The Stuff Packs Are Getting Smaller?
The latest Stuff Packs are smaller, like the size of Kits. I checked. On my Xbox One/ Xbox Series S, new packs "Home Chef Hustle" & "Crystal Creations", they are only 10.1 MB. A Kit is usually aro...

@angelboi7531 Are you sure those numbers are being reported correctly? Home Chef Hustle is 264.3 MB on my Mac.
@puzzlezaddict Maybe it is smaller on console. It's 10.1 MB. But its not a big problem, I just hope that packs don't get smaller and cost more. I "love" the game. I have all of the packs, except a few build kits. It may differ on platform to platform. I had though it was a glitch at first. The latest ones are 10.1 MB, and some kits are 10.1 MB. So I guess it might be a console thing. Smaller file sizes.
@angelboi7531 I'm sure pack sizes do differ between platforms, but it's hard to believe that all the content of a 264 MB stuff packs would fit into 10.1 MB on a console. The same goes for the most recent two kits, which are 60 and 115 MB in macOS. There's only so much the assets can be reduced, and scripted gameplay is even more difficult to compress.
It's even more difficult to believe that multiple packs and kits would all be exactly 10.1 MB. The statistical likelihood seems extremely low that they would be of equal size no matter what that size was. So I stand by my theory that this is simply a reporting error.
- @puzzlezaddict Oh, not all of my kits are 10.1 MB. Only "some" kits and bonus content is around 10.1 MB. Some of the kits and bonus content is larger. All I am saying is that I noticed Crystal Creations downloaded too quickly, and I thought it was a mistake or glitch. Then I went into manage game on my Xbox. I was very concerned by its file size. I figured it was way too small to be a stuff pack. The stuff pack is fully functional. Its just "tiny". So my Xbox is working. I shared it because I thought was strange. And I don't want future packs to shrink. As a consumer, you don't want next to nothing. So in short, I will be observing the file sizes plus content given. If another Xbox user were present, they could confirm what I saying. Regardless, I am content with the feedback I have gotten thus far. My questions are being answered. Thank you for your time and careful consideration.
@angelboi7531I think this latest one looks deceptively small but once you've created everything with it it's actually the biggest amount of content we've got. It's just not there at the start.
On console the actual storage of the jewellery items themselves is a slight concern for me as the items worn by the Sim remain as an inventory item while worn. Storing a lot in Sims inventories across multiple households can be a cause of lagging and crashing. So I'm going to keep an eye on that on my Xbox Series X. I haven't looked at the file sizes on my console but that's how I would explain the size of this pack. It's a pack where it's content is created by you and will require more storage as you go along.🎮
- @puzzlezaddict I tried to take a screenshot of manage game on Xbox. The Xbox said that I have to be playing a game order to take a screenshot. So I'd just have to wait until other Xbox user gives a response. So its all good. Have a great day.
I am downloading crystal creations at this very moment and it's 269 MB. That's on a windows PC.
