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...

In terms of the actual content itself, the Stuff packs can add quite a bit more to the game when it comes to gameplay. The Bust the Dust Kit unusually for a kit has gameplay but a small amount of content. But Crystal Creations adds a lot for me. I think it compares with Paranormal in that respect. In fact it probably adds more. Especially since you get the majority of the content through the Gemology Skill by being able to produce so many varied creations. I think it's brilliant value although admittedly needed some attention regarding bugs. I looked at it and thought there would be more but then once my Sim started creating items I saw the real value of it.
Edit: I've just learned that we can craft 1000 different items with the Crystal Creations pack...wow that's a lot!
@simsplayer818 That is great. I like to go to thesims4.com every now and then, and I catch up on the news and updates. I read all of the articles. And when EA introduced "kits", they provided a scale and description of the different types of packs and the kits. I don't remember it by heart though. The Sims 4 is awesome, I love The Sims 3, and I started with The Sims 2. I'm just hope that it won't be like a bait and switch effect. I love all of the packs and kits. I bought them all. I just didn't buy the build kits yet. I prefer Create A Sim items. So there are no problems. Typically you get what you pay for. I just hope packs don't get smaller and smaller. Most packs in the past have remained about the same.
- @angelboi7531 I somehow didn't consider if file size could differ between platforms. In any case I agree with you and hope stuff packs don't get smaller content wise.
For me it's the opposite with kits, I tend to gravitate towards build kits. I definitely prefer stuff packs over kits. Kits cost half the money of a stuff pack but don't offer half the content. But I bought a few of the kits and am pleased with the quality of the items.
