I get the packs as soon as I can - it is far from being easy for me - I have a lot of expenses - I have cancer. I try to win them when I can.

I know you do and I’m awfully sorry about that, I also understand why that makes things different for you. But in general I think you can’t expect people having to buy and play first (or watch Let’s Plays) to be able to tell what a pack contains. Like I said, I think pimping it up a bit is very understandable and we actually like to see that in trailers, but giving false or misleading information is something else.

When I say “that may not be a problem for you”, I’m not referring to what one can actually afford by the way. I rather mean it in a “you can only spend your money once and one will spend it on this, the other on that” way. I’m hardly rich myself (I’m a librarian, apparently they think we can survive on bread and water :p ), still I preordered all my Sims 3 packs because that was my hobby and it was worth it for me. I don’t spend my money on things other people pay for. We all make our own choices. Doesn’t mean the prices of those packs and stuff were acceptable though. It was worth it for me, but it still was insanely expensive objectively.

I was a librarian too @Joanne. Pays not bad when you get to the higher echelons and definitely worth it for the safe Local Gvt. pension when retired. (in the UK anyway)! "Like gold dust" I was told, high credit rating. I did the same as you for Sims 3 but don't pre-order for Sims 4.

I hang on to my money until the last moment these days, Origin take it too early. It's now my guilty pleasure hobby as really I'm too old for it but luckily I like Sims 4 and don't enjoy the others so much any more. It's just a personal choice, nothing to do with what is or isn't in the game.

I can see new pieces (as in jigsaw) coming into the game as I buy Sims 4 packs. All I want is better co-ordination, intermeshing of what we already have, some more depth. A cemetary and firestation (with firemen) would help too.

I just wish Simmers would not keep asking why one likes what and why all the time. It gets tiring. One just does. That is all.
