$10 for 1000 Points
$20 for 2040 Points
$40 for 5000 Points
1000 SimPoints is $6.99 USD.

The rest is
BASIC MATH:
Standard: 2450 SimPoints = ($6.99 USD / 1000) * 2450 = $17.125 USD
Gold: 3524 SimPoints = ($6.99 USD / 1000) * 3524 = $ 24.6327 USD.
This is the cost of the world in US dollars.
If you have localized prices, it may be different. But this is the information I have access to. I can't know the price in EVERY country/state/city in the world.

StrangerVille, at $20, which is what the company charged during Sims 3's reign for a Stuff Pack, is by far the better deal.
The quality of Stuff Packs for The Sims 3 was day/night compared to the quality of Stuff Packs for The Sims 4. The Sims 4 offers one or two gameplay object, many of which would've been in a larger EP, but
most assets have a VERY LOW graphic quality.
For example, this chair from
Cool Kitchen has 110 faces. In contrast, a chair from Outdoor Living has 952 faces.

And if you think I'm being unfair by picking that particular chair, here's a list of some chairs from other TS4 SPs:
- Wicker Whims Dining Chair: 503 faces.
- Formerly Folding Chair: 616 faces.
- My First Desk Chair: 666 faces.
- Nya Desk Chair: 490 faces.
Average: 568 faces.
Vs. Chairs from The Sims 3 Stuff Packs:
- Chair Dining Rock (70s, 80s, 90s): 784 faces.
- Chair Dining Movies Curved (Movie Stuff): 950 faces.
- Chair Dining Decades Wedge (70s, 80s, 90s): 954 faces.
- Chair Dining Movies Curl (Movie Stuff): 512 faces.
Average: 800 faces.
Not to mention the fact that almost EVERY object for The Sims 3 was FULLY recolarable (Create-A-Style-able), which requires a special UV map, a baked multiplier, a carefully crafted mask and overlays, etc. Much more work than making a simple color swatch. And let's not even talk about the fact that a huge number of objects in TS4 SPs are deco only. That's a discussion for another day.
You're getting what you're paying for. You pay $10, you get non-recolarable lower quality assets with a gameplay object that would've been in an expansion or even the base game in the past.
