I have just about every pack they ever made (all versions of the game) with exception of one horrid kit. The men's clothing was unusable. I could care less if they made a few packs free and updated to everyone's game because I see the bigger picture. If some of the EPs, GPs & SPs are in everyone's game then there is little excuse for them to not have better cross-pack compatibility and that is a net benefit for everyone. When everyone has the pack then all those packs are basically Base Game. When everything is essentially Base Game then you could introduce a Dessert Area, say Egypt it could have these things for example
- Heat
- Sandstorms
- Camels
- New dog breeds specific to the area
- Egyptology - with a compatible history class at University
- Holiday traditions specific to the area
- Egyptian/Middle Eastern Restaurants with appropriate uniforms for the area
- Mummy Costumes for Spooky Stuff
