I’m not sure a game with twenty seven pieces of dlc should ever be praised for not being expensive.
And no before anyone comes at me, the sims 3 store was optional. You didn’t have to buy any of it and in many cases (mine) I got it all for free via EP registration and points.
Try playing sims 3 without stuff packs or game packs. You wouldn’t want to as the game would be boring. Right now the sims 4 without any sales is almost £500 and that figure will continue to rise.
And for what it’s worth I have games from previous generations. I found my sims 2 expansion that was 19.99, I have a sims 3 expansion with a 24.99 price tag on it.
Packs are also optional, or you can wait and get them on sale. I include purchasing packs as part of my general entertainment budget. Being an old lady, I don't go out drinking or to clubs anymore, so the money I'm not spending on alcoholic drinks and cover charges can go support my Sims habit. And being partially disabled (mild mobility issues, but enough that I use a cane and don't really like to go out without my husband to give me a hand when necessary) I spend a lot of time at home, so having The Sims is entertainment, and a chance to have something in my control in a world that feels out of my hands at times. And my husband supports my Sims habit because it keeps me quiet and happy most of the time -- he's not interested in playing himself but he likes to hear about my Simming adventures. B)
