What is the cheapest you've seen Sims 4 DLC marked down to?

Hey! I only buy Sims 4 DLC (Expansions, Game, and Stuff Packs) if they are marked down. I've seen packs marked down at 25% off and 50% off, but have they ever had a bigger sale than that? Like 75% off or maybe 60%? This would help me a lot with choosing when to buy DLC. Thank you so much!

  • @meaghanaoleary1, to my memory, I only remember up to 50%.  I could be wrong about that though. 🤔  I have purchased at least half of the packs on sale, but I haven't paid much attention to the sales lately since I have all the packs now.  I know I have gotten some for 50% though.  🙂

    There is one exception, but you have to be an Origin Access subscriber.  Yesterday I saw some news that Origin Access subscribers could get Perfect Patio Stuff (SP) for free! 🤨😎  So while that is the biggest discount I've ever seen, you already have to have a subscription, which costs money to begin with.  Ideal if you are already a subscriber and don't have this pack, or if you were seriously considering becoming a subscriber 😎, but if you don't want to subscribe, then the free pack probably isn't worth it. 😉

  • I recall seeing some DLC marked down to as most as 60%, but that's once in a blue moon. I would recommend being patient if you really don't want to pay a 10% difference. But to be honest the packs do cost a lot of money for what you get though...

    @Danny100t, and @meaghanaoleary1 , the only Sims 4 items I've ever seen marked down more than 50% was for the Base Game. (In fact it is on for sale now at 75% off!! 🤨:eahigh_file: !)   But since @meaghanaoleary1  was asking about DLC packs, I didn't mention that. 😉  While it is possible for some of the packs to have been offered at more than 50% off, I've never seen it personally!  🤨 It would be rare if they do it. ☹️

    Currently, there is a 40% sale for EPs, which is a great deal! 🥳  Sure, you can wait for a bigger sale, but then you run the risk of it never being offered for that much of a discount.😢 And even if it is offered later at a bigger discount, you might have to wait for more than a year for it to occur! 😞
