What price would you consider fair for the upcoming kits?

Indeed.

Since they are $5 I was expecting the UK price to be the equivalent, at around £3.50. But, nope, £5. That is overpriced for what they are.

I think I am going to wait and see. Possibly buy the dust bust one since it supposedly has new aspirations and gameplay. But where is all the official info? I don't see anything from EA saying about the aspirations etc.

Edit: I see now they are doing something on Twitch in 5 mins... gonna tune in and see what they have to say for themselves.

Yeah i'm also waiting for more info, at least some reviews on the dust system and the aspirations. Bb and cas i think i'll pass this time... I'ld also love to know more about how often will new kits be released...

They are costing £4.99 in the UK. They don't need to use that 99p as they don't need to open the shop till any more these days. It's just a ploy to make them seem cheaper. After buying all the packs to date I won't be buying any of these. This is the first time I believe we are getting real micro transactions in the game.

One kit costs half of what a stuff pack costs for us here in Sweden, 10% less with EA Play discount.

So the general impression that I am getting is that they took and divided a stuff pack into three kits and now we are paying more for a stuff pack.

SimGuruNinja is going on Twitch at 7pm UK time in a couple of minutes.

Alright. I just saw that the kits are indeed $5, which although I do find a bit overpriced, I was expecting.

Maybe it's just because I'm not super interested in these themes?

They should defintely do something about fixing the conversion rate though. :P

The kits are 4.99 as expected. I bought Bust the Dust.

It sounds a lot like the Sims 3 store. I have lots of stuff from the Sims 3 store. I didn't buy any of it with money, though. I watched ads. I watched lots and lots of ads for free store points. That said, if these kit packs can be purchased with free points from ads, I'm all for it.

Same... You know they should have just made a Sims 4 store instead of making more pack types.

I would say they are worth $3.33 as the three kits combined seem like one stuff pack. Not surprised they're charging more though...

I wonder if kits will be included in build a bundle or anything, I'd be potentially interested in that. Otherwise I'll just wait for a sale. I never buy anything at full price nowadays anyway, sales are so frequent I may as well wait.

Now that I've seen the live stream, according to these three specific packs, I'd say the worth is approximately (and I'm trying to be realistic):

CAS Fitness Kit Pack: $2.99
Country Kitchen Kit Pack: $3.99 - $4.99
Dust Busting Kit Pack: $4.99 - $5.99

But pack worth will most likely vary with play style. I like gameplay and CAS the most in general, though I like to have a variety of build/buy to suit my Sims' environment. The only one I'm considering purchasing is the Kitchen one, but I think the best value is the gameplay one and the worst value is the CAS one.
