can you buy sims 3 packs without base game

is it possible to buy the sims 3 packs without owning base game? Thinking about getting into Sims 3, esp with the player's delight deal. However I only have enough money for the packs I want, so...

    @FairyDustdoesMC This is a pretty rare situation, but I believe you will be able to purchase DLC without getting the base game. You won't be able to access any of it until you purchase the base game, though.

@FairyDustdoesMC  Yes, technically you can buy DLC, including Sims 3 packs, without owning the base game.  Of course, you can't play with the packs unless you install the base game first.

Do you want to buy Late Night?  If so, you'd be better off buying the Starter Pack, which includes the base game, LN, and High-End Loft Stuff, ($20 U.S.) rather than buying LN separately.  It's unlikely that the base game would be less than $10: I've never seen it on sale for that little.  So you might be saving money in the long run, and at least coming out even, by getting the Starter Pack now.
