I know they talked about upcoming expansions, but it didn't seem like they addressed any potential stuff packs? or their absence in general. Unless they subtly did & I just didn't pay attention.

There was no mention of stuff packs.

It's not just you. Am supposing they have been abandoned in favour of kits.

Yeah idk I don't really care tbh many of the stuff packs just felt off to me before knitting and paranormal anywayI'm not gonna be begging or even asking to bring them back I'll just be pleasantly surprised if they do make new stuff pack thats actually on same tier with those twoanything less and its but disappointment and potential annoyance if it includes something i do want despite being otherwise disappointingat least with kits its often throughly disappointing so i have no reason to be particularily annoyedI desperately hope that since they are not making stuff packs they put that energy on bigger pack gameplay to just add all the possible gameplay in the bigger packs as they should have done until nowonly if the gameplay needs tons of related items (like crafts) i could see it as stuff pack thing but no more cool kitchens or luxury party stuffs pls

Unfortunately no mention of stuff packs. It feels as if the kits have indeed replaced stuff packs. they even use the same internal code so maybe this was the plan from the get go. It is a shame because stuff packs were able to actually add something more to the game than just pretty looking objects/clothing. Stuff packs had content, kits are just filler. The only exception is bust the dust but that didn't go smoothly and the gameplay kits seem to be dead and buried along with stuff packs.Please Sims team, prove me wrong and give us new stuff packs. The later ones were really good (especially laundry day, tiny living, nifty knitting and paranormal)

Is it just me... or did they still not address the absence of stuff packs in this last summit?

I think it's more like, "Guess you don't know what you got 'til it's replaced with something much worse."

I really miss stuff packs ?.

I had a dream where Sims 3 stuff packs were going to be done for Sims 4.

Why not play the sims 3 instead? Sims 3 is a much better game than Sims 4.

me when kits were released: no guys I don't think kits are going to release stuff packs they said it wouldn't

I admit! I was wrong! EA where are our stuff packs. They literally dropped Paranormal and dipped, gave us the best stuff pack we've ever had with no warning it'd be the last. It wouldn't be so bad if they released any gameplay kits but no.

If we don't get a stuff pack next year, it'll be our...third year of no stuff packs? Second? If so in 2023 they just need to announce their end and be done with it.

they don't have to code new mechanics for 5 dollars/euros nor need to make a promo trailer and the community will buy it regardless so in the end they win. For it's value it's less work and more money. I don't believe they will bring them back

Well Stuff packs really got better and better as time went on and the last one, Paranormal stuff, is one of the best liked packs of the entire catalogue of packs, so it's not surprising people want them back.

Or Gamepacks either for that matter. That concerns me.

My theory on Stuff Packs is they've stopped making them for now and have no plans to start making them again, but aren't willing to completely close the door on going back to the concept. They want that to be an option, in case someone one comes up with a hot idea for it.

As for game play kits, I feel that door really has been closed. Moving Bust the Dust to the build category was the signal.

I do play Sims 3 ??.

It’s just a longer loading screen and very buggy. I’m looking into some mods to improve game performance.

I so totally disagree. I preferred Sims 2 over 3 any day of the week. I still prefer Sims4 over both earlier iterations. Once I found a mod so I could have a singer Sim back I was over the moon.

I LOVE Paranormal Stuff! It's pretty much a game pack for half the price! Worth every penny.

I personally think what it comes down to is the last stuff pack they did had so much content and new activities/programming that it was almost to the level of a game pack, and perhaps they feel they can't keep up with that level of a stuff pack (sends the wrong expectation), so they moved on to more kits instead. I could be completely wrong, but to me it makes sense since stuff packs were getting better and better for the small price tag and then they just stopped.
