Sims Summer Sale

I am only missing 2 EPs HSY and DU, but I don't really play teens or care about uni. I am worried if I get these the features/gameplay would be intrusive. I am also missing MWS, DHD and Parenthood not sure if I want these ever. Missing a bunch of SP too not sure if I have interest in what I am missing.

Definitely tricky at this stage, will the packs I am missing help or hinder my game at this point.

I can't think of anything in DU that naturally effects the game. It's a very self-contained.

HSY the event notification and Social bunny notifications can feel intrusive. 

I really want EBN but I'm waiting for 50% off. It's taking quite a while though. 

University is super passive. Nearly all the game play is when you go to school and there is almost no crossover into the rest of the game beyond the boost a degree gives to job progression. I personally find college game play overly repetitive and too long to complete so I only do it occasionally for story reasons and ignore it with the majority of my sims.

HSY will bombard you with calendar notices, but you aren't actually obligated to follow the kids to school and can let them go alone. I only follow select sims to high school for specific gameplay reasons and even then its not every day. It is definitely not as easy to ignore as university though.

As far as I know MWS game play has never been fixed. I never really played weddings in the first place, and the cas/build isn't that interesting to me so I'm passing on that pack.

I have always ignored the Dream Home Decorator career entirely. I personally really like the build style and how it looks in game, so I have gotten an absurd amount of use out of the items from this pack. Easy choice here: you either like the furniture or you don't.

Parenthood gives kids a lot more purpose in the game and there is quite a bit of gameplay to go with it. Honestly to me if someone plays with kids this pack is a required add on and is more important than Growing Together. That said, off the top of my head I can't think of anything that affects adult sims outside of their interactions with children.

Just a reminder that using your favorite Creator's code (mine is Simgirl1010) gives you a 5% discount in addition to sale prices. 

Wow, I never knew that. How long has this been a thing? Can I apply it if I already have EA Play's 10% discount?

I am once again asking for a 50% off sale on Stuff Packs. I know I keep asking, but iI think t's been about five years they stopped doing it.

The Support A Creator (SAC) 5% purchase discount was initially offered as a promotion in January 2025 then during most sales throughout the year. It became a permanent perk for players in early 2026.

I'll check to see if it is valid with the EA Play 10% discount.

GamerBogman​ I've checked with one of the the support team members and the 5% player discount is not eligible with the EA Play discount.

Oh, for a second I thought the new patch would make it worth it to get HSY but it seems to not be included for event/calendar prom spam? X /

Thank you simgirl1010​, I will definitively use the feature anyway to help you creators, with or without discount.
