I wanted to build a bundle for The Sims 4 as there are several packs I don't currently own, but when I go to the bundles page, it only lists four pre-made bundles and there's no option to build your own. has this option been removed permanently?
@jillianbillingsYes, I think the build the bundle option was only available when you bought sims with your packs but now that the base game is free to play though are now expired. They are using the DLC for the end of life funding for the next few DLC and The Sims 5.
Edit though it may take while to build a new game, at least we know it is coming at some point.I’m not sure that’s true, I’ve owned the base game for years and have used the build a bundle in the past. usually you pick 1 expansion pack, 1 game pack and 1 stuff pack. I don’t believe the base game was ever part of the bundles.
- @jillianbillings I was looking right now they have the supernatural bundle, maybe after Halloween the create a bundle will return.
@jillianbillings You can still bundle through Origin, although I don't think the EA App has that function at the moment. If you need to reinstall Origin, you can find a download link here:
Sign into Origin, find Sims 4 in the store (not in your game library), and scroll down to just below the info in "Overview," like so:
Click the Build Your Bundle button and you should be good to go.
Please keep in mind that High School Years, Werewolves, and Wedding Stories are currently not available for bundling.
@Sid1701d9 It has been possible for a number of years to bundle the expansion, game pack, and stuff pack of your choice, aside from the occasional lockout of the newest releases. Buying the base game at the same time has never been a requirement.
I found it, thank you!! I had been using the EA app so had to reinstall Origin. High School Years is the only EP I don't own so unfortunately it won't let me build a bundle. I read in other threads that EPs are usually available to bundle a few weeks after release but it's been out since the end of July. any idea when/if it'll be an option for bundling?
@jillianbillings There hasn't been any update on enabling bundling for any new packs, unfortunately. You can keep an eye on this thread for new information:
Hey everyone,
I have been on the EA website and the app and there is no option to build your own bundles or add on more games when purchasing. All I can see are EA made game bundles. Did they remove this option?
@Cstragalas The option does show within the EA App, but only if you are able to build a bundle. (In the Origin app, the button is there in the game's description regardless, but you'd get the "you're quite the collector" message if you owned everything.)
Please keep in mind that High School Years, Werewolves, and Wedding Stories cannot be bundled at this time. EA has not indicated when these packs will be added.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your help
when will the sims4 wedding stories & high school years be added to buy on bundle & save on EA ?...as waiting for them to be added so i can buy as part of the bundle?
@gemzyc123 We don't know when, or even if, the new packs will be made available for bundling. But I'll update this thread whenever we get more information either way.
Hi there,
Any chance the kits will be available as bundle/s? The game has like released 17+ kits and yet I rarely see these kits on sale.
Most sim titles (stuff packs & Exp) that are on sale are quite old and have been released for a long time, with the exception of two game packs released in 2022.
It would be nice to see some 'fresh' content on sale that is available for long-term players who already own the majority of DLC minus the kits.
- @Boldenbeau Good idea, I often add a couple at a time. It would be great if console players could bundle too as currently that option isn't available to us.
