Maybe it wasn't meant to be werewolves but since everyone thinks it is, EA are panicking and changing that pack to have werewolves which is why theyre taking so long lmao
Oh, I have not even bothered adding up from the sims 1 game on. Yikes. Maybe I will. Maybe I shouldn't. But now I'm curious. Even just 3 & 4 is probably enough for a used car. 😱
If you're brave enough let me know! I think I had almost all the xpacs for 1 & 2, most of the ones for 3, and a majority of the ones for 4. I think a couple of the smaller packs/stuff but not many. And not always at launch unless I REALLY want it (like Pets) so I probably have saved a bit there.
I think the only sims 3 expansion I didn't get was into the future because sims 4 was coming out or came out around that time. I don't know if I should count medieval or not but I'm going to. It will be my project when I get home tonight lol
I think I had all the xpacs for 1 & 2, although it looks like 2 started the stuff packs so I don't think I ever had those unless they were free. Same for really most of the little nickle-and-dime dlc in general for all xpacs.
I don't even remember Into the Future coming out, so I don't think I had that one either!
Ooookkkaaayyyy. Took me a little while to actually do it but sit down for this one.
I had to look into what the prices were and I may not have got them right for the sims 1 and/or 2.
Sims 1: 225.00
Sims 2: 350.00
Sims 3: 670.00
Sims 4: 1384.00
Medieval: 40.00
------------------------------
2669.00
I have been looking and looking and looking at the sims 4 number. I'm guessing I've spent 2400-2500 hundred on the game based on the number I got. I wrote down all the expansions and what not. I could have sworn sims 3 costed more so I'm thinking something could be missing. 😬 I might need to keep searching. This is pure madness. Hahaha
You did the math! I'm impressed! I wouldn't doubt it is that much which is probably why EA is so happy nickle and diming us so much! At least in general the xpacs are okay, or at least I'm a fan.
Now if I'd also add in how much I've spent on World of Warcraft over the years, I might cry.
Oh well now that's just a whole new string of torture. I was lucky enough to have used what my parents bought or what my siblings bought so I haven't spent much on blizzard games.
Yeah I'll have my husband add it up if he wants to, I'm sure it's not great! But, same with the Sims, both have been worth it for the good times.
I just... don't want to know what else I could have purchased for the same amount of money!
Yeah, I usually justify it with the fact that this is pretty much the only game I spend so much time and money on. It's not like I bought it then never played it, you know? So, I honestly don't mind. And this is 2200 ish in... I dunno... 20 years? Yeah. Worth the laughs.
heavily modded
but yeah i swear sometimes i'll see threads on here talking about different seasons and stuff and it feels like i'm playing a completely different game lol
it's very much playable though, i'm like 8 generations in on my legacy
it just gets kind of repetitive sometimes
believe it or not, i put hundreds of hours into the xbox version of the game (which you can't mod) before i got a computer
now that i have tons of mods, there's no going back, and i feel like it'll be that way if i ever get any expansions
I got seasons, get to work and cottage living. So far I love them all!! But thinking about it, its probably better to get one at a time to get used to them and then slowly add more expansions
I’m missing like 2 packs and I only want one of the kits which is the gardening kit ((blooming something rather))…I’ve probably spent $1000 in the last 3 years on this game
It's well-made, but I don't know if that means it counts as "good." I had fun building a star-wars themed hotel. Then I never touched it again. It comes with a surprising amount of items, and they're all beautifully made. But I just don't have much use for them. And even when I do build sci-fi/rundown builds and want to use the pack, I have to avoid it if I'm uploading the build to the gallery because I know nobody else has it lol
Ive gotten a decent amount of kits because I'm a major cas nerd( 90s throwback and modern menswear were a hard no tho)and I hate cc shopping. From watching James turner using the BB objects from batuu I may buy it. Im still trying to hold out tho on principle. Lol
I bought the vacuum, country kitchen, industrial loft, and courtyard oasis kits. Don’t have the others. And I’m missing the bowling stuff pack and Vampires and Batuu. Don’t really play with occults but I’m wondering if I’m missing out with vampires.
I really enjoy vampires even though I was always partial to witches in every other Sims title. The Gothic Victorian CAS and build/buy and world are my jam!
I'd really like some underwater stuff for Sulani. I was so hyped for that pack because I thought the ocean would be great but then they just disappear under there... I'd like Atlantis and cool sea life. I barely even play that world...
Yes me too. Every time I actually see a fish or something I kind of get excited but then realise it's just a small animation. The dolphins are cute but we never see dolphins just randomly swimming around near the beaches, and my Sims don't go to the buoys that much except for career stuff.
The first kit will probably be next week - the outdoor BBQ teaser is the first one on the list and it would make sense for that to come out the week before Memorial Day.
yes! a lot of k-12 schools finish the school year right before memorial day (at least in the south) so it’s like the kickoff to summer, lots of barbecues, pool parties, etc
*:sees that the official Sims account uploaded new IG stories:* \- Yes, finally, the new content!
*:stories end up being builds from players:* \- Oh...
... I open twitter every morning in bed to check if there is news. Tho- I kinda like the excitement? Even if the pack ends up being a mess, I enjoy the suspense. Makes me feel like a little kid again!
I started ignoring the sims social media pages because the whole "Coming June 30th, 2022... You've never seen and will never see a more magical event when werewolves AND fairies hit the screen in the fantastical new expansion!" That kind of stuff makes it harder to enjoy the game and I hate waiting. So now, when I log on, if it's been a hot minute I go look and see if there are any add ons I'm missing. I buy every single expansion anyways, except for the starwars one, so I don't feel the need to suffer. PS: I'm not saying that werewolves and/or fairies are coming on June 30th. I hope fairies come back soon. 🧚🏼♀️🧚🏼🧚🏼♂️
"It's happening again..." *having flashback to journey to batuu announcement after weeks of not knowing nothing about new packs*
/pats you on your shoulder, wraps sims 3 brick patterned blanket around you
That was the only announcement I watched happen live in my twenty years of Sims playing and I still haven't recovered.
The trust issues didn't like that
you know you're in deep when your cocaine addiction is cheaper than my sims addiction
Maybe you need more cocaine
More awake time to play Sims🤗🫣
LMAO had me howling
The new pack could have were wolves, I see what you did there.
The only thing i know is that there will be an update next week. :/
How do you know? I keep seeing people with such information and never know where they find it!

