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...

Interesting question. I have a feeling that home chef hustle and crystal creations are somewhat smaller than paranormal in depth, but that's a feeling, not something you can measure. Paranormal stuff offered a new lot type with a unique gameplay, a new skill and career plus 3 NPC. Home chef hustle offers 3 appliances and a foodstall. So I'd say it feels smaller. OK, I am comparing it to the most elaborate of all stuff packs, but still I think we reached a maximum with paranormal.
The real question is 'does filesize directly relate to the size of a pack?' I mean a pack with a lot of gameplay (a lot of work for coding) can have more impact than a pack with a lot stuff (textures and 3D models) but might not require the same amount of MB. I mostly look at the features of a pack and what they mean for my personal playstyle. The file size of a DLC only matters for space on my hard drive.
@atreya33 I think consoles may have smaller file sizes in general. I did take time to look at all of my packs and kits. They do differ. I have no complaints on the content itself. I love The Sims, I always have. Besides a few bugs and glitches here and there, the games are awesome. My only concern is that "am I getting what I pay for"? I own everything. If a stuff pack is the size of a kit, then I will get a little concerned. I hope it wasn't rushed or anything. I don't want this to be a pattern or trend. That's all.
