I was bored, so I did this Excel and was curious if the Sims 4 did last until 2020, how much would it cost from initial release in 2014 to 2016. Anyways enjoy and figure it would help Simmers to know how much they have to save for if paying full retail prices for packs. Generally the pattern for pack releases have been 1 EP, 2 GPs, and 4 SPs per fiscal year but this fiscal year was the exception of 5 SPs, so graph reflects that variable.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/264351926156525568/408792111949938699/Sims_4_6_year_estimate.jpgPretty cool visual I found on reddit, source: https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/8wwjmx/the_cost_of_the_sims_4_and_all_of_its_dlc/https://i.redd.it/djflsitehl811.jpgIt is missing Get Famous, so the most rounded estimate so far is $550.

Good thing I only buy packs on sale, unless I’m feeling spontaneous.

It’s the digital deluxe version (on disc) bundled with a creators booklet. I own this version. The book was neat, but it’s mostly concept art and little bits of info about the base game.

Me too. I only bought the ones I like on release. Although recently I do like the things they have to offer

This is the British Pound price but the Pound goes up and down a lot:

£573.52

It will be even higher in Canada since the packs all increased in price by 30%. Very expensive! But I do tend to wait for sales now at least
