How many additional DLC does The Sims 4 have? With this Sims 4 DLC roadmap published by simtimes.de we can see a breakdown of all the different types of packs that have been released since the game first came out.

Whilst we used to have a good mix of Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs, ever since the creation of Kits, they have become the most common DLC released.

As well as this, 2025 has also been by far the biggest year for DLC releases, with 23 total packs released just this year – meaning over 20% of all Sims 4 DLC has come out in just the last 12 months.

The original post was released on their Instagram page with the following caption.

This year saw more new content for The Sims 4 than ever before. However, the majority of this content consisted of Kits. With a total of 20 Kits, there were also more of these than ever before.

We took a look at the distribution of individual The Sims 4 DLCs over the years. A very clear picture emerges: while there used to be a good mix of expansion packs, gameplay packs, and stuff packs, the focus is now clearly on Kits. At least we’re still getting a few larger expansion packs.

In total, we currently have 106 expansions for The Sims 4. This is also the highest number ever for a single Sims generation. How many do you own?

A breakdown of The Sims 4 DLC

In the image posted originally by @Simtimes_de, we can see a visual breakdown of the different DLC types going back all the way to 2015.

We can see Expansion Packs in blue, Game Packs in green, Stuff Packs in yellow, and Kits in pink/purple.

This graph makes it clear that Kits have surpassed all other types of DLC, with 55 official Kits being available for purchase. That is over half of all DLC, with all Expansion Game and Stuff packs totalling 51 DLC.

What stands out to us also is the sheer volume of Kits releases in 2025, with 20 this year alone.

What do people think of this Sims 4 DLC roadmap?

Looking at the comments on this post, the community response is mainly critical and frustration, with many players expressing clear dissatisfaction with the growing number of Kits.

According to many people in the comments, they are widely seen as unnecessary, with few content/assets that seem repetitive and overpriced, with several commenters stating that some items could have been included as free updates. The high volume of releases has, for some, also led to purchase fatigue, causing players who once aimed to own everything to become more selective or disengaged.

As well as comments wishing we had seen more pack refreshes like Spa Day and features from old games like the spiral staircases, there is also a sense of growing nostalgia for Game Packs. We can see from this image how few of them have been released compared to all the other types of DLC, they were a brand new type of pack when The Sims 4 came out, but we haven’t seen one be released since 2022.

There is also clear shock at the volume and total cost of Kits released in such a short period, with some commenters reacting in disbelief to the cumulative price. It’s easy to dismiss Kits as a small price, but when you add it all together, the total cost of DLC just from 2025 is 220 euros, just under $260.

Do you think we now have too many DLCs available for purchase? If so, what should the team be focusing on instead of Kits? Let us know below.
