I've bought it twice, as I purchased one for me and one as a gift. But we'll be getting "Desert Luxe kit" free as a gesture. It's a kit I would have bought as it looks lovely and with the disruption to my game from recent expansion packs, I'd rather have a kit than a pack as (touch wood) I've found less bugs in kits. However I think store credits might have been more appropriate as the base game price has varied over the years and platforms. But still, we are getting something nice. I'd also have been happy to see them introduce "bundling" for console players, as we miss out on that.
I'm just wondering if it's a precursor to something as there's a lot of speculation it's paving the way for a Sims 5 announcement. In this new era where greater communication has been asked for and a new Twitter thread announced...maybe we'll find out. I'm not on Twitter but am assured it will be highlighted on the Twitter bar on here too. So let's watch this space...
