We don't know when or if they will become available for bundling. They are regularly on sale. Last sale ended February 2nd so you just missed it.

Please only PM me when asked to do so. Questions and answers belong here so everyone can benefit from them.

Re: The Sims 4 Build-a-Bundle: Either Update OR Remove

@Kabuki_Empress

Curious, is anything stopping you from buying the packs you are after separately? Are they not available to buy individually? I know some people have had problems purchasing packs so wondered if you’re also experiencing issues with Origin/EA App.

to quote the person literally above you, z2crcq5xu4cc , "thanks.... i didnt miss the sale, its just not as good of a deal as building the bundle with packs im missing". 


And to quote myself, "Historically speaking, it didn't take longer than 1-3 months for packs to be available in the store's Build-a-Bundle feature. The sheer laziness on EA's part is depressing for those of us who are smart enough to realize that the Build-a-Bundle feature is the most cost effective way to buy the Sims franchise, as buying each one of the three required types of packs without a sale is $70 before tax, and even during your best sales, the most recently released packs (even if there are newer ones or are about to be newer ones or its been nearly a year) never get the same awesome discount the other packs get, and usually costs $10-$15 more than just using the Build-a-Bundle feature."

 

So, to answer your question, even with a sale it's almost always $10-15 cheaper than buying the packs individually. Some of us want to save money with how much they charge for all of this digital content that doesn't even require them making, printing a DVD or case to be shipped and sold around the world. My issues are not with the EA App. My issues are with the people in charge of EA or more specifically, The Sims 4 and it's Build-a-Bundle feature.

Ok, and you can’t just wait until it’s either on sale or included in a bundle?

Unable to "create your own bundle"

★★★★★ Novice

On PC, on the new EA app, when I try to "create your own bundle" of Sims 4 packs, some packs are missing. I do already own most packs, but I am trying to create a bundle with Highschool Years, My Wedding Stories or Werewolves, and Paranormal Stuff, none of which I currently own. When trying to create the bundle, the only options given are Journey to Batuu and Paranormal Stuff, with no options at all for expansion pack. I do not want Journey to Batuu, and even if I did, without an expansion pack I cannot complete the bundle anyway. The "create your own bundle" is also completely missing from the ea.com website, so trying there isn't an option. Can someone help me with this please?

Re: Unable to "create your own bundle"

@MermaidEmber You can't add high school years, my wedding stories, werewolves and growing together to the bundle system yet, and because you own all expansion packs that can be used to build one, the build a bundle feature won't work.

Thanks! Does anyone know why Highschool Years, My Wedding Stories, and Werewolves are ineligible?

@MermaidEmber There's no date for this, my wedding stories is almost one year old and is still not eligible.
