I always was a fan of the store concept. The way I see it is this: Packs give the player who wants everything in them a discount, which is great, of course. But what if I want only half of the content? I'd rather pay for exactly what I want only, even that mathematically makes each item a little overprized.
For example I bought Bust the Dust for five Euro. Had it been an SP, it would have cost ten, so I'd lost five euro, that could have went towards a pizza. I'd rather have the hoovers and the pizza than the hoovers and furniture/clothes for my sims.
Money worries aside, the treehouse, baby carrier and childrens' bikes from GrT would have been an instant buy from me. But I don't want the rest of the gameplay, as many of the new feature clash with my playstyle.
