I often make the decision that "I am going to buy the pack one day anyway so I might as well buy it within the allowed time limit of that offer and get the additional items if there are items that I like."
I feel that I kinda need to explain my reasoning though, especially considering how vocal I have been about EA's business practices in the past. I have changed a bit when it comes to how I feel about the sims4, the thing is that I have for years kinda felt that I should show when I am displeased with EA's business practices and not buy packs early or don't buy them at all and I have been very vocal about bugs and other things that have been less great with the sims4. When kits were introduced I was very "anti-kit" and refused to buy them.
But I noticed that this affected me mentally, I was less and less happy with the game and less happy with a lot of things overall, so when this hit "rock bottom" with High School Years I decided to stop being invested in it so much.
I often say this to myself these days: This is not my fight. I started playing the sims4 less, bought whatever I felt like, for example kits and didn't care too much about the business practice of them anymore.
So while I am not a fan of them having items that are only available during a limited time... my mental health goes first so I'm going to probably buy the pack within that time limit because I still enjoy playing the sims4 from time to time, it's nice to get three additional items and I can afford buying packs for full price.
