MFP stuff trailer disappearance

Ironseagull pointed out today the trailer is gone from youtube. All others remained. And he brought up that dlc for dlc isnt compatible with console versions of the game so does this mean ea is gonna pull a patio stuff and promo it now? What's everyone's thoughts or theories?
  • As a Simguru mentioned before consoles do not support selling dlc for dlc, which is btw a major oversight by Maxis here, EA must not be happy. But they also said they plan on bringing it to consoles this year and have "a plan", which suggests they will have to do an overhaul of this pack.

    Here's my theory on how that could work: adding the items which require Cats and Dogs (pet beds, clothes...) to the Cats and Dogs EP, those who already own it would receive it in a free patch and do an overhaul of the existing MFP stuff pack, adding new items to make it worth 10$. Those who own that pack would also receive these new items in a patch. That way the two packs would be completely separate and they could release it for console without a problem.

    They probably removed the previous trailer as it would no longer fit the new version of the pack.

    Most likely it has something to do with the console release.

    I think they did away with the requirement, which is a plum move imo for the people who had to purchase both on the PC.


    Its only available if you have C&D on Xbox and PS4 so you have to have both, just now C&D is a requirement to own it, it's not free

    If you do not own the expansion then this stuff pack is essentially free. The bundle is listed at $39.99 (same price as just the EP alone) and comes with the EP and the stuff pack. It only costs you that extra $10 if you already spent the $40 and are now upgrading to the bundle. I’m not mad about that since I had to plans on getting it, but I think it’s an interesting way to release this pack.
  • Dang I just said "plum it" and dropped $10 (that I was given) for this pack, hopefully it doesn't wind up being a mistake.

    I mean, they're doing weekly 50% off sales on Stuff Packs right now. So it could go on sale this week, or in the next couple of weeks.

    Well I already bought it so it would make no difference now.
