At this point of tike there is 14 stuff packs, each cost 10$ that would 140$ for stuff packs compilation and you would hardly get enough content to expand on the base game and keep you interested for ...
Stuff packs aren't cheap I agree when you add up the cost. £140 for stuff packs alone and that's not including the base game, game packs or expansions. The game will be the most expensive by time it's done.
I mean I know you don't have to buy it all. My niece has just srsrted to become interested in the sims 4. My sister is hoping she sticks to enjoying the sims 3 as the amount of dlc to a newcomer she finds overwhelming.
