The point is, The Sims 3 store was indeed a terrible idea. I won't disagree with you on that. However, it was also a 100% optional feature for a game that was already filled with a lot of content. You didn't need anything from the store to make the game itself enjoyable. The Sims 4 simply isn't the same. It gets boring and repetitive way too quickly. The new content is what makes the game re-playable for most people. Packs are basically a must have for this specific game. Otherwise, it wouldn't have any replay value. Especially when it's possible to do almost everything in one generation of a family. That's how lacking the game is (even after almost 4 years of being released).
On that token though, if The Sims 4 didn't have Stuff Packs, do you feel like it would be a huge loss?
I feel like people say that Stuff Packs add meaningful game play, but I always feel they add these extra pieces where the fun wears off a few days of playing.
Don't get me wrong, there's stuff that I do use, but it's mostly house filler. I don't feel like anything a SP has added has been a huge gain. The only thing is probably the Butler.
Not having stuff packs would fundamentally change both of the other DLC’s.
I totally agree with you on SP’s adding gameplay that wears off quickly. Most of the stuff they add via stuff pack was supplemental content in prior games, where it wasn’t expected to necessarily hold its own against the larger packs.
