The game is a bummer I have never seen a pack go on sale so fast must be a real dud.

Not necessarily. I believe Cats and Dogs and City Living went on sale quickly (my memory could be mistaken, it could be different EPs) but most of those have done pretty well. Just like how everyone around here assumed My First Pet flopped but it turned out to be a bestseller.

You just never really know.

Where do people get sale numbers from?

Sometimes SimGuru Lyndsay and Grant share general info, usually on Twitter. They don't give us exact sales numbers, but they will offer some insight. Lyndsay gave us a ranking list once on most played packs in their first year of release. The only ones I remember exactly was that Parenthood and Vampires were at the top of Game Packs.

To be honest though, I thought it was a strange way to word it. "Most played in it's first year of release". That still doesn't exactly say how the actual sales were. Tricky.

That makes it a bestseller? “Most played in Y1” is a figure that is wildly different for every single DLC (since sales are not consistent for every single pack, every one would have to be calculated separately) and then making a ranking list out of that data is nothing short of misleading.
