The Sims 4 has been kept alive for more than a decade thanks to its healthy modding community, regular updates, and expansive collection of additional DLC. Maxis make a few different kinds of DLC which vary based on how much or what type of content is included, and how much it costs. Expansion Packs are the largest type of DLC you can buy for The Sims 4, while Kits are the smallest. Game Packs sit somewhere in the middle, usually introducing a super specific type of gameplay like a new occult Sim or a handful of small, closely related game mechanics.
What are Game Packs?
Game Packs add depth to The Sims 4 by either introducing altogether new mechanics or by expanding on pre-existing aspects of the series. For example, The Sims 4: Werewolves added a whole new type of Sim (Can you guess which one?) along with a new world, the moon phase system, and werewolf packs. Parenthood, on the other hand, improved massively on what Base Game had to offer when it comes to child rearing and personality development.
Another thing about Game Packs is that they’re cheaper than Expansions since they tend to have less stuff in them. This makes them handy for freshening up your saves without breaking the bank on loads of new content. They’re also a step up from Stuff Packs, which tend to focus on, well, stuff, instead of adding tonnes of new gameplay.
