Addon pack are selected bonus you can add on to your game if you don’t want to buy a full pack but you want feature from multiple different pack working by a point system. Each feature comes with a point depending on how many points it worth change the number of items you can add in a customize addon pack that will have a set lesser than a stuff pack. There is 100 points available for all addon packs.
Feature automatically included in all addon pack:
- The Sims should create a similar system to Sims4Studio and Sims tray file. One of the reasons so we don’t have to worry about update
- This if for people that like to customize more, because some design features in the sims 4 was so limited by adding this you can customize your own design using whatever pack you used as a base. It should be an easy use system to recolour objects or redesign styles.
- It shouldn’t count as CC because your using sims program, but you can still use mods and CC not associated to the sims for customization
- You should be able to make tray file and see what CC is being used on your sims or lot for all content ( including CC).
- Your design automatically get update with the game updates and you can share them on the gallery.

Ps: I’d rather have 2 expansions and 2 games packs and a year and stuff pack now and then (between 2 years) , rather than 4 stuff packs, 2 or 1 game pack and 1 expansion a year (which is kind of what we got in the beginning of the Sims 4 franchise)

  • All of your posts have a lot of content (which if I'm being honest, is too much for my ADHD brain to handle all at once), but I will say that your posts highlight what I think is the overall want from Simmers here on the forum which is more versatility/adaptability/customization of our games based on our individual playing styles from the very beginning with fully fleshed out ideas/concepts that can support a multitude of playing styles. It's easy for people to say all of the things they don't want in their games because it doesn't fit their specific style of play, but having the option to include or exclude elements of the game (and not through purchase or non-purchasing of packs, but rather toggle features within the base game) is actually what would make the game exponentially better, in my opinion. And to do that, there needs to be a large amount of offerings from the very beginning.
