Will we ever see Strangerville in a bundle with 2 SPs?

In the past a bundle with 1 GP and 2 SPs was released shortly after the last necessary pack became available. That would usually be 1-1.5 months later but it has been 4 months now and Strangerville has not been bundled yet, despite Laundry Day & My First Pet stuff being available to bundle. I'm hoping to see the bundle come out soon as I see it as a complete waste of money to buy the packs separately.

Do you think they stopped the 2 + 1 bundles, just don't want to put any of the three into a bundle or they are just taking their time?

    I don't know, I think Strangerville is like Katy Perry Sweet Stuff pack, I think Origin will finally stop offering it like after awhile you couldn't even find the SweetStuff pack on there, they discontinued it. But it was like a year or so later.


    I kind of doubt it. Didn’t they stop selling the Katy Perry stuff pack because she wanted to change her image or something?

    Any news about the bundle?

    I only buy EPs as a retail version (I want the cas eon my shelf!), so I can't even do "Build a Bundle", plus it's a lot more expensive anyway.

    My First Pet Stuff is a failure, the sales are very disappointing.
    EA isn't hurry to bring it to console.


    What? What gives you that idea? SimGuruGrant said My First Pet sold well, and SimGuruLyndsay’s pack rankings showed that My First Pet was one of the best selling stuff packs.

    The reason they haven’t brought it to consoles, according to SimGuruLegacy, is that it’s technically DLC for DLC.

    Isn't that reason why it didn't sell well in the first place? I remember the uproar behind it. I honestly don't believe it when the devs stated that it sold well. If it did, they would have continued that sleazy selling gimmick of DLC for DLC in future packs.

    I did read an article on it from Sims Community saying that it is the least popular and will be one of the last to be released to console:


    SPA DAY AND MY FIRST PET STUFF ARE OFFICIALLY THE LEAST POPULAR PACKS IN THE SIMS 4 SERIES


    It also says that Spa Day is also one the least popular packs but I know a lot of simmers love the BB stuff from it. Not sure why it wouldn't be popular? I'm thinking that if a person buys the Spa Day stuff, they'll think, "Oh, might as well get the MFPS pack as well...."



    It DID sell well. Some people hated My First Pet, so they desperately want this pack to sell badly to to prove their point (that the pack is bad). They created the false narrative in their head that My First Pet didn’t sell purely through wishful thinking, with no facts backing up them up. Sims Community’s speculation was completely wrong, as My First Pet still not being on consoles had nothing to do with its popularity, proven by the fact it’s one of the most popular stuff packs on Lyndsay’s list.

    The online uproar meant absolutely nothing, as the vast majority of Sims players do not participate the online discussion of the game in any way whatsoever. Even if every one of those who whined and cried about the My First Pet on the Internet refused to buy the pack, it would still have a negligible impact on its sales.

    My First Pet selling well despite of the uproar is precisely why EA should not listen to whoever shout the loudest on forums and social media - as they’re nothing more than a vocal minority. Their opinions absolutely do not represent the entire player base of 10+ million people.
