nAs the The Sims series celebrates its 25th anniversary,game developer Maxis has launched two new Kit packs, including “Secret Sanctuary” and “Casanova Cave“. The launch of these packs not only adds fresh content to the game but may also have a profound impact on the future advancement direction of the game packs.
Traditionally, the Sims packages have focused on a single type of content, such as create-a-character (CAS) functionality, building items, or gameplay. The launch of “Secret Sanctuary” and “Casanova Cave” this time includes both CAS functions and building items for the first time, showing that future game package packs may break through previous content boundaries and begin to include diversified functions, providing players with more choices and gaming experiences.
The design of these two kits is inspired by the classic small-town characters in The Sims, namely fashion representative Bella Goth and womanizer Don Lothario.Thay not only allow players to relive the charm of classic characters but also create a precedent for future kits focusing on character-themed downloadable content (DLC). If this trend continues, future kit packs may be more themed with other classic characters in the game, further enriching the content of the game.
In addition, the launch of “Secret Sanctuary” and “Casanova Cave” may also have an impact on the DLC structure of The Sims.Since these two kit packs include both CAS functions and construction items, future kit packs may break through the framework of a single function, allowing players to obtain more diverse content in a smaller package.
At the same time, as the The Sims series focuses more and more on launching these game kit packs, there are relatively few launches of traditional “Stuff Packs” that add new items to the game and those that bring some new gameplay or mechanisms. “Game Packs”, Maxis may put more energy into the release of new game package packs rather of traditional expansion packs, allowing players to obtain new game content at a lower cost, but it may also lead to a reduction in sales of traditional expansion packs, thereby changing the game’s content update rhythm.
