale was very brief, but those interested should put the game and its packs on their watch lists so they don't miss the next one (if there is to be a next one).

I know this is a Steam thread but just wanted to post there's an Origin sale.

In case anyone has missed it, you can buy all the Sims 3 packs, minus Katy Perry, for $66.50 USD, on Steam. Individual packs are only 50% off unfortunately.

I got all 5 packs I was missing for only $17!

A Steam promotion with each pack for 50% off has started and goes until January.

What is strange is that Expansion Packs are the same price as Stuff Packs. It was not like that before.

As @Felicity pointed out, you can buy the bundle with everything with an original discount of 65% or higher if you already own something.

I guess that is cheapest way for me to go, but I really don’t care for Showtime or Diesel packs.
