If the next game pack is a theme you like and you like what you see in the official LiveStream when will you purchase the game?

I always buy right away if it’s something I’m interested in.....which for me isn’t sounding hopeful so far for the next pack. ?

Well I put the first month, but usually I wait for a sale. I am actually most curious about what new system might be in the next GP rather than just the aesthetic theme, and that will be a bigger influence for me.

I'd have to go beyond theme I want for reason to purchase because there have been a lot of packs with themes I really wanted but the game play and replayability was just there such as Island Living and Get to Work. So my vote would be more like I'm only buying the pack if I see replay value and not a pack designed around interacting with a few objects in a ugly predesigned world.

Presuming I like the pack, I have no problem buying day 1. Especially for a nice chunk of content like a GP. However, it takes more than just a good or bad theme to win or lose me.Case in point, EL. I do not really care about the theme of it, but I like the things I can do with it. It gives me features to mess around with all my worlds and really rounds out my off the grid play. I really like what EL offers even if the theme is lackluster. Further, C&D. I love pets, they are usually the best packs for me, but it is probably my least favorite pack in all of 4 because of how shallow pets are.So, yeah. Day 1 if I like the features and contributions. Otherwise, I'll sit on it unless my friends are liking it.

I find it impossible to answer before I knowing what a pack is about. If I like it as much as RoM and really really really want it, then I will buy it at full price the first day I can get into my game. But this might not necessarily be day one. Within a week or so, regardless of other people's reviews. But most packs I like, I buy at the first sale which is usually a couple of months later. I kind of miss that option in the poll. It is possible to wait for a sale even if I like the pack.

I'll just wait for something a little more Simlish.

Well, actually not until it's available to bundle, but that's the only reason I'd be waiting.

Eco Lifestyle is the only pack I’ve bought the first day so far, but I think I will be buying the next one on the first day if I like it.

Absolutely love the bb items of eco lifestyle. Even though it was on sale, I didn't buy it cuz it's still too buggy. I'm gonna wait until new game pack comes out so I can get them in a bundle.

Can you preorder game packs? It’s been a while since I’ve bought anything Sims dlc. I seem to recall preordering parenthood.

I will definitely going to buy it, if it's the theme that I want, but not on the first day. Not because I want to hear reviews. I don't need reviews if it's the game that I want & like, but more about my past experience when I bought the Seasons pack on the day of its released. I was charged 3 times because of the transaction failures. It was because of the transaction traffic was very high that could probably caused the issue. I've got the money back and I did bought it on my 3rd attempt.

If I like the theme and they do well on the livestream, I will go with Day 1. If it's something I'm only half interested in, I'll buy it whenever it goes on sale.

While I do find game changers interesting to watch in most cases, they never make my mind up for me but I will take into consideration what they say with their early access provided they aren't biased in some way (eg. Star Wars pack but known sci-fi hater).

After seeing the pack I am getting it ASAP. If not on Day 1, then definitely on the weekend right after. I'll deal with any bugs and hope for the best.

I cannot answer until I see what the pack actually is. But I very much doubt I would buy on the first day, or even in the first week. I would probably wait till I saw how it was going - I'm still holding off on EL because of the bugs.

And since I've got bills to pay, I'd try really hard to wait till it's on sale. I still have other packs I haven't started playing with (IL, Strangerville, and DU).