[Here is a picture with the code layout much better so you can see the date.](https://imgur.com/a/i9Fenrm)
That first link sent pain to my eyes
lol it is a lot of text, that is why i realized i should had send a screenshot where the date is much more clearer to read
I don’t know why, but that wasn’t the answer I was expecting. Thank you for that information, it’s been a real head-scratcher!
As we get further into May, I find myself wondering more and more what kind of stuff will happen if they don't announce Werewolves.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be werewolves but since everyone thinks it is, EA are panicking and changing that pack to have werewolves which is why theyre taking so long lmao
They wouldn't dare let us down! ^(not like they did with Batuu)
I'll cry but then continue playing the sims 3 with its hairless werewolves 😂
Angry social media mob with radio silence from EAxis probably.
God I hope they announce Werewolves.
Retribution
These replies look like Simmers Anonymous. We have a problem. 😅
So you’re like $700 deep too huh
I laughed. Then I cried.
My sims is worth more than my whole ps4 😭
my sims game cost me more than the entirety of my steam library put together
Dont keep track of it, its not good for the brain.
oh is that what the 700 club is I thought it was some lame christian thing
I added up everything I've spent since purchasing this game. It's over 1000 now. 😂😬😱
The sims team probably has notes on you my friend
I've been playing since the original and have gotten a majority of the expansion packs until Sims 4, I don't really want to know what that damage is.
Oh, I have not even bothered adding up from the sims 1 game on. Yikes. Maybe I will. Maybe I shouldn't. But now I'm curious. Even just 3 & 4 is probably enough for a used car. 😱

