With the invention of the Sims Store for the release of The Sims 3, we wondered whether Stuff Packs had gone by the wayside. In short, it expands the Buy and Build Mode catalogues. These Stuff Packs contain no new gameplay, but come with dozens of new décor options and objects for your Sims to interact with. In addition to releasing expansion packs every six months, EA released 'Stuff Packs' to fill in the gaps of the year with no new content. For those of you somewhat new to the series, Electronic Arts started a new trend with The Sims 2 over the last few years.
