No. I REFUSE to purchase "Moola." If the packs requires that instead of real world currency it means I will not purchase anything whatsoever. I refuse to buy kits for this alone, so if it was also done to stuff, game, amd expansion packs, that would mean I wouldn't purchase the dlc anymore.

I said as another payment option. Not a replacement payment option.

NocturnalSyren, Moola is just in-game currency. In-game currency is widely considered a predatory monetization tactic. By using virtual coins or gems, games obscure real-world costs, encouraging overspending and impulse purchases. These systems often employ manipulative designs, such as uneven bundle pricing, to leave players with leftover, unusable currency and create psychological barriers to stopping.
This is why your suggestion would not do as you believe. It would actually cause a negative impact on those who are nerodiveginent. I say that as a fellow neuro-spicy individual.

Had they left the option to use real currency to buy kits, the sales of such would probably be higher. I won't use fake currency; I did that with Sims 3, and it was never an exact amount. Then you feel pressure to use what you still have, but it never ends because it doesn't match. I went down that rabbit hole in Sims 3. I have gotten smarter since then and will not engage. If I can find other sites that offer the kits for actual money, I will do that; otherwise, what I have is what I will continue to have. I will never buy anything from the Marketplace.
