The new dlc type known as kits are as expected a litte overpriced. They are basically a stuff pack divide in three categories (Gameplay, Build/buy and Cas). A Stuff pack usually costs an equivalent of 10 US dollars and the kits cost 5? Getting the three packs is like getting a Stuff pack but it costs 15 US dollars... The packs should be at leas 3 dollars!Also, people used to complain about TS3 store because it was overpriced (I agree) but it turns out that as any other pack type in TS3 it has more content! Lets compare two kitchen sets:https://i.imgur.com/R33fE9K.jpg VS https://i.imgur.com/0of3AfN.jpgSo, we can see that the price is the same (TS3 is converted in simpoints) and TS3 offers more content. While in TS4 we only get a stove and fridge (objects with gameplay interactions), in TS3 we get a coffee machine, dishwasher, microwave and a food processor in addition to the stove and the fridge.Do to TS3 "nature" we are not stucked with 6-10 swatches like in TS4.In conlusion, the KITS may be a nice idea but it is overpriced and by that I'm a little bit disappointed!

We cannot expect anything less from EA,I have not seen anything in the kits I want to spend £5 ( UK price) on.

Bb and cas kits are overpriced. I won't be buying any, as long as it doesn't fit a theme i really really want. Gameplay kits, as long as they keep adding as much gameplay as the dust one does, feel like a fair price imo.

I disagree. When they were first announced I said to myself "if they charge anything more than 5 dollars for them we've got a problem." Guess what, they were released as roughly 5 dollars (4.99 for me) so I was very pleased! The kit I bought was the bust the dust one, and not only does it add a handful of objects to the game but, for me at least, a LOT of gameplay. I payed not just for the objects, but the gameplay as well. I'm very happy with the price.

I feel like with both kits and TS3 Store, these kinds of things are only meant for those who want them. So if you don’t think they’re for you, let this who want them enjoy them. Personally, I think you can find Mods and CC that look better and offer more gameplay that the things in these packs. But to each their own.

I kinda agree and disagree at the same time :lol:. In The Sims 4 each cabinet, counter and island has like 8 variants while in The Sims 3 they were separate objects...I think the Store is worse but the Kits are still overpriced to me. :neutral:

So... KITS are OVERPRICED! | EA Forums

You had to use Bayside as an example I'd gladly pay 3 times the Kit price for a Bayside set - per room! :D

THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE PRICE...5 dollars is a rob.

Just to give an idea on the price, if we're to use The Sims 4 pricing as an example, as opposed to Sims 3. For (currently) 15$USD you get : Some CAS (23 items, some of which are reskins, yet again) ; Some Build Item (20, if we're to count the Dust Stuff and Kitchen Stuff in 1); Some gameplay (One, the dust stuff)...Oh, so like those 10$USD Stuff Packs that already exist?? They've also been doing a better job at making the stuff packs feel packed and alive.

If we take for instance the latest stuff pack, Paranormal, we have : 32 CAS Item, some of which are repeats because adults to kids reskin, etc. 40 Build Mode items, and a pretty big gameplay feature (haunted house, in relation to hauntings, in relation to a new job) All that for 10$USD.

How is 5$USD worth it? For 15$USD, currently, I literally get less out of everything than a Stuff Pack. The idea of being able to pick and choose what you want is really, really nice, I'm not saying it isn't but jfc that is not something that should cost more than the previously cheaper option.

While the kits may be overpriced, I think in this instance, we are getting about the same amount of items. Someone who has the kit, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there more counter and cabinet pieces that are available when you open the items in build/buy whereas in the TS3 set, they have each one shown?

I can see why people say they're overpriced, but they have to make their money.. I think that the kits were a great idea and add some cool things to the game! A win in my book