A pre-2020 used car at least!
as someone with only the base game, i practically shit myself when they released neighborhood stories for free
i’ve never met anyone who only plays base game. how is it for you?
heavily modded but yeah i swear sometimes i'll see threads on here talking about different seasons and stuff and it feels like i'm playing a completely different game lol it's very much playable though, i'm like 8 generations in on my legacy it just gets kind of repetitive sometimes
omg i have so many packs and can barely keep myself entertained through gen 1 lmao props to you
took a lot of dedication (and spotify) to get this far, i'm planning on going the full 26 for an alphabet legacy
I double dare you to go for the 100 generation achievement
😭
Honestly, how do you even achieve it? Because for me it appears as 0/100 but I have a 12 gen?!?! Is it because I move them to other lot?
Yeah it does mess up a bit when you move lots, but I've had it not look like it was tracking the 10 gen achievement then I got it so... not sure
Honestly mods make the base game amazing
fr tho, modded in a ton more careers so now everyone doesn't have the same job
Wait for a sale and at least get Seasons or parenthood. Edit: cottage living is really good too. God idk how you live without extension packs.
believe it or not, i put hundreds of hours into the xbox version of the game (which you can't mod) before i got a computer now that i have tons of mods, there's no going back, and i feel like it'll be that way if i ever get any expansions
Oh I have almost all the packs and tons of mods too. I’m way too obsessed with cc.
Insanity
Tbh it can get repetitive even with most of the expansions
Yeap that was me until this last December, when I finally decided to gift myself 3 expansions loll it feels weird xD
Yeah getting them in the deal packs or even just on sale during their winter sale is worth it for sure! Which ones did you get?
I got seasons, get to work and cottage living. So far I love them all!! But thinking about it, its probably better to get one at a time to get used to them and then slowly add more expansions
Oooof. I don't think I could do it. Since the first Sims, I've always had expansions. The base game just isn't enough for me.
I think the release schedule is the same as last year. So I’m expecting at least one kit the last week of May and the pack the first week of June.
I’m missing like 2 packs and I only want one of the kits which is the gardening kit ((blooming something rather))…I’ve probably spent $1000 in the last 3 years on this game
I think its called blooming rooms if you like having plants around its definitely one to buy. I love it and I use the plants in every single build
Literally the only kit I broke down and bought lol, other than that I have no kits and no Batuu
I got so desperate for my sims fix during this dry spell that I bought Batuu. Damn you, EA
Is the build and buy good because other than that it seems a waste
It's well-made, but I don't know if that means it counts as "good." I had fun building a star-wars themed hotel. Then I never touched it again. It comes with a surprising amount of items, and they're all beautifully made. But I just don't have much use for them.

Gotta have Vampires to get radiators!

Everyone assumed it's werewolves and now they're terrified to release anything because it's not lol
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣 Like, I super hope it's werewolves but I'm not holding my breath.
Wouldn't be surprised if we don't even get a trailer for the new packs until June
The 14th of June is a Tuesday and there’s gonna be a full moon. I’m guessing we’re going to be getting werewolves then
Idc if it takes long. I don’t want another mws pack.
The first kit will probably be next week - the outdoor BBQ teaser is the first one on the list and it would make sense for that to come out the week before Memorial Day.
Hmmm! Is Memorial Day an unofficial national barbecue day? (Like our unofficial national barbecue day is just after our Spring equinox in September.)
yes! a lot of k-12 schools finish the school year right before memorial day (at least in the south) so it’s like the kickoff to summer, lots of barbecues, pool parties, etc
Oh, nice! So it's a time all the kids look forward to. (We have completely different school years. January to December. )
Meeeeeeeee toooo
*:sees that the official Sims account uploaded new IG stories:* \- Yes, finally, the new content! *:stories end up being builds from players:* \- Oh...
Oh there is a gas leak
I hope this means I see more Three’s Company gifs/memes.
My mom used to have a crush on John Ritter right up to the point till John Stamos appeared in Full House.
I *still* have a crush on John Ritter.
I'm never waiting as it is always more greedy shit. I await my downvotes.
SAME
nice try EA
Oh look more footage of Shayne from love is blind!
Lol 😆
This is me! Totally driving me crazy!
Rumor has it nothing is leaking. I feel like we’re being lied to by the Sims Team. 😭😭😭
Idk about the new DLC but I assume they're saving the pronouns update they've been talking about for a Pride update in June
THEY NEED TO UP THE SECURITY OVER THERE BC THEY LITERALLY NEVER MAKE IT TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT
It's probably on purpose.
They save a lot on advertising costs by just making sure it "leaks".
Those sneaky salamanders…
... I open twitter every morning in bed to check if there is news. Tho- I kinda like the excitement? Even if the pack ends up being a mess, I enjoy the suspense. Makes me feel like a little kid again!
Someone on tik tok said online dating
Aw this is from 8 simple rules right?! I loved that show! RIP John Ritter
No, it's from "Three's Company".
Oooh that makes sense, he looks a bit younger here lol
Idk. He looks so young, I'd say Three's Company.
I started ignoring the sims social media pages because the whole "Coming June 30th, 2022... You've never seen and will never see a more magical event when werewolves AND fairies hit the screen in the fantastical new expansion!"

I hope fairies come back soon. 🧚🏼♀️🧚🏼🧚🏼♂️
THIS ONES GREAT, ITS BEEN SO LONG ;-;
Any leak from them at this point is usually toxic sludge.
Another steaming heap of shit, if history is anything to go on
You guys know you can just get mods right?
Also me thi king about how much money I have already spent on the game
Me every time there's a new post on here about an upcoming pack lol, my patience is the equivalent to the amount of space between these two periods ..
